Amazing Northwoods Cabin on Whitefish Chain
We had a great stay at this cabin near Crosslake! The place was spotless when we arrived and you could tell the owners really take care of it. Super cozy and clean.The setting is beautiful. A great spot for families—we had all ages with us and there were lots of games available. Loved the 2 large decks especially one by the water. The guys enjoyed the fishing, appreciated the lead to a great fishing guide!The cabin has that perfect rustic feel—it’s warm, comfy, and really well put together. Used the fireplace inside for chill mornings, and the firepit outside was awesome for s’mores under the stars.One of the coolest parts? You can hop in a boat right from the dock and go grab food at local restaurants. A really fun way to explore the area! The cabin has a big kitchen with high end appliances which was awesome too!If you’re looking for a relaxing trip with family or friends, this place has it all. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful cabin, fantastic spot!
Thank you so much for letting us rent your cabin last weekend. Appreciate your quick response and follow through. We had a wonderful time! The cabin is so charming. Beautiful old construction, but with many fabulous updates that made for a very comfortable stay. The small separate sleeping quarters was our favorite, everyone was fighting for that spot!
It was nice to be close enough to Crosslake to get there quickly and easily, but just far enough away to "get away".
The lake view is breathtaking! Looking forward to getting back there soon.
