We travelled from the Duluth area in 4 veh

Overall we had a great time. A few things needing attention. Shoveling…almost non-existent to get to the door with the lock box. The youngest ended up practically crawling up the steps as it wasn’t shoveled very well and VERY icy. One in our party fell on the driveway it was so icy as well as going into the downstairs doorway extremely icy. Leaving some ice bite for renters would of been extremely helpful. The Netflix account kept kicking us out of movies and saying there wasn’t enough storage and to delete some apps. But overall we had a great time with the time spent together.

Amazing, large house with 4 bedrooms (5th bedroom was also nice but above detached garage). Josh was awesome to deal with answering questions along the way. Heated garage was nice as the weekend we stayed overnight temps dropped to -20deg F. We didn’t cook at the house but was well stocked with kitchen supplies. Location was off the beaten path and was near the end of a quiet cult-de-sec. Our group liked the property enough that we talked about coming back in the summer or again next winter.

Overall the stay was great. The house had a lot of space and was a nice way for all of us to be together, yet we could split up into smaller groups. A few light bulbs were burned out and some food items from previous guests were still there. Location was beautiful and the extra snow added a nice winter touch. Some Christmas decorations including a tree really helped make it feel perfect for our groups Christmas. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for meals and there were plenty of blankets, towels etc. We had brought a few board games, but the kids enjoyed the wide variety there. Thank you for sharing your home!

Great spaces! My wife and I have to adult children and two grandchildren. My daughter, son in-law took the area over garage, other daughter took the basement and we still had empty bedrooms. It was very quiet being off the main lakes. The one down side if you bring a boat is the shallow channel to get out to the main lakes and not a good swimming area at the property. We just boated to the sand bars and hung out there.

Very nice & updated house with plenty of separate space for grandparents + 3 sets of adult siblings with young kids (4 yrs to 2 months). Dock/house fully accessible by boat, although very slow with lots of weed beds. Beach and dock area are nice, but not much for swimming with aforementioned weeds. The on-site grill & smoker as well as several left behind toys, games, and kitchen essentials were all great bonuses to enjoy. Overall a great family trip and looking forward to returning.

We enjoyed our stay and loved spending time on the outside deck. The gas fire table on the deck made it easy to enjoy a nice fire. There was plenty of living space to spread out and the sleeping options for our group of 8 adults was perfect. The main lakes were easy to get to and we enjoyed swimming and stopping at the restaurants on them. My only suggestion would be to add handrails on the staircases going up and down in the house and the staircase carpeting could use a shampoo.

Everyone in the family enjoyed our annual vacation. The place was beautiful and had plenty of room for everyone.

Property owner very responsive. Appreciated pontoon rental. Thanks for a great vacation!

We had a great stay on Crosslake! The Rose rental had everything we needed as a family! The bedrooms were spacious! The extra kitchen areas were great for cooking with a large group! The deck had enough room for all of us to be outside! With an awesome view! The kitchen was stocked with enough pots, pans and dishes! So a wonderful place for a family getaway! Joshua answered all my messages within a short time! The place was immaculate! Highly recommend this VRBO!

Our family enjoyed staying at the havilah house this June. Plenty of room for all of us to have our own space. Nice quiet bay!

We really enjoyed staying here for a week over Memorial Day. Lots to do, rain or shine! The house was great and spacious for us 7 adults. The bay is nice and calm, even on windier days. We had a large pontoon and had no trouble going under the bridge or trolling to the dock. If we do come back to the area, we’d definitely love to stay here again!

This property was perfect for family's girl's weekend. Plenty of room for 13 of us to be together in one space, but enough private areas to hang out in smaller groups as well. The different bedroom areas were nice as well, so those who wanted to sleep in could do so without being disturbed by the early birds. My only suggestion for the property would be a little more attention spent on winter maintenance. Access to the lower level entrance door (the easiest access from the parking area) and the the steps to the main entrance were very icy and it was a challenge to safely cross - especially for our elderly mom. We also lost the use of one bedroom for our second night due to an ice dam on the roof causing a leak in the ceiling - causing the parts of the ceiling texture to come down. I was able to quickly get in touch with Josh, the property manager, and sent him pictures of what was happening. He sent out someone to look at it right away, but there was nothing that could be done at the time that would leave us comfortable having anyone sleep in that room. Thankfully there was plenty of couch space to make up for the lost bedroom, but removal of excess snow from the roof or warming coils could have alleviated this problem. Even with this little hiccup, the house worked well for our family and we had a great time catching up with each other. Josh was easy to reach with my questions and concerns and I appreciate that.

