1/2 Off All Nov Dates at Modern Rustic Cabin - Woodburning FP & Sunsets!!

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 wood-burning fieldstone fireplace with plenty of seating for those chilly nights (fire wood included of course!!). 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 (again, firewood included)! 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 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 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 Sunset Haus!
This was our third time staying at beautiful Sunset Haus on Lake O'Brien. We can't say enough good things about this lake home which is exactly as described, beautifully decorated, and every amenity you need while up north. We were there with another couple from Oct 12-19 and timed it perfectly with peak fall colors. The guys caught fish every day including a nice walleye! There is so much to see and do in the Brainerd Lakes area. The cabin is perfectly located - easy to get to grocery store, gas station, nearby bars and restaurants - yet tucked in the woods on a quiet lake for peace and relaxation. We love this cabin and would highly recommend to anyone considering a stay. A true up north gem!!

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.

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!

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!

Beautiful cabin that was a joy to stay at. Our family had a great trip and had a lot of fun fishing and playing with the little ones at the cabin’s beach area. I would recommend if someone is traveling with little ones, to bring a baby gate as the staircase to lower level is steep. We hope to be back soon!

Family and pet friendly getaway
Our Christmas gift to our adult children, their spouses and new in-laws last year was the gift of spending time together. We rented the cabin Memorial Weekend and had 10 adults ranging from 21 to 85 yrs old. We also had 2 dogs. The cabin never felt crowded and had a really cozy feel. We spent most of our day playing yard games, fishing and cruising on the pontoon. The evenings consisted of large dinners and cocktails around the large fire pit. The owners were most welcoming and answered any questions we had. They also understood how special it was we could bring our furry family members. They treated us with kindness and respect. I hope we will be able to rent again in the future. Our children said it was the best gift they ever received. Memories of time spent together are priceless!

Beautiful Sunset Haus
This is our 2nd stay at Sunset Haus and we will be returning this fall. This rental home is like living in the pages of MN Cabins magazine! Lake O'Brien is a quiet, peaceful lake without the water traffic on the Whitefish Chain. If you are considering renting this cabin, I would not hesitate as everything is as advertised and the owners are wonderful. Peaceful, relaxing location but still close to groceries, restaurants, trails and many things to do in Crosslake/Brainerd area. Highly recommend -- 5 stars all the way!!!!!

Perfect Winter Weekend
My family (brother, sister and their kids) rented this cabin for a long weekend to relax, play games, and just spend time together. There is not a single thing we would change about this cabin. It was perfect for multiple families to have their own spaces with a private bathroom for each. It was nice to have main floor bedroom options for people who can't do stairs. The bunk area was fantastic. All of the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the extra throw blankets to be cozy while watching movies - and the puzzles/games were nice to have. The kitchen was perfectly appointed - we forgot a crockpot and found there was one there. The cleanliness of the entire cabin was impeccable, which was important to us. It was winter but we still enjoyed the peace outside, and sitting around the fire pit. Finally, the owners were so kind and responsive. Everything about our stay was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. It was a dream stay.

All that we dreamed of and more!
This cabin was the perfect setup for a relaxing winter weekend with friends. We had more than enough space with 4 adults and 4 kids. It was awesome to have separate spaces for us all to play games, watch movies, and sleep in. The kids loved the bunk beds with large tv downstairs. The adults enjoyed time relaxing upstairs by the fireplace. We especially appreciated the large supply of firewood for the cold MN weekend. The cabin was more beautiful in real life than the pictures could convey. A lovely place to stay and we all hope to return.
