Make yourself at home in this 3-bedroom Park Rapids retreat. Our cabin is located on a quiet, private lake. Bad Axe Lake is known for its clarity and great swimming waters. Fish for sunnies, crappies, bass, northern and muskie right off the dock. Bad Axe is home to Camp Wilderness, a camp for Cub Scouts and Scouting America Youth, Isle O’ Dreams Lodge, a great family resort, and several private family cabins and homes. It is next to popular Mantrap Lake, 10 minutes away from Zorbaz and Big Sand Lake. You can take a 15 minute drive into town to shop around, or a 10 minute drive to eat at the old Logging Camp.

We loved this property! A real rustic traditional cabin vibe! Host was super responsive and nice!Would definitely come back but we thought it needed a few things to make it a 5 rating:1) there were no water toys or anything to use on the water. Would really have enjoyed a paddle boat or 2 kayaks. The lake was beautiful ... really wanted to go out on it. 2) Exterior of cabin/roof/ gutters could use a good pressure washing and cleaning. Lots of cobwebs, spiders, old bird nests and dead branches and pine needles. I know its hard to keep up with these things in the north country but just an observation. But it was truly an old fashion cabin experience. We absolutely loved it!!
