Beautiful and unique cabin that was perfect for our short stay. Very clean and well-equipped. Highly recommended for a couple and maybe their spry kids/grandkids to handle the stairs to the loft. Excellent and clear communication with the hosts!

Perfect retreat

The property is exactly as shown- very clean and well maintained. The area is peaceful, and a short drive to town. We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying nature, peace and quiet. It was the perfect couples retreat and would be great for a family stay as well. Highly recommended staying here! We will definitely be back!

Great cabin, close to everything

My wife and our 19 year old autistic son came up with me. We rented a side by side and went trail riding with some friends from the area. Great location in a private neighborhood. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for something low key.

Wonderful Cabin

We had a wonderful stay in the TreeTop cabin! The cabin was very clean and well furnished. All of the kitchen utensils and spices one could need! The picnic table and fire pit were wonderful outdoor options! You can hear the traffic from the highway, but it’s secluded and peaceful! Great location in Crosslake!

Little gem in the tree tops!

We surprised our kids with a quick weekend away. The tree top cabin is amazing! The decorating was beautiful, beds were super comfy, it had all the kitchen utensils you could need, and the views were great! It was so peaceful to wake up and have coffee by the fire! Given the weather wasn’t great, it was truly a perfect spot to hunker down and watch Mn sports, play games and just enjoy time with each other away from the madness. Thank you for sharing it with us! We will be back!

Excellent communication and very clean. Such a magical place to stay while you explore up north. My one gripe is the location. You are in a neighborhood, luckily the trees and forest provide privacy.

The perfect weekend away

The treehouse cabin was an incredible stay. The cabin is beautiful appointed and thoughtfully laid out. Darrin’s communication is top-notch, and the neighbors are friendly (we accidentally went to the wrong cabin when we first arrived). What a great way to spend a cold February weekend. We can’t wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Darrin Stuhr

Host profile image
We are the Stuhrs. We purchased the property from the neighboring Kochs in 2020. The property was built by the local builder, Wes Hanson. The property is nestled in 4 acres of woods that was given to the Koch children by their grandfather. The grandchildren built treehouse in the woods and those memories lived out years later in beautifully designed "treetop" cabins in the heart of Crosslake. We hope you enjoy the cabin as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Crosslake Treetop Escape is a rare blend of rustic charm and modern comfort set high among the woods in Crosslake, MN, offering a “tree‑top” getaway unlike any other. Our two‑bedroom cabin is perfectly appointed for couples or small groups: a fully stocked kitchen, modern amenities, strong WiFi, contactless entry, and a cozy gas fireplace. What makes it really special is the location — perched above 4 acres of pine, birch, and oak with wildlife, foliage, and views all around, yet just minutes away from the Whitefish Chain of Lakes, Crosslake’s shops, trails, and dining. Whatever the season — lake life in summer, snow‑coated tranquility in winter — it delivers a private, peaceful escape in nature without sacrificing comfort.
