SUMMER fun in a cozy log lake home on the Whitefish Chain under the tall pines 🌲

You will want to come and see why Cross lake is one of the hottest spots in Minnesota to vacation.

Our cabin is located on 'Big Trout Lake' connecting to 14 lakes on the Whitefish Chain ready for you to explore.

Big Trout is known for it's pristine water clarity, lake depth and for it's great fishing and swimming.

Our cabin sits on a level shoreline lot allowing everyone to be able to enjoy the lake! There are no steps or steep hills to climb just to get close to the water. Our cabin sits close to the water among the tall pine trees and offers an excellent sandy lake bottom for great swimming and a private dock ready for you to tie up your boat. There is also a beautiful walking, biking and jogging trail just steps away from our cabin that takes you along the scenic Manhattan point.

After a great day on the lake, Cross lake offers many great restaurants either by boat or just a quick drive into town, and Manhattan Beach Lodge bar and restaurant is just a short walk from the cabin.

Cross lake has so much to offer and has golfing for adults and kids, great shopping options, walking or biking paths and many other amenities, and the Brainerd/Baxter area is only approximately 30 minutes away.

After dinner, you will want to enjoy the beautiful sunsets, relax on the deck with a great beverage, or have a great campfire with the fire-pit that sits close to the lake for evening campfires and s’mores!

Our log cabin is clean, well equipped, nicely furnished throughout and is a perfect place to build memories with family and friends.

The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Great family time

This was our 4th time at Pinecone Lodge. The cabin was very clean, check in was easy and the owners are always easy to communicate with. The cabin is very cozy, beautiful view of the lake and a great outside space to enjoy campfires. We used the walking trail that is just across the road, always fun to see the deer. We brought our pontoon boat so we could also enjoy some time on the water. This cabin is a great place to spend time and relax. The Kings

Perfect in Every Way

My husband, three adult children, and elderly mother greatly enjoyed our stay at Pinecone Lodge. The house had everything we needed. My mom was able to get around easily on the first floor. (The walk in shower was a must for her due to limited mobility.) We had great times around the campfire and on the dock. The walking/bike trail across the street provided good exercise and the path was pretty, mostly shady, and a good distance. This was a comfortable, clean, and beautiful home in an excellent location. We highly recommend!

Family get away at pinecone lodge

This is our 3rd time at Pinecone Lodge and we are already booked for next year. This is a very quiet, cozy, comfortable cabin. The dock is just steps away and we brought our pontoon boat and took advantage of the nice weather, cruising the Whitefish chain of lakes with our family and dogs. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the backyard, this was mandatory for the family. We used the nearby walking trail each morning, with the dogs. The owners have a gem of a rental cabin and the cleaning crew does an amazing job keeping the cabin clean. The cabin is well stocked with anything we needed. Communications with the owner has been great. Bill and Gina King

Perfect

We were ever pleased with the house, yard, view and location of the very clean cabin. It was everything as advertised. We’ve VRBO many cabins in the area and found this property perfect for us. My wife, adult daughter and our 12 year old grandchild had a great time. Firewood provided for evening enjoyment. A dock to tie our boat up to. Communication with the owners was simple and responsive. We would use this property again. Thanks again to the Littles.

Wonderful spot!

Very clean and great location. Drive in a little tight, but once you are there a very nice property. We went over the fourth of July so we were a little worried about traffic, but was a nice quiet spot even with Manhattan Beach near by it was very relaxing. I would recommend going to the launch first and then bring back your trailer. Owners were great to work with and we will likely be back again!

Memories made

Pinecone Lodge is incredible. Tim and Mary are very responsive and have thought of everything. Our kids were greeted with Halloween treat bags, our dog with milk bones and the cabin decorated for the season. The location is perfect for relaxation, yet close to everything. We loved walking around Cranberry Lake and getting coffee at the various places in town. The cabin is spacious yet cozy, and has great appliances and kitchen supplies for any meal. The radiant floor heating and stove are great features in cooler months. Fresh firewood, starters and s’mores sticks were also appreciated. We also spent an afternoon at Trout Lake Camp which is less than 15 minutes away. We will be back!

Fall getaway

We had another nice stay at Pinecone Lodge. 4 adults. The weather even cooperated. The cabin was very clean, a gift waiting for us on the counter...marsh mellows and Hershey bars for s'mores. The cabin had everything that we needed. Its very comfortable and cozy. We brought a pontoon boat and spent many hours on the water. Took the dog to a nice sandbar and let her swim and run around. Visited three restaurants by water and just cruised around looking at the scenery. There is a nice walking trail across the road from the cabin and we used it every morning. There is also a nice dog park and nature trail within 5 minutes of the cabin. We spent our evenings by the camp fire in the back yard, relaxing. We were also able to catch some bass off the dock , I'm sure we could have caught more if we would have gotten up earlier. This is a great place to stay and we are hopeful that we can return next year.

Great Crosslake experience!

This was the perfect cabin for us. We loved the location , Trout Lake is a tad quieter than some other parts of the Whitefish chain. The flat yard and lakefront made for easy access. The cabin is very clean (we are VRBO regulars, and this is not always true), well appointed and comfortable. Tim is a great owner and communicator. Wish we were there now!

A perfect summer week!

We had a grand time at Pinecone Lodge! This was the perfect space for ourselves, 2 grown kids, their spouses and two grand kids. We had enough space but not too much so we could spend true quality time together. With the water just steps from the cabin and the sunset view at the dock or through the pines, it was a wonderful place to stay and enjoy all the amenities of Crosslake and the Whitefish Chain. The cabin had all the utensils, pots, pans, and storage space we needed. We will be looking to book again for sure!
