You've found ✨Avari's Crossing✨, a rare lakefront gem💎on the beautiful Whitefish Chain that truly has it all:
Here you can wake up to slow, quiet mornings in a stunning 4-bedroom luxury log cabin. Enjoy your coffee☕ on one of the two covered decks offering panoramic water views and then get ready in one of the 3.5 brand spa-style bathrooms (think chandeliers and heated floors!).
Spend your afternoons exploring the Whitefish Chain by boat 🚤 (bring your own or we will help you rent one) or on the provided stand-up paddle boards. Catch your own dinner with excellent fishing🎣 right outside your door (w/ a grill for your use!) or take your boat to one of the many lakeside restaurants. Is golfing more your speed? There are multiple golf⛳ courses within 4 miles. Like to shop? The cutest local boutiques await in Nisswa, Pequot Lakes, and Crosslake. Here you will find the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.
Rainy day? No disappointments here! There is a dedicated game room🎮that includes arcade games, an air hockey table, foosball and 65" smart TV. You'll also find a cabinet full of board games and a smart TV in every bedroom!
Your evenings were designed to be magic 🪄 - filled with catching up by the lakeside firepit (firewood included April-Dec), making s'mores and memories, soaking in the hot tub under the stars, or rejuvenating in your private barrel sauna. This home was created to offer a relaxing, luxurious and memorable up-north experience.🌲
