Amazing place to celebrate our buddy getting married!

The place was absolutely perfect. It fit all of us guys, was clean, stocked up fully with bathroom essentials, and even came with a little goodie/gift when we arrived. The host was speedy in responding to any questions and helpful in all ways. The place is in a beautiful spot on the lake and close to Brainerd and Garrison. I highly recommend this vrbo spot and will hopefully be back to stay again.

Summer 2024 on Crooked Lake

What a wonderful experience on Crooked Lake. The property is immaculate and perfectly appointed for multi-generational families. Comfy beds, fast wifi, and beautiful outdoor spaces. We loved coffee on the deck, smores at the bonfire, and easy access to the lake. Can't wait to come again!

Amazing lake get-away

This house was wonderful for my family and friends to vacation together for the weekend. We had four adults and four kids ages 3-6. There were plenty of sleeping spaces both up and downstairs, and the kitchen was equipped with all the tools you need for cooking meals. The space was clean and cozy. We especially enjoyed the beautiful backyard and lake access. Our only regret is that we only booked for two nights!

Beautiful, modern cabin

I brought my family to this vrbo for a weekend. We loved the ability to sleep all of us with the use of pull out couches and an air mattress, having 3 full bathrooms was a huge plus and the decor was perfect for the location. We even used the fireplace for a bit because of a chilly last morning. My parents and sister enjoyed the paddle boat. The kitchen appliances were all great—there’s even a coffee grinder! The one thing I’d suggest is supplying more coffee cups as well as bowls and spoons. Would definitely come back to stay here, it was very cozy and spacious for our family. I’m also intrigued by the stone floor in the basement—it was very cool and am curious if it’s heated in the winter. Loved the winding staircase also.

Nice place to stay on a quiet lake

Our family of 6 adults and 1 toddler had a nice stay. This a very nice cabin on a great piece of property on a quiet lake. The cabin was a high end with lots of stone and very nice decor. There is an outstanding fire pit overlooking lake and the location is close to golf courses and the Cuyuna mtn bike park. Bass fishing on Crooked Lake was fantastic.
