About this property

Arla’s Pond Cottage - Scandinavian-Inspired Luxury in the Heart of Crosslake, MN

  • Welcome to Arla’s Pond Cottage, a peaceful Northwoods retreat designed for relaxation, adventure, and making memories together. Nestled among nearly three private acres of towering pines and overlooking a serene pond, this cozy getaway offers stunning views, abundant wildlife, and the perfect place to slow down and reconnect with nature.

    Thoughtfully renovated with Nordic-inspired décor, expansive windows that bring the outdoors in, and modern amenities throughout, Arla’s Pond Cottage comfortably accommodates up to nine guests, making it the perfect destination for a girls’ weekend, a romantic escape, a trip with friends, or a family getaway.

    **New Lower Level Addition for 2026! Enjoy even more space to spread out and relax with our beautifully finished lower level, adding extra comfort and gathering space for your group.

    While the cottage sits on its own private pond, you’ll be just minutes from the renowned Whitefish Chain of Lakes. Although the pond is not connected to the chain, the public boat launch is only three minutes away, making it easy to enjoy a day on the water before returning to your own private retreat.

    Spend your days exploring the nearly three-acre property, wandering the wooded paths, gathering around the outdoor fire pit (one complimentary bundle of firewood provided), spotting local wildlife, or simply soaking in the peaceful pond views. Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventure or a quiet escape, Arla’s Pond Cottage offers the best of the Crosslake area with the privacy and charm of your own Northwoods hideaway.

    We can’t wait to welcome you Up North and help you create unforgettable memories at Arla’s Pond Cottage.
