Lake home on quiet recreational lake with hot tub. Close to "Up North" amenities

With 3+ acres on the lake there is lots to do and explore. Bring up your bikes and hit the Cuyuna trails, explore Paul Bunyan Land, take the kayak out on the lake, swim off the dock, relax on the deck, bring your boat and go fishing-the options are endless. Our home offers 3 bedrooms, a full bath and laundry on the lower level. Upstairs is a large open kitchen/dining/living room with a 1/2 bath. The french doors lead from the living room to the oversized deck and grilling area. Take the walkway off the deck to the steps and head down to the lake. Enjoy swimming off the brand new 30' dock with 12'x10' patio (little to no weeds!), access to our double kayak, paddle board and lily pad available to use during your stay. Bring your boat and launch it just down the road at the public boat launch (you can tie it to the dock as well). Watch the sunset over the lake from the newly built deck and relax in the hot tub or sit by the fire watching the stars.15 minutes to Crosby (Cuyuna trails bike trails/scenic lookout), 20 minutes to downtown Brainerd, 7 minutes to Paul Bunyan Land, 15 minutes to Mille Lacs lake.

Family vacation

This house was beautiful inside and out. The lake was amazing! My children were finishing machines and loved the triple bunk room! Check in and out process was super easy and the owner is so friendly! We had deer visit daily and the sunsets on the dock were beautiful. Definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a lake house!

Had a great few days at Nokay Lake with all the property had to offer… appreciated the minor updates from our initial stay two years ago. The deck is awesome, the hot tub a bonus and the trip down to the water is still a workout. Appreciate the host’s responsiveness and open dialogue.

This place really has it all! The cabin itself is a great place to stay with all the amenities that you need to really enjoy yourself without any worries. The owners communicate really well if there are any questions/concerns. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a few days away from the "madness". Thank you!

The cabin was beautiful and had everything you needed. If there was something you forgot they had you covered and if not town was 15-20 minutes away to go grab it. It was quiet and private, and had plenty of room to play games and chill outside.

Private and relaxing home with a view

This very private home had every we were looking for and more. I overpacked because I didn't realize how well-stocked it was. We loved it so much that we booked it again for next year before we left. We only left once during a 4 night stay and I was never bored; I especially loved hanging out by the shore with the dock, fire pit, and loons, turtles, and an osprey that frequent the area.

Great week of overall accommodations and weather (yes, our host even provided GREAT weather over our July 4th holiday week, LOL). Appreciated all the amenities; great space for our family of Mom, Dad and 4 kiddos! The property was clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed the large deck, the hot tub and lake dock. Nice swim area, plus kids able to fish from the dock. Great communication connection with the owners.

Fun family time

We had an amazing time! The property was perfect. Our kids are ages 3 and 7 and they had tons of fun with the playground, toys, lily pad, games, bikes, and other activities. The lakefront was just gorgeous and we made awesome memories on the water with our kids. The paddle board was particularly fun for the adults to try. The kitchen was set up so well to cook and the indoor and outdoor areas were spacious to eat and hang out. We had everything we needed except more time. Hope to come back again!

Definitely appreciate that! We saw a deer and her fawn and some other deer, turkeys and their babies, love the loons on the lake and a hummingbird surprised me on the deck. The lake wasn’t super busy and we enjoyed exploring it. Lots of towns close by to explore too. Awesome communication to answer my questions.

Beautiful Lake Home - Perfect for Families!

This lake home is simply lovely! Clean, modern decor, comfortable king bed, and very well stocked for everything a family needs. It's a home away from home for sure. Our seven and four year old absolutely loved catching sunfish and crappies off the dock, as well as swimming, going for rides on the double kayak and paddle board. And, of course we really enjoyed the awesome hot tub at the end of each day's adventures. We rented a fishing boat from a nearby resort for a day, which was also fun. And, spent a day at sandy Whipple Beach which was about 30 minutes away. We also spent a day at Cayuga bike trails, which was about 15 minutes away. There is so much to do for families both at the house and nearby. Recommend appropriate shoes for the steps to the lake and water.
