Charming 3-bedroom Cabin on Lake O'Brien with Pontoon Boat | Cabin in Crosslake
3 Bedroom Cabin in Crosslake
If you love classic Minnesota cabins, your search is over. This beautifully restored lakefront cabin blends authentic 1960s charm with modern comforts—something that’s hard to find in newer builds. Originally built by my grandmother’s sister, the cabin has been in our family for decades. We purchased it and completed a full renovation in 2024, carefully preserving its character while upgrading every major system.
The open main level features a modern kitchen, cozy sitting area with a wood-burning fireplace, and a comfortable living room—all flowing out to a lakeside deck just 50 feet from the water. Prefer to be even closer? Enjoy your morning coffee or an evening drink on the over-water deck with firepit, a guest favorite.

The Lake & Location
Located just 5 miles east of Crosslake, spring-fed Lake O’Brien boasts an impressive 24 feet of water clarity, the cleanest in the watershed district. The lake is surrounded by mature pines, with approximately 5 miles of shoreline—nearly a quarter of it protected state land.
Summer activities include fishing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing, or simply floating and relaxing. A walkable sandbar is a popular gathering spot for kids of all ages. The quiet township road is ideal for morning walks or bike rides.
In winter, the lake transforms into a playground for ice fishing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling, with easy access to miles of groomed trails.
Good to Know
Ideal for families up to 6 or a couples retreat
Calendar is always kept up to date—if it’s available, it’s available
A detailed “what to bring” list is provided after booking
Owners live on the lake and can respond quickly if needed
We take great pride in keeping the cabin, equipment, and property pristine, and we’re confident your expectations will be exceeded. Truly, your only disappointment will be when it’s time to leave.
