About this property
SUMMER fun in a cozy log lake home on the Whitefish Chain under the tall pines
You will want to come and see why Cross lake is one of the hottest spots in Minnesota to holiday.
Our cabin is located on 'Big Trout Lake' connecting to 14 lakes on the Whitefish Chain ready for you to explore.
Big Trout is known for it's pristine water clarity, lake depth and for it's great fishing and swimming.
Our cabin sits on a level shoreline lot allowing everyone to be able to enjoy the lake! There are no steps or steep hills to climb just to get close to the water. Our cabin sits close to the water among the tall pine trees and offers an excellent sandy lake bottom for great swimming and a private dock ready for you to tie up your boat. There is also a beautiful walking, biking and jogging trail just steps away from our cabin that takes you along the scenic Manhattan point.
After a great day on the lake, Cross lake offers many great restaurants either by boat or just a quick drive into town, and Manhattan Beach Lodge bar and restaurant is just a short walk from the cabin.
Cross lake has so much to offer and has golfing for adults and kids, great shopping options, walking or biking paths and many other amenities, and the Brainerd/Baxter area is only approximately 30 minutes away.
After dinner, you will want to enjoy the beautiful sunsets, relax on the porch with a great drink, or have a great campfire with the fire-pit that sits close to the lake for evening campfires and s’mores!
Our log cabin is clean, well equipped, nicely furnished throughout and is a perfect place to build memories with family and friends.

Perfect location on the Whitefish Chain! Comfortable cabin, great dock space, crystal clear water and everything you need inside the cabin for a great stay!
Loved this property! We enjoyed a very relaxing week at the lake! We used the kayaks, enjoyed ice cream in town, went antique shopping, had pizza at Moonlight Bay, and walked/biked on the nearby trails. It was awesome and we hope to return someday!
This property is the best!! Super clean, beautiful scenery, relaxing, welcoming!!! This is our third visit to this property and we absolutely love it!! I can’t say enough about this beautiful home that the hosts share!! We can’t wait to return. We come back refreshed every time! Highly recommend this property!!!
We were here for a long weekend stay to celebrate my husbands birthday and enjoy the chili contest for Crosslake Days. Weather was more than perfect! Beautiful water, loons and just peaceful with the best sunrises and sunsets. We have had several visits to this cabin and it never disappoints! Very well maintained and clean!!! A true treasure!!!
This was our 4th time at Pinecone Lodge. The cabin was very clean, check in was easy and the owners are always easy to communicate with. The cabin is very cozy, beautiful view of the lake and a great outside space to enjoy campfires. We used the walking trail that is just across the road, always fun to see the deer. We brought our pontoon boat so we could also enjoy some time on the water. This cabin is a great place to spend time and relax.

My husband, three adult children, and elderly mother greatly enjoyed our stay at Pinecone Lodge. The house had everything we needed. My mom was able to get around easily on the first floor. (The walk in shower was a must for her due to limited mobility.) We had great times around the campfire and on the dock. The walking/bike trail across the street provided good exercise and the path was pretty, mostly shady, and a good distance. This was a comfortable, clean, and beautiful home in an excellent location. We highly recommend!
Wonderful lake house on Trout Lake. The owners are easy to communicate with as we had questions before booking because we were traveling with some elderly family members, and they had great recommendations when we needed them post booking to plan our trip. The house was fantastic. It had everything we could ask for and was the perfect location on the lake. Easy and quick access to the dock (no steep steps) and walking distance to Manhattan Beach for dinner and quick drive into cross lake when needed. House was very clean, with nice and comfortable furnishings throughout. We loved the screened in porch for coffee and reading and the firepit at night. We would definitely rent here again if in the area.
This property was perfect for our family! Very clean, comfortable and so close to the lake! We definitely enjoyed the AC for the 2 extreme heat days! Cabin had everything we needed and more. Would love to came again.
We all had such a wonderful stay at the cabin! It's very cute & cozy inside! It's stocked very well of most kitchen items needed! We loved the location & had such a nice walking path across the street! Very close to town, too! Would definitely rent again!!
Very clean and great location. Drive in a little tight, but once you are there a very nice property. We went over the fourth of July so we were a little worried about traffic, but was a nice quiet spot even with Manhattan Beach near by it was very relaxing. I would recommend going to the launch first and then bring back your trailer. Owners were great to work with and we will likely be back again!
Very well appointed and thought through. For us the property is too close to Manhattan Beach resort. On the weekend there is music and boat traffic. Owner was very helpful when needed.
This place is the absolute best. We stayed for one week. Everything is perfect, just perfect. We have stayed before and included my sister, mom and my niece, husband and daughters this time! We are so relaxed. We didn’t want to leave!!! Will be definitively be booking again !!!!

