Nice and quiet

We really enjoyed our stay for the weekend. Wish we could've stayed longer. The cabin was very clean. There is a nice selection of pots and pans and pretty much any other basic kitchen things. The back patio is pretty decent sized. It was nice for relaxing. The bedrooms were cute. The whole cabin gave the feel of being at my grandparent's. The lake was nice. Temp was perfect. The only downside were all of the weeds. Didn't make for a good swimming experience. Overall we really enjoyed our stay! The host was also very prompt with responses to any questions I had. Would Def stay again!

Great July Stay

This is our second summer staying in this little log cabin. We love that it feels secluded down the dirt road. We spent a lot of time on the dock fishing (perfect and prolific for little kids) and brought some floats this year to get out a bit deeper from the weedy shore. We rented a boat from Bertha's Boatworks for a few days and really enjoyed exploring the chain! Cabin is rustic and small but that is what our family looks forward to!

Nostalgic and quiet

The property was in a great location. It was remote and quiet, yet a quick 10 minute trip to town. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the large deck and fishing off the dock. It definitely helped to make countless memories.

Perfect trip up north with family!

Everything about the cabin was fantastic! Great view, good fishing, and great dock to park a pontoon. Parking the trailer to the pontoon was a little tricky but we made it work. We will definitely be back!

Quiet and private with great view

We just spent a week and rotated two of our kids and their families during it. We all had fun and the cabin grew on us. Great views from the deck. We have been coming to the Whitefish Chain for decades and first time on trout. It was nice to "base" in the middle of the chain. We put 212 miles on our boat during the week. Chris was available and responsive. The dock is a little old, but we were glad it was not wobbly with so many grandkids using it. I liked the rustic road in. Neighbors were very friendly and kind and welcoming.

Summer 2023 Family Getaway

We had such a wonderful time and the accommodations were great!! The kids loved how comfortable the beds were and the view was amazing!! It was such a peaceful area and we enjoyed sitting on the deck and having a bonfire and we had rented a boat and the dock was perfect for that. We just loved the personalized gift that we received and it made us feel special and will remind of of our amazing trip!! Thank you again for allowing us to rent your amazing property!!

The Getaway We Needed

The property was clean, private and had beautiful views of Big Trout Lake. Our kids loved fishing, the old board games, and picking raspberries. We were lucky to have access to a pontoon and docking was easy! Swimming off the dock is possible but it’s shallow and weedy (bring floats to get out further). Cabin was well stocked and had rustic charm!

Quiet, relaxing stay

1. The instructions for getting to the property were good, but might have come 2 days earlier so could share clearly. We were greeted by a female bear and cub that seemed very familiar with people, and did not give us any trouble. Beautiful mornings on the deck and on the water. Very much enjoyed our time and saw deer every day. We had everything that we needed for the week in the cabin, and Cross lake is close if you forgot an essential. Thank you for sharing an amazing property.

Perfect family get away

We loved staying at your family cabin. The location was perfect. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock, and watching the Eagle also catch fish. The beds were comfortable, and the layout was great for my family of 4, and my parents. I enjoyed making an Old Fashioned at the bar, and sitting in the living room playing games with my kids. We loved watching the water through the huge window, and enjoyed eating on the deck. After one night my youngest child asked when we could go back. This cabin has a great feel, and perfect location on Trout Lake. We appreciated the bear heads up, as a baby bear was seen close to the road. It was very cool. Lots of fish were caught, and returned to the lake. Thanks for a perfect way to start the summer.

About the host

Hosted by Amy, Joe, Chrissy & Julie

Host profile image
Our Great-grandfather purchased this land long ago to build cabins for his three sons. Our grandparents owned this cabin and now we are the fourth generation of our family entrusted with the piece of Trout Lake history and are excited to offer this freshly refurbished yet very original pristine cabin on the north shore of Big Trout Lake, Mn for your summer enjoyment.

Why they chose this property

Southern views from the north shore of Big Trout (the gem on the Whitefish chain!) equates to extended hours of sunshine! Big Trout is a wonderful recreation lake for swimming, boating, fishing, sailing, kayaking, SUP and more. You are opposite the lake from channel traffic, but if you're a boater the channel to the Whitefish Chain gives access to many lakes, marinas, restaurants and Dairy Queen!

This property boasts an extended dock that reaches past the shallow grade. No drop off here which makes for great swimming and peaceful raft floating.

The knotty pined interior, log cabin is set on a peaceful, pine-lined lot. Enjoy your meals on the round oak dining table, or even better, the newly renovated deck. Bring your food and beverages and the amenities are turn-key - vacation ready!
