Perfect Getaway
Perfect location for our anniversary, just like the sign inside says, small but nice. Had everything we needed. Had a great bonfire on the lake. Caught fish off the dock. Was very close to town. Comfortable bed. Eating area overlooking lake was spectacular. Hosts were very easy to work with and communicated well.

Stayed early October
See click reviews above. Just wanted to add the online site was accurate. The porch was more roomy then I thought from the photo. Some may have difficulty going. To th other side of the queen bed if they have mobility issues.

Great Couples Getaway
Great property! We stayed here for a wedding that was down the street, and made a little weekend out of it. The size of the property was perfect for 2 people. We loved the screened in porch and little beach area. Also was great to have the options of kayaks to use! Would love to return in the future!

Perfect fall getaway
A beautiful and cozy cabin right on the lakeshore. We took advantage of cool nights to have a fire on the lakeshore under the stars. Perfect front porch for morning coffee. Great location: close to everything. Will definitely return!

Crosslake Relaxing Fun
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Boat House. It was our first visit and the smaller size was a prefect fit for my wife and I. A typical day started with coffee overlooking the lake, daily walks, and plenty of lake time with the boat. We enjoyed the smaller lake setting and the calming sounds of loon each evening. Thank you for sharing this place with us.

Adorable boat house
We loved our stay at the adorable boat house. We brought our fishing boat and used the access a short distance from the property. We enjoyed sunset cruises and lunch at the lakeside restaurants. The screened in porch is the best! Thanks for letting us enjoy your cute boat house!

Great stay, would go again!
It's a charming cottage right over the water, very quiet, clean and peaceful. Close to restaurants (few minutes by car) but really nice just for hanging out. Would recommend for sure!

Cozy, nicely appointed.
This place was small, but clean and nicely decorated. Only downside would be no bathroom in lower level, but since I was alone, it didn’t affect me. I’ll be back.

Great spot.
Nice spot off the main lake(s). Small quiet lake protected from heavy traffic and wind for those with boats. Close to everything in town. The Boathouse was perfect for our small family. Watch your head in short doorways.

Great location! Cozy cabin!
Five of us stayed at the Boathouse and had a great time. The location was great. Loon Lake was an awesome spot, quiet and protected from crazy wind. We brought our boat and it was fun exploring the Whitefish Chain. The cabin is small but cozy and very well decorated and stocked. Highly recommend!
