Lakeside Sand Beach House on 3 Acres of fun Near Nisswa and Cross Lake.

Come be in the heart of the Brainerd Nisswa area. Everything is nearby but you won't be able to tell with the 3 acres of woods and Private Sand Beach Protected on both sides. The sunsets are Amazing with the property facing to the west. The property is all flat all the way to the beach and we are lakefront with nothing blocking the view. There is a beach house right next to the lake with full access to the paddle board, Kayak, beach toys. Lake Edward is a 2600 acre lake which is very clean, sand bottom throughout. We just finished a Game room where you will find a Pool table, Foosball, Arcade Games,Card Table. The fishing is very good with a variety of types of fish. We have added a separate game room which is ideal for keeping the noise down and having space when the weather is not cooperating. There is a resort on the lake where you can get gas and snacks, etc. There is a pontoon available for rent that you see in the pictures. In the winter there is a snowmobile trail right out front of the house. We have a 8 person jacuzzi hot tub available except in summer months. Enjoy your stay at our paradise!!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms and a dining area. 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.

It was a wonderful place for having our entire family of 16 people. Plenty of space to spread out and have alone time as well as group time. Kitchen was great - this VRBO was the most well stocked we have ever had - plenty of dishes and appliances to make our stay great. Kids were in the water alot and used a number of the water toys. It was the best possible place for our annual family time.

Summer vaca

The house met our family's needs with lots of space for all of us to hang out and was fully stocked. The deck and furniture was also big enough for all of us to hang out together. Lots of wood for bon fires. Sauna worked great. Lake was clear with a sandy bottom. Caught enough fish for a fish fry. Enjoyed the game room and the bunk room once the beds had been made up. The one draw back was that it did not have air conditioning got warm in there. The lake was quite a walk from the house but was able to drive down to the beach when needed.

Great location and very comfortable

Great place to stay. Comfy beds, great fire pit and lake access. Updated I terikr with detached game room. Very fun. Biting flies near the water, bring a thermocell and it’s no problem. Hot tub was not filled therefore it was unusable otherwise would have given 5 stars.

Disappointed arrival

The property is nice, with a large yard. The cabin is nice, just as the pictures show. It's well stocked with everything you need. There's plenty of things for children to do(game room, board games, and shed full of oudoor toys). We had a few issues, the worst being our forgotten arrival. The listing could state that the 6th bedroom is in a total different building.

Blended family get together

We loved staying here! We had a couple of glitches. Furnace in the game room stopped working after the first night. There’s a gas fireplace that worked. And the sauna didn’t work. Mark tried to get them running to no avail. The furnace and sauna was new so probably had to work out the kinks.Still we would stay there again! The setup is so nice.Mark is really nice and accommodating!

Annual anniversary trip.

The property was very spacious, with lots of very comfortable beds. Perfect for a group or larger family getaway. Huge yard, great dock and lake access although it was cool while we were there so we didn’t partake in any lake activities. The owners have absolutely maximized the home and we could tell they have put in a lot of effort. Maybe not quite as clean as we would have liked, but it was a late season trip for us so I’m sure the house has been busy all summer. And definitely not a mess in the least. Overall a fantastic location and a comfortable home.

A Wonderful Week

Our family enjoyed staying at this property. The cabin was everything we needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the layout of the cabin made it easy to have time together playing games and enjoying the week.
