Northwoods Retreat on Bad Medicine: Primär simning, vattensporter och snöskoter

Detta är en unik egenskap på orörda Bad Medicine Lake! När ägarens stuga "Red Top Resort", en trehyttig fastighet som är aktiv sedan 1930-talet, har den omvandlats till en lantgård med nordwoods-stil året runt samtidigt som den behåller sin rustika charm.

Huset har två sovrum och två badrum, två spisar, ett fullt utrustat kök, ett vardagsrum och en all-säsong veranda. Hela säsongen verandan har en utdragbar soffa för ytterligare gäster över natten (detta är praktiskt taget på vattnet och den bästa möjligheten att höra lummorna medan du sover!). Den oavslutade källaren har en tvättmaskin och torktumlare för din användning, och ett ping-pongbord för de inte så trevliga dagar eller kvällsunderhållning. Det finns också ett biljardbord.

Köket har ugn, spis, mikrovågsugn och kyl / frys. Andra små apparater och köksredskap, servis och köksredskap ingår också. Gästerna måste ta med sina egna mat- och flytvästar.

Det är inte ovanligt att fånga snorklare och till och med dykare runt sjön! Vattensporter som slang, vattenskidor och till och med segling är mycket populära.

Bad Medicine Lake är en fantastisk plats för Rainbow Trout och Walleye fiske! Det finns lager med Rainbow Trout varje år! En offentlig båtlansering ligger bara 10 minuter bort. Andra utmärkta fiskesjöer är lättillgängliga och i närheten.

Utmärkta snöskoterleder ligger precis vid sjön! Vandringslederna är välskötta, välskötta och ansluter direkt till många restauranger, bensinstationer och Lake Itasca State Park.


Närliggande aktiviteter

Lake Itasca State Park ligger ungefär 20 minuters bilresa bort. Gå över Mississippis bergsvatten eller njut av utmärkta cykel- eller vandringsleder. Snöskoter här på vintern är också mycket roligt!

Winter retreat

We loved the cozy cabin feel. Daily fires in the porch were a treat and that is where we enjoyed eating all of our family meals. Steve was helpful and kind. We hope to return next year. Thanks!

Beautiful getaway!

My wife and I enjoyed this stay very much! The cabin is roomy and full of light and has beautiful lake views. The property has great lake toys and a great place to get in the lake. We were very comfortable and the cabin was well appointed! Great place to spend a long weekend!

Classic Cabin Getaway

We spent a week here and had phenomenal weather and were able to spend many many hours on this pristine lake! The water is extremely clear and refreshing. The beach area was awesome for our 3 young grandsons playing in the sand with their trucks. There is a sandy shallow cove area to the left of the beach that make it nice for the kids to swim and play more independently. They really enjoyed the Lilypad! The cabin is a classic cozy cabin with many newer updates being made; however no A/C. The weather was cooler in the evenings which made it comfortable to sleep. Overall we were pleasantly surprised! Steve and Krista were extremely prompt in their communication with us; they are very gracious and welcoming hosts! Thanks again for the awesome week!!

Great Getaway!

My husband, mother and I had an excellent time and were impressed with the living space as well as how well equipped the kitchen was! Steve told us everything we needed to know when we arrived, and he was extremely respectful of our privacy. Great swimming area, the two docks are sturdy and each have seating areas at the end which was fun for star gazing at night. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the area and had fun swimming, boating and scuba diving on Bad Medicine.

Definitely Coming Back!

We loved everything! Steve greeted us with a warm welcome when we arrived and was very helpful. He even showed us areas around the lake! The house had everything and more! It’s a beautiful home and property! The gorgeous lake was perfect for skiing, tubing, swimming, and even off the dock fishing. We will definitely be coming back next summer! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Amazing lake in a charming older cabin

We had a lovely week. Cabin provided for a great family getaway. Loved the loon calls and the water was so clear. Biggest negative was the very nice property owner taking care of the ground while we were wanting to have the place to ourselves. Twice I didn’t get to sleep in because he was hauling things around on the property, once our evening was disturbed because he kept watering the lawn and leaving it on for long stretches before remembering and moving the sprinklers again, and then the final morning we should have had a few hours to enjoy the place but he was out there mowing. We had dogs that were well behaved but had to be restricted with all the watering and mowing. If that work had to be done, seems like it could have been coordinated around the day we explored Itaska park. This could be a 5 star place, with so many places to sit and view the lake, kayaks to play on the water, and multiple rooms to spread out in. Just wish the yard work hadn’t spoiled the magic.

Exactly what we were looking for!

