About this property

Woods & Water Rentals

Bring the whole family! Sleeps 24 comfortably. Enjoy both the lake and land, situated on 165 acres on Bay Lake just 10 miles outside of the town of Crosby and the Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Trails, which offer 70 miles of winding trails through the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area. You will be 1.5 miles from Ruttgers Resort where you can book a round of golf or enjoy a tasty lakeside lunch or dinner at the restaurant. On this property you will enjoy hiking, biking, swimming in the heated pool, or play some pickleball or tennis. You will have lake access for fishing, pontoon rides and recreational water sports. Our property is situated in one of the lake’s premier swimming bays, with clear waters reaching a depth of 35 feet just 100 yards from the dock. Plus, a scenic 5-minute boat ride takes you to a nearby sandbar. Fire-pit area outside for a nice evening fire. The main living room boasts a large fieldstone fireplace with wood split outside the door for your use and makes for a cozy night in. Several local restaurants and one being our favorite Lonesome Pine is great for all ages, fine dining and casual atmosphere at the same time. There is a very nice Super One grocery store in Crosby, along with an attached liquor store. Downtown Crosby also has several restaurants and shops. The Cuyuna Regional Medical Center is also a quick 10-12 minute drive.

We had an incredible stay at the Deerwood property and can't recommend it enough. Check-in was a breeze, and being walked around the property at the start was such a helpful touch. The place was spotlessly clean, and the attention to detail was remarkable: it's fully equipped right down to the kitchen utensils and cutlery, so we never once found ourselves needing a thing. The pool was absolutely amazing, the perfect setup for a group our size, with so many things to do and plenty of space to relax. The kids especially loved fishing off the dock. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but the property genuinely matches the price; everything felt polished and well cared for, top to bottom. We'd stay again in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much, Ashley, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! It means the world to us to hear that your group enjoyed everything from the easy check-in process and property tour to the fully stocked kitchen, heated pool, and fishing off the dock. We work hard to create a luxury family vacation rental on Bay Lake in Deerwood, Minnesota where large groups can relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories, so your kind words truly mean a lot. We are especially grateful that you’ve already rebooked your stay with us for Summer 2027, that is the greatest compliment we could receive! Thank you for trusting us with another family vacation. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Woods & Water Rentals and help create even more unforgettable memories next summer. See you in 2027!

5-Star Family Paradise on Bay Lake: The Ultimate Deerwood Getaway!Our group of 17 just returned from a magical 5-night stay in Deerwood, MN. This stunning home hosted our large family with effortless style and comfort.The crown jewel is the large swimming pool. With a shallow end for the little ones and plenty of depth for jumping, it was our family hub. Stocked with toys and floaties, featuring large canopies for shade, multipe loungers and a table, built for all-day relaxation.The adventure continues across the grounds: The tennis/pickleball/BB court was a hit, and the dock provided instant fishing success for the grandkids. We loved the scenic hiking and biking trails, and our quiet morning coffees on the creek-side swing.The layout is a dream for hosting. Seven spacious bedrooms and 4 bathrooms meant we never felt cramped. The kitchen is fully equipped for large-scale meal prep, while the backyard grill and griddle made patio dinners a breeze. Evenings were spent gathered around the fire pit under the stars.Thoughtful details set this home apart. Fans in every bedroom and nightlights at every bunkbed ensured everyone—from the youngest to the oldest—felt comfortable and at home.Host Tiffany and property manager Jay provided world-class service. Their prompt, genuine attentiveness ensured everything ran perfectly from start to finish.For a family reunion where the memories start the moment you arrive, look no further. This Bay Lake gem is highly recommended!!

Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re truly honored you chose Woods & Water for your family reunion and are so happy to hear your group of 17 had such a memorable 5-night stay. It’s wonderful to know the pool was the heart of your trip and that the little touches, floaties, shade canopies, and lounge space helped make it enjoyable for all ages. We’re also glad you were able to take advantage of the pickleball/tennis/basketball court, dock fishing, trails, fire pit, and all the indoor and outdoor spaces designed for large group gatherings. We especially love hearing that the layout, bedrooms, and kitchen worked well for your family meals and time together, and that everyone felt comfortable throughout your stay. Thank you as well for the kind words about our hosting and management team, it means a lot to know everything felt seamless from start to finish. We’re grateful for your recommendation and would love to welcome your family back to Bay Lake for another Minnesota reunion or group getaway anytime!
