Brook Side Cottage

Here is a cozy up-north getaway just 5 minutes from downtown Crosslake, 10 minutes to Breezy Point and 15 minutes from the Cuyuna bike trails. Our home features a lofted bedroom with two full sized beds, and a bunk bed on the main level. This cabin features excellent privacy on a 1.5 acre lot and is heavily surrounded by trees. Enjoy bonfires by the river in the evenings and drinks on the deck or head to one of the many restaurants in the area! ** we are pet friendly, however, there is a $100 fee if you are bringing pets. When booking the property please indicate you are traveling with pets.

Had a great time at this property with the kids and dogs !!! Even though it is on a busier road , the backside of the lot is open lawn , quiet and serene ! Great place to sit and enjoy nature , sit on the dock and have the dogs run !!! The home was very homey and had everything we needed for our stay !!! Great overall location and close to many things !!!

Better than expected

This cabin rocks! The photos do not it justice, it is a beautiful space and I don’t even remember a tiki bar in the pictures or the fire pit! Due be careful with the stairs and not all the windows have blinds. We stayed while it was foggy but just something to note. One thing with the fire is there wasn’t a hatchet so bring your own. Loved my stay. Super super comfy.
