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.

We came up for the Christmas/Fall house tours. The donation to the food shelf was worth it. The 6 of us always have a fun time. Weather was very nice but a little windy but we did not complain. We will be back next year!

A peaceful, serene getaway
My husband and I, along with some very good friends, enjoyed a short but very relaxing stay. The setting is so peaceful. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The house has everything you’d need. Better yet, it is just a short drive into Nisswa where we relished all of the little boutiques and unique shopping experiences. And there are numerous restaurants, bars and breweries in the event that shopping makes you hungry and thirsty. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Great little cottage
This property was perfect for our group. We had 7 people including my 80 year old parents. Having everything on one level made it easy for them. The house was very clean, comfortable and spacious. Just a quick drive to Nisswa, Baxter/Brainerd. Loved it!
