You will love your get away to 'The Lake' when you stay at our cabin, The Boat House, directly on Upper South Long Lake. All the amenities you want mixed with classic cabin comforts like knotty pine interior, quilts, and being lulled to sleep by the loons calling.

The living room addition and connected dining room a provide panoramic view of the lake. The living space features a natural stone gas fireplace, 1 rocking swivel chair, 2 leather recliners, a full couch with 2 recliners, and a 52 high definition TV, cable connected. The dining room has a full size table with 6 chairs.

The kitchen and bath are fully updated. Two generous sized bedrooms plus a separate den sleep 6 comfortably.

Great private lot with huge shade trees, large yard for yard games, and 200 feet of private lakeshore. The lakeside deck includes a dining table with chairs, and glider. Such a great spot for reading, an afternoon nap, watching the loons, a memorable meal, and catching a glorious sunset.

Enjoy the day swimming, boating (canoe is provided), and fishing right off your private dock. Bring along your own boat and waterskiing, wakeboarding, drifting in the sun, and serious fishing are yours. Please note that the dock is out of the lake from around October 1st to around May 15th - check with us if the dock is important to you.

Evening bonfires, roasted marshmallows, shore lunch, the call of the loons, and a lake full of fun will all become a part of your family memories.

While our place is very private it is just a short walk to a local bar and restaurant to enjoy a beer and great burger.

We are just a few miles east of Brainerd for shopping, antiques, and nightlife. Enjoy all the sites, attractions, golf and restaurants in the Brainerd Lakes area! Lake Mille Lacs is a few miles away.

    Property was very nice. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room and dining room area. Lot is very wide for a lake lot with trees on both sides to provide privacy from the neighbors. Brought our boat and had a great time on the lake. Visited the nearby resort / bar and grill, which is only about 3 or 4 blocks away. The food there is surprisingly good and reasonably priced. Overall it was a great trip.

    Overall it was a great place to stay. There was plenty of room for all of us. The only drawback was that I felt the beds/mattress could be updated and that the living room rug smelled a bit like a wet dog(needs a shampooing maybe) and adding a dehumidifier would be nice as it was sort of damp feeling when using living room furniture. Overall it was a really great experience. The convenience of the dock and fire pit as well as the open yard for our dog to run around was great.

    We were last minute planners. Wanted to get out of the heat dome and have a change of scene. Some peace and quiet. This charming cabin fit the bill! We enjoyed our time playing Yahtzee by the lake and cruising around to the local restaurants. We were surprised we could survive without a smart tv but enjoyed the selection of dvds! We also enjoyed a little campfire and appreciated the well split firewood! Our first time to the MN lakes- we understand their beauty and need for DEET Thank you for being such nice hosts!

    The cabin has very nice furnishings, comfortable chairs and sofa in living room, comfortable beds. The finishings high quality. Nice big treed lot. We enjoyed the firepit and swimming. Not a sandy beach, but water was clear and clean, not weedy. We got more rain than we ordered on this trip, but we would come back.

    We had a wonderful time at the cabin. We really enjoyed floating in the lake. The water is really nice. The yard is big for outdoor games. It got warm in the bedrooms at night. Temps outside where almost 90. Glad we came.

    Nicely appointed cabin on a beautiful lake. Local bar and grill a short walk from cabin which had live music. Took the canoe out a couple times. All appliances worked well, gas grill was good for the steaks, all amenities were as described.

    This house is so well positioned - back from the shore of the lack in the trees - giving privacy and easy lake access. The lake was pretty clear and great for a swim. The house is well-equipped and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

    We had a lovely trip. The cabin was clean, quiet, and private. We enjoyed time at the lake, games, puzzles and campfires. My son spent hours and hours fishing off the dock and caught lots of fish. There was a loon family that spent time every day near the dock and there was an eagle family nearby that we watched flying and fishing. It was a great time. Everything we needed was supplied. I would highly recommend staying here.

    Loved the privacy and quiet of cabin setting. The lake was clean but had rocky, uneven bottom that was difficult to walk on and filled with weeds. Cabin was well stocked.

    We had a lovely 4 night family stay. The cabin was a perfect, quiet retreat. We loved walking down to the private dock to fish, swim, launch our kayak, or lay in the sun. It was an easy walk to the Paradise Pub for a couple of our dinners. We had a few meals in Brainerd and Baxter. We used the puzzles and games during our down time while enjoying some AC. The owners have clear communication for reservations and checking out. Thanks for sharing your peaceful place to add to our family experiences.

    We had a wonderful stay at The Boat House. Tom and Linda have a well- stocked cabin that provides everything you need to feel like you're home away from home. We enjoyed the private yard, fires with smores and lake time. We spent our days fishing, paddling and swimming. Thanks again!!
