OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
The Cabin Scoop: No Surprises Here! Booking means you’ve read the whole shebang & are cool with the rules.

• NEIGHBORS: Yep, that’s us living next door across the creek. We give you all the privacy you need but are ready to swoop in if you need help or even a cup of sugar. If you see any of our other neighbors out and about, say hello. They are all friendly and wonderful!

• ACCESSIBILITY ALERT: Unfortunately, not handicap friendly. There are steps to enter the cabin, narrow hall & doorways, and uneven ground around the property.

• KIDDO DISCLAIMER: Little adventurers are welcome, but infants and toddlers might find it tricky. We’ve got stairs, high decks, bumpy ground, a fiery fire pit, and no baby-proofing gear. There is no fence and an open creek that leads to the bay. Keep those tiny explorers supervised at all times!

• WELL WATER: Our shallow well is great for showers but not for drinking. We provide a complimentary gallon of water but please bring enough water and ice for your stay.

• WINDOW A/C: No central air, but the unit in the living room keeps it chill up front. Nighttime breezes + open windows = comfortable evening temps. Each room is equipped with fans and there is a furnace for those rare, cold summer nights.

• SMILE, YOU’RE ON CAMERA: Two motion-activated BLINK cameras keep an eye out and record short, audio/video clips. One is located on the path that leads to our house. It partially covers the driveway of the cabin. The other camera is located by the dock. By booking this property you acknowledge and accept the presence of these cameras.

• SEASONAL SHENANIGANS: This cabin is a summer fling – only around part of the year. Bookings are gold, so our cancellation policy is firm. Please make sure you understand the policy when booking and grab trip insurance for life’s curveballs -weather, car trouble, colds, or delayed flights!

• NATURE’S WILD PARTY: We can’t tame the weather, bugs, allergies, lake levels, algae blobs, or finicky fish! We fight the pest battle hard, but we are guests in a wooded environment. There are lots of critters in the neighborhood including wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, deer, turtles, loons, eagles and the occasional visit from Yogi Bear. If you are lucky, you will catch the magical glow of fireflies and hear the hooting of our favorite resident, Owl Pacino. If you check out the bay, you may see the biggest beaver this side of the Mississippi, GNAWS!

About the host

Hosted by Brandi

Host profile image
After living in Minneapolis for 20+ years, I made the decision to leave city life behind and settle in the pines. I live here year round, and enjoy every season! I work in Criminal Justice and have three amazing adult sons. I enjoy writing, photography, bird watching, gardening, and being outdoors.

Why they chose this property

• Rural Vibes: The cabin sits off Cross Lake Rd on a quiet, dead end road and is fairly secluded from neighbors. Stay up as late as you like but please keep it to a low roar during quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. 🤗 My neighbors are absolutely wonderful so give them a wave and say hello if you see them out!

• Lake Life: Cross Lake connects to Pokegama Lake via the Snake River. There is over 3000 acres of water fun! Head's up - it is river fed, so water levels and algae blooms are ever-changing. Nature is in charge, so no refunds or discounts if lake conditions or weather prohibit activities.

• Lake Access: While this cabin is not directly on the lake and does not have a lake view, a quick 1-minute stroll gets you to the bay to watch those evening sunsets by the fire. Want to dock a boat? Let us know ahead of time and we will make it happen (small boats only - it's a petite bay)! Pontoon rentals are available down the road. No swimming due to the sometimes pesky algae blooms.

• Pine City Perks: Located just 10 minutes from downtown, you can enjoy local restaurants, bars/breweries, thrift stores, mom and pop shops, parks and the fairgrounds. There is a public beach with free paddleboats and paddleboards. Stop at Walmart/Aldi off I-35 EXIT 169 to stock up on supplies. There are fun events in the summer such as Farmer's Market, art festivals, car shows and the Pine County Fair. If weather puts a damper on outside activities, Grand Casino Hinkley is a 10 minute drive!

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the firepit, gas grill, and screened gazebo surrounded by woods. Firewood is available for $4/bundle.
