About this property
The Family Getaway on beautiful Potato Lake - Park Rapids, MN
The Family Getaway is a gorgeous first floor unit with a private deck overlooking one of the best beach on arguably one of the most sought-after lakes in the area. The previous Blue Heron Lodge is now privately owned and this peaceful spot offers a perfect blend of incredible beach and on-site fun only minutes from Park Rapids, one the most desired vacation spots in northern Minnesota. Completely redone, "The Family Getaway" has three bedrooms with the master being an oversized room, a full kitchen, high-speed internet, cable TV and your own deck less than 100' from the water. With only 3 units in the Lodge..."The Family Getaway" has privacy yet community at the same time. Perfect sunsets, light southernly breezes all within a protected bay. Including 300' of unmatched private sugar-sand beach (perhaps the best on the lake), on-site horseshoe pits, on-site washer/dryer, volleyball nets, kid's playground, fire pits, tetherball and more. Small fishing boats and a pontoon available for rent. FREE high speed WIFI and cable TV included. Potato Lake has amazing fishing as well as recreation and is also only minutes from numerous spectacular golf courses for all skill levels. Plus, there's always weekly fun activities in Park Rapids. It doesn't get any better than "The Family Getaway" on Potato!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Shawn Gray

We're Shawn & Carmen Gray - we purchased the old "Blue Heron Lodge" on Potato lake in 2014. We travel and do a bit of living/working overseas but also have our summer home on the property. We'd love to share this beautiful spot with you!
Why they chose this property
It's a 10 acre lot that is some of the best lakeshore on one of the most desirable lakes in northern MN. After growing up in the Park Rapids area we have spent the last 10 years traveling all over Asia. This area is "home" and we found the perfect spot in our hometown.
