About this property
Charming 3-bedroom Cabin on Lake O'Brien with Pontoon Boat
If you are a lover of vintage Minnesota cabins, your search is over! This beautiful cabin has been completely remodeled and includes modern amenities; however, retains all of the cabin charm that is lost in so many new cabins. The cabin was originally built in the 1960's by my grandma's sister and has been in our family since. My wife and I purchased the cabin and completely remodeled it in 2024. The modern kitchen, cozy sitting area around the wood fireplace, and living room all flow to a lakeside deck that is great for taking in the lake, which is just 50' away. Or if you want to be closer to the water, there is an over water deck with firepit that is the perfect spot for a cup of coffee or a cold drink in the evening!! The cabin features a main level master suite with tile shower, as well as two bedrooms upstairs, with the lakeside bedroom featuring a balcony. A second main level bath featuring a tile shower as well can easily be used by the upstairs guests. The rental comes complete with a pontoon boat (2024 Bennington) as well as an aluminum canoe. For those that struggle to disconnect, there is a smart TV in the living room with local cable, as well as Fiber Optic Wi-Fi. And you won't be roughing it, as the 2024 renovation also brought all new mechanical systems including air conditioning, new appliances and a new Kinetico water system.
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 any other 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.
Our property is perfect for a family of up to 6 or a couples retreat. We do keep our calendar updated and so if you are seeing availability then it is available. Upon reservation confirmation you'll receive a complete 'what to bring' list so you are prepared for your time up north. 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!!
The pontoon boat is typically in the water and available for use from mid-May to late September.
