Enjoy Winter with 1/2 Price February! Charming Lake Cabin with Wood Fireplace!

All Remaining February Dates are now 1/2 price!!
 
If you are looking for the 'cabin experience', Lazy Pines is your place!! This classic Minnesota cabin won't disappoint. This property was completely renovated in the fall of 2014 and is essentially like new inside and out. Done in a true cabin feel, Lazy Pines has a wonderful open floor plan on the main level that features a combined great room/kitchen/living room with a large wood-burning fieldstone fireplace for those chilly nights (fire wood included of course!!). The main level features vaulted ceilings and a wonderful screen porch overlooking the lake with panoramic views of beautiful O'brien Lake. The main level further features a lakeside master bedroom and bathroom complete with tile shower. The lower level features an additional bedroom, a second designated bunk room, and an additional informal bunk area along with a second bathroom which also includes a custom tile shower. In addition, the lower level features a built-in game/puzzle table along with a leather sectional couch and entertainment area for a rainy day or movie night! The lower level also features tremendous lake views and all interior spaces (main and lower level) flow seamlessly to a large lakeside firepit area just steps from the water for those true Minnesotan's (again, firewood included)! The rental comes complete with a pontoon boat (2023 Bennington), and of course a hammock in the yard for those lazy days. For those that need to stay connected, the cabin also includes Wi-Fi and two high definition TV's with DirecTV (including a lower level area that has a blue ray DVD player and surround sound). And don't worry, you won't be roughing it, the 2014 renovation was done in good taste so along with the granite counter tops, the wood plank floors, and the reclaimed details it also brought all new mechanical systems including air conditioning, new appliances, and a Culligan softened water system.

Situated 5 miles east of the town of Crosslake, crystal clear Lake O'Brien is spring fed with a water clarity of 24', the cleanest lake in the entire watershed district. The lake itself is surrounded by mature pines. There is approximately 5 miles of shoreline, of which about a quarter of the lake is undeveloped state owned property. During the summer, this recreational lake is perfect for fishing, skiing, wake boarding canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and all water based activities, including floating on an air mattress!! There is a sandbar where you can walk across the lake which is a favorite gathering spot for 'kids of all ages'!! It's location on a quiet tar township road make it perfect for a morning walk or bike ride. During the winter months the lake is perfect for ice fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and is a perfect base camp to access the endless miles of groomed snowmobile trails.

Lazy Pines is perfect for a family, an extended family, or a couple families; we have a limit of 9 occupants. There are 2 Queen beds (1 per bedroom), 3 single beds (in the bunk areas) and a double bed (bottom bunk). We do keep our calendar updated and so if you are seeing availability then it's likely available. Upon reservation confirmation you'll receive a complete 'what to bring' list ahead of your stay so you are prepared for your time up north. Feel free to inquire with any questions you may have and we’ll be prompt to reply! We pride ourselves on keeping our property and structures/equipment pristine and are certain we'll exceed your expectations in that regard. And further, since we also live on this lake, should any questions or problems arise we can respond quickly. In fact, your only disappointment will be when you have to leave!!

NOTE: The pontoon is in the water, and use is included in the stated rental rates, from approximately early May - late September.

Perfect cabin!
This cabin is exactly what we imagined from the description, but the experience was even better! We love the north woods and the cabin experience and this place was perfect - private and exactly what our family of 4 couples needed. Awesome wood fireplace and the pontoon was a huge perk!

We found the cabin serene, peaceful, and nicely designed. Found the showers to be especially attractive- we loved the pebble floors which echoed the design of the stone fireplace. Great place!

Great place to stay!
Loved our weekend trip at this cabin! The owners were easy to get ahold of and the check in/out process was super easy. The kitchen had a lot of appliances/supplies to use. Loved the indoor fireplace as well! Beds were cozy and the view of the lake was gorgeous. Would definitely go back!

Honest review
The cabin is cute and very relaxing. Intimate cozy setting for whatever occasion. The property was well kept and having access to a boat was a huge plus for my family. Downstairs the bunk beds were a hit with my kiddos.

Peaceful Respite
We were in need of a few quiet, peaceful days and our stay here delivered! The cabin was clean, had everything we needed, was thoughtfully decorated to reflect the location, and the layout was perfect. The cabin looked exactly as it does in the photos and check in and check out were simple and uneventful. We would highly recommend staying here!

Great Get Away
This VRBO is in the perfect location for a quite get away yet close to all the action. The cabin is in great condition and the amenities were great. Renae was there to answer all of our questions (There were few because everything was very well laid out for us). I would highly recommend this property.
