Beautiful cabin in a quiet bay....The lot is fantastic for yard games and other activities. Plenty of room for our family and the bunk room was a plus for the grandkids. Swimming area was perfect along with the firepit. Thank you for a wonderful time full of memories.

Oasis

We had 8 adults and 4 kids (ages 2-11), this place was perfect. There was so much space, it never felt crowded. From a fully equipped kitchen to board games and sand toys, we were in need of nothing! The sandy beach and shallow shore were great for playing and floating. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Family vacation

This is a great property!! We have stayed at several different properties in the Brainerd area, this was by far the best! Beautiful cabin, plenty of room for the whole family. There were 16 of us, ages 9 months to 92. Flat lot for all our games and competitions. Sand beach for the young kids to build sand castles. Water was warm and extremely clear compared to other lakes in the area. Owners were very responsive when we had any questions. Will definitely be returning!!

About the host

Hosted by Erin S Olson

Host profile image

We are a family of five from the Twin Cities and have been enjoying the Crosslake area for over 15 years. My husband and I were married in the Crosslake area over 10 years ago and have fallen in love with the area. Both of us come from large families and enjoy having a place where we can spend quality time with our all our friends and family doing the things we love most.
We own and manage 5 rental properties in the Twin Cities and as well as run a successful Real Estate business. Crosslake is our place to relax and enjoy time together with family and friends. It truly is our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

When we first step foot on Ivy Lane we knew it was a special place. It has a quiet and peaceful ambiance as it's tucked back in the South Bay of Crosslake, which gives you the feel of being on your own personal lake, but yet gives you access to the entire Whitefish Chain of lakes. The lakeshore was a hard sandy bottom making it the perfect swimming beach.

What makes this property unique

The lakeside of the house faces West to get perfect views of the summer sunset off the back patio. Ivy Lane has an accessible entrance and has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on the main level. We added a 16' expansive double sliding french door off the back to bring the outdoors in. We also added a screened porch off the back so you can enjoy the outdoors even after sunset without the bugs.
