The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We mainly used it for sleeping since we were attending a family reunion. I would recommend this cabin if staying in the Park Rapids area. The A/C was super cold, just what we needed for the hot humid days we were there. Thanks!!

Grandkids enjoyed more than Itasca

The grandkids loved the pedal boat, the swimming dock and fishing. They enjoyed the vrbo more than our visit to the headwaters of the Mississippi.

Great option on Long Lake

The property owner, Chris, is very kind, easy to reach and helpful. We also were able to rent a pontoon from him and spend out days on Long Lake. There was great fishing off of the dock, and bonfires at night. The cabin is small, but if you plan to spend your time outside it is great. Overall, a wonderful stay.

Long family fishing weekend

We had a wonderful stay. We rented the fishing boat and had a great time fishing. It was incredibly convenient to have it onsite. Chris, the host, is very responsive and ensured that we had what we needed throughout our stay! We caught a lot of rock bass and perch. We also caught several largemouth bass and even a few walleye. Plenty of sunnies to catch off the large dock too! Our kids also enjoyed the kayak and paddle board in the bay. The bay is very quiet and the waters were still quite calm on a windier day. Based on the listing and other reviews the cottage was exactly as I expected. If you’re on the taller side just be aware of the ceiling heights both upstairs and the lower level. It was perfect for a long weekend.

Beautiful sunrise and sunsets I verlooking the lake.

We enjoyed our stay. Chris Bolten the owner lives on the property. Was very helpful and gave us great info on things to do in the area. We rented the golf cart and took a drive into the woods. Property is very close to town for groceries etc. Our only issue is that we had a disabled person along and the rental is on a bit of a slope and then there are several stairs to get up to door. This was my fault. I should have asked more questions. I would rent again. All and all we had a pretty nice experience.

Lake access was great! Clean water, liked the swimming platform and the SUP.

The 3 beds upstairs are difficult to get to for adults. It’s an one bedroom not four bedroom. Overall enjoyed our stay!!!

Clean, quiet, and stunningly beautiful property

The cottage was impecibly clean, with comfortable beds, great heating and AC, and a well stocked kitchen. Was nice to grill up some food, and watch the sunset over the water and and listen to the fire crackle in the fire pit. A great part of the charm was the pontoon boat and other boats for rent at very reasonable prices. We had the whole extended family out for a sunset cruise over Long Lake that will make for a fond memory. The property also had a canoe, kayack, and paddle board for use for free with a great selection of life preserves. We look forward to coming back.
