A Delightful Stay

The cottage is perfectly suited to a couple's getaway, and the property is all about peace and quiet. Even when the weather was less than ideal, we relished the chance to catch up on our reading while enjoying coffee on the porch. The small lake is scenic and quiet, and this retired pair enjoyed using the kayak. We enjoyed the visit and would definitely come back.

Check-in was very easy. Host was quick with responding, and friendly. Kitchen was great! Everything you could need fully stocked, very nice grill and stove. Microwave, coffee maker and full fridge and freezer. We didn’t eat out at all because of how great the kitchen was. We had the best time here and would definitely come back!

Peaceful and charming

Very clean and cute cabin. Peaceful and quiet location. Had a nice time in nearby Park Rapids, as well as sitting on the dock and enjoying the loons and having a nice fire. Host had great communication. Cabin has everything you need including firewood and a s’mores kit was nice touch.

Everything was just as described. The kayak was a great included extra. Cabin stayed nice and cozy even though it was cool outside. Felt very secluded but close enough to town if needed.

A little slice of heaven…

Simple but beautiful one room cabin with the basic creature comforts. The lake was peaceful and perfect for casting a line from the dock. Loons & swans, spotted from the dock. Enjoyed a nice campfire and the night sounds. Extremely comfortable bed!

Absolutely amazing! If you want peace and quiet this is the place to be! The cabin is so cute and comfy, the kitchen is well stocked for all your cooking needs. Very clean and bed was comfortable. The yard is very well kept, with a small garden which you can pick veggies from. We loved sitting out on the porch playing cards and having a beer! Walked down to the lake every day and fed the sunfish off the dock, we even went and bought nightcrawlers to give them! We saw the loon 2 of the days we were there. We had a campfire every night with free wood they supply. Everything was exceptional, beyond our dreams! Would highly recommend this cabin, hope to go back again!

Sad to be leaving!

This place is perfection. If waking up, smelling the sweet sappy pine smell and sitting on the porch of an authentic cabin with a hot cup of coffee while listening to the sheer silence and sounds of nature is for you, then book now! The hosts were fantastic to work with, perfect amount of communication. Gave us suggestions on things to do which we took advantage of, but the property was the highlight of our stay. We enjoyed the perfect cleanliness not only of indoors but every outdoor space, having everything we needed, the canoe and constant fishing on the lake, and the just right amount of a remote setting. What an absolute gem this place is. If you want to reach a state of perfect relaxation while being taken care of in every way just rent it now. These hosts have customer service down pat and they'll make you wish you lived there!

Cute space, appointed with love, very comfortable bed. Small sitting area, adorable kitchen - everything you need if you want to do serious cooking/clean and new. Has towels and kitchen towels. Bathroom/shower is also new. Rustic appearance with modern conveniences. Good air conditioner. Lake looks small but its an optical illusion caused by a spit of land to the left. It is actually quite a respectable size - takes an hour to kiyak around the lake (2 kiyaks and a canoe are provided). Secluded but not isolated. Propterties around the lake are recessed from the shore and barely visible. We were basically alone in the lake on most occasions - once we saw a few people on a boat fishing. Swim/tube/kiyak. 18 minute drive to Park Rapids, shopping and the Heartland Bike Trailhead. People who own and operate the property are really nice and very easy to work with.
