The house was amazing. Our group had lots of space, the kitchen was well stocked and the beds were incredibly comfortable.

We surprised my mom with a weekend away for her 80th Birthday and we couldn’t have been more happy with the place we stayed! We all loved the house and location. Kari was very responsive and great to work with! My mom along with the kids all asked if we could make this a yearly trip!

We have stayed in many northern Minnesota lake rentals as a family through the years and this one is hands down the best yet. Gorgeous views from most every room in the house, close to the lake and one of the few houses on the lake with a sandy beach. We enjoyed the beautiful fire pit with lots of seating and plenty of wood to use. Inside all beds were comfy and even comfy pillows which was a plus. Every kitchen gadget you would need along with plenty of dishes and utensils. Owner was very responsive and helpful. AAA rating all around, thanks Kari.

Very nice house with adequate space for our large family. We enjoyed the beautiful fire pit area, large dock & shallow beach. Excellent proximity to town where we played golf, mini golf, ate ice cream, utilized the boat launch & rented jet skis. There were no foosballs for the foosball table which was a bummer for the kids & a lot of pet hair on the living room chairs when we arrived. Other than that, it was great & we'd definitely recommend.

Our family of 9 (6 adults and 3 children) from California and Minnesota had a wonderful week at this perfect home. The beds and linens were so comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with newer pots and pans along with plenty of utensils. We appreciated the air conditioning during the day and the fire pit in the evenings. We highly recommend that you stay at this lake home with a view.

Second summer spending a week at this lovely lakehome. Kitchen was well-equipped and house was clean. Happy to have the shared beach all to ourselves for the week. Had to clean up goose poop every day from the beach and floating mat, but not much can be done about the geese. Saw flocks as big as 35 swimming by!

We love it.

Our 3-generation family spent a week here at the end of June. The check-in process went smoothly and we were able to get into the property without issue. We had an incident with another family showing up during our stay mistakenly thinking they had booked the property for the same days, but the owner was easy to get in touch with and helped us resolve this issue right away. Upon arrival we were disappointed with the cobwebs and dirt on the outdoor furniture, bird poop all over the dock, a bathroom that appeared not to have been cleaned, and a downstairs sink that poured water onto the floor because it wasn't connected. We cleaned these things up ourselves and then had a great week at the lake. The location is perfect and the views are beautiful. The "large sandy beach" was not quite as advertised and the shoreline was very weedy (there was a weed roller there but didn't seem to have been used recently) but the dock was sufficient to tie up a pontoon and speed boat and we enjoyed kayaking around the bay. The kitchen and bathrooms were well-equipped but much of the indoor furniture and beds were pretty low quality- tears in the leather couches, wobbly dining chairs, squeaky beds specifically. This review probably sounds nitpicky but for the cost we felt like these things would have been more attended to. Overall we would definitely recommend the property but a few minor fixes and updates would make the place perfect!

My 7 buddies, friends for over 35 years, and I could not have chosen a better place to stay for our golf weekend. The home is so well designed that 8 adults never felt crowded and yet it has a cozy feel to it. Kitchen was well appointed for the chef in our group and the fire pit was an A+. We will be back, if they'll have us.

This property is absolutely beautiful and perfect for large family or friend gatherings. We had 4 families stay here (total of 16 people), with kids ranging from ages 2 to 9. The kids loved the “bunkhouse” sleeping area, movie nights and playing in the basement, and direct access to the lake for ice fishing. The basement is also great for the adults to play cards/games at night after the kids have gone to bed, as sound does travel pretty easily from the main level to the upstairs. The only bummer was that the ice skating area was not cleared off, but with the amount of snow that we have had this year, it was understandable. Highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous location in Minnesota. Great fishing for the boys! Ladies enjoyed the arts and shopping scene in Crosslake and Nisswa. Foosball and games were well enjoyed

This was our second stay at this home. Perfect for our early Thanksgiving family gathering. The sunset views by the fire pit are some of our favorite things about this home. Everything was clean and as described. A very lovely place to stay!

