10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (290)
"This place was perfect for our Mother’s Day weekend. It is appealing from the moment you pull into the driveway. The cabin is nested in its natural surroundings as if it were always there. The large windows give spectacular views from all sides. The design and décor make you feel comfortable and relaxed. There is room to play games, ample supplies for preparing meals, and very comfortable beds. The screen porch was the place to watch and listen to the birds as the sun rose each morning. The dock...

"This was our second stay at The Cabin. Everything is as shown in the listing. Actually, the patio chairs are now Adirondack type. The owners are accommodating and make the rental process easy. There was a strong winter storm during our visit, but we still made use of the patio and fire pit after some shoveling. We look forward to coming back again when the lake is not frozen and we can use the pontoon and screened back porch."

"Stayed 3 nights. Enjoyed the birds, seeing the work of the beavers, took the canoe out. Read books sitting on the dock. The lake is small, private and quiet. No loud jet skis and speed boats disrupting your peace and quiet. We watched two DVDs they had on site one night. What a special treat that was. We didn't cook much but the kitchen seemed well stocked. Well stocked bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. Lots of seating options in the living room. The chairs on the deck are comfortable to...

Vintage 1920's Lakefront Red Log Cabin known as "Camp David"
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (59)
"The cabin is cozy and adorable. Close to the lake which is beautiful. The furniture, while old fashioned, was extremely comfortable. We spent a ton of time relaxing on the red couch! Had a few minor issues. The chain in the toilet kept coming loose, causing issues with flushing, and the water pressure in the sink and shower were near nothing. It was also extremely cold in the bedroom, despite us adjusting the heat, and the portable heater in the bedroom did not work. Overall, we seriously...

"We loved our stay on Kimball Lake; we spent a lot of time on the shoreline with my grandchildren enjoying the sand and water. We adults took excursions out on the paddle boards, kayak and canoe.

Peaceful, relaxing location but still close to groceries, restaurants, trails and many things to do in Crosslake/Brainerd area. Highly recommend...
