Stunning views on tranquil lake.

We had a group of adults, a teen and kids. We all enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Everyone was able to spread out and have their own space. The house was well appointed with everything we needed. The hosts were very generous and quick to reply to messages. We bought some rock salt for the icy sidewalks and the owner quickly reimbursed us for that. Thanks again!

Gregg was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything so easy. The cabin itself was super cute and cozy, with lots of amenities. I grew up in Crosslake, and it honestly reminded me of staying at my grandparents' cabin because they had everything you could possibly need. The fact that it's pet-friendly was a huge bonus for us!We had so much fun, and the outdoor scenery was absolutely beautiful in the winter with the snow and the lake. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-equipped cabin experience.

The property is nice, not fancy (older finishes, carpeted floors, and two shared bathrooms), well set up for families with young kids. The layout works well: four bedrooms (three with a queen or full bed; one with two kid beds) plus an extra sleeping area with three more beds, one bathroom upstairs and one downstairs, and a well-equipped kitchen. There was also plenty of firewood and we had bonfires by the lake most nights.The lake access is ideal for young kids — a sandy beach with shallow water under two feet deep all the way to the end of the dock, plus a lily pad to play on. You can see it all from the nice deck off the kitchen/dining and living room on the lake side. Nice big lawn. The water in the dock area is sandy, with some weeds further out that deeper-water swimmers will need to navigate. Access to two kayaks, a stand-up paddleboard, and a paddle boat is included. Wildlife sightings included turtles, loons, bald eagles, osprey, and even an owl. We didn't try fishing on Duck Lake but pontooned and caught several northerns on nearby Cross Lake.Just a couple suggestions: neutral 2700–3000K LED bulbs instead of the glaring 5000K ones in several fixtures, a cleaning of the upstairs sink and shower drains, and life jackets for kids above 50 lbs. And it would be nice to have an option to use or rent a boat on Duck Lake. Overall, though, it’s a great spot for a family-friendly lake trip — and we may well book it again. Thanks, Gregg!

Gracious hosts offering a cozy home in an ideal setting.

Great spot for a larger family gathering!

We had a wonderful weekend at the lake! The cabin was clean and so comfy, plenty of room for us (6 adults, 1 teen, 2 kids) and the yard and beach were amazing! Spent lots of time swimming off the dock area (SO nice that there’s minimal weeds) did tons of paddle boating and kayaking, and great to have the firepit just off the lake so we could run and cozy up by the fire as soon as we climb out of the lake. The property was tucked away from the busy-ness of Crosslake, yet just a couple minute drive into town for anything we could possibly need. Overall a fantastic experience!! Would definitely book again in the future.

We enjoyed our relaxing time at Gregg's place! The layout of the house worked great for our family and the views were amazing. Check-in and communication were seamless. We would definitely recommend this place!

We enjoyed our stay at the Duck Lake cabin. Our whole family enjoyed the lake life, kayaking and paddle boarding, fishing and watching the sunset and wildlife.

We all enjoyed the stay, if it would have been warmer it would have been better. But this way we talked and enjoyed old friends. Thank you.

We had a great time at the cabin on Duck Lake. October was fabulous this year with warm sunny days and cool nights. Fall colors, families of trumpeter swans and wood ducks and an occasional bald eagle made our stay special.Cabin met all of our needs and then some.

We greatly enjoyed our stay!

My two adult daughters and I were looking for a quiet, comfortable place to spend time together. We felt very much at home, and the host family generously invited us to help ourselves to whatever was available. Greg responded immediately when there was a problem with the fridge. The mattresses were great! We enjoyed looking around the small towns nearby, especially Crosby. A good carpet cleaning is recommended, but that's like home, too!

Property had all the amenities you could ask for. Fun was had by ALL!

Our stay at Gregg's cabin was fabulous. We had seven family members and there was plenty of room for everybody. The cabin was just as advertised, no surprises. We enjoyed our time kayaking, paddleboarding and just sitting in the water soaking in the sun. There is ample yard space to play yard games too. The cabin is located on a quiet lake and quiet road so our time there was very peaceful. There was plenty of water inflatables provided and generous amounts of coffee, spices and condiments we could use. I highly recommend Gregg's cabin for a nice getaway.

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for and wanted and the host was wonderful with checking in with us to see if there was any questions/concerns and was very prompt getting back to us.

We loved the quietness of Duke lake! The kids (and adults!) really enjoyed the lake toys- Lilly pad, 3 kayaks, paddle boat, paddle boards and floats! Plenty to keep us ALL entertained while enjoying g the lake! We did some fishing and caught a few perch, bullheads and a northern! The home was more than enough space for us to sleep comfortably and enjoy meals together! Definitely recommend this property. The only small con was that after a day on the lake, there was only enough hot water for one of us to take a warm shower. We did quick rinses the rest of our stay- and that was just fine for us.

Everyone enjoyed the home and the proximity to Cross Lake and city and amenities. Home was comfortable and functional for everything we needed. Thank You

We had an amazing family vacation on Duck Lake!

Had a good time

Our group of friends enjoyed the location, quiet atmosphere, and comfortable home. The property is not “perfect,” because it’s clearly been well-used by its owners over the years. it is the sort of place where you can relax and not take yourself too seriously.
