We had a great stay. The only thing was that the house was not as roomy as it appeared in pictures. Also one of the AC’s in a room was too noisy. The property manager was very responsive to our needs !

Perfect Location

We stayed for a week in August with our 3 kids (14,12,and 7) and a set of grandparents. The location is absolutely perfect - you definitely want to rent a boat. We explored the chain during the day tubing and visiting restaurants and went on many nice sunset cruises. The channel is busy but swimming is still safe and it was fun to watch the boats go by and it got quiet in the evenings. Sitting on the porch you feel privacy from the neighbors. There were some beach toys and stuff for babies/smaller kids. There is also an extra fridge/freezer in the basement which was nice. The house is on the smaller side but well laid out and has everything you need. Slight downsides for us were the A/C window units vs central air-note they are only in the 3 upstairs bedrooms. When we were there the screens were rather dirty with cobwebs and bugs but nothing a power wash wouldn't fix. There were a few beachtowels to use, but pack extra like the listing says. When we were there the fridge water/ice unit wasn't working so you'll want to buy some bags of ice. Overall, a great property for the price. The property manager has great communication and will be very responsive to any questions or concerns.

Great location on the chain

The location of the property is what made our week special. The kids loved being able to catch fish after fish off the dock & see them bite in the crystal clear water. It was quick access to Lower Whitefish but really nice to be protected from the wind. The house had everything we needed to cook our meals for the week & had ample storage.

An Extremely Relaxing Stay in Cross Lake

We checked in on Friday, for a 5-night stay. The property was extremely clean and well-provisioned. The views from kitchen, dining room and family rooms are outstanding. The beds were very clean and comfy. The unit has up-to-date appliances. Lastly, as an older gentleman, I very much appreciated that all my living requirements were on the upstairs level. My family and I would absolutely return to this property.

The location is perfect and the house is wonderful. Can't beat this combination! The property manager was so helpful and easy to work with. I don't think you can find a better place on the Whitefish chain. The house has everything you need and having such a nice dock for a boat is a real plus. All the amenities included make the stay that much better. We hope to be back!

Beautiful location!

We were so pleasantly surprised by our stay. The location is charming and private. The channel made for calm waters, stunning views of the fall trees on all sides and beautiful sunsets. The neighborhood was quiet and lovely for a stroll. The house itself was well equipped with everything we needed. The kids enjoyed paddle boarding to a small island. The dock was left out into mid October allowing our sons to fish all day. The manager was incredibly attentive. We hope to go back!

The house was very clean and fit our family of 12 well. The communication was great. The toys they had for kids was an awesome bonus. The only thing that was tough for us was the parking. We had 3 boat trailers that were really hard to fit. Overall great place to stay and we had a great time.

Family long weekend

Spent four days at this Rush lakeside cabin. Mike Fish was very helpful and always available. The house was cleaned before out arrival. The house has a dock and is located on causeway between Rush and Lower Whitefish so ready access to great water. Caught several nice largemouth under the dock! There is a nice fire pit for evening campfires. The house has a large rear deck with ample seating. Washer and dryer on premises which was very convenient. We all had a great time. This unit is highly recommended and five star.

Bring your own water toys. You can buy firewood on County Road 16 (just head toward Pequot Lakes). The firewood is half the cost of what we paid at the convenience store in Cross Lake.
