Lake Country Home in the Pines Is A Relaxing Vacation Getaway

We were in the area for a family reunion. This property is excellent for a larger group (we have 9). Everything extremely clean. Well decorated. Well stocked. Could simply not ask for a better property for our purposes! Barbara met us there and showed us around and explained everything to us. Very pleasant experience and hope to book this property again!

Beautiful house, check-in is very smooth, instructions and house manual are clear.

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.

Beautiful house, has all the accommodations you want in a stay. Host is friendly and communicates well. Would definitely stay again.

This home was everything my four sisters and I could have hoped for - and then some! It was clean, inviting, and beautiful! The kitchen was very well-equipped, and we didn't even have to buy coffee filters! What was especially impressive is that the host contacted me in advance to see if we planned to use the pull-out bed in the lower level and the bed on the four-season porch so that she could have them all made up for us (which she did!). The house is very roomy - whether you're gathering in the living room, the kitchen/dining room, or the lower level family room. We loved the four season porch and the two decks. It was also very conveniently located - just a few miles from the town of Park Rapids with its wonderful little downtown and shops, not to mention some great restaurants. (Thanks for the recommendations, Barbara!) We also drove just 10 miles north of Park Rapids to Itasca State Park, where you can see the headwaters of the Mississippi and literally walk across the river! They have a beautiful and educational Visitors Center and lots of walking paths. I cannot recommend this property highly enough! We usually go to a different destination every year for our Sisters' Trip, but if we decide to go back to the Park Rapids area, we'll definitely try to stay here!!

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!

Excellent home in a beautiful setting. Addition all instructions for upstairs fireplace would be helpful. Hot water issues will be resolved but Barb and Larry were very responsive when we had an issue and provided instructions, so we were fine thereafter. We highly recommend this lovely home. Thank you Barb & Larry!

What a lovely home and very kind hosts. The house was very clean and equipped with everything we could possibly need and more. There are multiple ways to enter the house for easy access, as well as many places to sleep if needed. The location is perfect, secluded, private, and so beautiful. Thank you for the great stay!

Exactly what our large family needed. Plenty of space and beds. Even a toy closet for the little ones. The hosts were so sweet and put up the baby gate, high chair, and pack-n-play.

This home is gorgeous both inside and out! A perfect place to relax. There was so much room- perfect for families.

Our state could not have been better, we were up here fishing from New York and we’re fortunate enough to find a location that reminded us both of home. Thank you, Barbara. Definitely a fine job.

This was a perfect location for us ATVing and ebiking with friends and family. Enjoyed our stay, comfortable beds and enjoyed the firepit!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and spacious for our group. Hosts checked in with us through out the weekend to see if we needed anything. Kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals. We all agreed we would return for future family gatherings. Thank you!

Beautiful and very well kept place. Host was great!

The house is extremely comfortable, with good-sized bedrooms, comfortable seating, and a well-stocked kitchen. The hosts are friendly and very responsive. The house is located in a wooded area close to Itasca State Park and Park Rapids -- a wonderful location. The only suggestion our group has was that the hosts remove the plug-in fragrances throughout the house before guests arrive since some people have fragrance sensitivities (we unplugged them and that took care of the issue). Otherwise, it was a wonderful property, location, and stay in the Minnesota woods!

Despite the extremely cold weather we had a great time. Some short hikes and a short fire. The house was clean , beds comfortable and the hosts were very helpful

Spent the weekend with friends exploring the area snd spending some time together. This is a beautiful home with everything you need. Barb is a great host.

Property secluded, beautiful inside and out. Owners were very friendly and informative. Would love to come back with the whole family.

The property and the house were Fantastic! We had everything we needed, plus much more than we expected. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on returning in the future.

Larry and Barbara were perfect hosts for this home secluded in the woods just north of Park Rapids, MN. It’s their personal home and it is very well maintained. The bedrooms and living areas were very comfortable and created a great environment for family get-togethers. We used their pellet-fueled BBQ grill for dinner one night and enjoyed using their fire pit just outside by the driveway and the trees. It’s just a short 20 minute drive to Itasca State Park. They had a large screen TV in the bottom floor that was great for a family movie night. Highly recommend their home for a vacation!

Great place to stay with family while exploring Itaska.

This home was the perfect get away to meet my parents for a long weekend. Tucked in the woods, it was full of charm and had everything we needed. I loved how clean it was and the way it was beautifully decorated. Thank you Barb for being an excellent host and communicating with us.

Loved this property! The home is beautiful and welcoming. Secluded in the trees it provided the glamping experience near the park and nature activities we were looking for! Enough space to fit two families comfortably and a kitchen space we adored! The fire pit was a great way to end the night with s’mores!

We had an absolute great weekend at your home! Beautiful place, beautiful property, and we hope to come back! Thank you so much for all of the hospitality and communication!

We loved our stay! We had a large group (4 adults and 4 kids between the ages of 5 and 13) and there was plenty of room for everyone. Barbara was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. We spent our days in Itasca State Park and took advantage of the spacious kitchen to prepare meals and hang out in the evenings. Our whole crew usually stays in a vrbo each August and this might be our favorite one yet!

Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay very much where there was plenty of room for all of us, everything was clean and well cared for, and the home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property has beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy. Barbara was very welcoming and helpful - thank you for sharing your property!

6 of us came up to explore greater MN and celebrate my husband's 67th birthday, we had a blast and were pleasantly surprised at the luxurious accommodations' when we arrived! Would highly recommend to others and definitely book again!
