Fantastic
Perfect spot for family reunion. Multiple bedrooms including the airy treehouse and the cozy extra room in the big garage space. We didn’t use that room as had no need but all agreed would be quite comfortable. Showers were good. Kitchen well stocked including s’mores ingredients for the campfire spot by the lake Plenty of room on deck and in living room. We were a party of two grandparents, six adults, a 4 year old, 2 year old and 1 year old. We rented a pontoon nearby and docked on the little beach area. Perfect beach for little ones as very shallow and sandy. They loved it. Great place. Would love to return next year..

We had a great time! Nice and clean! Great areas on property for our family to gather and make memories. Only disappointment was the bedroom in the garage was not stated that way and a couple of the bedrooms were tiny.

Girls Weekends
Stayed here for a weekend with the girls! I’m not sure if it’s in the listing but I wasn’t aware that two of the beds are attached to the garage and didnt have AC. We had girls sleeping on the couch inside because it was really hot and just having a fan did not help. The beach area is nice but if you swim out it gets pretty swampy. It’s a nice quiet area and close to town.

We loved the garage and outdoor spaces - and the peace and quiet was just what we we looking for. It was very clean and had several nice welcoming touches. We would definitely love to stay at this home again!

Amazing lake cabin
This well equipped cabin was perfectly set up for our large family over the Fourth of July! We used every inch of the fun- water balloon fights, sauna, swimming area… it rained for 2 days and we were still well entertained- we fished off the dock and caught a bunch! We played games in the awesome garage space and went in the sauna. Thank you for providing so many details to make our stay so relaxing and fun! The beds and bedding were so luxurious, the tree house was epic, and the landscaping of the property is next level! Highly recommend to everyone!

Whether you want to lounge around the house or enjoy the outdoors, the property provides you the opportunity to do both.
This is a place you want to be when you gather with family and friends for a weekend getaway or an extended stay. There are enough beds to accommodate your party of 10 and whoever gets the treehouse won’t be let down. They have everything you’ll need to make any meal you want and you can even throw down on the grill. Whether you want to lounge around the house or enjoy the outdoors, the property provides you the opportunity to do both. Don’t skip the sauna, whether you stay in the summer or winter. You can always take a quick dip in the lake or jump in the snow if need a break from the heat. I know we’ll be back to enjoy TreeHaus again in the future.

We had the best time at this cabin. The beach area by the lake was perfect for the little kids and the sand toys provided were much appreciated! The treehouse is so cute and the garage game area was perfect for the adults after the kids went to bed!

Absolutely perfect!
My girlfriends of almost 42 years stayed here for our Annual girls weekend trip that we have been attending for 30 years! It was very warm, clean and accommodating. Beds were all comfy, plenty of blankets, plenty of dishes, and each room had a fan which was a must for a bunch of snoring ladies! Haha! The only thing I would add is to have some salt for the steps going up to tree house in the winter. It was a little scary going up and down in the evening with icy steps. But not a deal breaker by any means. I can’t really come up with anything else we would change! *Oh must go to Maucieri’s Italian Bistro Bar 3 minutes away! Tell Scotty I sent you! The food was amazing and the service was even better! Highly recommend! I’ve stayed and managed many vacation rentals in my past and give this home (and the cleaners) a 10/10!

Great Family Weekend!
We booked this cabin for a girls weekend for aunties and nieces. The cabin was very clean and decorated so cute for fall. We could even use the treehouse room with below freezing temps. The location is excellent as well- we went to a couple great restaurants and a coffeehouse that were under 10 minutes away. We will definitely be staying here in the future!

