Family vacation

This is a great property!! We have stayed at several different properties in the Brainerd area, this was by far the best! Beautiful cabin, plenty of room for the whole family. There were 16 of us, ages 9 months to 92. Flat lot for all our games and competitions. Sand beach for the young kids to build sand castles. Water was warm and extremely clear compared to other lakes in the area. Owners were very responsive when we had any questions. Will definitely be returning!!

Wonderful Crosslake Home

We had a wonderful time at Ivy Lane. We are a multigenerational family of 15, ages 1 to 69. There was ample space for everyone to gather for meals and socializing/games. There are more than enough beds with the amazing bunk room. The gradual access to the sandy beach and swimming area are wonderful. The hosts, The Olsen’s, are great. They respond quickly to all questions and were very helpful. This is our 7th year and we’ve already reserved for next year!

This home gives us the space we need for our large extended family to gather with all the needed amenities. The sand beach is great for our little ones to play and the dock is perfect for our two boats and dock fishing.

Family lake vacation

The house is situated on a beautiful part of the lake facing a nature park and the first part of a cove which was perfect for kids kayaking. There was a nice small beach, the water was crystal clear and shallow for several feet making it great for swimming kids. There were no sand toys provided and we forgot ours unfortunately. The house seemed bigger than described, the bunk room for the kids was enormous with little reading lights for each bed. The kitchen was very nice, the pots were old, but ok, we felt we had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and heard the loons every night! Overall great place to stay with a large family, we would definitely go back!

This place is just great. Perfect for a large family group. Indoor and outdoor spaces are plentiiful. Never used the beach and dock, but it is shallow for a perfect spot for kids to swim and play. We will book this again.

Beautiful Property

We had a relaxing, enjoyable stay in this beautiful lake home. Host was very responsive when we had any questions and even walked us through getting the Thursday night football game on! Lots of comfy seating in the living room. Laundry room on both floors was really convenient! Large kitchen island was great for serving/prepping food and extra fridge in the garage came in handy. Lovely patio with comfy furniture and a little solo stove for those who don’t want to wander down to the lakeside fire pit. A couple notes: the bbq grill hadn’t been cleaned in awhile and we had a grease fire that nearly ruined our steaks. Clean before you use it. The bedding, including some pillows, is worn and needs replacing. Lighting in bedrooms is quite dim. These are small issues and would not effect our recommending this lovely lake home.

We had 8 adults and 4 kids (ages 2-11), this place was perfect. There was so much space, it never felt crowded. From a fully equipped kitchen to board games and sand toys, we were in need of nothing! The sandy beach and shallow shore were great for playing and floating. Overall, a wonderful stay!