We loved staying at this property! The house is beautiful, modern, comfortable and clean. It has a great basement for teens to hangout in. We enjoyed using the fire pit in the backyard in the evenings. This property is close to Cross Lake. Some of us enjoyed trail biking and others enjoyed shopping. Kari was an efficient and quick communicator. We would highly recommend this house for your next getaway.

House was perfect for our group! We loved the view and had everything we needed for a great weekend!

We have stayed at this property over four times now. Lots of room for everyone! Beautiful lake and sunsets. Perfect time away from the craziness of home. We love having two fridges for all our beverages and the kitchen has many useful tools and even a crockpot for perfect fall meals. We will be back again!

Had a great stay on Crosslake! The cabin is very spacious and great outdoor area - out delivered our expectations and would highly recommend!

Plenty of space for the 12 of us to spread out. Nice location with large patio and easy access to the Whitefish Chain.

My wife and I have 8 kids ranging from 6 months to 11 years old. The swimming is great with the sandy bottom. We brought up a pontoon which was difficult to manage with the tight tree line going into the way properties are set up in this part of Minnesota, but doable. The neighbors are great with young kids too. The lodging is more than we need and nicer than we need which is why we booked again...second time being at this property. The cooking set up is hard to complain about with the many pots, dishes, utensils, etc. The kids fished and caught right off the dock in late June. We were able to secure the pontoon to the dock which made for easy "quick" trips around the lakes. Brainerd has more things to do with kids (we've stayed in both areas) versus Crosslake area but the putt-putt golf and museums around Crosslake were fine for us. The town of Emily to the northeast has a nice little bait shop. Besides it being a 9 hour drive from here in Nebraska....I have no complaints.

The house layout works well for our large family and is clean, fairly new and nicely decorated. The location is not too far for us to drive and the dock and beach area are great for our needs. The owners were very reachable when we needed them. We will be back!

Overall, a great experience!

We did a quick weekend trip with couples and had a great time here. Plenty of sleeping options would be really good for families as well. Took advantage of the ping pong table, fire pit area, and outdoor dining. Great views and a good yard area for lawn games as well. Very clean and well kept. Excellent communication with the owners.

It was a fun filled weekend getaway up north!

This beautiful house was going to be our family Christmas celebration and changed to March because of a COVID outbreak. The host was accommodating in helping make the change. We had a fun time and enjoyed the large lower level game area. It was very clean and had a well-equipped. The beds and pillows were perfect.

Great place to stay. Very accommodating for a large group.

Not the ideal situation for snowmobiling, but other than that it's a great property. You won't find many places with as many beds. If you have multiple families of kids you could get 8-10 kids in the attic room alone and still have all the other bedrooms. Tons of room in the basement too.

This house was a wonderful winter weekend getaway for our family!!! We were bummed that there was no skating rink (as pictured in the photos) but it was probably due to the amount of snow! We were able to find a local community center outdoor rink which as great! Great communication with the owners! Our family couldn’t get over how comfy the sheets were! The place was so clean and had everything we could have anticipated for! So much fun! Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend in this beautiful home near Crosslake in February. The only little hiccup was the cleaning service had the day wrong and it wasn't clean when we arrived. But the owners were more than helpful, and the cleaners came during our dinner out with a nice apologetic note. Completely cleaned when we got back, comfy beds for all 14 of us women and plenty of space to relax and have conversations. I'd highly recommend this home for a family or friends gathering. It looks to be even better in the summer with the firepit and just steps to the lake. Thanks for sharing your beautiful lake home with us! Gina B

Had the most wonderful time at Crosslake. The cabin was perfect for my family and I’s winter vacation up north. Kari’s place was impeccably clean and amazing. Definitely plan on returning!!!!

Tons of space! Super comfy!

The Crosslake home was very beautiful and for the most part was very family friendly for our winter weekend getaway!

We enjoyed this property in early November, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful sunsets over the lake every night - can only imagine how much fun this home would be in the summer. Plenty of room for large groups. Host was very communicative and helpful. We would gladly stay again!

Had a wonderful stay with friends and their children. There were 3 families, we had more than enough beds and plenty of space to spread out. The beds were so comfortable. The location is peaceful but with access to the chain of lakes. The beach area was perfect. The kids spent all their time swimming, playing in the sand, and using the swim pad. Greatly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return with my extended family!
