Peaceful Getaway
We stayed at Pine Cone Cottage for a much needed getaway. It was perfect! Sandy was very accommodating and friendly. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Sitting by the water, watching water fowl was so relaxing. Seeing the northern lights was a plus! We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful property
We had a great time at the Pine Cone Cottage. It is a beautiful property with a lot of wildlife! We were greeted by deer each time we came and went on the driveway, and some wild turkeys checked out the trunk of our car while packing up to leave. The property is not nearly as secluded/private as advertised with the host's home closer than my next-door neighbor in town. Sandy was kind and respectful so this wasn't a huge deal - we were just very surprised by this. The home was clean and had everything we needed for a weekend to get away for a re-charge.

Very peaceful
We really enjoyed the quiet & the view. We saw so many birds & there's a local beaver that comes by along the shoreline a couple times a day! We even got to watch the Perseid meteor shower from the dock.

Perfect retreat in nature
The cabin is exactly as pictured — cozy and perfectly appointed. Sandy was BEYOND responsive to my questions! Every night I would open all the windows and listen to the sounds of nature, including owls and loons. Sitting in front of the “nature lake” and appreciating the swans … having the blue heron fly immediately behind me, so close I could hear its wings … sitting on the dock overlooking the lake … it was truly a magical visit. Highly recommend.

Nice cottage
The Pine Cone Cottage is a private, comfortable cabin with complete kitchen and large living room. Great views from the living room with frequent loon sightings. The owner, Sandy is great to work with. If you're looking for a nice one bedroom cottage on a small lake this is the place.

Perfect late summer get away!
Pine Cone Cottage was the perfect stay for a late summer get away! Everything met all of my expectations and more. Sandy was a wonderful host and made things so easy from check in to check out...and the cottage is beautiful. Loved the lake and spending the day in Nisswa. Great seafood boil at B Merri's in Brainerd. Definitely looking forward to coming back again!.

Cozy Pine Cone Cottage
The property was very clean and beautifully decorated; such attention to detail. The owner, Sandy, was so welcoming and sweet. Despite the rain, we had a great fall getaway to recharge and refresh. The small little towns surrounding the Merrifield/Brainard area were so fun to explore and enjoy local art and delicacies. A wonderful trip in a wonderful space!

We're planning our next visit here!!!
The cabin was lovely, private, and very comfortable. We didnt find a thing we felt was missing. The lake was small but loaded with fish. There was a beaver family living close that we watched from the deck. We built a campfire in a wonderful stone fire ring and listened to the loons under the stars. The host was the best; available, kind, and accommodating. We truly enjoyed our visit.

Nice Location, Comfortable Cottage
Small, but cozy cottage in a quiet town. There are not many properties around, so there is plenty of privacy. Sandy takes great care of the cottage. Everything was very clean when we arrived. The fishing was good. We caught some nice 4+ pound bass on topwater lures in the lily pads. We saw lots of wildlife, including loons, red squirrels, deer, bald eagles, and a beaver! Overall a great getaway. We will be back!
