About this cabin rental

If you’re looking for the authentic cabin experience, look no further. This classic 1950s lake property sits among towering mature pines and offers privacy, comfort, and unforgettable lake views.

The property includes:

2-bedroom / ¾-bath main cabin

1-bedroom / 1-bath guest cabin

Free-standing sauna

Free-standing screen porch with the best view on the lake

Large platform dock

2018 Bennington pontoon boat (seasonal)

Purchased in 2017 and completely renovated, the main cabin features a small but efficient layout with two bedrooms (double beds), a cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace, dining area with beautiful lake views, and a well-equipped kitchen with a 2-burner cooktop, microwave/convection oven, refrigerator, and single-bowl sink.

One of the highlights of the property is the free-standing screen porch, perfectly positioned to capture panoramic views of Lake O’Brien. It’s the ideal spot for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply soaking in the sights and sounds of the lake — rain or shine.

The indoor space flows seamlessly to an outdoor area with a fire pit and gas grill, making evenings under the stars easy and memorable.

Both the main cabin and guest cabin include air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and HD TVs with local cable, so you can stay connected or catch the big game when you want to. On cooler nights, enjoy the free-standing sauna with electric heater — and don’t forget to cool off with a refreshing dip in the lake afterward.

Located just 5 miles east of Crosslake, spring-fed Lake O’Brien boasts exceptional water clarity (up to 24 feet), making it one of the cleanest lakes in the watershed. With roughly five miles of shoreline — including a large portion of undeveloped state-owned land — the lake is surrounded by pristine forest and mature pines.

In summer, Lake O’Brien is ideal for fishing, water skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, or simply floating and relaxing. The quiet township road is also perfect for morning walks or bike rides.

The property comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests (strict limit due to cabin size), making it ideal for families or a few couples. Our calendar is kept up to date, and if you see availability, it’s likely open. After booking, you’ll receive a detailed what-to-bring list to help you prepare for your stay.

We take great pride in maintaining the property and all equipment in excellent condition, and we’re confident we’ll exceed your expectations. Since we also live on the same lake, we’re able to respond quickly should any questions or issues arise.

Your only disappointment will be having to leave.

Pontoon boat is typically available from mid-May through early October.

Very tastefully restored cabin in a spectacular location. My daughter, her husband and two young grandsons stayed in larger cabin while my husband and I stayed in guest cabin. It was PERFECT. Everything was top notch. Beautiful lake and naturalized setting. Boat was luxurious. The large dock was great for an 8 year old to fish off. We couldn't get him away from it. Ate every meal at the picnic table and had a great bonfire most nights. Far exceeded what I had hoped for. A very special place that I especially recommend if you have young families.

We've stayed in a lot of vacation rentals over the years and this definitely makes it into our top 10! So many neat touches in both cabins and the screened porch was a gem. Everything was in great condition and the pontoon was an added bonus. Easy drive into town and several restaurants relatively close by. If you are looking for an authentic lake vacation you can't go wrong with this cabin! We even had a visit from some local wildlife that added a little excitement to the trip!
