The property includes a large, hard-to-find, sandy beach area that everyone can relax at and build sandcastles in. With clear water, the beach area is one of the best parts of the outdoors. Also included are a paddleboat, kayaks and a new dock with bench where you can do some fishing. If you bring your own boat, there is a boat launch on the property. There is also a new firepit area with Adirondack chairs for your evening fires.

For those with four-wheelers / ATV's - you can access the ATV trails right down the road.

For those that want to shop - a short 20 minute drive gets you to the cute shops in Nisswa, or drive another 10 minutes and get everything you need in Brainerd.

Other things to do in the area - Brewery Tours, Mini Golf, Paul Bunyan Land, Northland Kart Kountry, Brainerd Zip Line Tour, Safari North Wildlife Park... just to name a few!

And in the winter, those into snowmobiling - the state snowmobile trail goes through our lake, approximately 200 yards off the beach!

There's things to do all year around!

This property was just as beautiful as the photos. The cabin was spacious and welcoming. It was our first vacation with our grandkids and it was everything we were hoping for. The kids loved the private sandy beach, all the outdoor toys, large campfire space, and the paddle boat & kayaks.

We had an amazing time!! We loved having the private beach and our kids thought it was great!! We took full advantage of the paddle boat, canoe, and kayaks! The cabin itself was spacious and lovely. The kitchen was well-stocked, we loved having a huge dining room table, and the living room couch was sooooooooo comfortable. We loved drinking our coffee and looking out on the lake every morning. Overall, we had a 10/10 experience and would love to come back!!

Quiet lake stay

It’s so unusual to have a quiet stay on a lake. We loved that. The house was perfect for our group. It was well stacked with necessities and kitchen supplies. The yard was well kept. The kids played on the beach every day. The only downside was that we could not put our jet skis in due to the number of weeds. There was a small swimming area that was weed free but the lake at that end is weedy. We did use the landing across the street to put in the jet skis. It is very close and easily accessible. We used the kayaks, canoe and numerous beach toys.

Duck Lake was great!

We enjoyed our weeklong stay at Duck Lake. We were a family of four with grandparents and we had plenty of room and things to do. The house was spacious and clean and very accommodating. We had an issue with the WiFi but the owners were super responsive. Highly recommend this place that’s near Crosslake but not in the crazy mix of giant lake houses. Duck lake was smaller and peaceful, even for 4th of July weekend.

Wonderful property

We loved this home. The open hang out area and the beach were the highlights. We were two families both with children and had a wonderful time. The home is well equipped with kitchen stuff and lots of room for pantry items. The second fridge was nice for drinks etc. beds were comfortable. Overall we have stayed at several VRBO and this was one of our favorites. We have already booked for next year!

Duck lake

The response from the owners was impeccable. The cabin had pretty much everything one would need: beach toys, beach towels, kayaks, and a kitchen with incredible amounts of storage and just about every item you'd need. The kids had a blast on the sandy beach with all the beach toys. Thank you!

Cross Lake Retreat

This was a great location for our group of adults and children. We loved having access to the kayaks, the great fire pit, the sandy beach area, and toys for the kids. The location is on a private lake and it was very quiet, which we loved. We went into Crosslake for ice cream and there are nearby restaurants, if desired. We had a great stay!

Great little getaway

Nice quiet cabin tucked between 2 other homes. Great sandy shoreline for kids to play. House came with kids toys, towels, games, and much more. Our family enjoyed fishing off the dock, using the paddle boats and kayaks, and fire pit. We would definitely book again.

Family Vacation

Property was just as described on small private lake. The beach and sand toys was great for the kids. Lake is relatively shallow and not much luck fishing but ideal for peaceful kayak and paddle boat rides! Easy access to launch boat onto cross lake if you want a bigger lake. House comfortably fit our 3 family’s and kitchen had everything we needed.

Beautiful Setting

Our family enjoyed this location- the toddlers loved the sand, the teens enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat, and the adults enjoyed the campfires and beautiful setting in the trees. Easy access to the bigger lake through a short path through trees across the road- we jumped on a family member's pontoon easily. The dining table and kids table made meals special and easy. The lake view is the perfect way to start and end the day.

Amazing Family Getaway

AJ and Abby were outstanding hosts. Their communication was friendly and very responsive. The property is well maintained and accurately described on the VRBO app. We enjoyed the sandy beach, fishing in the kayaks, yard games and family fun in the spacious living and dining areas. We took advantage of fun activities in the nearby towns of Crosslake and Nisswa including turtle races, pizza at Raffertys and Zorbas, ice cream at the Chocolate Ox, shopping at the cute shops - our daughter and granddaughter especially liked Squirrely Mama! We would give this property 6 stars if it was an option!

Perfect family vacation spot!

The property was an excellent location! It was so close to town and the local grocery store, and we loved the large yard with direct access to the lake. The water access was incredible, and we loved using the kayaks and paddle boat. Plenty of adult and kids life vests were available, which was great. Additionally, the accommodations and toys were perfect for the 3 and 6 year old. We brought games and toys, which they never even touched! They were too busy playing in the tent inside with board games or digging in the sand beach. We cooked every meal there, and there were plenty of pots, pans, utensils, etc. This is definitely a place we would book again in the future!

Another Great Summer Get-Away at Duck Lake

For the 2nd year in a row, we traveled to Duck Lake for our summer vacation. And just like last year, great all the way around. 1. AJ and Amanda (owners) are awesome. They communicate and they care about your trip! 2. Pictures are a perfect representation of the property. Plenty of space for families and kids. Clean and well stocked for cooking, family night movies/games, etc. 3. Location is awesome. You have your own beach area, part of the lake, firepit, deck overlooking the lake, grill, and yard area to play. Plenty of toys for kids and adults, both in and out of the water. Plus, you are literally 10 minutes to the grocery store, hardware store, gas, boat rental on the Whitefish Chain, golf, shopping, etc. We will certainly be back!

About the host

Hosted by Amanda & AJ Reyer

We wanted to have a place we could use, but also to share with others. I love hosting and take pride in making sure our guests have everything they need during their stay.

Why they chose this property

The land is spacious, private, including a private lake, and across the road is Cross Lake and the large White Chain of Lakes - so many options! It has acreage and yet is just a few minutes from fun activities, local establishments, fishing, golfing, shopping and a half hour from Brainerd. It is situated in the perfect spot for anyone and everyone!

What makes this property unique

The large beach is something that we searched a long time for. Not only do we have a large beach, it is private and in our own bay - which is a big differentiator. We have rented places for years with our family and find it hard to get a great place with a great beach, which is why it was so important that we had that so that families and friends had a nice area to hang out at. Plus, it is a fantastic place to play in the sand!
