Hosts were super responsive and there were so many activities to do at the lake. Home was clean and my family really enjoyed staying here for the week!
It was a great place to stay. Kids enjoyed the paddle boat and kayak's the beach was a hit with our group. Spent the nights by the fire pit even got to see a black bear checking out the place!!
What a lovely home and property! Perfect spot for young kids to play at the sandy beach and in the shallow water. Great layout with big family gathering areas. Very quiet and private lake close downtown Crosslake. Highly recommend!
Duck Lake is shallow but clear, perfect for kayaking and little kids. Great beach!
Nearby Cross Lake and all of the other connected Lakes are awesome. So much fun!
Thank you!
We enjoyed our weeklong stay at Duck Lake. We were a family of four with grandparents and we had plenty of room and things to do. The house was spacious and clean and very accommodating. We had an issue with the WiFi but the owners were super responsive. Highly recommend this place that’s near Crosslake but not in the crazy mix of giant lake houses. Duck lake was smaller and peaceful, even for 4th of July weekend.
We loved this home. The open hang out area and the beach were the highlights. We were two families both with children and had a wonderful time. The home is well equipped with kitchen stuff and lots of room for pantry items. The second fridge was nice for drinks etc. beds were comfortable. Overall we have stayed at several VRBO and this was one of our favorites. We have already booked for next year!
The response from the owners was impeccable. The cabin had pretty much everything one would need: beach toys, beach towels, kayaks, and a kitchen with incredible amounts of storage and just about every item you'd need. The kids had a blast on the sandy beach with all the beach toys. Thank you!
This house was a perfect location for our family vacation. It was spacious for all of us to spread out. And the house was so thoughtfully set up for guests. We truly felt like we were guests in the owner's home. Lots of kitchen supplies, storage containers for leftovers, spices. They even had bug spray, fly swatters, and a cooler if we needed to use it. The lake was so serene and the beach was relaxing. If a family has little kids there would be no fighting over beach toys-they have tons! Would go there again in a heartbeat.
For the 2nd year in a row, we traveled to Duck Lake for our summer vacation. And just like last year, great all the way around.
1. AJ and Amanda (owners) are awesome. They communicate and they care about your trip!
2. Pictures are a perfect representation of the property. Plenty of space for families and kids. Clean and well stocked for cooking, family night movies/games, etc.
3. Location is awesome. You have your own beach area, part of the lake, firepit, deck overlooking the lake, grill, and yard area to play. Plenty of toys for kids and adults, both in and out of the water. Plus, you are literally 10 minutes to the grocery store, hardware store, gas, boat rental on the Whitefish Chain, golf, shopping, etc.
We will certainly be back!
This was the perfect location for our family getaway. Our kids loved all of the swimming, fishing, and water shenanigans they were able to take part in during out 3-night stay. If you like peace and privacy, this is a great place to stay.
We stayed here with grandma and grandpa and our family of 4. Loved that the one bedroom on the main level was a little separated from the upper rooms so grandma and grandpa could have their own private space away from our noisy kids!Everything we needed was provided at the house, and appreciated being able to use the water toys as well as having access to a whole bin of beach toys! Fishing was great- caught pike every day. Short drive in to town and great location. Would absolutely recommend to others!
We were very pleased with the property. We particularly loved the fire pit area, the wood supply and the beach. We enjoyed the paddle boat and the kayaks. Very private on a beautiful lake. The house was comfortable for all of us and well stocked with anything we needed.
This property was just as beautiful as the photos. The cabin was spacious and welcoming. It was our first vacation with our grandkids and it was everything we were hoping for. The kids loved the private sandy beach, all the outdoor toys, large campfire space, and the paddle boat & kayaks.
We had an amazing time!! We loved having the private beach and our kids thought it was great!! We took full advantage of the paddle boat, canoe, and kayaks! The cabin itself was spacious and lovely. The kitchen was well-stocked, we loved having a huge dining room table, and the living room couch was sooooooooo comfortable. We loved drinking our coffee and looking out on the lake every morning. Overall, we had a 10/10 experience and would love to come back!!
We had a great time, the property was beautiful! Only downside was the goose poo outside near the lake but we all know sometimes that just can’t be avoided :) the lake and home were both very clean
This was a great location for our group of adults and children. We loved having access to the kayaks, the great fire pit, the sandy beach area, and toys for the kids. The location is on a private lake and it was very quiet, which we loved. We went into Crosslake for ice cream and there are nearby restaurants, if desired. We had a great stay!
We had a great time with three families at the cabin! The beach is great and the kids played in it everyday. Property was well taken care of and very clean. Location is quiet but also quick to get to activities - perfect Northern MN location. Would stay here again!