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot
Lovely property and cabin. Very well outfitted with all the comforts of home. Big trout lake is deep and very clean - we enjoyed boating and swimming. We would certainly return to this cabin again. The only drawback was the boat traffic particularly on the weekends at Manhattan Beach resort which is quite close. Unfortunately, they were also rebuilding the motel attached to the Manhattan Beach resort and the workmen would start hammering at 6:30 each morning. Owners were terrific when we had an issue with the air conditioner. They had it fixed in less than an hour.
We just got home from a wonderful, relaxing weekend at Pinecone Lodge. We loved this property it was very warm and cozy. It happened to be the coldest few days in many years but you would never know it from inside the cabin. The in floor heat is fantastic. The cabin is very clean, stocked with everything you need, even a rolling pin so I could roll out bread dough for Carmel rolls. It is close to the Manhattan Beach Lodge so if you want good take out food it's still hot when you get back. Owners were easy to communicate with and checked on us after we checked in. There was a welcoming gift for us when we arrived. This is a great property. We booked it again in September and will bring a boat so we can enjoy the lake.
The King Family
We had another nice stay at Pinecone Lodge. 4 adults. The weather even cooperated. The cabin was very clean, a gift waiting for us on the counter...marsh mellows and Hershey bars for s'mores. The cabin had everything that we needed. Its very comfortable and cozy. We brought a pontoon boat and spent many hours on the water. Took the dog to a nice sandbar and let her swim and run around. Visited three restaurants by water and just cruised around looking at the scenery. There is a nice walking trail across the road from the cabin and we used it every morning. There is also a nice dog park and nature trail within 5 minutes of the cabin. We spent our evenings by the camp fire in the back yard, relaxing. We were also able to catch some bass off the dock , I'm sure we could have caught more if we would have gotten up earlier. This is a great place to stay and we are hopeful that we can return next year.
Good place and accurately described. Kitchen was stocked with utensils and small extras you may need. Nice dock area and fire pit. The screened in patio that faces the lake is where we hung out the most. It is a nice area. Down side was working with our boat trailer in the parking area. This is at a dead end and there is very little space to work with besides your car. Turning around with a trailer is not possible. TV in upstairs bedroom would not work and really could use at least one king sized bed.
This is an amazing gem of a property!! Super clean, had everything we needed to cook a few meals. Quiet, beautiful lake view!!! So beautiful! So cozy , decorated exactly as it should be! The gas fireplace in the living room was perfect! Even though it was chilly, we had so much fun! Big dining room table to play games on and just talk and have lots of laughs!! We have to look at our calendar to plan our next visit ! We definitely want to return!!!!! Thank you for your great instructions and for sharing this beautiful property!
Beautifully clean & efficient cabin. Single family room promoted together time. Bost rental is well off-site; if you don’t bring your own be sure to reserve ahead of time. Paved walkway let us walk/jog safely. Lake is lovely; loons & deer sighted often.
This is our 3rd time at Pinecone Lodge and we are already booked for next year. This is a very quiet, cozy, comfortable cabin. The dock is just steps away and we brought our pontoon boat and took advantage of the nice weather, cruising the Whitefish chain of lakes with our family and dogs. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the backyard, this was mandatory for the family. We used the nearby walking trail each morning, with the dogs.
The owners have a gem of a rental cabin and the cleaning crew does an amazing job keeping the cabin clean. The cabin is well stocked with anything we needed. Communications with the owner has been great.

Great week at the lake. Property is well maintained and clean. Convenient location on the lake and for around town. Dock setup well for pontoon we had for the week. Property as advertised.
