About The Yellow House

Before it became The Yellow House, this beloved Crosslake spot was known as Lake Country Crafts & Cones—a hometown favorite since 1984.

​

It earned its reputation for generous scoops, genuinely friendly service, and that little moment of joy everyone remembers: the signature jelly bean waiting at the bottom of every cone.

​

In 1998, Pat took over the shop, thoughtfully expanding it while preserving the cozy, welcoming charm that made it so special. For more than two decades, she nurtured it into a gathering place where summers were sweet, memories were made, and both locals and visitors felt right at home.

​

Today, Crosslake locals Corey Palmer, Katheryn Palmer, Jessica Samples, and Ty Samples are honored to carry that legacy forward as The Yellow House. With deep roots in the community and a love for bringing people together, we’re excited to serve great food, nostalgic treats, and new memories—one scoop at a time—for many years to come.
