Comfortable cabin
The cabin was clean & comfortable. The area was so pretty. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked including a variety of spices. The lake was clean & clear. And surprisingly quiet. The lily pad was a hit. The pontoon so lovely. Nearly every cast off the dock produced a sunny or a perch which thrilled our 6 y o grandson & kept his daddy busy…when he wasn’t untangling the 4 y o’s line! Exactly as listed. Would recommend. Thanks Chris!

Stay at Lake O'Brien
We enjoyed our short stay! Accommodations are very nice, comfy furniture, great TV for watching the U.S. Open Tennis! Well-equipped kitchen. Beautiful view, night sky magnificent and breathtaking. We relished the cozy, quiet retreat. Loved watching the pair of loons. Chris was very prompt and friendly in responding to any questions. Would definitely return.

Birthday get away
We enjoyed the cabin and the area. The cabin was comfortable and had everything we could possibly need for our stay, actually more amenities than most other rental properties we have stayed in. A big plus was the pontoon. It was a very nice boat for it being a rental. Fishing on the lake was good, all varieties of fish. Campfires at night were a nice relaxing end to each day. Crosslake was a cute little town that was was only a few minutes away. The large grocery store was a plus as well as cute shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay on O'Brien Lake. The kids and dogs enjoyed swimming and snorkeling in the clear water, and playing on the Lilly Pad right at the dock. Caught a couple nice fish on the lake. Great stay!

We had a wonderful week at your cabin. We had beautiful weather so we enjoyed taking the pontoon out on the lake, floating in the water, going for walks and sitting on the deck looking at the lake. We will definitely be coming back!

Great cabin
The cabin was clean and fit our families needs. We had a blast on the pontoon and Chris was very responsive with any questions we had. The lake was a bit weedier than we would have liked so we swam off the pontoon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday stay on Lake O’Brien. Weather was amazing, and the pontoon boat availability was a huge bonus. Our son loved the paddleboard and we capped off each evening with a great campfire. Thank you Chris and Steve!

Pure Bliss
I can't say enough nice things about our experience renting this lovely home from Chris. I was an early adopter of VRBO, and have been renting places 3-4 times a year for the last 15 years, and this was one of the easiest and most relaxing experiences I've had yet. The house was PERFECTLY equipped with everything you'd need, the beds were super comfortable, the seating areas were great, the outdoor toys/ boat/paddleboard were FANTASTIC, the views stunning, the deck was amazing, the lake was sandy. In short, it was perfect. Also, a quick shout out to Crow Wing Rentals if you want an extra paddleboard or a kayak as we did. Super easy!

A perfect getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay! The lake was so peaceful, and we were surprised by how quiet it was. The bunk bed room on the lower level was great for our three kids, and we loved having the windows open to hear the loons at night and early in the morning. The lake was calm, warm and great for fishing, and made even better by having access to the pontoon, lilly pad, and the paddle board. Chris also made everything so easy with his communication! Thanks for an amazing stay!

Pontoon included is EVERYTHING!
My family enjoyed our stay at Chris' cabin. It was just as described. We couldn't get over how close it was to the water. Literally steps away. We spent our days boating on the pontoon, relaxing on the deck, playing in the sandbar on the lake, and spending quality time as a family. The cabin itself has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. I really appreciated having spices, oil, paper towels, toilet paper, saran wrap, tinfoil, and plastic baggies. That normally doesn't come with a rental! It helped on the packing for sure. My kids LOVED the lily pad and fishing off the dock. The only downfall to this cabin is there is only one bathroom. Chris lists this in the description but there were times when we could have used two for sure. Besides that, we absolutely loved our stay and will be back for sure!
