“In the Pines” lives up to its name as it sits nestled within numerous tall pines on the southeast shore of Big Trout Lake (walking distance from Manhattan Beach Lodge). If you’ve been to the Whitefish Chain of lakes, then you know Big Trout is special. The sunsets are unbeatable, and the water is a shade of blue that truly sets it apart (ask the locals they’ll say the same thing).

A completely restored 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom cedar-clad cabin is the perfect getaway for your family (or multi-family) adventure up-north. Enter through the original front door, walk on the original wood floors and feel eighty years of history freshly updated with all new finishes and technology. Tall ceilings and lofted spaces give the impression of a classic A-frame cabin while huge north-facing windows offer views of the Big Trout shoreline. Gather ‘round the eight-foot wide, twenty-three-foot-tall stone fireplace to make a wood fire and unwind after a day on the lake. Keep your boat right on the water, sit on the dock and watch the kids swim or catch a fish.

Enjoy the convenience of a remodeled kitchen with all new appliances, cabinets, and countertops (don’t overlook the wine and beverage fridge tucked under the center island). Retreat to the walkout basement to play cards, catch a movie on the big screen tv, or take a nap in one of the lakeside hammocks.

Explore the peninsula along the path located directly across the street. Afterwards, grab an outdoor shower (below the new deck) but if that’s not your thing, step inside and on to the heated tile floors in any one of the three remodeled bathrooms. In the Pines sits at the crossroads of classic MN cabin and modern north woods comfort. Here, the sun does shine, and you won’t shiver the whole night through.

The details: two main floor bedrooms (one queen bed) and the other sleeps 4 in pair of matching bunks. Main floor ¾ bath. Main floor kitchen, dining and large living room area. Upstairs: Loft bedroom (queen) with private ¾ bath and open seating area. Two basement bedrooms (one king!) and the other sleeps six (bunk room) with adjacent ¾ bathroom.

    The house was very clean and exactly as pictured. Lots of games and activities to do within the house. The only heads up we would have appreciated was the steep driveway. It was rainy and dark when most of the group arrived and was hard for them to see.

    Great place to stay with everything we needed and more! With 10 adults and 4 young children, there was something for everyone and plenty of space! The host was very helpful and responds quickly to any and all messages!

    Beautiful house and location. Trout lake is amazing, and the beach is set up to enjoy it! Kitchen had all that we needed and plenty of room for the family. The driveway is really tricky to get in/out of, but just a good reason to stay parked and enjoy the space. Great access to bike/walking trails right across the street.

    Our family of 10 loved the house, the beach, the water, and the location. The hosts provided a nice variety of extras like paddle boards, pre-made fire pit, and a nicely raked beach for our enjoyment. We also loved the fact that we could walk to a great restaurant just down the road. 10 out of 10.

    It was so nice being able to get away from the city and see my friends and family in this beautiful cabin. Being able to disconnect and recuperate here was exactly what we all needed. Highly recommend!

    We stayed at Trout Lake for a Memorial Day weekend with our 3 children, their spouses, and 3 kids.The bedrooms easily accommodated everyone. The level beach was a fun place for the kids to play (even though the water was still, understandably, pretty chilly). The adults enjoyed the sauna. We took advantage of the bike trails and shopped in Crosslake a bit too. We appreciate the owner's help in finding us a place to park our trailers as part of our trip involved driving UTVs on the many trails nearby. The extra parking was necessary due to multiple trailers, but also be aware that the driveway is very steep. There is room to park several cars, but driving out onto the road is a bit nerve-wracking due to the incline. Overall a wonderful place - clean, well-maintained and close to many restaurants, shopping, and activities.

    We had a great week at In the Pines! Our group of 16 (four couples + kids) found the house to have plenty of space and the beach/dock was an awesome setup to create memories. Plenty of beach towels provided, so you can pack light. The kitchen is nicely equipped, but you may want to bring your own cheese grater, sharp knives, and large mixing/serving bowls, and dish towels (there were only a few). The Blackstone griddle was great to have for larger meals! Be ware - the driveway is steep and you might have a bear visit your trash bin outside, so it may be a good idea to bring some straps to keep the trash securely shut overnight.

    We really enjoyed the property. Cabin was recently updated and clean. We gave the property a 4 star because the refrigerator didn't work much of our stay, otherwise it would have been 5 stars. The property owner was very responsive when we reached out with the issue but it took a couple days to get a repair man in to fix it.
