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. ![Beautiful lake from the paddleboat](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7c174ab5-1f0c-4e47-9010-1def1db62ebe-1753892963930.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lots of family game time around the table!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4755e12f-83dc-475e-9270-547516766695-1753893295152.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Laura Y.

We felt very much at home, and the host family generously invited us to help ourselves to whatever was available. Greg responded immediately when there was a problem with the fridge.

We had seven family members and there was plenty of room for everybody. The cabin was just as advertised, no surprises. We enjoyed our time kayaking, paddleboarding and just sitting in the water soaking in the sun. There is ample yard space to play yard games too. The cabin is located on a quiet lake and quiet road so our time there was very peaceful. There was plenty of water inflatables provided and generous amounts of coffee, spices and condiments we could use. I highly recommend Gregg's cabin for a nice getaway. ##### Joe S.

Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leon L. Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a64fbe8f-2f94-4da7-add6-90729cb2b1a0-1755035369418.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Leon L.

The kids (and adults!) really enjoyed the lake toys- Lilly pad, 3 kayaks, paddle boat, paddle boards and floats! Plenty to keep us ALL entertained while enjoying g the lake! We did some fishing and caught a few perch, bullheads and a northern! The home was more than enough space for us to sleep comfortably and enjoy meals together! Definitely recommend this property. The only small con was that after a day on the lake, there was only enough hot water for one of us to take a warm shower. We did quick rinses the rest of our stay- and that was just fine for us. ##### Stacy P.

The house was very comfortably set up for our group of 7. We enjoyed Duck Lake, and liked the secret path to Cross Lake even more. At Cross Lake the swimming and fishing were just terrific. The owners both rent and use this property, so their personal belongings are here and there but not in an discomforting way. There was plenty of shade on sunny days. And ways to find sun if you wanted it. The fire pit area was wonderful. Kitchen had everything we needed. ##### Deb S.
