Om overnatningsstedet

Northwoods Retreat on Bad Medicine: Første svømning, vandsport og snescooter

Dette er en unik ejendom ved uberørt Bad Medicine Lake! Når ejerens hytte af 'Red Top Resort', en 3-kabine ejendom, der er aktiv siden 1930'erne, er den blevet omdannet til et nordwoods-stil året rundt søhus samtidig med at det bevarer sin rustikke charme.

Huset har to soveværelser og to badeværelser, to pejse, et komplet køkken, en stue og en veranda til hele året. Hele sæsonens veranda har en udtrækssofa til ekstra overnattende gæster (dette er praktisk taget på vandet og den bedste mulighed for at høre lommer mens du sover!). Den ufærdige kælder har en vaskemaskine og tørretumbler til dit brug og et bordtennisbord til de ikke-så-fine dage eller aftenunderholdning. Der er også et poolbord.

Køkkenet har ovn, komfur, mikroovn og køleskab / fryser. Andre små apparater og køkkengrej, servise og redskaber er også inkluderet. Gæster skal medbringe deres egen mad og redningsveste.



Lake Information

Bad Medicine Lake er konsekvent en af de klareste, reneste søer i Minnesota. Minnesota Monthly vurderede det som den bedste sø til svømning i 2008! Det er ikke ualmindeligt at fange snorklere og endda dykere omkring søen! Vandsport som slanger, vandski og endda sejlsport er meget populære.

Bad Medicine Lake er et fantastisk sted til Rainbow Trout og Walleye fiskeri! Den er fyldt med Rainbow Trout hvert år! En offentlig bådlancering er kun 10 minutter væk. Andre fremragende fiskesøer er let tilgængelige og tæt på.

Fremragende snescooterstier ligger lige ved søen! Stierne er velplejede, velholdte og forbinder direkte til mange restauranter, tankstationer og Lake Itasca State Park.


Aktiviteter i nærheden

Lake Itasca State Park ligger cirka 20 minutters kørsel væk. Gå over Mississippis oversvømmelse eller nyd fremragende cykel- eller vandrestier. Snowmobiling her om vinteren er også meget sjov!

Nærliggende byer Park Rapids, MN og Detroit Lakes, MN tilbyder en masse underholdning for både børn og voksne. Sjov shopping og gode restauranter er nemme at finde. Park Rapids tilbyder 'Evergreen Fun Park' til børnene, komplet med kofangerbåde, lasermærke, minigolf og mere. Detroit Lakes tilbyder familievenlige aktiviteter næsten hver weekend.

The place is awesome. The owner is a great guy and we enjoyed sitting and visiting with him and all the history of the lake. We have been coming to this lake for 30 plus years and it never gets old. Krista and Steve do an awesome job of keeping this the place to come back to. Thank you so much and see you next year.

Ideal lake experience

Brought the grandchildren for a lake experience and was not disappointed. Beautiful location, comfortable accommodations with nice swimming beach for kids and good fishing for smallmouth bass off the dock. The owner Steve is very hospitable and gave us rides around the lake on his boat. Highly recommended!

Great Getaway!

My husband, mother and I had an excellent time and were impressed with the living space as well as how well equipped the kitchen was! Steve told us everything we needed to know when we arrived, and he was extremely respectful of our privacy. Great swimming area, the two docks are sturdy and each have seating areas at the end which was fun for star gazing at night. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the area and had fun swimming, boating and scuba diving on Bad Medicine.

Exceptionally clean property with easy water access

The property was extremely clean when we arrived. We had a comfortable stay and really enjoyed the easy access to the lake/beach just steps from our cabin! It was a bit of a cooler weekend so we were comfortable sleeping at night and brought along a few of our own blankets/pillows for comfort. I would recommended bringing your own food/groceries/campfire wood prior to arriving as it is a 20+ minute drive to the nearest store.

It’s a beautiful home and property! The gorgeous lake was perfect for skiing, tubing, swimming, and even off the dock fishing. We will definitely be coming back next summer! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Classic Cabin Getaway

We spent a week here and had phenomenal weather and were able to spend many many hours on this pristine lake! The water is extremely clear and refreshing. The beach area was awesome for our 3 young grandsons playing in the sand with their trucks. There is a sandy shallow cove area to the left of the beach that make it nice for the kids to swim and play more independently. They really enjoyed the Lilypad! The cabin is a classic cozy cabin with many newer updates being made; however no A/C. The weather was cooler in the evenings which made it comfortable to sleep. Overall we were pleasantly surprised! Steve and Krista were extremely prompt in their communication with us; they are very gracious and welcoming hosts! Thanks again for the awesome week!!

