The Lake House in Crosby has everything you need for a wonderful week at the Lake. You will enjoy 100 feet of lake shore, fishing and swimming right off the dock, a large fire pit, swim platform, + paddle boat. There is a main dock and a guest dock (for fishing and tying a boat to). A gas grill is available on the lake-side patio and a fully stocked kitchen.

The Lake House has a fabulous lay out for your next gathering. 5 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms. Sleeps 12. Two main floor bedrooms, 3 bedrooms upstairs. Main floor laundry. Large 3-season porch overlooking the lake. You can enjoy sunrise + sunset over the lake.

Walk into town. The Lake House is minutes away from the Cuyuna Brewery, Hardwater Cocktail Bar, Iron Range Eatery, Northwoods Cafe, Red Raven Coffee, Mixed Company Coffee, Rafferty's Pizza, Drunken Noodle, Victual, Trailside Tavern, Cuyuna Outfitters, Memorial park, public beach, antique stores, the library, a museum, yoga studio, churches, and MORE.

Winter at the Lake. Beautiful + cozy. Wood burning fireplace (inside). Walk or cross country ski on the lake. Snowmobiling. Ice fishing. Fat tire biking. Movie nights (3 smart TV's) or games + puzzles.

Perfect!
Our family had a wonderful vacation! The cabin was just perfect for our growing family! We enjoyed Serpent Lake! (We brought a boat and jet skis!) The boat launch is real close by! We biked, played at the park, and enjoyed going to town for ice cream! We also tried a few restaurants and had amazing food!

Making memories
Our family loves everything about staying at the Cozy Lake Home. Spending time in and on the lake, going for walks into town, bike riding, and just enjoying the beautiful home. We had 6 adults, and six kids, and it worked perfect. We definitely made lasting memories with our kids and grandkids!

Another Great Week @ the Lake
This was our third summer staying at the lake home on Serpent in Crosby. We love what the cabin and the property offer; great yard, water, fishing, boating, walking distance to town and biking distance to bike trails (paved and dirt). This will always be our favorite place, so many memories created over the years! Thank you for sharing your home T & M!

Our group of 5 adults and 4 children (ages 2 to 9 years) had a wonderful long biking weekend with this home as our main base. The house had everything we needed for our stay, was very conveniently located and the owners were fast to respond to any questions. Would definitely stay again!

Lake home
The house is very clean and fresh!! We appreciate the owners providing young living cleaning products ! The attention to details clearly states the owners care about their guest stay! The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and then some! The beds are very comfortable with high quality bedding a definite plus!!! The grounds are perfect for yard games! The paddle boat was a great addition with life jackets for the little ones. My 5 yr. Old grand daughter was excited to fish for the first time and caught many sunnies and bass right of the dock! Serpent park- a 2 min. Drive is the best little treasure! The kids love the unique playground! Main street is a short walk away! Victuals IS A MUST !!! with the finest cheeses and the best homemade ice-cream!!! We look foward to a return vacation!

Family Vacation
We recently spent a week at this lovely property with our 3 adult children and 2 young grandchildren. The house and property served our needs perfectly, with plenty of room for cooking, eating, sleeping and enjoying the outdoors. Was very pleasantly surprised to discover an over abundance of towels, which was so appreciated. Within walking distance of the town of Crosby and the city park, and a short bike ride to get on a bike trail. We hope to make this a bi-annual event. Only one suggestion is a clothes line strung between a couple of trees would have been nice for drying towels and so forth. Thanks again for the wonderful accommodations and outstanding communication. Elizabeth and John

Great Bike Trails!
We came to the area to use the bike trails and were not disappointed in the bike trails, nor the beautiful home where we stayed. The house was very clean, had plenty of space for our family to sleep, eat, and move around during our stay. My only suggestions to anyone staying here would be to make sure and bring napkins and paper towels, and a space heater for the porch if you are coming during a cool time of the year. They provided a beginning supply of paper towels, which was very much appreciated, but they ran out quickly and we needed to run to the store for more. We look forward to rebooking at this home again!

Beautiful home on a lovely lake.
This house is incredibly. Lovely and comfortable. Very quiet location and just a couple of blocks from the town center. Way. Offer than we needed for two people but we enjoyed it immensely. The only problem we had was accessing the entry code on VRBO, apparently an app problem. But the owners were swift in responding and getting us the code. I grew up in Crosby but it has sure changed. Good food and increasingly interesting shops and of course the beautiful bike trails.

Best week of summer!
This was our second week at The Lake House and it couldn’t have been better. The house is set up so perfectly, fully stocked with everything needed to stay organized, cook up a storm, and relax. The porch is a dream on both sunny and rainy days, and we spent hours out there playing games and reading. The house has many places to spread out for quiet time, and bedrooms are spacious and comfy. Downtown Crosby is just blocks away, and has wonderful restaurants and shops. We brought our own boat and the guest dock is perfect. Our kids love the swimming platform, too — and dozens and fish were caught off the dock. The property is lovely with beautiful pines, shade and fire pit. We can’t wait to come back!

Nobody wanted to leave!
I have stayed at many VRBO places around the world and I can honestly say that this was my favorite. The house has amazing view of the lake, the porch was our favorite place to hang out and there were beds galore. This was the best stocked kitchen ever. Love that they labeled where everything was. The house was so clean that both my sisters ran into a window to the porch, thinking it was an open door. My absolute favorite place was the fire pit. Watching the sunset, a fire roaring and a glass of wine….heaven. The owners were SO nice and always responsive. Would love to stay for a month to enjoy more of the activities that Crosby has to offer. Anybody who doesn’t enjoy this property, probably doesn’t like puppies either.

Great place to stay in Crosby for Mountain Biking at Cuyuna Trails.
House is close to downtown and bike trails, and view of lake is relaxing. Putting green hole in porch made for some great fun. We might recommend better overhead lighting in kitchen. BTW: Good location near local hospital should one get hurt biking!

Most relaxing week ever!
It’s hard to find the right words to summarize the 8 nights we spent at the lake house! The owners thought about everything — the kitchen and laundry were labeled, little notes in the right places. The porch was our favorite — day and night. Tons of space to spread out to read a book or take a nap, or to come together and play games or share a meal. The house was clean and spacious. We loved the Young Living products used to clean — a couple of us are chemically sensitive. The kitchen was so easy and enjoyable to work in. Beds were comfy, bathrooms wonderful. The house is quiet and set off from the road. We loved hearing the loons! Our family are big mountain bikers so we loved being a few blocks from the paved trail and the connector trails. We also walked over the park, grocery store or to eat/drink/get ice cream/shop every day. So convenient to everything. The lakefront has a lovely guest dock for a rental boat (or your own). We also enjoyed the floating swimming dock. We will be back as soon as we can find another opening!

Great stay
We had a great stay here for the week. The lake was really nice and the yard was perfect for kids to run. House was big and the kitchen was well stocked. It did get pretty warm and stuffy in the house in the evenings with just the 2 wall ac units, but they have fans every where, which helped some. Tiffany answered all my questions prior to our stay in a timely manner and was super friendly. We will consider staying again!
