Tucked among towering pines on the shores of Big Trout Lake—part of the sought-after Whitefish Chain—this private retreat offers the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and convenience, just 5 minutes from Crosslake. You’ll be close to top local dining, shops, and nightlife while enjoying the serenity of lakeside living.
This location is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts year-round. Boaters will love the access to the full Whitefish Chain, and guests have the option to rent a pontoon right at the property—making it easy to spend full days exploring the water. Snowmobilers can hop directly onto the trail running right in front of the cabin, connecting to miles of scenic routes. In warmer months, explore by boat, bike, ATV/UTV, or car—adventure is always just outside your door. Golfers will appreciate having eight courses within a 15-minute drive, and a paved bike path just across the driveway makes for easy, scenic rides through the area.
Inside, the home is designed for comfort, connection, and making memories. With ample sleeping space and large gathering areas, it’s ideal for families and groups. The oversized loft features a kids play closet - tucked away for them to enjoy. After a day outdoors, cozy up by the fireplace on crisp fall evenings or snowy winter days.
Down by the water, you’ll find everything you need to fully enjoy lake life. A large dock offers plenty of space for swimming and securing your watercraft. Guests have access to kayaks, a paddleboat, and a swimming platform, and paddle board. The shoreline is set up for relaxation, with a spacious fire pit, hammocks, and multiple seating areas—ideal for unwinding and taking in the beautiful surroundings.

About the host
Hosted by Brian Bolin
Brian and Lindsey acquired this property in August 2022. They love the lake cabin life and thought this was the perfect opportunity to have our 4 kids Ages 1 to 10 get to experience it as well as other guests who love the lake. Brian grew up on the waters of Lake Mille Lacs and was always found to be on the water or in the woods. He was a fishing guide on Mille Lacs for 8 years while in college. Lindsey was born and raised in Grand Forks, ND but always enjoyed getting away to the lake.
We moved back from Naples, FL to be closer to family and enjoy the 4 seasons. We can't wait to share our lake cabin with you and hope you enjoy making memories with family and friends by the lake as much as we do!!
Why they chose this property
Location, Location, Location!! Our cabin is lakeside with all the water amenities and proximity to everything by any mode of transportation you choose! Boating, swimming, snowmobiling, biking or relaxing by the fire inside or out. This cabin has it all.
