October on Duck Lake
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.

Comfortable & Homey
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!

Family vacation
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.

Weekend getaway
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.

Very comfortable beds, access to much wildlife & scenic lake viewing. Heating kicked out on the colder nights and the A/C when needed was sufficient. Clean & organized. Priced right too! Great owners that responded to questions asap. Jacqueline H

Family getaway
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was very comfortably set up for our group of 7. We enjoyed Duck Lake, and liked the secret path to Cross Lake even more. At Cross Lake the swimming and fishing were just terrific. The owners both rent and use this property, so their personal belongings are here and there but not in an discomforting way. There was plenty of shade on sunny days. And ways to find sun if you wanted it. The fire pit area was wonderful. Kitchen had everything we needed.
