**When you are making a reservation request please leave us a note about your plans for your stay so we can make sure it is a good fit for you.

Looking for a great place for a family vacation, weekend getaway, or just don't want to stay in a hotel? Look no further! Situated on 300 feet of lakeshore. This level lot has a sugar sand bottom and crystal clear water. Kristoferson Park is 1 block away. They have a great playground, pavilion, hockey rink, volleyball, and baseball fields. About 10-15 minutes to championship golf (Madden's, Grand View and Cragun's).

Close to town!! Top notch dining, grocery shopping, boutique shopping, and the Paul Bunyan bike trail are all within 5 minutes, this is the perfect location for your next vacation! Cub Foods, Costco, and Walmart are only 2 miles away.

This beautiful lake home is remodeled and has a walkout lower level opening up to a flat yard overlooking the lake. The master bedroom has a king size bed. Bedroom #2 has 1 queen bed, 1 twin bed. Bedroom #3 is downstairs with beautiful views of the lake on the walkout level and has a queen bed. Bedroom #4 is downstairs with a queen bed and twin bed.

Sleeps 8 comfortably, sleeps up to 10 with the idea that children are a part of your group.

**THIS IS NOT A GOOD SETUP FOR MORE THAN 8 ADULTS AS IT WILL BE CRAMPED FOR BOTH SLEEPING AND IN OTHER AREAS**

We do not allow bachelor parties, bachelorette parties, or any type of large gathering or events. We are in a neighborhood and want to respect them.

Amenities include: 4 flat-screen TVs (Cable TV in the living room & Roku TV for streaming channels in the master bedroom, basement, and basement bedroom), Wi-Fi internet, 3 full baths – 1 tub/shower and 1 shower upstairs, 1 shower downstairs, upper and lower level family rooms, dining table, dock, GAS grill, and bonfire pit.

2 kayaks, paddle boat, and outdoor toys are available for guests to use free of charge.

There is a campfire pit in the yard by the lake. Firewood is available for your convenience if you wish for a fee of $5 per day of use to cover the cost of the wood.

We highly encourage staying 3 nights or more to get a chance to enjoy the area amenities, but you can stay as few as 2 nights (Oct - May) or as few as 3 nights (June - August).

Rates are based on 6 guests. We charge a modest fee of $2 per guest per night above 6 guests that covers the additional linens, cleaning, and utilities that more guests require.

Nice place to stay
The home was clean and was more than adequately stocked with dishes/bowls, small appliances, towels etc. The sandy beach was nice and the lake was very clean. The hosts were very quick to respond to any of our questions. We would stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house has everything we need for our time there. It's very comfortable and plenty of room for all of us. We look forward to our next stay there. The host checked in with us when we arrived to make sure we were comfortable and asked if we had any questions.

Awesome home on the lake.
We really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect size for our group. Had all the amenities we needed. Table had an extension and extra chair as so we could all sit around the table and play games. We were able to ice fish on the lake for the the ice fishing tournament so it was perfect.

Perfect house for family gatherings.
Wish I could give more stars! This cabin was perfect for our family to meet in a central location. The place was clean, tidy and probably the best VRBO we have rented. Would stay again … hopefully in the summer next time.

Very, very nice home.
This is a very, very nice home. Extremely comfortable furniture, especially the beds. A plethora of dishes and utensils for baking, cooking, and serving. Bathrooms are fully stocked, and nice hot showers. Beautiful lake shore, yard and view with a wide array of chairs and tables to comfortably enjoy. First time our group has VRBOed, and we were very pleased with our choice.

Stunning view.
With the open floor plan, larger table and plenty of sleeping space, it made our weekend stay enjoyable. The view of the lake was stunning. Beach looked nice, it rained so we didn’t enjoy that like we wouldn’t wanted to, but all was wonderful!

Great girls’ weekend
We really enjoyed our stay (Sept 29- Oct 1). The weather was cooler than expected Friday and Saturday but that didn’t stop our enjoyment! We had a beautiful sunset Friday night before it started to rain. Saturday was cool and cloudy but we had fun sightseeing around Brainerd/Baxter. The house worked really well for the 7 of us and we said we would definitely return. Thanks for a great time!

Great home and location!
This is the perfected sized home on a beautiful lake with crystal clear water. We stayed here for only 2 nights while we attended a wedding in Brainerd. So unfortunately we didnt have time to really enjoy the lake life. House was super clean. Good size overall. Fantastic location. Only feedback was that the basement had a slight sweaty/musty smell. We did run the dehumidifier while we there and opened the windows which helped. The dehumidifier canister needs a good soaking which may help with the smell. Overall not a big deal. Would stay here again when we have time to relax and rent the pontoon boat!

About the host

Hosted by B & M

Host profile image
We have 2 children and enjoy getting away and experiencing what the area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Less than 2 hours from the Twin Cities made this a great location for us. After purchasing the house we completely remodeled it to bring it up to date and make it more enjoyable.

What makes this property unique

We love the large flat yard and the sandy shoreline. There is plenty of room for activities, not your typical cramped cabin lot. Up north cabin feel, but close to town for shopping & activities. Plenty to do for everybody nearby.
