About Louella Fraser
We have enjoyed Bad Medicine Lake since 1993 and built this home in 2009. We have hosted many friends and family over the years, that have hosted their special family and friends gathering in this home. It is a place we built from our own family's experiences from staying in other vacation rental homes, with deep appreciation of comfort and flow that adds to a memorable vacation!
Louella Fraser purchased this lodge in 2009
Why Louella Fraser chose Minnesota
Bad Medicine Lake is one of the top premier lakes in the Detroit Lakes and Park Rapids area. Known for some of the cleanest water and Trout and Walleye Fishing. If you prefer to swim in clean crisp water... here it is!
What makes this lodge unique
LARGE boulders frame the experience from inside to feel the comfort of upscale living outdoors close to the water's edge with windows offering panoramic views! We built the home with thoughtful consideration to the importance of comfort, space and warmth to enjoy and create memories together and sometimes.. on your own!

Beyond my greatest expectations!!
I was privileged to spend Independence Day weekend at the Lodge with family. The location is immaculate, so well maintained and beautiful. The activity on the lake was fun. The lake never seemed crowded or intrusive. The lodge itself is spacious and comfortable, a kitchen to die for, lounge areas upstairs and down makes room for any activity, quiet or lively. A campfire for evening chats and marshmallows included old and young. The owners are most welcoming and wonderful hosts.
