About this property

Serene river apartment walking distance to downtown and Heartland Trail!

Enjoy the views of a river cruise without leaving the couch! Our newly-remodeled apartment has picturesque views of the Fishhook River and Red Bridge. Take a stroll or bike ride down the Heartland trail, or head to the cutest downtown in all of MN - both just a few minutes walk away. Enjoy coffee or cocktails on your private patio, fish from the private dock, and don't forget to bring your fur babies along, too! Free laundry available on-site.

We have a full kitchen and coffee bar for eating in. Get cozy in the private bedroom with attached bath. Additional sleeping space is available on the fold down couch. Across the river you will find Heartland Park, which features pickleball courts, a basketball court, playground, frisbee golf, and the Heartland trail, which is great for a short walk or longer bike ride. In winter months the trail is open for snowmobiles. The trail goes to neighboring towns including Dorset, Nevis and Walker. If you plan to bring any larger watercraft and need a landing, there is one located in the park also.

The apartment is situated in the lower level of the building, which is also home to an office space on the main level. You will have a private entrance, patio, and dock which is completely separate from the business operations. The parking lot is shared during the regular work hours.

This apartment was much more spacious than we expected. Loved the river view. It was very quiet despite being on the busy street. Easy walk to downtown. Queen bed was firm. The pull out sofa was comfortable. So nice to have access to a washer and dryer. Easy walk to the park for our dog. Close to the Heartland Trail. Overall very pleased with this apt and would recommend to anyone visiting Park Rapids.

The apartment is charming!! Marie was a great host, easy to reach when we had questions. We found everything we needed and then some. The kitchen is well equipped. There was plenty of bedding, and the fold out sofa was very comfortable. I regret we were not able to do fishing or swimming off of the dock because we were visiting family and busy, but it would’ve been ideal. The location is so pretty and we loved that we could walk into town for coffee, shopping, and food. I had read one review saying that it can be bright if you’re staying in the front area with the fold out couch. So we brought sleeping eye masks and had no problems. It was very quiet. We hope to come back again.

The place is beautiful and the lake right in front of the main entrance creates a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. As soon as we entered, we were welcomed by two comfortable living rooms that made the home feel warm and inviting. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the utensils we needed, making it feel just like home.The coffee station was a wonderful touch, offering a wide variety of coffee choices along delicious treats that made us feel welcomed. Our communication with the host, Marie was also excellent. From check in to throughout our stay, messaged us to ensure our comfort. The only downside was the bed linens seemed as though they had not been freshly washed, and there was an unpleasant smell throughout the house. I hope this can be improved for future guests.Overall, it's a lovely place for vacation.

Thank you for staying with us and for the feedback on your experience. We personally inspect between every stay and can guarantee all linens and towels are freshly washed between each guest. We were not made aware of any smell or dissatisfaction with the linens during communications throughout your stay, but would have been happy to address both had they been brought to our attention.

About the host

Hosted by Marie Luetmer

Host profile image
I am a Minnesota girl. I spent a few years in North Dakota, but realized I belonged in MN and moved back to the state in 2021. I love that I get to share our wonderful spot on the river with so many people. It's a great place to relax and make memories!

Why they chose this property

The location is the best aspect to our apartment. You get the best of Park Rapids in the natural scenery and wildlife, as well as being close to the vibrant downtown of local shops and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

As the only north-facing residential property in our bay of the river, you get the privacy of a secluded retreat while being just minutes from the downtown action. We have the best view of the red bridge in the city!
