Beautiful home. Verily attentive hosts. We went for a snowmobiling weekend and had enough parking for two 2-up trailers, a 4 up, along with 2 pickups and an SUV. The snowmobile trail was within 3 miles. We would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Extremely friendly and accommodating hosts and a beautiful property. The home was decorated very nice and it felt cozy. Lots of space for gathering and quiet space if you want to spend time alone. Fire pit patio was beautiful and everything was prepared and ready to go from prepared firewood to lots of blankets in the house and even boot dryers in the garage (which was a welcomed surprise since it was raining while we were riding the trails). We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Hi Butch and family!! Thank you for staying at our VRBO. Our goal is always to make sure our guests have a great experience and we are glad that you felt very welcome and relaxed in our home! Having a heated garage for snowmobilers has been an added plus that most people do not realize until they get here. So please share with others that our VRBO works really well for that. We love referrals and people coming back to enjoy what we offer and the Northwoods life. The house looked wonderful on our return, and if we could we would rate you at a 10 star! We'd love to have you back! Best wishes in 2023! Larry and Barbara Bumgardner

About the host

Hosted by Larry & Barbara Bumgardner

Host profile image
Larry grew up near Herman, Mn and Barbara by Winthrop, Mn. We met during college and have been married for 36 years, have 4 grown children and enjoy 14 grandchildren! We moved to Park Rapids in June 2016 with a job change. We absolutely love this area, the change of seasons and the variety of things to do in the area, whether it be spring, summer, fall or winter.

Why they chose this property

While searching for a home, our priority was to find a home that would fill the needs of our family coming to visit. We wanted a warm inviting home with a large functional kitchen and an open floor plan so that when we were in the kitchen, we weren't separated from them. We found it!! We love this home and the feeling we have when we walk through the door. This property is secluded and not visible to others, but still very accessible to everything. Its like having our own piece of paradise! Everyone that comes to visit, does not want to leave. That brings us great joy, as we have created a place to relax, unwind, and have fun!

What makes this property unique

The first time we looked at this house while searching for a home, we both felt this was THE ONE! Well maintained and the interior spoke of one who loved it and graciously decorated it. It was everything we were looking for and move in ready! We have great views of our property from every window in this home and it is fun as to what you might see when you look out! The back porch swing has become a favorite for us, a place to unwind at the end of a work day to just catch up with each other and a great place to swing with the grandchildren. The property has wildlife that come in daily, especially the deer, occasionally wild turkeys, raccoon and fox. Whats really fun is to sit at the campfire and have deer or turkey wander in. The changing seasons are beautiful to watch here. The silent fall of the winter snow turning our property into a winter wonderland, to the first green buds of spring giving way to full green to completely enclose our haven. Fall begins and the colors are beautiful as everything prepares for winter. This home lends itself very well to snowmobilers. We are 1/2 mile from the Trail, so parking the trailers here and riding out is perfect. We also have a heated garage for all of your snowmobile gear and winding down after the ride. It is a place to come to relax and enjoy all seasons and the beauty of HIS creation!
