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!

Very peaceful

We really enjoyed the quiet & the view. We saw so many birds & there's a local beaver that comes by along the shoreline a couple times a day! We even got to watch the Perseid meteor shower from the dock.

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.

Perfect late summer get away!

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!.

Happy Place

This cottage is cozy, with great lake views from each window. We spent our time going for walks, sitting around the fire, and listening for the loons. The owners are right next door if you need anything and are wonderful people--great place!

Cozy Pine Cone Cottage

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!

Perfect lodging for us. Furnishings were as described and very comfortable. Nature setting. We saw beaver, trumpeter swans, loons, and ducks. Fished when we felt like it. Sandy was an excellent host. We will be back.

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.

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.

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.

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!
