Modern Rustic Cabin-Includes Pontoon Boat & Sunsets on Fantastic Lakeside Porch!

If you are looking for the 'cabin experience', then you need to visit Sunset Haus! This classic Minnesota cabin won't disappoint. This property was completed June 2020, it is brand new inside and out!!! Done in a true cabin feel, it has a wonderful open floor plan on the main level that features a combined great room/kitchen/living room with a large fieldstone fireplace with plenty of seating for those chilly nights. The main level features vaulted ceilings and a wonderful porch overlooking the lake with panoramic views of beautiful O'brien Lake, including wonderful sunsets. The main level further features 2 bedrooms: a master bedroom with attached bathroom complete with custom tile shower, and an additional main floor bedroom with separate bath and custom tile shower. The main floor has a mud room entry area and laundry closet for your use. The lower level features an additional queen bedroom, a bunk room with 8 built in bunks , and the bathroom is set up to accommodate a crowd, with separate areas for the tile shower room, toilet room and vanity. In addition, the lower level features a game/puzzle table along with a cozy sectional couch and entertainment area with a 75” TV for a rainy day or movie night! The upper level of the cabin has a second Master Suite, featuring a queen bedroom and an attached bath with another custom tile shower. The great room and porch flow seamlessly to a large lakeside flagstone firepit area just steps from the water for those true Minnesotan's (firewood included of course)! For the "grill master" of the family there is a paver grilling area complete with new Weber gas grill and seating to keep the "grill master: company. And lastly, the rental comes complete with a pontoon boat (2020 Bennington) for you to enjoy the lake. For those that need to stay connected, the cabin also includes Wi-Fi and two high definition Smart TVs with cable, and the cabin also has a Sonos Music system, so you can enjoy music while you relax. And don't worry, you won't be “roughing it”, the cabin was done in good taste so along with the granite counter tops, the wood plank floors, and the reclaimed details it also has air conditioning, new appliances, and a Kinetico softened water system.

Situated 5 miles east of the town of Crosslake, crystal clear Lake O'Brien is spring fed with a water clarity of 24', the cleanest lake in the entire watershed district. The lake itself is surrounded by mature pines. There is approximately 5 miles of shoreline, of which about a quarter of the lake is undeveloped state owned property. During the summer, this recreational lake is perfect for fishing, skiing, wake boarding canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and all water based activities, including floating on an air mattress!! There is a sandbar where you can walk across the lake which is a favorite gathering spot for 'kids of all ages'!! It's location on a quiet tar township road make it perfect for a morning walk or bike ride. During the winter months the lake is perfect for ice fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and is a perfect base camp to access the endless miles of groomed snowmobile trails.

Sunset Haus is perfect for a family, or an extended family, and because of the set up It can work for 4 families with kids, a couples getaway weekend, or a small family reunion - the options are many. We have a strict limit of 16 occupants. There are 4 Queen beds (1 per bedroom), 8 single beds (in the bunk area). We do keep our calendar updated and so if you are seeing availability then it's likely available. Upon reservation confirmation you'll receive a complete 'what to bring' list ahead of your stay so you are prepared for your time up north. Feel free to inquire with any questions you may have and we’ll be prompt to reply! We pride ourselves on keeping our property and structures/equipment pristine and are certain we'll exceed your expectations in that regard. And further, since we also live on this lake, should any questions or problems arise we can respond quickly. In fact, your only disappointment will be when you have to leave!!

NOTE: The pontoon is in the water, and use is included in the stated rental rates, from approximately early May - late September.

Perfect cabin get-away

Beautiful cabin and location. We went as a family and had such a relaxing time. Just played games, listened to the loons and other birds, did a little fishing and pontoon-ing. The cabin owners communicated with us well, everything was clean and comfortable. Just had a great time. Highly recommend!

Perfect family retreat celebration

We celebrated our birthdays with all the grandkids and adults and it was one of my best birthday celebrations. I truly was blown away by the decor and comfort level. I would love to be able to stay again. We didn’t want to leave, took our time taking it all in. I was so empresses by the layout of all the rooms. The furniture was top notch for a rental. I loved all the decor and outside layout was perfect.

