Great Family Getaway Location

Great facility on a quiet bay with minimal boat or jet ski traffic. The kids swam and used their paddle boards and had the whole bay to themselves. The home is clean and very well provisioned for a large family gathering.

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot

Great property for our large family - spacious, clean and comfortable with many activities to keep us entertained. We really enjoyed the large yard, beach area and the kayaks. We also brought 2 boats allowing us to explore the large lake for fishing and tubing. We will be keeping this property in mind for future summer vacations!

Amazing Relaxing Weekend

We rented this property in June 2018 and it did not disappoint. The house is laid out nicely with areas to gather together and yet enough privacy as well. We were pleasantly surprised that the sleeping areas were better than the photos showed( we had 13 adults). The full size kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all meals. The screened in porch was a nice feature to enjoy the evenings without the bugs. Nice fire pit outside and the privacy from neighbors was fantastic. The owner was excellent with communication throughout our reservation. This is a great property and a comfortable place to gather with friends or family.

Amazing Cross Lake Cabin!

We booked this cabin for a bachelorette party and had an amazing time. The cabin was very clean and comfortably slept 13 people (with room to spare). It also had more than enough space for hosting inside and out (2 living spaces, huge yard, cozy bonfire pit, and deck looking out at the lake). The beach was also great for swimming. Cabin was also a quick drive/shuttle away from bars, restaurants, gas station, etc. Check-in/check out was easy and the property manager was incredibly nice and welcoming. As a group of girls, we would have loved more mirrors/lighting in the space, but is a very minor detail/complaint. Overall, an amazing cabin for any type of group. Would highly recommend!

Family Fun Week

The weather was great all week. We had a boat and pontoon so spent alot of time on the lakes fishing or just cruising. All who fished caught fish, a variety. The cabin is very comfortable, clean and well stocked. There was plenty of room for all. I loved the screened it porch for early morning quiet time! Plenty of places to shop for the ladies. Some even went golfing. I recommend this place for a great family vacation. Thank you for sharing. God Bless You!

Fantastic Family Lake Vacay

Our inaugural extended family vacay was a HUGE success, in large part due to this fantastic property! The home is spacious and beautiful. The cove setting is perfection. The teens and young adults enjoyed the kayaks. Everyone enjoyed the view. The sun on the water at sunrise and sunset was beautiful. We enjoyed seeing otters play in the cove and a heron land on the beach and walk under the boat dock. The sound of the loons at twilight was magical. Seeing a bear with three cubs cross a road nearby was a surprise treat! We rented a pontoon for a few days and enjoyed Crosslake immensely; fishing, swimming, and admiring the lake homes. The town is small and adorable. Nice grocery store and a great ice cream shop nearby, as well as a few gift shops. We cooked at the house, but next time we plan to try some of the local eateries. Highly recommend. The owners, Greg and Lisa, are so nice!

Perfect Lake Vacation

There is so much we liked about this property. It is close to town so took only minutes to run to the grocery store. There was 2 docks for the 2 boats we had. The beach was great for the kids to play on and to launch our paddle boards and kayaks from. The backyard was large enough to play yard games and had great shade to sit and watch all of the activity. The fire pit was large and a great gathering place in the evening. Our adult kids loved the deck with its large table and umbrella where they played a lot of games of cribbage. The inside is open concept. We had plenty of space to cook meals and serve everyone. The 2 big inside tables gave us plenty of space for everyone. This kitchen was incredibly well stocked with every pot, pan, small kitchen appliance that you would need. The owner was very quick in responding to any questions we had. What we loved most was the view from the cabin and its location on the white fish chain of lakes. We were able to do so much exploring of the area by boat. We had so many laughs and made great memories there.

About the host

Hosted by Greg

Our family started coming to Crosslake in 2000 and we bought our first home the next year. As our three kids grew and we spent more time with our extended family, my sister and her husband wanted to spend more time with their three girls in Crosslake so we bought this home together. We hope you enjoy the personal touches and care that we put into it!