Property manager/owner was great to work with. We were allowed a later check-out, hard to be out by 10am. Easy check-in. Very spacious lots of bedrooms and hangout areas. The main house is updated nicely and has great beds. Easy access to the lake for snowmobiling. Nice big garage to use. The bed's above the garage and in the basement apartment are not meant for adults. I did inquire about the beds beforehand and was warned that those ones are older. We were very horrified to find mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers in the main house. We did disinfect the drawers and everything in them but from there on out felt like we needed to disinfect everything before using. We are not ok with mice in the house. I would not rent again due to this problem.

We really enjoyed our stay. We had a relaxing weekend, mostly spent inside due to negative temps. Basement was a little cold. We bumped the heat up a few degrees but didn’t want it to get too hot upstairs. Not a big deal, but an electric heater/fireplace downstairs would be a good addition. Only other minor complaint was very thin toilet paper. Easy fix that would do wonders for all guests. Overall, this place is top notch. We were there in the dead of winter so can’t speak to the lakeshore or outdoor space. We drove a short distance to the Crosslake public access to do some ice fishing. There’s a small bridge with open water that prevented us from taking the snowmobiles through the bay and onto Rush Lake & Lower Whitefish. Josh, the owner, was excellent to work with. Highly recommend booking.

We had a wonderful stay Joshua was very easy to work with. We will be back.

We had an awesome Thanksgiving with our extended family at this beautiful home. The layout was perfect for our group and provided many private places for people to sleep. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more. The multiple refrigerators and ovens were perfect for cooking dinner. The home is beautifully decorated and very warm and comfortable. Joshua was very responsive to all my questions and made the process so smooth and easy. Thanks Josh for sharing your home with us!

The house was beautiful, and stocked with a lot of things you would have at home. We didn’t even use the extra supplies we brought. Outdoor relaxing area is just beautiful and perfect. Would definitely recommend for a large or extended family vacation!!!

easy online process to book, place was clean and as described. the setting there was wonderful, we went during the fall months. we enjoyed the big space, fire pits and fire place.. atv trails are nearby. looking forward to another stay.

Great property with access to the w Whitefish chain of lakes. Cabin was clean and well stocked.

We like the location of the property minus the narrow, shallow channel under a bridge that you must take takw yuuuget the money the chain of lakes. This property is laid out nicely for 2 to 3 families to share!

My family and I enjoyed staying here. The cabin was clean, modern and full of comfortable furniture and furnishings, games and kitchen items. We really liked the gas and the fire pits, grills, yard for our family bags tournament and access to a dock for our boat.

We first reserved this home with the previous owners. I was nervous we'd have issues when they sold, but Josh was great to work with. Communication through the ownership change and throughout our stay was excellent. The only issue we had during the stay was running out of propone for the fire pit on the deck. We sent Josh a text and had a new cylinder in the morning. The house was clean and we'll stocked. It worked really well for our family that ranged from grandparents to 4 children between 3 and 6. The kids loved playing in the water by the dock, playing in the sandbars on the lake, and really loved taking the boat to some of the restaurants on the lake. The only challenge with this house is that it is on a very isolated bay off Rush Lake. That isolation was great for a quiet and peaceful stay. It was also a little challenging to get the rented pontoon through the narrow channel into the bay. Just be patient and take it slow and it's not a problem, none of us drive a boat more than once a year and we didn't have any issues. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great, peaceful stay.

We enjoyed the home, separate living quarters for our children was definitely a plus. Our evenings were spent on the spacious deck with the awesome fire table. We have shared our experience with others that express interest. Thank you for sharing your home! The Ward’s

would go back

Combination of four families (11); thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Off the beaten path of a very busy waterway; provided peace and quiet and easy access to fishing and water sports. The five bedrooms along with two living spaces and large deck provided amble opportunity to gather or spread out as wanted. We are planning on returning in July 2022. Joshua was readily available for any concerns we had.
