Quiet, Cozy Lake Cottage North of Merrifield, Great Getaway!

Our long weekend at the cottage was fantastic! It's the perfect size for two adults and two kids, has all the amenities you'll need, and provides the best firewood we've ever had. Sandy is a great host who's there for you when you need her (including mailing bluetooth speakers you dropped under the bed to you!) and off-hands when you're just having a good time. The place strikes the perfect balance between remote peacefulness and accessibility to things to do during the day. Love it!

Wonderful cottage, great host! Quiet, Clean,& Cozy!!We will definitely be back!

Great place to relax and unwind, highly recommed. The cabin is large and very comfortable. Best place I have stayed in a long time.

The cabin is on a very peaceful lake. We really enjoyed the swans, loons, and ducks. The kayaks were fun to use on the lake.

Everything about the Pine Cone is as described! Wonderful peaceful place to relax & enjoy life! Sandy has this place ready for your visit! She has decorated & supplied this cabin with everything necessary to enjoy your stay & the rest is up to you whether it’s relaxing on the deck looking out at the lake, fishing out in the boat, paddling around the lake on the kayaks, or enjoying a fire at night listening to loons & owls! Plenty of attractions close by for those who want to take in shopping, restaurants, brewery, or so many other attraction's! You won’t regret your stay!

Quiet, calm, and relaxing are the words that come to mind when I reflect on our stay at the Pone Cone Cottage. It was everything we needed to recharge from life’s fast pace. Thank you!

We loved our stay at the Pine Cone Cottage. The location was so peaceful, easy to find, close to great restaurants/shops. We appreciated access to the kayak/life preservers as well as the campfire areas. So many places to sit out and enjoy nature. The beds were very comfortable. Sandy was an amazing host. We would definitely come back here again!

Perfect Retreat! CLEAN! Such a quiet & calming place for my little ones! They loved the sunrise & sunset paddleboat rides!

This property was just what our family was looking for. We have a 6 and 2 year old and it was perfect for them. Sandy is a great host. We will visit this property again.

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!

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.

What I love most about my stay was the relaxed, quiet atmosphere. A perfect place to unwind after a busy summer hosting children's enrichment camps. Loved my time and everything was perfect!

very nice cabin 3 city blocks off the main road, located close to small towns , very clean, all the comforts of home, sandy was a gem

Great spot on a quiet lake. Just what we needed to reconnect.

We loved the beautiful clear water and seeing loons and eagles daily. The cottage was clean and worked well for us. I would recommend bringing any spices you need with you, if you plan to cook while there, and coffee if you’re a coffee drinker. Otherwise, it had everything we needed. Our host was kind and helpful, and lives next door.

If you’re goal is to enjoy all that nature has to offer, or if you just want to visit small towns read a book and drink tea, either way Pinecone Cottage is a great place to stay. Sandy, whose residence is next door, was very accommodating, helping us out with suggestions for local activities and resources. The paddle boat is an excellent way to explore the lake or even fish from. We also rented the motorboat, which was in great shape and easy to use. The cabin is centrally located making trips into Nisswa, Pequot Lakes, or Crosslakes equally accessible. If you need larger city accommodations, Brainerd isn’t far either. Overall highly recommend Pinecone Cottage and would definitely rebook.

This cozy cottage has everything you need. I stayed for 5 nights and never really left. Cooked all my meals there. There's a nice gas grill and a charcoal grill. It was so quiet and peaceful, the only thing you hear is nature. Sandy is very accommodating and responsive to any of your needs. This is the perfect place if you're looking to relax and unwind and enjoy 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.

Wonderful, quiet get away!!!!!!

The property was all about norther Minnesota's forest and lake beauty. I came to a gracious and warm welcome. Sandy answered all my questions and gave me a clear tour. Everything I wanted/needed was here! The quiet, the stars, the lake breeze, the comfort and style of this place immediately made me feel welcome and at home. I want to return! I will need it!

Great time , a beautiful cabin tastefully decorated. Very clean. I hope to book another visit.
