Something for everyone

We had a great stay at this really nice lakefront cabin. Hosts were very responsive to any questions, place was the most well-appointed short-term rental I've ever stayed at, and there's something for everyone to do, including hanging out inside the beautiful cabin, on the great patio with jacuzzi, on the dock, paddling the lake, heading into town for food/drinks/shopping, city park playground for kids, or biking/hiking/fishing at Cuyuna. Great spot.

Home away from home!

Kelly and Tim were great hosts! We were all extremely happy and honored to be their first booking! The cabin was immaculate and the hot tub just steps from the patio door was an amazing way to relax! The cabin had everything needed for our weekend plus more; it felt like our home away from home! We are looking forward to our next stay with Kelly and Tim!

Cabin Paradise

I just spent 3 nights at the most beautiful cabin. It really is prettier than the pictures. A little context about my trip- I am a woman in her early 30s who needed a little getaway from work and school. This was my first time going and staying somewhere alone for days in a row. I want to express how incredibly SAFE I felt on the property. The area was very nice, quiet, and welcoming. I had absolutely no troubles taking the cover off and on the hot tub by myself. The salt water hot tub was one of the big selling points for me. It was cold and rainy during most of my stay, but the hot tub was still so enjoyable. Kelly and Tim are the most amazing hosts and go out of their way to accommodate and make sure I was all took care of the whole time. The coffee bar was impressive. The area is also beautiful. Was able to find some pretty trails near by. There was some really good restaurant options between Crosby and Brainerd/Baxter. I'd say this little trip exceeded my expectations for my first solo trip. I will definitely be back, and I cannot wait :)

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Bonasera

Host profile image
We moved to the Cuyuna area during COVID and absolutely love it here! My husband Tim and I met 31 years ago at the serpent in Crosby park while learning to scuba dive. We have always love this area and decided this would be a great place to retire. The popular mountain biking, ATV and Snowmobile trails make this area a year round adventure zone. We were fortunate to purchase a property on Serpent Lake which sits in the heart of it all. We have a large family and many amazing close friends that we built a cabin for on our property. When not in use, we decided to rent it out to share the joy of this amazing area with others.

Why they chose this property

It's close to everything!
85+ miles of level 1-5 Mountain Biking Trails (1.5 miles to park entrance).
ATV, Snowmobiling, Snow shoeing and cross country ski trails are all in abundance in the area.
Brewery's, wine bars, craft cocktails and a distillery all close by.
New big SuperOne grocery and liquor store is only 2-3 miles away.
4 nearby golf courses, numerous restaurants and shops.
Fishing, Boating, jet skiing and a variety of other water sports.
3 water parks and a zoo in nearby Brainerd area and so much more!

What makes this property unique

Our cabin was built mainly by Tim with the help of friends and family from time to time. The design idea was a lot of Kelly's inspiration. The exterior siding and some of the wood finishes on the inside make this cabin really special. We used a technique called Shou Sugi Ban on the siding where you char it to make it look burnt. This process makes it naturally rodent, insect and waterproof. It's also supposed to last up to 80 years!
