Enjoy Lake Life on Big Bass Lake, Bemidji MN

The Lake house is the perfect place to relax and enjoy what Minnesota has to offer with family & friends. The property is located 25' off the shore of Big Bass Lake on the east side of Bemidji. Close to Bemidji State Park & Bemidji Town and Country Club golf course.

Summer activities in the area include swimming, fishing right off the dock, kayaking, boating, and sitting by the fire enjoying the lake view. This property is also a winter wonderland with ice fishing, cross country skiing, and snowmobiling.

The main floor features the kitchen, dining & sitting room, living room, 1 bedroom with queen-size & twin-size beds, and 1 full bath.

The second floor also has a bedroom with 2 twin beds, a bath, and a living room that has a full-size futon. The home has 3 decks 2 with lake views.

This is a beautiful property. The home is private and inviting. Sitting lakeside watching the sunset in front of a fire 10' from the lakeshore is my favorite place to be.

This was a clean, well kept property on a beautiful quiet lake just outside of Bemidji. We enjoyed a fire overlooking the lake in the evenings and really felt like we were the only people there. Highly recommend.

This property was perfect! My toddler loved the rock collection, it was super clean! Was looking for something that wasn’t a hotel as I had 3 total small kiddos and this was perfect. Just can’t say enough great things, will book again!
