Situated 5 miles east of the town of Crosslake, crystal clear Lake O'Brien is spring fed with a water clarity of 24', the cleanest lake in the entire watershed district. The lake itself is surrounded by mature pines. There is approximately 5 miles of shoreline, of which about a quarter of the lake is undeveloped state owned property. During the summer, this recreational lake is perfect for fishing, skiing, wake boarding canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and all water based activities, including floating on an air mattress!! There is a sandbar where you can walk across the lake which is a favorite gathering spot for 'kids of all ages'!! It's location on a quiet tar township road make it perfect for a morning walk or bike ride. During the winter months the lake is perfect for ice fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and is a perfect base camp to access the endless miles of groomed snowmobile trails.

Feel free to inquire with any questions you may have and we’ll be prompt to reply! We pride ourselves on keeping our property and structures/equipment pristine and are certain we'll exceed your expectations in that regard. And further, since we also live on this lake, should any questions or problems arise we can respond quickly. In fact, your only disappointment will be when you have to leave!!

We rent a cabin for a week every summer in the Brainerd lake area. Our requirements are they have to have a pontoon and allow pets! These places are not easy to find, but we did find a little piece of heave. It is a beautiful cabin, nice pontoon and a great place for dogs… I couldn’t ask for more!

We stayed a week at this house in mid-August. It was perfect for two families (4 adults and 4 children) - and we easily could have invited more people. Communication was super easy around check-in and what to expect during our stay. We brought our own pool/lake floats, and that was a really good addition. I wouldn't expect a house to come with these, but I would recommend them to anyone planning to stay. The kitchen had all the items we would need to host family gatherings. The house supposedly came with a Sonos system, but I didn't find one and couldn't connect to one via wifi? But we brought a portable speaker, so we didn't have a problem. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful cabin that was a joy to stay at. Our family had a great trip and had a lot of fun fishing and playing with the little ones at the cabin’s beach area. I would recommend if someone is traveling with little ones, to bring a baby gate as the staircase to lower level is steep. We hope to be back soon!

This was our 2nd stay at Matt & Renae’s priorities. Their properties are excellent and the area is great. The cabin gives you an up North feel but close to town for easy groceries or restaurants. I highly recommend their properties!!

Our Christmas gift to our adult children, their spouses and new in-laws last year was the gift of spending time together.
We rented the cabin Memorial Weekend and had 10 adults ranging from 21 to 85 yrs old. We also had 2 dogs.
The cabin never felt crowded and had a really cozy feel. We spent most of our day playing yard games, fishing and cruising on the pontoon. The evenings consisted of large dinners and cocktails around the large fire pit.
The owners were most welcoming and answered any questions we had. They also understood how special it was we could bring our furry family members. They treated us with kindness and respect. I hope we will be able to rent again in the future.
Our children said it was the best gift they ever received. Memories of time spent together are priceless!

This is our 2nd stay at Sunset Haus and we will be returning this fall. This rental home is like living in the pages of MN Cabins magazine! Lake O'Brien is a quiet, peaceful lake without the water traffic on the Whitefish Chain. If you are considering renting this cabin, I would not hesitate as everything is as advertised and the owners are wonderful. Peaceful, relaxing location but still close to groceries, restaurants, trails and many things to do in Crosslake/Brainerd area. Highly recommend -- 5 stars all the way!!!!!

Beautiful cabin and location. We went as a family and had such a relaxing time. Just played games, listened to the loons and other birds, did a little fishing and pontoon-ing. The cabin owners communicated with us well, everything was clean and comfortable. Just had a great time. Highly recommend!

My wife found this as a place to stay for her 50th Birthday. We have our amazing cabin, but always love to rent a few others through out the year for something different. Far more relaxing with no projects. This place was beyond amazing and we really enjoyed the rainy spring weekend to just relax with family. We would certainly rent form this amazing host again!

The house was spacious, clean, and had many amenities. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit every day. The lake was a peaceful setting, and our kids loved wandering around the grounds. The owners were responsive and easy to work with. We would definitely come back!

When looking for a place to stay for the family and friends for a weekend choose this place. BEAUTIFUL! Clean, stocked, and very spacious yet cozy. With 14 adults it never felt overwhelming as there are plenty of spaces to use. I would highly recommended this place may even plan another getaway there someday!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sunset Haus. The cabin is absolutely beautiful! It was everything we were hoping for, for a long weekend away. The kids' favorite part was the bunk/family room downstair. It was super cozy and a great place for them to hang out and relax. We would love to go back again sometime!

