The Boathouse-on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes

Picture yourself enjoying your coffee or sipping on your favorite beverage while watching the sunset from the screen porch of this quaint little cabin overlooking the lake. This is a 2 level cabin and is just steps away from the waters edge. Lower level of cabin is accessed through an OUTSIDE stairwell. It is the perfect location to enjoy all that Crosslake has to offer. On the water to take advantage of boating, fishing, water sports & just 5 min from town to enjoy golfing, hiking, tennis, shopping, frisbee golf and pickleball. Restaurants, boat rentals, paddle boarding and bike trails are just 1/2 mile away. We love pets, but ask that you make separate arrangements at your home or in a kennel for their stay.

Cozy, nicely appointed.
This place was small, but clean and nicely decorated. Only downside would be no bathroom in lower level, but since I was alone, it didn’t affect me. I’ll be back.

Great spot.
Nice spot off the main lake(s). Small quiet lake protected from heavy traffic and wind for those with boats. Close to everything in town. The Boathouse was perfect for our small family. Watch your head in short doorways.

Great location! Cozy cabin!
Five of us stayed at the Boathouse and had a great time. The location was great. Loon Lake was an awesome spot, quiet and protected from crazy wind. We brought our boat and it was fun exploring the Whitefish Chain. The cabin is small but cozy and very well decorated and stocked. Highly recommend!
