Welcome to The Acorn, your lakeside getaway on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes—one of Minnesota’s premier destinations for summer and fall.
The Acorn embodies the way lake life is meant to be—mornings with coffee in the sunroom, afternoons on the sandy beach or exploring clear waters of the Whitefish Chain, and evenings gathered on the deck or around the firepit as the sun sets. Guests say it’s where their best memories of Minnesota summers are made.

This 4,000sq. ft. lake home offers four king bedrooms, a loft, bunk space, and four full bathrooms, giving everyone the comfort of space to spread out. The main floor layout is large enough for everyone to gather, yet full of cozy corners like the sunroom or the downstairs game room where kids and adults find their own rhythm. The fully stocked kitchen makes family meals a joy, large pellet and gas grills to prepare meals while enjoying the outdoors and the high-quality furnishings throughout ensure the home feels inviting from the moment you arrive.

Outside, the setting is just as welcoming. A gentle walk to your private sandy beach makes access to the water effortless for all ages. Spend time exploring several nearby islands with kayaks and paddleboards, or lounging on the wrap-around deck with lake views. The outdoor firepit (firewood provided) is quintessential north woods entertainment and becomes the heart of the evening—where s’mores, stories, and starlit skies make lasting memories.

Being on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes means you have direct access to one of Minnesota’s most premier destinations. Rent a boat or pontoon from a nearby marina, or let a guide like Walleyedan pick you up at the dock for a day of fishing for walleye, panfish, or northern pike. Off the water, the area offers public golf courses, biking trails, and family-friendly adventures for every pace.

When it’s time to head out during your stay, Crosslake’s best are no more than 5 minutes away. Enjoy the local scene, live music and lakefront dining at Moonlite Bay, craft cocktails at Ox Lake Tavern, or northern Minnesota staples like Rafferty’s Pizza, Zorbaz, and the Yellow House Ice Cream shop.

Whether you’re gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or simply looking for the perfect place to experience summer and fall in Minnesota, The Acorn brings together space, comfort, and location in a way few homes can.

    This beautiful home was perfect for our family of 14. Amazing sun room, large wrap around deck with plenty of seating and a good combination of sun & shade. Nice quiet lake was perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding & swimming on the sandbar nearby. Quick access to the other lakes on the Whitefish chain for great fishing. The host provided so many extras, like great books for the kids, games, puzzles, toys & outdoor games. Large outdoor fire pit with plenty of chairs. Big comfortable beds with extra pillows. Great attention to every little detail! Also very quick to respond to any questions. Highly recommend this property!

    We enjoyed this spacious home with several sitting rooms, a kid friendly basement, a well equipped kitchen and yard with great lake access. Close to everything Crosslake has to offer! The host communicated well and didn’t leave anything to question. Would highly recommend this home.

    Spent 4 nights with some friends for golf and to celebrate a 50th Birthday. This place was great! Awesome, quiet location for some relaxation after a day on the links. The house was more than big enough to accommodate our group of 8. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking to spend some time in the Crosslake area.

    We loved the house. There was plenty of room to sneak away and read a boom. The lower level had a bunch of TVs to watch 3 different sports games while playing pool. The deck was great. The dock was perfect. The owners provided kayaks and paddle boards. The lake was beautiful and there was a beach. The owners were very responsive. We had an issue with the washing machine and they sent a plumber at 9pm to fix it. I could go on but you get the point. This is a spot you won’t forget!

    We had a fantastic stay at the Acorn. The home was well cared for, had everything we needed and more! I have rented several properties from VRBO and other sites. This one had by far was the most clean and equipped property, filled with high end items that you would want at your own home. Plenty of room to cook, sit and visit inside and then access to take advantage of all the Whitefish Chain has to offer on the outside. We brought our own pontoon (must have for exploring the area), but we also really enjoyed fishing off the dock, the paddle boards, kayaks and cornhole set as well. Sarah is an excellent communicator, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Even the neighbors were really friendly, something you don't often see when at a rental property! I could go on and on, but go ahead and rent it and see for yourself!

    Loved the woodsy setting, with direct access to the lake! Also really appreciated being in the smaller Island Lake during days-long rain and wind. Felt sheltered, and we were able to keep our boat in the water during the storms. Easy access to Whitefish Chain, and the city of Crosslake. Appreciated the spacious and well-appointed lower level on rainy days. Effectively 6 sleeping spaces (loft area and lower level bunk beds are without doors). Perfect for three families with small children.

    Excellent property. Plenty of room inside and outside. We brought 2 boats and had a great time. We even enjoyed the games/puzzles in the house during rain and other down times! Definitely would suggest to a friend!

    We stayed at this cabin for our annual multi generation summer gathering. This cabin was spacious. There was enough room for us all to make ourselves comfortable and not be on top of each other. We loved the deck! It was big enough for us all to relax and enjoy our meals together outside. The location was amazing - close to town, but not on a busy part on the lake. Communication with our host was great. She was responsive to all of our inquiries before and during our stay. We look forward to returning next year.

    This home really overdelivers. It's beautifully furnished and on 3 levels so lots of privacy if traveling with friends or family. Can't beat the location for the lake and town. We've been to Crosslake before and will definitely go again. It's a wonderful place to visit. Host was excellent to work with and provide everything you need for a relaxing stay!

    Perfect location to host our family get together. We love Crosslake and being on the chain of lakes, but just off the main traffic area was lovely. This home had plenty of space to spread out as well as a connected main level to be together. We had a few generations and the main floor bedroom had a perfect pocket door to a bathroom for my elderly mother. There were more toys than we could use in the time we visited. We had access to water toys, life jackets, coolers and yard games. The views were lovely and it is our favorite place we have rented for our group of 12. We will return.
