Great stay on O'Brien Lake. The kids and dogs enjoyed swimming and snorkeling in the clear water, and playing on the Lilly Pad right at the dock. Caught a couple nice fish on the lake. Great stay!

We had a wonderful week at your cabin. We had beautiful weather so we enjoyed taking the pontoon out on the lake, floating in the water, going for walks and sitting on the deck looking at the lake. We will definitely be coming back!

Perfect Memorial Day weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday stay on Lake O’Brien. Weather was amazing, and the pontoon boat availability was a huge bonus. Our son loved the paddleboard and we capped off each evening with a great campfire. Thank you Chris and Steve!

Great cabin
The cabin was clean and fit our families needs. We had a blast on the pontoon and Chris was very responsive with any questions we had. The lake was a bit weedier than we would have liked so we swam off the pontoon.

Stay at Lake O'Brien
We enjoyed our short stay! Accommodations are very nice, comfy furniture, great TV for watching the U.S. Open Tennis! Well-equipped kitchen. Beautiful view, night sky magnificent and breathtaking. We relished the cozy, quiet retreat. Loved watching the pair of loons. Chris was very prompt and friendly in responding to any questions. Would definitely return.

Comfortable cabin
The cabin was clean & comfortable. The area was so pretty. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked including a variety of spices. The lake was clean & clear. And surprisingly quiet. The lily pad was a hit. The pontoon so lovely. Nearly every cast off the dock produced a sunny or a perch which thrilled our 6 y o grandson & kept his daddy busy…when he wasn’t untangling the 4 y o’s line! Exactly as listed. Would recommend. Thanks Chris!

Such a wonderful week that always goes too fast. Lake is not a "busy" one with tons of boats. Dock and deck are so wonderful to just sit and relax the day away. Fishing is successful too!

Birthday get away
We enjoyed the cabin and the area. The cabin was comfortable and had everything we could possibly need for our stay, actually more amenities than most other rental properties we have stayed in. A big plus was the pontoon. It was a very nice boat for it being a rental. Fishing on the lake was good, all varieties of fish. Campfires at night were a nice relaxing end to each day. Crosslake was a cute little town that was was only a few minutes away. The large grocery store was a plus as well as cute shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.

can't say enough about this place!
We had a WONDERFUL time at this property & hope to go back again sometime. Even w/only 1 bathroom we all survived just right; never a cold shower for any of the eight of us. Perfectly located right on the lake; kids had fun w/lilypad, playing in water was endless; even went out to sandbar. Kitchen properly supplied w/pots/pans, etc. lots of great storage for everyone. Downstairs bedroom was a hit w/the kids (bunkbeds). Really liked having not only a living room upstairs but the one downstairs was really nice to for an escape. loved the large deck & variety of chairs all over; including by the firepit. Thanks for a wonderful time!

2nd year
We love this property! We booked last year and knew we would be interested in coming back. The neighbors are all very friendly and quiet. We were worried with the 4th that it would be a week of fireworks, but it was limited to the city’s celebration and the following night a house across the lake. Chris is always very good with communication. We had some issues with the well and no water, but we kept Chris informed and he did get someone to come look at it the day we were checking out. House was clean and loaded with all the things you need so you aren’t hauling everything! One thing to consider in the future would be a retractable baby gate on the deck for small kids and maybe something in the upstairs railing due to spacing. Our oldest is expecting and that would be a consideration next year. Don’t think twice, great place to stay!
