About this cottage rental

Welcome to Birch Narrows Cottage! Our family bought this charming cabin on Daggett Lake in June of 2020 and made several updates while maintaining that up north cabin feel. There is new flooring throughout the cabin, brand new comfortable furniture, freshly painted walls, the kitchen completely redone with new countertops and brand new appliances. During the winter months we have 3 bedrooms and 1 bath in the main cabin. From April 1st through October we also have a beautiful guest cabin. See description of the guest cabin below.

We have 3 Bedrooms on 1 level. There are two Queen Suites that are both lakeside with unbelievable views. The 3rd BR is a bunk room with full sized beds up and down. The kids will love the bunk room! We also have two queen sleeper sofas, one in the living room and one in the oversized master bedroom for younger kids if they want to be in mom and dad’s room!

The views of the lake are just beautiful from each of the Queen Suites and from the living room. Cozy up in front of the gas fireplace in the living room, enjoy a game of cribbage at the family style dining table, or get lost in a good book.

There is a 2018 Bennington Pontoon SLX Premium at the property with a 115hp motor (21 feet) for additional rent if you wish to cruise the chain of lakes or go to dinner at one of the 4 water accessible restaurants (The Wharf on Rush Lake, Zorbaz on Crosslake, Moonlite Bay on Crosslake or Manhattan Beach Lodge on Big Trout Lake) or just do some fishing with the kids. We also have 4 SUP's (2 adult, 2 Junior), and 2 kayaks for your use.

New in 2021 was a completely renovated bathroom in the main cabin with a new vanity, new tile throughout and a large walk-in shower.

We are also very excited to have finished our guest cabin in May 2021 which completed our property. We built a 350 sq foot guest cabin for our guests, or a place to put the kids during your stay. In the guest cabin you will find beautiful oversized windows with some lake views, but more importantly a large bunk system with 2 queen beds on the bottom and 2 full sized beds on top. The guest cabin also has its own 3/4 bath. We expect to have families of 4-6 sleep very comfortably in the guest cabin, or have it be a great clubhouse for the kids during the stay. It has a mini split for air conditioning or heat depending on the season! Our guest cabin will NOT be available for rent from November 1st- March 31st 2023 (3-season use only).

There is a Weber Genesis 4-burner grill for your enjoyment. Fire pit with wood included also on property!

Let our up north getaway be your oasis from the stresses of life! The beautiful trees, proximity to Crosslake (2.7 miles) and full access to the Whitefish Chain of Lakes.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the property exactly as described and Jason, the owner, a pleasure to work with and extremely responsive and genuinely interested. Everything in the house worked fine and the location was great - quiet part of the lakes in front of the house and easy access to the busier lakes for cruising around. We'll be back to stay!

Great property for a large family or group. We really enjoyed the lake! The close proximity to Crosslake was great for a grocery run, there is also a wonderful playground which our littles enjoyed. Communication with the hosts was amazing!

The lake home and guest house were perfect for our family. The outside seating on the deck was a favorite of ours every morning and evening. We rented the pontoon and really enjoyed the lake. We used the kayaks one night and wish we would have used them more, but just having them as an option was great. There was a nice selection of games, puzzles and DVD’s. The only drawback was that we didn’t stay longer. Our Texas family had a first time MN up north experience that will forever stay a top memory! It was an awesome place. There was sufficient kitchen items…and plenty of toilet paper and paper towels. That may seem trite but we have stayed at some places that barely have one role each. :)

We enjoyed our stay at Birch Narrows! Kids loved fishing from the dock & swimming. Beautiful location, the furniture on the deck was so comfortable. The large kitchen was great for making meals. We also enjoyed playing Kubb in the backyard. The little cabin was great….plenty of room.

We had a wonderful time at the lake over the Fourth of July! Jason made sure we had everything we needed and the process was very smooth from booking to check out. We loved staying on Daggott (previously stayed on Cross and Trout) and enjoyed the quiet lake and neighborhood for morning walks. Plenty of space to gather with family for meals and great open concept kitchen/living area. Thanks for a great stay!!
