It's the perfect size for two adults and two kids, has all the amenities you'll need, and provides the best firewood we've ever had. Sandy is a great host who's there for you when you need her (including mailing bluetooth speakers you dropped under the bed to you!) and off-hands when you're just having a good time. The place strikes the perfect balance between remote peacefulness and accessibility to things to do during the day. Love it! ##### Alex G.

Sandy was BEYOND responsive to my questions! Every night I would open all the windows and listen to the sounds of nature, including owls and loons. Sitting in front of the “nature lake” and appreciating the swans … having the blue heron fly immediately behind me, so close I could hear its wings … sitting on the dock overlooking the lake … it was truly a magical visit. Highly recommend. ##### Kristina H. Stayed 18 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kara H. 23 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location, many amenities If you’re goal is to enjoy all that nature has to offer, or if you just want to visit small towns read a book and drink tea, either way Pinecone Cottage is a great place to stay. Sandy, whose residence is next door, was very accommodating, helping us out with suggestions for local activities and resources. The paddle boat is an excellent way to explore the lake or even fish from. We also rented the motorboat, which was in great shape and easy to use. The cabin is centrally located making trips into Nisswa, Pequot Lakes, or Crosslakes equally accessible. If you need larger city accommodations, Brainerd isn’t far either. Overall highly recommend Pinecone Cottage and would definitely rebook. ##### Kara H.

It is a beautiful property with a lot of wildlife! We were greeted by deer each time we came and went on the driveway, and some wild turkeys checked out the trunk of our car while packing up to leave. The property is not nearly as secluded/private as advertised with the host's home closer than my next-door neighbor in town. Sandy was kind and respectful so this wasn't a huge deal - we were just very surprised by this. The home was clean and had everything we needed for a weekend to get away for a re-charge. ##### Jamie K.

The quiet, the stars, the lake breeze, the comfort and style of this place immediately made me feel welcome and at home. I want to return! I will need it! ##### Greg A.

Enjoyed the birds, seeing the work of the beavers, took the canoe out. Read books sitting on the dock. The lake is small, private and quiet. No loud jet skis and speed boats disrupting your peace and quiet. We watched two DVDs they had on site one night. What a special treat that was. We didn't cook much but the kitchen seemed well stocked. Well stocked bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. Lots of seating options in the living room. The chairs on the deck are comfortable to sit on also. Such a close drive to the busier towns of Brainerd, Nisswa and Breezy Point. Perfect for day trips for shopping and dining. The cottage has a lake on both sides. Fire pits on both sides. Private driveway. The owners live next door. It was absolutely everything we hoped it would be and we will recommend it to friends and family. What a slice of heaven. ##### Lisa L.

We really enjoyed the swans, loons, and ducks. The kayaks were fun to use on the lake. ##### Theresa S.