Our family spent 4 days at Steve and Amy's property on Bad Medicine Lake. We wish we could have stayed several more days...better yet, the entire summer! We had been at the property for approximately 5 minutes when Steve and Amy coasted up to the dock in their boat after an afternoon ride. Steve was standing behind the wheel and greeted us by name as they drifted in. We're not entirely sure if Steve and Amy welcome all their guests in this way, but it sure made us feel like rock stars! The cabin is a stones throw from the water. Some of the clearest water we've ever seen in Northern MN. The hosts allow use of their paddle boat (seats 4), two single-person kayaks and paddles, and an aluminum row boat that comfortably fit one adult and two kids for several fishing outings. Speaking of fishing, we mentioned to Steve our kids liked to fish and he asked if we had any live bait. We did not. Well, that night he returned from dinner with a fresh carton of crawlers for us to use! Very thoughful. The little swimming beach is where our kids spent most of their time running in and out of the water diggin, collecting rocks, and chasing minnows. There's an epic swing set right on the water's edge that was a crowd favorite for our family. The cabin grounds were plenty big enough to toss a frisbee and we really enjoyed the fire pit and appreciate the use of the host's firewood. The highlight of the cabin itself is the front room that overlooks the water. We spent the majority of our time in this room eating or playing games at the large dining table and relaxing on the couch and oversized recliner. We absolutely loved the breeze coming in through the open windows. The two bedrooms and two baths were plenty for our family of five. Our kids enjoyed the foosball and ping pong tables down in the basement. We found the kitchen to be extremely well stocked in terms of utensils (even sharp knives!), dishwear (thank you for having plastic cups instead of all glass!), and appliances. Our family brought several games on the trip, but found the selection of games and books at the cabin to be so good that I don't think we even touched one of our games. Steve's book collection is extensive and a highlight of the trip for me was finding a fun novel to binge read after the kids went to bed. In short, our trip to this property was everything we wanted for a relaxing, family-centric getaway. All we can say is you better book this property before we do!

Could not have asked for more

I'm sort of hesitant to write this review because the more people know how great this place is, the harder it will be for us to stay here next summer. The cabin was clean, comfy, and equipped with tons of amenities for rainy days, but why stay inside with Bad Medicine Lake being an absolutely top notch swimming/kayaking/boating option? The owners absolutely went above and beyond to make our stay amazing, and our whole family (including 9 and 4 year old kids) had an absolute blast. The biggest disappointment was that we had to leave. See you guys next summer!

Beautiful Beach/Poorly Maintained Cabin

I have never written a negative review before and hesitate to now, but I feel that it’s important for other renters to know what we did not before renting this property. I preface with saying that this is our experience and that yours may be different. Our preferences may differ from others. When we arrived, the owner was there to walk us through the property and the massive amounts of do’s and don’ts. Don’t flush the toilet too often, don’t take too many showers, don’t do laundry unless absolutely necessary (why bother having it available?). There were so many that it gave us misgivings right off the bat. He was friendly, but overbearing. He stayed in a guesthouse on the property less than 50 feet from the house which was very uncomfortable and allowed for zero privacy. Thank goodness he didn’t stay the whole week, just Saturday thru Wednesday. The house also had very close neighbors. So close that one night we had to close all the windows because they were so loud. As for the cabin itself, in my opinion, it was not professionally cleaned before we checked in. Since the owner has you clean the entire house for him before you leave, I assume no other cleaning gets done, except maybe the bathrooms, although you have to clean those before checking out too. There was a list showing that some surfaces get sanitized due to COVID restrictions, which was nice. When we did our finally clean up, we found previous renters garbage under chairs and a lot of corner cobwebs. The kitchen was very dirty upon our arrival. The cupboard surfaces, the rug, the floor, all had dirt build up. We tried to leave it better than we found it but I resented having to do a massive amount of housework after paying what I consider a large sum to stay. Because the screen doors were old and had holes, there was a constant fly issue. Again, we expect a certain level of customer service that did not exist here. You were allowed one night of wood for a fire (shouldn’t that be included in the price?) if you used the propane, you had to replace it (Why isn’t a back up supplied as a perk of renting? It is other places). There was an obnoxious note on the refrigerator about keeping the door closed. I understand that there may have been past issues, but the note did not need to be so offensive as if addressing 5 year olds. Customer service goes a long way to building repeat business. We will not be going back.

Great property on a great lake

Property was as advertised, close to the water, great waterfront area with kayaks and paddle boat for use. Really great that dogs are allowed. One thing we found odd and the only reason for the 4 stars was that the owner was on the property the majority of the stay, using the power washer and fixing up an old dock to put his personal boat out. Steve is a very nice guy but never had so much contact with a property owner while doing a VRBO.
