We had a wonderful time at this Crosslake home! The house was very clean and had a great layout for our larger group, with plenty of space for everyone. The lake views were gorgeous and made for a beautiful setting for the weekend. The host was also very easy to work with and responsive throughout our stay. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend this home to others!

Amazing place!

The cabin was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our 3 families to get together. The amenities and thoughtful touches like spare goggles for kids, a lily pad, a bundle of firewood, the hot tub and more were so appreciated.

Long weekend in Crosslake

The house was everything we hoped and dreamed it would be. It exceeded our expectations at every turn. The ready to go cold mugs in the freezer was a nice touch as well as the thoughtful gift basket on the kitchen counter.

Better than expected

We brought our family of twelve for a nice long weekend. Everyone had a great time, the property is beautiful, accommodations were above and beyond. Everyone had enough room that we weren't stepping on toes, the beds were very comfortable. We will be booking a week next year. Might even do another long weekend this year

What a wonderful cabin!

What a beautiful cabin! Its always hard to book something when all you have is pictures and they usually look better than the cabin in real life. Lucky for us, this cabin was the opposite, pictures didn't do it justice. The cabin was so clean, quality furniture and kitchen utensils, very comfortable beds. Hot tub was a vibe! Great communication with host. Would stay again any day

Nice but a few issues

House is very nice and set up for a lot of people. That being said, parking is an issue. A couple days before check in we were told there was parking for only 4 cars instead of six cars that was specified in the listing. Not sure how they can assert sleeping for so many when no parking is available.We were told the police would be called if there were additional cars or if we were too close to the grass. Not a very friendly welcome and a bit stressful. Hot tub was nice to have. Seating was a little limited (5 people) in the family room and could use another couch.Kitchen had some damage when we arrived and trim falling off. Outside yard was a bit messy but will probably be cleaned before summer season. It was nice to have a dog friendly rental for our 2 small dogs

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for staying with us — we're glad to hear you enjoyed the home overall, especially the hot tub and the chance to bring your dogs along! We completely understand your frustration regarding the parking. While the listing originally mentioned more spots, Crosslake has since updated and strictly enforces local parking regulations, limiting us to a maximum of five vehicles. This isn't a rule we control, but we are required to follow it, and unfortunately, the city does issue fines or warnings if it’s not respected. Our goal is always to keep guests informed and avoid any unnecessary issues during your stay. We also appreciate your notes about the family room seating and minor maintenance items — we’ve passed those along to our team and will be addressing them as we prepare the home for peak season. Thanks again for your feedback!

Relaxing lakeside retreat, no matter the weather

We stayed in early June and it was cooler and grayer than we hoped for. But with the hottub on the property and kayaks we brought along, we swam, paddled, and played in the sand- if we got cold, the hottub was available and ready. We even put a tote by the hottub for the kids to rinse their feet before climbing in :-) We were able to rent a boat with the assistance of the property management and it was perfect! The boat lift didn’t work, which was frustrating, but the dock was fortunately large enough to work around that during our stay. The property manager was very responsive about this issue, although it wasn’t able to be fixed during our stay. Fishing off the dock in the evenings was also perfect for the kids, they all had success and it’s big enough they didn’t cast into one another.The cabin interior was well appointed with nice details we have missed at other cabins, such as extra towels, living room throws (it was chilly during our stay!), and a well stocked kitchen with all the pans/trays etc we needed. Even unexpectedly, a nice blender! The kids loved the arcade machine, actually even took turns and let the adults play sometimes, too. The land across the water from the cabin has no houses on it, so we watched eagles in the trees, deer come drink, momma duck and her ducklings, loons, and even saw an otter or muskrat. We all had a great stay- four kids, 6 adults- with plenty of room to spread out and relax.
