Calling Outdoor Adventurers! Potato Lake Home, with Game Room and Sauna!

Your vacation home search has ended! You don’t need to look any further. Escape the city, escape your to-do list and find peace in this gorgeous one of a kind property that has everything you want, and so much more! Although we do not have our own beach or swimming area, there are several very close by at beaches and parks. This home is perfect for boating enthusiasts, and there is something for everyone at The Eagle’s Nest Lake House.

Just 12 minutes outside of Park Rapids, 25 minutes to Itasca State Park and the Headwaters of the Mississippi River, and only 50 minutes to Paul Bunyan in Bemidji, along with Buena Vista Ski Resort. Just around the corner from the house you will find The Character Challenge Course and Summerhill Adventure’s.

For those who want to spend time outdoors, you couldn’t find a better home base to adventure from. We are perched just above Potato Lake West Access, with plenty of parking available on our property for your boats and toys. Although we do not have our own dock on the lake, you will find that putting your boat into the lake is a seamless process, with lake access literally in the front yard. If you don’t have your own boat, we have rental locations that can bring the boat to you!
There are snowmobile and ATV trails galore surrounding our property. The fishing is amazing on Potato Lake, and we’re closely connected to several other lakes including Fishhook and Eagle Lake. There are so many outdoor adventures waiting for you here!

In the summer months, enjoy our Fire Pit and multiple outdoor sitting areas, along with a large propane or charcoal grill. There is a corn hole game ready and waiting for your enjoyment!

For those who prefer to stay inside and relax, we also have all you need. Everything in the home is brand new! This peaceful home was designed to be equally enjoyable for every type of vacationer!

The house has 4 comfortable bedrooms, all equipped with smart TVs. Each bedroom has high quality linens and comfortable mattresses. Each of the 3 full bathrooms will provide you with plenty of towels, rain-head showers, and a set of travel size toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, body wash and bar soap for your convenience.

Your main kitchen is fully stocked with all of the dishes, pans, and utensils you’ll need to cook for your family, as well as a stocked spice cabinet for your convenience.

There is a large capacity washer and dryer available for your use, and we provide detergent and fabric softener for 2 loads, should you need to use them during your stay.

Your game room is very spacious, with plenty of room for your whole group. It’s complete with an Air Hockey table, a Billiards table, 2 Arcade Games, a Ping Pong table, a seating area with a 70 inch UHD smart TV with Bose Surround Sound, an XBox with games, and a fully stocked board game, card game and puzzle cabinet for your enjoyment. The game room also has its own kitchenette, complete with a beverage cooler. (Gameroom Fireplace is locked, and will turn on as emergency heat source only. It is not to be turned on or used by guests)

The Sauna is yours to enjoy for those with adult supervision, on those cold nights or after coming back from a chilly outdoor adventure.

Moving through the house you will find that we’ve thought of many details to add a special touch to your stay. You’ll find several cozy 10x10 big blankets, multiple device charging stations throughout the house, great high speed internet, extra beach towels, great classic novels for the readers in the group, and so much more!

Look no further! We have not only what you need, but everything you want for your next vacation in the heart of Minnesota!

Fantastic stay at Eagles Nest.

Our stay at Eagles Nest over labor day weekend was fantastic! The home was very clean and had everything you would expect to find in a rental home. The arcade games and ping pong were a hit with the kids. Great view of potato lake and very close to a boat launch. Richelle was very communicative and quick to respond with any questions. Would definitely stay again!

Annual snowmobile trip

Overall the trip was good. We had some minor issues with the thermostat, kept resetting to 60 degrees at night and getting really cold. Richelle was notified a couple times and was finally able to correct the problem. Property was nice. Nice location for fishing and snowmobiling.

Beautiful modern and spacious

What a great property! Even though we had a rainy weekend, we had a great time playing tons of games, having a fire and eating tons of food There was a lot of space for us 8 friends to sleep and hangout. A good communal area is hard to find but this was perfect. A challenge course is just down the road which was a highlight. Good location to go into Park Rapids.

Summer Vacation

The property and the house were very beautiful! It was a great location to see the sights in the area. We had a great time!! Richelle was very quick to respond to our questions and concerns! I would highly recommend this property for a large group! Each family was able to have their own rooms and there was plenty of room for all of us to gather in the common areas. The video games, ping pong table, and air hockey were a big hit with the whole family!

Amazing!!!

Rented this over Thanksgiving for my family (5 with kids ages 8,6,4) and my 2 siblings and their spouses. Kid room with bunk beds was awesome setup. The arcade games and ping pong with the tv there with good speakers - great. Tons of fridge space and multiple areas perfect for giving people a little space at times. Liked the Bible verse too :) Great view from the kitchen / living room. Beds are really nice. Of course an awesome area.

Great stay at the Eagle Nest!

This house is all as described in the listing! My fishing club was having a tournament on Potato Lake and the Eagle’s Nest was home base for 7 of us for 3 nights. The property more than met our needs; great well stocked kitchen, comfortable common areas for hanging out, and a lot with a Great Lake view. There is a public access right in front of the house that worked for 19 to 20 foot bass boats and plenty of parking for cars with boat trailers AND outlet to charge boat battles at night. We all enjoyed our stay and Richelle always answered our questions quickly and thoughtfully.

Continues Quietly Living In My Soul

Within this space my family grew healthfully in ways yet to be fully understood, as the experience we shared lives on in our time and future visions. I could not have imagined, plus actually did experience, so much combined meeting of each and also such easy access to private moments. Perhaps it was what we were seeking, but it was clearly enabled and available at the " Eagle's Nest ." Thank You.

Our stay at this home was fine overall, but there were some big drawbacks. The biggest issue was the water: it was extremely hard and orange, which stained clothing, our kids’ crocs, Stanley cup, and even left an orange tint on our skin. The toilets and showers were also stained, which made things feel less clean.The master bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable, which made it hard to get a good night’s sleep.On the positive side, the hostess was nice and responsive. The house had lots of activities for the kids in the game room, and the outdoor space was very nice — they even provided firewood, which we appreciated. The kitchen was well stocked with all the plates and utensils we needed.Overall, it had some nice features for families, but the water quality really affected our stay.

Hello Lindsay! I’m so sorry you had a negative experience at our home. It’s always our goal that our guests have only positive to say, and generally we accomplish that. I do wish you would have let us know about the water situation while you were staying so we could have sent someone out to look at the softener. That is not at all something we would want to have happen during your stay, and there was indeed an issue with the softener unit. We rectified the issue immediately once we learned of it. Again, please accept our apologies!

Perfect place to hang out in

Property was great! Had 3 couples enjoying a bday weekend and had plenty of nice space. Upstairs was nice and spacious with great kitchen and downstairs had a great bar area, plenty of cold storage and a fun room with a ton of things to do. The extra garage was amazing as we had a boat with us. Big storm came through and we were able to get 3 big trucks and a boat into storage and out of the elements! Much appreciated. Owner checked in on us just the right amount of times and made it feel as if they were there for us if we needed anything. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us! We had a blast