Beautiful Cabin

My wife found this as a place to stay for her 50th Birthday. We have our amazing cabin, but always love to rent a few others through out the year for something different. Far more relaxing with no projects. This place was beyond amazing and we really enjoyed the rainy spring weekend to just relax with family. We would certainly rent form this amazing host again!

Had a great time in the Minnesota North with friends midweek. Fireplace was great. We all had our own bathrooms. Property is in excellent condition, and right on the lake, great for ice fishing. Interior is furnished tastefully and comfortably. Beautiful area.

Sunset Haus had everything you could ever want, spacious areas throughout, clean and comfortable. Porch and fire pit were amazing and having the pontoon for fishing and boating complemented the overall “at the lake” experience. Could use a few handrails for the older folk but definitely recommend

A Gem

We rent a cabin for a week every summer in the Brainerd lake area. Our requirements are they have to have a pontoon and allow pets! These places are not easy to find, but we did find a little piece of heave. It is a beautiful cabin, nice pontoon and a great place for dogs… I couldn’t ask for more!

Beautiful cabin

My family loved this cabin! Room for all of us (13&dog). Such unique decor, beautiful bathrooms, big dinning table, porch with lake view and comfy daybed, the awesome fire pit, the bunk beds were so fun. We used the pontoon on the beautiful small quiet lake and caught crappies, saw eagles, and loons. We try to find different places to rent for our fall family vacation but we all think this might be the place to come back to year after year it was that great!! Great communication with hosts. Definitely a 10.

Elevated Cozy Cabin

We LOVED our stay and are already talking about return trip in the future. The bedrooms are clean, spacious, and comfy. The bathrooms and showers were clean with plenty of towels. We loved the style of all the spaces. There is an elevated cabin feel with cool design elements. We loved the mix of wood and eclectic tile. Upstairs features a fireplace, large dining table with benches, and an open concept kitchen. The basement has a big cozy couch and a large TV. We liked having both options--upstairs for board games and the basement for movies and video games. Since we visited in winter, we spent most of our time indoors, but did adventure out onto the snowy, frozen lake.

Winter Wonderland

We planned to have family join us, but the weather had other plans. It ended up being a major winter storm. We still loved our time. It was quiet and cozy and the hosts were still available if we needed anything. We had plenty of firewood and had fires each night as we looked out at snow falling on the lake. It ended up being a different get-away than we had planned, but it was the perfect place to relax. It was clean, warm, and comfortable. We would love to come back again and share this special place.

Holiday getaway

We had an amazing stay at the cabin! The property is so beautiful, clean and stylish, and was super comfortable for 4 families with kids. We got together for the New Year Eve and had an amazing time. The cabin was decorated for the holidays, and even had a full-size beautiful Christmas tree with lights, that was a pleasant surprise, that we enjoyed on top of all other house decor. The real wood burning fireplace was perfect addition to the festive and cozy holiday atmosphere in the cabin. There was plenty wood provided. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We had 7 kids under the age of 11, and they loved the bunkbeds set up downstairs with comfy couches, game table and tv. There were plenty blankets for them to get cozy when playing games or watching the movies. It was a perfect winter getaway, that we all will remember! Thank you, Matt and Renae, for the accommodations, and creating such a great place to enjoy!

Great house for a large family

We stayed a week at this house in mid-August. It was perfect for two families (4 adults and 4 children) - and we easily could have invited more people. Communication was super easy around check-in and what to expect during our stay. We brought our own pool/lake floats, and that was a really good addition. I wouldn't expect a house to come with these, but I would recommend them to anyone planning to stay. The kitchen had all the items we would need to host family gatherings. The house supposedly came with a Sonos system, but I didn't find one and couldn't connect to one via wifi? But we brought a portable speaker, so we didn't have a problem. I would definitely stay here again!
