We stayed here with grandma and grandpa and our family of 4. Loved that the one bedroom on the main level was a little separated from the upper rooms so grandma and grandpa could have their own private space away from our noisy kids!Everything we needed was provided at the house, and appreciated being able to use the water toys as well as having access to a whole bin of beach toys! Fishing was great- caught pike every day. Short drive in to town and great location. Would absolutely recommend to others!

Cross Lake Retreat

This was a great location for our group of adults and children. We loved having access to the kayaks, the great fire pit, the sandy beach area, and toys for the kids. The location is on a private lake and it was very quiet, which we loved. We went into Crosslake for ice cream and there are nearby restaurants, if desired. We had a great stay!

We had an amazing time!! We loved having the private beach and our kids thought it was great!! We took full advantage of the paddle boat, canoe, and kayaks! The cabin itself was spacious and lovely. The kitchen was well-stocked, we loved having a huge dining room table, and the living room couch was sooooooooo comfortable. We loved drinking our coffee and looking out on the lake every morning. Overall, we had a 10/10 experience and would love to come back!!
