Totally awesome.

This property has it all. A beautiful home with amazing furnishings, totally stocked kitchen, and I mean totally. 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and plenty of space for 14 people aged 72 to 5 month's. The yard and dock area was perfect and only 2 blocks to Crosby’s Main Street. We had an amazing week.

Location Location Location!

This large house has it all! We had 13 family members & there was plenty of room for everyone, big dining room where we could all fit around the table to dine & play games. Great fishing for the kids off the dock. Just blocks from town where we found wonderful places to dine. And best of all, just minutes from the Cuyuna Bike trails! We hope to stay here again. Thank you!

Mansion like property

This is a very unique property with a mansion like feel. It is a stay in a stately like setting in an older home with many large rooms that have much character. The setting on Serpent Lake with its pristine clear water provided for fair fishing, pontooning, swimming, lawn activities and with quick access to the large variety of downtown shops. Our family rated this VRBO as one of our top favorites.

50th Birthday Gathering

This house is amazing! We had the best 50th birthday weekend! Chris was an excellent host with great communication and flexibility. The house was huge, very clean, packed with games, movies and books. Plenty of seating in the common areas. The upstairs bathrooms were fully remodeled and absolutely fantastic. We were able to enjoy the lakefront views, a couple of pontoon adventures and have a campfire every night. Renting the pontoon from Chris was a breeze! Don’t be intimidated…it was a beautiful boat with plenty of seating, super easy to operate, and the lake was beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to make a couple fantastic meals. Chris also went above and beyond by adding a “help yourself “ sign to drinks, coffee and condiments. He was also so kind to provide us with a welcome basket and snacks upon arrival. Everything was so perfect! Definitely one of the best VRBO experiences we have ever had. I can’t forget to mention the location of this house is also so perfect! We were able to walk a couple short blocks to the Main Street and enjoy some cocktails together and no one had to worry about driving.
