Cottage Charm

The Cottage is the perfect place to unplug and unwind. This comfortable cabin/house sits on a 2 acre wooded lot that provides privacy, relaxation and plenty of wildlife. 3.4 easy miles to Nisswa, 9 miles to Gull Lake, 19 to Crosslake MN and is easily accessible off of HWY 371. The cabin is great for a family vacation or girls/guys weekend. This is a very private location yet close to lakes, bike trails, rivers, shopping, restaurants, local breweries, and wineries. Outside fire pit(firewood provided), gas grill, back porch attached right off of the family room.

The cabin has 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and 2 full bathrooms. 1 king bed in master bedroom along with a TV, other 2 bedrooms have queen beds. There is an additional queen day bed in the family room area. Mini split air conditioning/heater, kinetico water filtration system, gas fireplace in living room and wood burning fireplace in family room.

This is a garden home with all living spaces on one level with no stairs. Walkout to both front and back patios. The kitchen has all the dishes, pots, pans, and utensils you will need, a full-size fridge, dishwasher, electric stove, keurig coffee maker. Washer and Dryer available for your use. TV in the master bedroom, family and living room(Chromecast on all TVs), WIFI, DVD player.

Large patios accessible from the living room and family room area. Spacious yard with fire pit, grill, and yard games. Quiet reading area in the family room with a table to play cards or board games. Cards, board games, books and DVD's for your use(both adult and child friendly).

Large parking area with both indoor and outdoor parking. Outside is well lit with plenty of exterior lights. Smoke and CO detectors, fire extinguisher, basic first aid.

Local Breweries in Nisswa and Baxter. We recommend the following restaurants of Ernie's on Gull, Sherwood Forest, The Boulder Tap House, Rafferty's Pizza, Commander and A-Pine Family Restaurant.

Only 5 miles away in Nisswa there is Schaefer's Foods local grocery store and Spirits of Nisswa liquor store. You will also find public access to Lower Cullen, West Twin Lake, Nisswa Lake, Lake Hubert, Round Lake, Gull Lake and many more.

Access to the Paul Bunyan Trail is 1.5 miles away. The Paul bunyan Trail is a multi-use recreational rail trail spanning 120-miles and it connects the Heartland Trail, the Blue Ox Trail and the Cuyuna State Trail. You can enjoy biking, rollerblading, walking, geocaching, snowmobiling and running while sightseeing.

Attractions nearby include Nisswa City Park, Mount Ski gull, Brainard Zip Line Tour, Multiple Championship Golf Courses, Brainard International Raceway, Northland Kart County, Pirates Cove Adventure Golf, and many more.

This property is 4 miles away from our other VRBO listing 1993904 Privacy in the Pines - this property sleeps 6. If you are in need of a spot for multi-families to stay, these two houses are close enough to enjoy each other yet distant enough for privacy.

Motion activated Nest doorbell camera located on the front door with coverage of front porch, walkway and driveway.

Exceeded our expectations! Perfect for a girls weekend. Close to Nisswa but just far enough out of town to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Great place to stay! Comfy, clean and cozy!

Lovely, remote home
Stayed with family for a wedding in town. The home is actually bigger than it looks in the pictures. Immaculately clean with everything we needed. It was also nice to park in the garage since it was raining during our stay. One thing I’d suggest is some window treatments in the TV room space. It’s a little creepy at night and a bummer for the person sleeping on the bed in that space in the morning. We would definitely stay again.

Great location and wonderful space
We were in town for a wedding. The layout was wonderful with two wings. The kitchen was so well stocked. We had our 85 year old parents with us and the easy step-free access was great for them. The seating throughout was abundant and comfy, especially on the front porch. We played cards at the big kitchen table and cooked our meals together. It was fun. Thank you!!

Birthday stay
We booked this home as a birthday get together for 4 couples. It was perfect for what we needed: plenty of space to play yard games, grill and indoor games when it rained. The cabin was clean, beds were comfortable and check-in/out process simple. The one question we ran into was answered promptly and the property manager was over with in 15 minutes with a quick fix. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a really great stay! This cabin is in a Great location to be out of town and have privacy, but easy to go into Nisswa, Breezy, Pequot, etc…we kept busy! The layout was great for our 2 families (4 adults, 3 kids under 10). Would recommend shades for the daybed setup area. We were surprised at the fully stocked kitchen and had everything we needed. Was a great stay!

Quiet country setting close to lots of great activities.
We came up north for a wedding and didn't want to stay in a hotel. I found this great home close to the venue and couldn't have been happier with how nice the home was and its location. We even had deer visit each night while we were there. It was nice to come back to a quiet country setting each night and be able to get away from the hustle and bustle of everything in town and the crazy traffic on the weekends.
