Very clean and had all listed amenities! Perfect for a weekend stay. Only surprise was we had to remove our own trash which we’ve never had to do for any other Airbnb we’ve stayed in. Not a huge deal for two people but just a note if you’re staying for a prolonged period! Either way would highly recommend!

This is such a beautiful cabin, even better than expected! The space is so cozy and peaceful, and extremely well decorated with lots of vintage cabin decor. It felt so homey & inviting! The bedroom upstairs has a beautiful lake view right from bed, so waking up and looking out at the water was such a cool surprise! Very close to everything in Crosslake and easy to get everywhere. Thanks so much for sharing The Outback!
