Perham, Minnesota
Beautiful lake home on the North shore of Little McDonald Lake, which is an excellent fishing lake and a Trophy Walleye Lake. A totally separate, clean, quiet, private, secure, bright, classy, comfortable, 1,000+ sq foot guest house. House was remodeled inside and out in 2013. Amazing views of the lake & sunsets. Lakeside deck with seating/gas grill & gas firepit, big dock w/boat tie up, dock fishing, excellent beach w/dive raft, snorkel gear, canoe & crazy clean water. Loons will put you to sleep and birds will wake you up. Very relaxing!
The space
New, clean, comfortable, private and quiet. The space is totally separate from the main house and accessed through two of its own exterior doors. One faces a patio with fire pit, garage, driveway and front yard; the second faces the lake and you step onto the huge deck, grill area, yard and access to lakefront. There is 3rd lockable door that separates the space from the main house. 4th locked door on oposite end of hallway also separates owner side from space...so double doors separate spaces for added privacy. Large front entryway with huge closet is adjacent to Full Kitchen with beautiful Cedar woodwork throughout. Kitchen is open to living room and has 11 windows with lake and garden views galore! Kitchen is furnished really well... Coffee grinder, Caribou beans, Coffee Pot, pizza oven, microwave, toaster, paper and real dishes, spices and a blender in addition to all the normal kitchen stuff. French Doors are the entrance into a cool, dark, large cedar bedroom with big awning windows, air conditioning, ceiling fan and dark shades, it faces the living room and lake. There is a quality new queen size bed in the bedroom, two dressers, large closet filled with clean cotton towels & lots of extra bedding. Separate Electric heat controls for all rooms. Ceiling fans with up lights in bedroom and living room as well as portable fans for your space. Separate/private bathroom with large walk in rain shower, bathroom fan on timer and lots of hooks to hang towels. There is a table and 2 chairs near the kitchen with 2 more chairs to add from the bedroom. Two barstools, two leather chairs, a leather couch and coffee table make a cozy living room with an amazing view. The abundance of pillows and bedding will make it comfy for one person on the couch, two more on a queen size & one on a twin/two-2foot thick air beds with built in fans for easy inflating/deflating. The Bose HomLink has great sound and is bluetooth friendly. The TV is a smart TV. WiFi is fast! The space allows children but is NOT child proof nor child friendly! All children require consent adult supervision.

Nice walking on quiet paved roads adjacent to property.
Other things to note...
Walk down to the dock or the end of the driveway to see a night sky to be remembered! The Big Dipper never looked this close!
I am a big outdoorsman, I can help with hunting, fishing, golfing and more. I like to take guests fishing and am willing to even teach them how to fish, tie knots, what to use for bait, how to clean fish. All equipment supplied if I am your guide. I have also been known to invite guests into my space for adult beverages and maybe even fish tacos or something yummy on the smoker. Pictures of my side are included for that reason as some guests have become great new friends!
I can also take you on boat or pontoon rides/lake tours, Sunset boat rides, star gazing, swimming on the lake community beach...you name it! It just needs to be planned. I'm going to make sure you have a great time so you don’t hesitate to give me a 5 Star rating and come back soon!

This is a great place to stay for girls weekend! There were four of us, we had plenty of room and we were all comfortable. We got to check in early, free of charge which was awesome! The rental was very clean. There was no trace of pet hair or dander like a previous review suggested. The shoreline was nice and flat which made access to the lake very easy. There was no sand for kids to play, however, the lake appeared to have a nice sand bottom. The doc was large, geat for sunbathing, there were even some nice lounge chairs out for us to use. This was a great location with great shopping and restaurants 10 mi away. My only recommendation would be to add blinds, shades or curtains to the wall of windows in the living room. The view of the lake is beautiful however, it got pretty hot during the day and I felt like it lacked privacy at night. The hot tub wasn't working which was a bummer. The grill wasn't working, but It sounded like it was just recently damaged and the owner was looking into getting it fixed/ replaced. I would definitely stay here again!
We stayed there for a week in August and it was great. Everything was as described and the host (Thomas) was very gracious, helpful and friendly! We will definitely return if our situation allows us to! It was perfect for our family of four. Perham is only a few miles away as is Dent and Vergas so there are many restaurants and grocery stores within driving distance. Little MacDonald is a great little lake. We aren’t fishermen but we heard a lot about the good walleye fishing there. Overall it was a great experience.
