About this house rental
Welcome to Duck Lake! We are eager to share our family home with you. We're not foo-foo here, just clean and comfortable!! While you’re here, we’re hoping you can connect with your family and friends and enjoy the great outdoors. Duck Lake has only a couple dozen homes and cabins surrounded by forest. Our lake is perfect for families who enjoy privacy.

Our entire home and the surrounding 2 ½ acres are available to you.

Detached screened porch with queen-size Sleep Number bed and pull-out couch (Perfect for those guests who want to get even closer to nature and hear the loons and owls hooting at night!)

Lake-side fire pit (Help yourself to firewood.)
Large yard for outdoor games

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
The property is nice, not fancy (older finishes, carpeted floors, and two shared bathrooms), well set up for families with young kids. The layout works well: four bedrooms (three with a queen or full bed; one with two kid beds) plus an extra sleeping area with three more beds, one bathroom upstairs and one downstairs, and a well-equipped kitchen. There was also plenty of firewood and we had bonfires by the lake most nights.The lake access is ideal for young kids — a sandy beach with shallow water under two feet deep all the way to the end of the dock, plus a lily pad to play on. You can see it all from the nice deck off the kitchen/dining and living room on the lake side. Nice big lawn. The water in the dock area is sandy, with some weeds further out that deeper-water swimmers will need to navigate. Access to two kayaks, a stand-up paddleboard, and a paddle boat is included. Wildlife sightings included turtles, loons, bald eagles, osprey, and even an owl. We didn't try fishing on Duck Lake but pontooned and caught several northerns on nearby Cross Lake.Just a couple suggestions: neutral 2700–3000K LED bulbs instead of the glaring 5000K ones in several fixtures, a cleaning of the upstairs sink and shower drains, and life jackets for kids above 50 lbs. And it would be nice to have an option to use or rent a boat on Duck Lake. Overall, though, it’s a great spot for a family-friendly lake trip — and we may well book it again. Thanks, Gregg!

We had a wonderful weekend at the lake! The cabin was clean and so comfy, plenty of room for us (6 adults, 1 teen, 2 kids) and the yard and beach were amazing! Spent lots of time swimming off the dock area (SO nice that there’s minimal weeds) did tons of paddle boating and kayaking, and great to have the firepit just off the lake so we could run and cozy up by the fire as soon as we climb out of the lake. The property was tucked away from the busy-ness of Crosslake, yet just a couple minute drive into town for anything we could possibly need. Overall a fantastic experience!! Would definitely book again in the future.
