Cozy lakefront chalet with cedar hot tub + stunning lake views

If you're looking for that quintessential "cabin experience" in Minnesota, our Pine Tree Play Chalet won't disappoint. It's a hand-crafted, rustic pine cabin located just steps from the gorgeous waters of crystal-clear Lake Washburn. With a small and efficient layout, the chalet has 3 bedrooms (one on the main, two in the loft) and sleeps 6 people. The main room has ample seating with two separate seating areas and a round dining table for meals or playing cards. The cabin is ideal for a family get-away or a couple searching for a quiet place to read, to write, or to just take in the incredible vista of the lake itself—from the wall of glass, the gracious front deck, the wood-fired hot tub, or from the dock. The chalet is 10 minutes north of Outing, 20 minutes south of Remer, and 30 minutes to Crosslake or Crosby. Pine Tree Chalet rests on 12 acres of forested wilderness with 300 feet of private lakeshore and a panoramic vista. The cabin is perched on the north basin of Lake Washburn, a 1,600-acre lake with maximum depths of 120 feet, which make for silky waters perfect for swimming and fishing. You'll hear no traffic noise from this peaceful location since it's located three miles off the main road. The property is nestled among centuries-old Norway reds and white pines, and has ample space for parking an RV or your parties ATV and trailers. Enjoy the secluded frontage, listen to the waves lap the dock, or swim in the clear waters where the average temperature ranges from 75-80 degrees. The property features a wood-fired, cedar hot tub and a large fire pit next to the lake. We'll provide the wood for roasting marshmallows and making s'mores! After a day on the lake fishing and swimming, or mountain bike riding the iron-rich Cuyuna trails, or motoring the hundreds of miles of ATV trails, take a shower and enjoy a cocktail and supper on the generous front deck. We provide the charcoal and the grill, a cozy kitchen, and all the extra ingredients and spices you may have forgotten. Build a fire in the woodburning fireplace or light a fire on the shore in the twilight hours and take in the constellation of stars. The chalet is equipped with high-speed, fiber optic Internet service if you'd prefer to stream a movie (we've got most all the major streaming services for you). Pine Tree Chalet was hand-built by the previous owner in 1972, individually constructing the arching splines with a form of his own making. The loft has two bedrooms with bunk beds in each room, and a space our kids use for gaming, reading, or yes, watching TikTok videos. Pine Tree Play Chalet is a relaxing experience crafted to get away from hectic world—with plenty of board games, lawn games, and books—but, like you, we sometimes need to work remotely so fiber optic Internet (100 Mbps upload/download) allows for high-quality, reliable Zoom calls and uninterrupted streaming during movie nights or asking Alexa to stream your favorite music. Our backlot is 10 acres of pristine forest, which offers a peaceful buffer. Close to areas like Crosslake (golfing / shopping / eating), Crosby (Cuyuna mountain bike trails / craft breweries), and Walker (walleye fishing / lively town / shopping), our Pine Tree Play Chalet is a remote getaway from a hectic life.
