Peaceful Getaway
We stayed at Pine Cone Cottage for a much needed getaway. It was perfect! Sandy was very accommodating and friendly. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Sitting by the water, watching water fowl was so relaxing. Seeing the northern lights was a plus! We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful property
We had a great time at the Pine Cone Cottage. It is a beautiful property with a lot of wildlife! We were greeted by deer each time we came and went on the driveway, and some wild turkeys checked out the trunk of our car while packing up to leave. The property is not nearly as secluded/private as advertised with the host's home closer than my next-door neighbor in town. Sandy was kind and respectful so this wasn't a huge deal - we were just very surprised by this. The home was clean and had everything we needed for a weekend to get away for a re-charge.

A nice, quiet getaway
We loved the beautiful clear water and seeing loons and eagles daily. The cottage was clean and worked well for us. I would recommend bringing any spices you need with you, if you plan to cook while there, and coffee if you’re a coffee drinker. Otherwise, it had everything we needed. Our host was kind and helpful, and lives next door.

Excellent location, many amenities
If you’re goal is to enjoy all that nature has to offer, or if you just want to visit small towns read a book and drink tea, either way Pinecone Cottage is a great place to stay. Sandy, whose residence is next door, was very accommodating, helping us out with suggestions for local activities and resources. The paddle boat is an excellent way to explore the lake or even fish from. We also rented the motorboat, which was in great shape and easy to use. The cabin is centrally located making trips into Nisswa, Pequot Lakes, or Crosslakes equally accessible. If you need larger city accommodations, Brainerd isn’t far either. Overall highly recommend Pinecone Cottage and would definitely rebook.

This cozy cottage has everything you need. I stayed for 5 nights and never really left. Cooked all my meals there. There's a nice gas grill and a charcoal grill. It was so quiet and peaceful, the only thing you hear is nature. Sandy is very accommodating and responsive to any of your needs. This is the perfect place if you're looking to relax and unwind and enjoy nature.

Perfect retreat in nature
The cabin is exactly as pictured — cozy and perfectly appointed. Sandy was BEYOND responsive to my questions! Every night I would open all the windows and listen to the sounds of nature, including owls and loons. Sitting in front of the “nature lake” and appreciating the swans … having the blue heron fly immediately behind me, so close I could hear its wings … sitting on the dock overlooking the lake … it was truly a magical visit. Highly recommend.

The property was all about norther Minnesota's forest and lake beauty. I came to a gracious and warm welcome. Sandy answered all my questions and gave me a clear tour. Everything I wanted/needed was here! The quiet, the stars, the lake breeze, the comfort and style of this place immediately made me feel welcome and at home. I want to return! I will need it!

Long weekend getaway
Stayed 3 nights. Enjoyed the birds, seeing the work of the beavers, took the canoe out. Read books sitting on the dock. The lake is small, private and quiet. No loud jet skis and speed boats disrupting your peace and quiet. We watched two DVDs they had on site one night. What a special treat that was. We didn't cook much but the kitchen seemed well stocked. Well stocked bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. Lots of seating options in the living room. The chairs on the deck are comfortable to sit on also. Such a close drive to the busier towns of Brainerd, Nisswa and Breezy Point. Perfect for day trips for shopping and dining. The cottage has a lake on both sides. Fire pits on both sides. Private driveway. The owners live next door. It was absolutely everything we hoped it would be and we will recommend it to friends and family. What a slice of heaven.

The property was very clean and beautifully decorated; such attention to detail. The owner, Sandy, was so welcoming and sweet. Despite the rain, we had a great fall getaway to recharge and refresh. The small little towns surrounding the Merrifield/Brainard area were so fun to explore and enjoy local art and delicacies. A wonderful trip in a wonderful space!

Pine Cone Cottage was the perfect stay for a late summer get away! Everything met all of my expectations and more. Sandy was a wonderful host and made things so easy from check in to check out...and the cottage is beautiful. Loved the lake and spending the day in Nisswa. Great seafood boil at B Merri's in Brainerd. Definitely looking forward to coming back again!.

Nice Location, Comfortable Cottage
Small, but cozy cottage in a quiet town. There are not many properties around, so there is plenty of privacy. Sandy takes great care of the cottage. Everything was very clean when we arrived. The fishing was good. We caught some nice 4+ pound bass on topwater lures in the lily pads. We saw lots of wildlife, including loons, red squirrels, deer, bald eagles, and a beaver! Overall a great getaway. We will be back!

The Pine Cone Cottage is a private, comfortable cabin with complete kitchen and large living room. Great views from the living room with frequent loon sightings. The owner, Sandy is great to work with. If you're looking for a nice one bedroom cottage on a small lake this is the place.
