Where Time Slows and Laughter Lasts

Your Up North Escape Awaits!

Pine Terrace Resort is your quintessential Minnesota, family vacation resort. Tucked under the pines along the quiet shores of Star Lake, our cabin resort is the perfect escape from busy schedules and glowing screens. Whether you're roasting marshmallows under the stars, canoeing the quiet waters, or sharing coffee as the sun rises, this is where real moments happen. Step outside, slow down, and reconnect with what matters most—your family, your time, and the world around you.

Discover Pine Terrace Resort

A peaceful, family-run hideaway in the heart of Minnesota lake country.

Nestled on 36 secluded acres in Crosslake, near the Brainerd Lakes area, Pine Terrace offers a quiet retreat surrounded by nature, with the convenience of local attractions, restaurants, and a grocery store. As the lake’s only boat launch, Pine Terrace offers peaceful waters and a truly secluded escape. Our lakefront cabins sit on the shores of Star Lake.  It's perfect for families—especially kids catching bluegills, crappie, bass and pike right off the dock!

You run a first-class resort!

Everything is clean and modern, and it’s so very private.  Our group loved all the watercraft — paddleboat, water bikes, canoes, kayaks — and took advantage of the beautiful, calm lake whenever we got the chance.
