Welcome to The Acorn, your lakeside getaway on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes—one of Minnesota’s premier destinations for summer and fall.
The Acorn embodies the way lake life is meant to be—mornings with coffee in the sunroom, afternoons on the sandy beach or exploring clear waters of the Whitefish Chain, and evenings gathered on the deck or around the firepit as the sun sets. Guests say it’s where their best memories of Minnesota summers are made.

This 4,000 sq. ft. lake home offers four king bedrooms, a loft, bunk space, and four full bathrooms, giving everyone the comfort of space to spread out. The main floor layout is large enough for everyone to gather, yet full of cozy corners like the sunroom or the downstairs game room where kids and adults find their own rhythm. The fully stocked kitchen makes family meals a joy, large pellet and gas grills to prepare meals while enjoying the outdoors and the high-quality furnishings throughout ensure the home feels inviting from the moment you arrive.

Outside, the setting is just as welcoming. A gentle walk to your private sandy beach makes access to the water effortless for all ages. Spend time exploring several nearby islands with kayaks and paddleboards, or lounging on the wrap-around deck with lake views. The outdoor firepit (firewood provided) is quintessential north woods entertainment and becomes the heart of the evening—where s’mores, stories, and starlit skies make lasting memories.

Being on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes means you have direct access to one of Minnesota’s most premier destinations. Rent a boat or pontoon from a nearby marina, or let a guide like Walleyedan pick you up at the dock for a day of fishing for walleye, panfish, or northern pike. Off the water, the area offers public golf courses, biking trails, and family-friendly adventures for every pace.

When it’s time to head out during your stay, Crosslake’s best are no more than 5 minutes away. Enjoy the local scene, live music and lakefront dining at Moonlite Bay, craft cocktails at Ox Lake Tavern, or northern Minnesota staples like Rafferty’s Pizza, Zorbaz, and the Yellow House Ice Cream shop.

Whether you’re gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or simply looking for the perfect place to experience summer and fall in Minnesota, The Acorn brings together space, comfort, and location in a way few homes can.
