An amazing property with everything you need! The property is close to town, restaurants, groceries, and the lake is just steps away, with an option of two boats. Whether you’re looking for a property for a single-family or with a group of families, the Marion Lake Lodge is the place to go. The hosts were amazing to work with and their communication was always immediate.

We had the most amazing time here. They already have everything you need from pots and pans to outdoor chairs and water toys. We rented the pontoon and Mark was great about helping us with everything we needed. I would recommend this place everyone! 10/10 experience!

Our family of 8 had a wonderful time at the Lodge. The home was clean, beautifully furnished and comfortable. The large garage/bonus fun room was a special feature. The large lawn area for games, the clean lake and privacy from adjacent homes rounded out a great rental. The hosts are easy to contact and respond quickly should any need arise. The city of Perham is a short drive away for supplies. Even closer, The Wagon Wheel in Richville which has grocery, liquor, hardware, bait and gas!! Everything you need! Our son-in-law, a fisherman, loved it. We would definitely rent this property again.

Perfect get-away!

This was one of the best VRBO places we’ve rented. The house was very comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. We were able to use kayaks and a paddle board that were on the property. We also could rent the pontoon that was docked. We are definitely booking this property again!

While our visit to the area was for a sad reason, to attend a funeral in Perham, we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Marion Lake Lodge. The property, lake, and home are beautiful and worked great for our family (4 bedrooms for 7 adults). The location was very convenient, only about a 10 minute drive to Perham and the home had everything we needed. The hosts were wonderful and answered all of our questions promptly. We would highly recommend Marion Lake Lodge.

Beautiful Marion Lake Property

This property is beautiful!!! Clean, spacious, stocked with everything you need and great Lake access. We were able to keep our boat in the water all week at the dock at the property. They have a fishing boat and a pontoon to rent if you don't own your own boat. Finished garage to hang out in with a ping pong table, the kids loved it. We had such a great time we are already booking for next summer! Hosts/owners are amazing, this is a hidden gem on a beautiful lake ❤️

We can’t wait to come back!

Although the weather didn’t always cooperate during our stay it didn’t really matter. We had just as much fun gathering around playing games inside as we did outside in the beautiful yard and on the lake. Everything is clean, well maintained and the house is well stocked with things that make you feel at home. My parents, who live close by, were even able to come visit and because the yard is so flat and the house is all one level it was very accessible for my dad’s wheelchair. Mark, Adam and Becky were extremely responsive and easy to work with. This place is a gem and we will be back!

Excellent family get away!

The property is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood about 10 minutes from the town of Perham where you can grab groceries or hit some boutiques. Renting the pontoon was easy and the fishing was great. We used the kayaks and the paddle board. We also had a nice fire - super nice to have the chopped wood right there. We used the grill for dinner and had a family table tennis tourney later on. The bedrooms and living room are spacious. Kitchen appliances are new and cupboards are well stocked with everything we needed. Loved the whole set up. Lots of toys for kids and games/cards for adults. With the extra family space in the garage this property has plenty of room to gather without feeling crowded. Perfect weekend get away but we’ll be staying longer next time!

The perfect place to reunite!

We have been coming to Perham for many years (decades), staying at fishing resorts - this is the first year ever staying in a house, and we were honestly blown away! The house has a great layout, it allows for many different options to gather to eat, talk, play cards, or just relax - including seating outdoors to grill and take in the lake views! We used the bikes for afternoon bike rides, and used the kayaks on Lake Marion- they were so much fun and easy to get on and off from the dock. The house was very clean, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. We came to fish - we had 3 fishing boats - there was plenty of parking space to accommodate our parking needs, and we felt centrally located to all of our favorite fishing lakes! The sweet owners were always available and answered all of our questions very timely- they are very nice and caring! We would love to have the opportunity to stay here again!
