Cozy in the wintertime, too, as it is heated by a gas fireplace & electric heat.

Terrace/patio
Capacity for 2, but would be lovely for a 1-person retreat to read and rest.
FREE: You may use my kayaks for this lake, or I have also a canoe if you prefer.

About this property

Boathouse on the Lake

*ON THE WATER. * 4.3 miles to CUYUNA BIKE TRAILS. * 2.2 miles to (2) different golf courses. PENINSULA PRIVACY. Close to HEARTLAND HOCKEY CAMP. Private apple orchard. Loons nesting on property. Close to restaurants, shops, but yet private and peaceful. GREAT swimming lake with raft and water toys. Cozy one bedroom boathouse on Hamlet Lake. Inside, a queen bed, bathroom/shower, fireplace, and air conditioning. Free Kayaks available for use on Hamlet Lake. Free wood for bonfires. 25 private acres abutting a creek on one side, hard sand bottom swimming lake on the other side.

The boathouse was built in 1946, and is right on the edge of shore. My house is not too far away, but we are not often home so you’ll have good privacy. Welcome!!!!

RoKu TV if you have a hotspot but WiFi is expected in by 6/1/23. Most guests come to a retreat like setting to relax, and I have available many recreational amenities free to use and explore ( and they do!). 26 acres of private acres, boathouse is directly on the lake, which is one of the cleanest in Crow Wing County. Plus we’re near the Cuyuna bike trails Deerwood access. My boathouse is from 1946, and grandfathered in, so some changes are not allowed, such as a bathtub or change in dimensions. There is a shower, standard sized toilet, sink vanity that was part of the boathouse before building restrictions changed a number of years ago. A mini-fridge does not have a freezer, but I have many smaller appliances such as burner/oven/microwave/fry pan/ and other amenities. I have a freezer in the garage guests can use if requested ahead of time. You may use my little gas grill or a charcoal grill. I live on a peninsula, and one side is sugar sand swim area. Wild meadow flowers and an undeveloped shoreline. The peninsula has wildflowers and is completely undeveloped, and a narrow path on the narrow peninsula. My house is on the property, but you will have peace and privacy because I’m seldom home or if I am, I’m usually inside reading a book. Come enjoy quiet lake living! Coming in 2024 WIFI.

Quiet and beautiful!

The boathouse is quiet, clean and peaceful. Checking in was seamless and communication with Sue was as easy as it gets. My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and couldn’t have asked for more! Plenty of things to do in the area or stay on the property and enjoy the kayaks, swimming or relaxing on the docks with a beverage. Will definitely be coming back again!

Great get- a- way right on the lake. Views were fantastic. Lots of windows provided a nice breeze coming in off the lake. Lots of great movies and books provided for relaxing and viewing pleasure. Lots of restaurants nearby and the fun town of Crosby for shopping.

Our week of R&R

The boathouse and property were beautiful. We had everything we needed plus a few extras like fresh raspberries and apple trees to enjoy. We visited the local bike trails, restraunts and mini golf. We did a lot of fishing and enjoyed the sights and sounds of being literally on watersededge.

Relax at the Lake

This is our second time staying here. We love the peacefulness of the place - the opportunity to kayak on the lake and the proximity to plenty to do: bike, eat, shop. We hope to come again next year!

Relaxing getaway

Beautiful location, views, and amenities. I made use of one of the kayaks and appreciated the ease of getting in and out of it at the shoreline. The private dock with chairs was another great way to experience the water and wildlife. I saw muskrat, loons, and fish. 10/10 would recommend.

Peaceful and Relaxing

From our busy life to paradise! We needed to de-stress big time and this location was perfect. The lake was calming and beautiful, the boathouse couldn’t have been better. We woke up and went to bed to lake views and sounds. It was hard to leave…we hope to be back! Host was very accessible and friendly when we had questions.

Didn't want to leave, can't wait to return again!

This was my second time staying here. The property offers a great escape from, well, everything. It is well located just 10 minutes from downtown Crosby full of some great spots! I really enjoy the cozy, quiet feel of the Boathouse. This was my second trip, both of which were in the colder months. It offers great views of the lake, and outstanding sunsets. Everything is comfortable and well maintained. I look forward to trying this out in warmer months.

Peaceful and relaxing getaway

This cabin is exactly what my wife and I wanted. The cabin is directly on the lakefront and the views were immaculate. waking up every morning to the sight of a calm lake never got old. The cabin was neat and tidy with all the amenities we could ask for, the host was friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had. This place deserves all the 5 star praise and more. We will DEFINITELY be back

Nice quick fall getaway

Liked the finishes. Had what I would look for in a cabin - drip coffee maker, kitchen supplies. We had wine at the kitchen island, watched a movie in reclining seats, slept in the queen bed. Swung on the swing with a small fire. Went to nearby Crosy for hike. Left refreshed and happy. Thanks!