Amazing lake in a charming older cabin

We had a lovely week. Cabin provided for a great family getaway. Loved the loon calls and the water was so clear. Biggest negative was the very nice property owner taking care of the ground while we were wanting to have the place to ourselves. Twice I didn’t get to sleep in because he was hauling things around on the property, once our evening was disturbed because he kept watering the lawn and leaving it on for long stretches before remembering and moving the sprinklers again, and then the final morning we should have had a few hours to enjoy the place but he was out there mowing. We had dogs that were well behaved but had to be restricted with all the watering and mowing. If that work had to be done, seems like it could have been coordinated around the day we explored Itaska park. This could be a 5 star place, with so many places to sit and view the lake, kayaks to play on the water, and multiple rooms to spread out in. Just wish the yard work hadn’t spoiled the magic.

Exactly what we were looking for!

Our family spent 4 days at Steve and Amy's property on Bad Medicine Lake. We wish we could have stayed several more days...better yet, the entire summer! We had been at the property for approximately 5 minutes when Steve and Amy coasted up to the dock in their boat after an afternoon ride. Steve was standing behind the wheel and greeted us by name as they drifted in. We're not entirely sure if Steve and Amy welcome all their guests in this way, but it sure made us feel like rock stars! The cabin is a stones throw from the water. Some of the clearest water we've ever seen in Northern MN. The hosts allow use of their paddle boat (seats 4), two single-person kayaks and paddles, and an aluminum row boat that comfortably fit one adult and two kids for several fishing outings. Speaking of fishing, we mentioned to Steve our kids liked to fish and he asked if we had any live bait. We did not. Well, that night he returned from dinner with a fresh carton of crawlers for us to use! Very thoughful. The little swimming beach is where our kids spent most of their time running in and out of the water diggin, collecting rocks, and chasing minnows. There's an epic swing set right on the water's edge that was a crowd favorite for our family. The cabin grounds were plenty big enough to toss a frisbee and we really enjoyed the fire pit and appreciate the use of the host's firewood. The highlight of the cabin itself is the front room that overlooks the water. We spent the majority of our time in this room eating or playing games at the large dining table and relaxing on the couch and oversized recliner. We absolutely loved the breeze coming in through the open windows. The two bedrooms and two baths were plenty for our family of five. Our kids enjoyed the foosball and ping pong tables down in the basement. We found the kitchen to be extremely well stocked in terms of utensils (even sharp knives!), dishwear (thank you for having plastic cups instead of all glass!), and appliances. Our family brought several games on the trip, but found the selection of games and books at the cabin to be so good that I don't think we even touched one of our games. Steve's book collection is extensive and a highlight of the trip for me was finding a fun novel to binge read after the kids went to bed. In short, our trip to this property was everything we wanted for a relaxing, family-centric getaway. All we can say is you better book this property before we do!

Beautiful Beach/Poorly Maintained Cabin

I have never written a negative review before and hesitate to now, but I feel that it’s important for other renters to know what we did not before renting this property. I preface with saying that this is our experience and that yours may be different. Our preferences may differ from others. When we arrived, the owner was there to walk us through the property and the massive amounts of do’s and don’ts. Don’t flush the toilet too often, don’t take too many showers, don’t do laundry unless absolutely necessary (why bother having it available?). There were so many that it gave us misgivings right off the bat. He was friendly, but overbearing. He stayed in a guesthouse on the property less than 50 feet from the house which was very uncomfortable and allowed for zero privacy. Thank goodness he didn’t stay the whole week, just Saturday thru Wednesday. The house also had very close neighbors. So close that one night we had to close all the windows because they were so loud. As for the cabin itself, in my opinion, it was not professionally cleaned before we checked in. Since the owner has you clean the entire house for him before you leave, I assume no other cleaning gets done, except maybe the bathrooms, although you have to clean those before checking out too. There was a list showing that some surfaces get sanitized due to COVID restrictions, which was nice. When we did our finally clean up, we found previous renters garbage under chairs and a lot of corner cobwebs. The kitchen was very dirty upon our arrival. The cupboard surfaces, the rug, the floor, all had dirt build up. We tried to leave it better than we found it but I resented having to do a massive amount of housework after paying what I consider a large sum to stay. Because the screen doors were old and had holes, there was a constant fly issue. Again, we expect a certain level of customer service that did not exist here. You were allowed one night of wood for a fire (shouldn’t that be included in the price?) if you used the propane, you had to replace it (Why isn’t a back up supplied as a perk of renting? It is other places). There was an obnoxious note on the refrigerator about keeping the door closed. I understand that there may have been past issues, but the note did not need to be so offensive as if addressing 5 year olds. Customer service goes a long way to building repeat business. We will not be going back.

Could not have asked for more

I'm sort of hesitant to write this review because the more people know how great this place is, the harder it will be for us to stay here next summer. The cabin was clean, comfy, and equipped with tons of amenities for rainy days, but why stay inside with Bad Medicine Lake being an absolutely top notch swimming/kayaking/boating option? The owners absolutely went above and beyond to make our stay amazing, and our whole family (including 9 and 4 year old kids) had an absolute blast. The biggest disappointment was that we had to leave. See you guys next summer!
