It was a wonderful place to stay. Wish it would have been under better circumstances for us. Gregg our host opened up their house and heart to us. Allowing and inviting us to use there house as a home base for our family to gather while grieving the loss of our mother. It was a great place having ample room for our family as we remembered and shared stories of mom-grandma-greatgrandma. We are thankful. May God Bless Gregg and his family as well as all who have the oppurtunity to stay there.

We had a group of adults, a teen and kids. We all enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Everyone was able to spread out and have their own space. The house was well appointed with everything we needed. The hosts were very generous and quick to reply to messages. We bought some rock salt for the icy sidewalks and the owner quickly reimbursed us for that. Thanks again!

Gregg was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything so easy. The cabin itself was super cute and cozy, with lots of amenities. I grew up in Crosslake, and it honestly reminded me of staying at my grandparents' cabin because they had everything you could possibly need. The fact that it's pet-friendly was a huge bonus for us!We had so much fun, and the outdoor scenery was absolutely beautiful in the winter with the snow and the lake. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-equipped cabin experience.

The property is nice, not fancy (older finishes, carpeted floors, and two shared bathrooms), well set up for families with young kids. The layout works well: four bedrooms (three with a queen or full bed; one with two kid beds) plus an extra sleeping area with three more beds, one bathroom upstairs and one downstairs, and a well-equipped kitchen. There was also plenty of firewood and we had bonfires by the lake most nights.The lake access is ideal for young kids — a sandy beach with shallow water under two feet deep all the way to the end of the dock, plus a lily pad to play on. You can see it all from the nice deck off the kitchen/dining and living room on the lake side. Nice big lawn. The water in the dock area is sandy, with some weeds further out that deeper-water swimmers will need to navigate. Access to two kayaks, a stand-up paddleboard, and a paddle boat is included. Wildlife sightings included turtles, loons, bald eagles, osprey, and even an owl. We didn't try fishing on Duck Lake but pontooned and caught several northerns on nearby Cross Lake.Just a couple suggestions: neutral 2700–3000K LED bulbs instead of the glaring 5000K ones in several fixtures, a cleaning of the upstairs sink and shower drains, and life jackets for kids above 50 lbs. And it would be nice to have an option to use or rent a boat on Duck Lake. Overall, though, it’s a great spot for a family-friendly lake trip — and we may well book it again. Thanks, Gregg!