Family Vacation
The property is wonderful, clean, cozy, and well appointed. We had 9 people ages from 86 to 20 yrs old. The access for the older folks was nice. Just 2 steps up and with everything on one floor. Five steps down and a gentle slope to the beach and dock. It has a well stocked kitchen; Keurig, blender, toaster, coffee press, plenty of plates / silverware and serving stuff. The water front is on a wetland / bay which is beautiful and nicely sheltered on a windy day. The bay has heavy weed cover and is ~4-6' deep with a channel cut out to Crosslake. We launched our 19' boat at the association launch, super nice and convenient. You can see it across the bay from the property. The two docks and great, we had just the one boat but there is space for two easily. Navigation out the channel was easy and having a dock protected form the larger lake and any weather was very nice. The beach area was great for a quick dunk after a Sauna and would be perfect for small kids. For more substantial swimming you would likely head over to the association beach, just at the end of the channel. The fire pit at the lake / beach has a nice concrete patio surround and nice fire ring, the views at dusk over the bay / wetland are very peaceful. The Sauna was really fun, it take some commitment for the wood fired stove but was well worth the effort. We had some rain and the garage space was great, we hung out played ping pong and cornhole. There is refrigerator out there too, handy for extra space and bar supplies. The tree house was very cool. The views are great and it is very privet. We had some cool weather and it does have a heater. We we were very comfortable. The owner checked in a couple times to be sure we had all the info we needed and they were very helpful. This is a beautiful property, we had an epically good time.

Gorgeous cabin
rented property for a Couples getaway. 8 people total. The cabin was beautiful and the grounds were well maintained. My only issues were with cleanliness (the hall and kitchen floors needed sweeping around and under the throw carpets, counter tops were not clean, some spider webs throughout) and one of the patio doors did not lock. The owner was very responsive and professional. The bedrooms were all nice and clean (aside from dust on the vents), BEDS WERE COMFORTABLE. The tree house suite has a wraparound balcony, it is simply Stunning!! I would definitely recommend and would stay here again. AGAIN, THIS CABIN IS GORGEOUS, LOOKS BETTER IN PERSON THAN IN THE PICTURES. STAY HERE!!

Our family will be back. There was something for everyone to enjoy!
Our family stayed a long weekend in September with warm days and cool nights for a perfect getaway. The cabin is decorated beautifully. Our family appreciated the seasonal decor and attention to detail. The lakeside fire pit and sauna were a hit. It was refreshing to take a sauna and jump in lake afterwards. The little kids liked playing on the sandy beach and the teens went fishing on their kayaks. The large deck around the cabin and treehouse were perfect for our morning coffee and BBQ. There was plenty of comfortable seating for big family meals and late night card playing. It's located in a nice community with pickle ball/tennis within easy walking distance. I'd never played pickle ball before and had a lot of fun. We had such great weather we were outside most of the time. The garage was another hangout location with seating, a bar, and games - we didn't even get to it. I really enjoyed that this cabin had something for all ages. This cabin had plenty of great spaces and was just what our family needed to recharge.

Great Crosslake / Whitefish Location
My family and I have vacationed on the Whitefish chain for over 15 years (off and on). It is a great area that best exemplifies Minnesota lakes country. We have usually stayed in a resort, so this is the first time we rented a VRBO. We were very happy with the accommodations. The location is excellent. I felt very comfortable parking my boat and launching it from the harbor. The cabin is in excellent condition and very well appointed. The treehouse is a great touch and my son loved making that his spot for the weekend. Also, we used the sauna almost every day we were there. Highly recommended.

The perfect getaway
When we arrived, we were blown away by how pretty this property was. The decor reminded me of a spa! The cabin set up was beautiful. It was me, my husband, my 22 YO daughter, 20 YO son, 10 YO son and our 6M old son. There was something for everyone here. My daughter loved the tree house bedroom. It was so pretty. We spent our evenings in the garage listening to music, playing bags and ping pong, which was set up perfectly. We most definitely will be back.

Fantastic Cabin With A Great Location! (Great For Groups!)
We stayed here for our annual golf trip, and had a blast! The cabin itself was super spacious, and easily accommodated 9 of us. It was in a great location right by Crosslake which has awesome restaurants like Zorbaz & Moonlight Bay, and there are a bunch of golf courses within a 15-minute drive. The garage space is set up with a wet bar, ping pong table, bags, and more! Such a great spot to hang out and could see it being AWESOME for bachelor/bachelorette parties, or family weekends! The beach area was nice and clean, and we enjoyed relaxing lakeside by the fire in the evenings! Communication with the hosts was great, and check-in was super easy. Will definitely be booking this out again for our golf weekend next summer! Make sure you're the first one in your group to get in the house so you can claim the Eagles Nest as your room! It's as cool as the pictures make it look!
