About this property

Newly Constructed Lakeside Cottage-Heavenly Porch-2 Fireplaces-Includes Pontoon!

Come visit our newest location, completed in August 2023, Pinecone Cottage gives the classic lake house feel! From the time you enter the covered porch, to when you reluctantly leave this lakes area retreat, you will be taken back in time to those childhood endless summer days. With an expansive 3 season screen porch across the lakeside, you can enjoy everything from morning coffee, evening card games, to watching the sunset over the lake from this west facing gem. The cabin has an open floor plan, that showcases the lake views as soon as you walk in the door. The well appointed kitchen is open to the central dining area, and cozy living area complete with stone fireplace, and this all opens up to the porch with a 16 ft sliding door. The main level also features 1 of the 4 bedrooms and a bathroom with a walk in tile shower. The upper level features two cozy vaulted bedroom suites, one with a stone gas fireplace and built in bed in addition to the queen bed, both have attached baths with custom walk in tile showers. The lower level is all about the camp theme, with 6 built in bunks and an open TV area with giant cushy sectional for movie nights for kids of all ages. The lower level also has another bedroom with a queen bed and a bathroom with a walk in custom tile shower. The full size laundry room is also on this level.

Outside there is a fire pit patio just steps from the screen porch overlooking the lake, surrounded by Adirondack chairs (firewood provided), a gas grill and a lush green lawn for yard games. This property has a sand beach, with a sandy shoreline, dock with sitting area and comes with a pontoon for evening cruises and morning fishing excursions.
For those of you that need to stay connected, the cabin also includes Wifi, two HD smart TVs and cable, it also has a Sonos music system so you can listen to your choice or music while you relax. And don't worry the cabin might give off a 1950's vibe , but you won't be roughing it, the cabin was done with granite counter tops, wood plank pine floors, custom tile showers and lots of creature comforts such as 3 zone heating and A/C system, 2 gas fireplaces, all new appliances and a Kinetico softened water system.

The property is situated 5 miles east of the town of Crosslake on beautiful Lake O'Brien. Lake O'Brien is a clean spring fed lake, with a water clarity of 24', one of the cleanest lakes in the area. The lake itself is surrounded by mature pines and hardwoods with approximately 5 miles of shoreline, a quarter of which is state owned property, so not developed. During the summer this recreational lake is perfect for all sorts of water activities from boating, to floating and everything in-between. Its location on a quiet tar township road makes is perfect for a summer morning walk or bike ride. During the winter months the lake is perfect for ice fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing or as a base camp for endless miles of groomed snowmobile trails.

Pinecone Cottage is perfect for a family or and an extended family, and because of the set up it works for 4 families with kids or as a couples getaway or even a small family reunion, the options are many. We have a strict limit of 15 people at this location. There are 4 Queen beds ( 1 per bedroom), and 7 single beds ( bunks and built in). We do keep our calendar updated and so if you are seeing availability then it's likely available. Upon reservation confirmation you'll receive a welcome message, and ahead of your stay you will receive a complete " what to bring" list to help you prepare for your time at Pinecone Cottage. Feel free to inquire with any questions you may have and we'll be prompt to reply. We pride ourselves on keeping our property and structures/equipment pristine and are certain we will exceed your expectations. And further, since we also live on this lake, should any questions or problems arise we can respond quickly. In fact your only disappointment will be when you have to leave!

NOTE: the pontoon is in the water, and use is included in the stated rental rates, from approximately early May-late September.

Girls getaway
My friends and I had the pleasure of staying at the Pinecone cottage for 5 days. The cabin exceeded our expectation in every way and communication with the owners was just as nice. We did not experience any issues or problems while there. Upon arrival the cabin was very clean and immaculate. This property is well appointed and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage in every aspect, especially the fireplace on the main level and the screen porch. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

Amazing!
My Boyfriend and our dog stayed at the cabin for an extended weekend and we had a great time! The cabin was way more than what we need but for the price and location we couldn’t have picked a better place! The cabin had everything we needed and more. The view from the porch was absolutely beautiful and I made sure to enjoy it every day!! Matt and Ranae were great to work with and we will definitely be back!!

Beautiful cabin
We had a nice stay over spring break - wasn't expecting to be snowed in but the cabin was very cozy and beautiful so we didn't mind too much.

St. Patty’s weekend with the double cousins
Love, love, love this property! We have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals, and this one was our favorite by far. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. There was so much room to spread out and the bunk room in the lower level was so stinking cute. Although we had no littles with to occupy that space, we talked about planning another stay with them! Every space in this house was cleverly designed and decorated. Well will be back forsure!