My family (brother, sister and their kids) rented this cabin for a long weekend to relax, play games, and just spend time together. There is not a single thing we would change about this cabin. It was perfect for multiple families to have their own spaces with a private bathroom for each. It was nice to have main floor bedroom options for people who can't do stairs. The bunk area was fantastic. All of the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the extra throw blankets to be cozy while watching movies - and the puzzles/games were nice to have. The kitchen was perfectly appointed - we forgot a crockpot and found there was one there. The cleanliness of the entire cabin was impeccable, which was important to us. It was winter but we still enjoyed the peace outside, and sitting around the fire pit. Finally, the owners were so kind and responsive. Everything about our stay was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. It was a dream stay.

This cabin was the perfect setup for a relaxing winter weekend with friends. We had more than enough space with 4 adults and 4 kids. It was awesome to have separate spaces for us all to play games, watch movies, and sleep in. The kids loved the bunk beds with large tv downstairs. The adults enjoyed time relaxing upstairs by the fireplace. We especially appreciated the large supply of firewood for the cold MN weekend. The cabin was more beautiful in real life than the pictures could convey. A lovely place to stay and we all hope to return.

We loved the property and wish we could use it in the summer as well. We had a great time and 13 adults stayed with plenty of room for everyone. the nice big kitchen table was adaptable for playing games as a group. We really enjoyed the home.

Had a great time in the Minnesota North with friends midweek. Fireplace was great. We all had our own bathrooms. Property is in excellent condition, and right on the lake, great for ice fishing. Interior is furnished tastefully and comfortably. Beautiful area.

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place for a family holiday get-away! Perfect blend of a rustic cabin with modern convenience. High end finishes and excellent craftsmanship in the construction. Plenty of space but also a cozy home away from home. Hosts were polite, professional, and accommodating!

My friends and I stayed here in November and loved it! The cabin itself is super cool and the fire pit is huge. We skipped going out one night and stayed in simply because it’s such a fun place to be. I’ll be staying here again without a doubt

When you think “cabin on the lake” this place is it! My husband kept walking around saying “it’s perfect” and he was so right. The design and details they put into this cabin make it so warm and inviting. Each bedroom was perfect for each couple staying with us… giving us all our own bathrooms! The main living room was comfortable and cozy. The perfect getaway for laughter and relaxation. The hosts were great and so incredibly helpful with any questions we had. We will definitely be coming back to this cabin in the future!

This cabin has it all! A bathroom for every bedroom made it so nice! All the amenities are top notch... from well stocked kitchen, grill, fire pit with 8 comfortable Adirondack chairs, sand beach, dock and pontoon to the great entertainment system. Plenty of firewood and starters, cozy blankets, and everything we needed for a great up north stay!! Loved the cabin decor. Wonderful place to experience!!

This cabinet is exactly what you would want for your first experience. Starting with the host being an excellent communicator. I recommend this for any family that wants a beautiful cabin and a great area. Can’t wait to visit next year if possible! By the way, the boat was epic!

Sunset Haus had everything you could ever want, spacious areas throughout, clean and comfortable. Porch and fire pit were amazing and having the pontoon for fishing and boating complemented the overall “at the lake” experience. Could use a few handrails for the older folk but definitely recommend

Our family of five had a wonderful time enjoying this beautiful rental! The lake had a ton of fish, the sandy beach was fabulous, the pontoon rides were awesome, the fire pit and patio area were top notch! We saw loons, eagles, a beaver and lots of dragonflies at this O’Brien Lake cabin. We also loved the basement family room space with the HUGE television and bunk room as well as listening to the Sonia music system out on the screened in porch. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great escape up north!
5.0 / 5.0
Fishing was great! The cabin continues to deliver a high quality family holiday weekend, where memories continue to be made. All the amenities you need in this cabin, and if you anything Renee is very accommodating. We sprayed for ticks and mosquitoes when we arrived, makes for a much more pleasant experience around the fire. We had S’more nightly with the kids, then sent them off to bed and enjoyed a relaxing night, with whiskey and wine in hand around the fire. The weather was the best we’ve had in our 5-years staying on Lake O’Brien. The cabin deliveries a very fun place! The pontoon is a great addition and keeps us coming back. Loons, Eagles, clear water, a wonderful Memorial weekend! Matt & Renee are great hosts!
