Winter Family Trip
We stayed for 3 nights at this home over New Year’s Eve. The house had plenty of room for our big group. We had kids ranging from 1-17 and there was plenty of space for all and different things for all ages to do. The kitchen was nice and big and having two living rooms with TVs was great. We spent the majority of our time in the game room (which was super fun for everyone) we loved the dart board, bean bags and the pool table the most! Only thing missing was internet for the TV and Music. The fire pit by the lake was so nice to have on the colder days while everyone was out playing on the ice. Easy access to the lake was great for us who had four wheelers and ice fishing gear. The downstairs was a little colder than expected but did warm up once we found the space heaters. The owners responded very fast to any questions we had. We would book to stay here again!

Awesome Holiday Weekend
We had an amazing time over Labor Day weekend. The house was in great condition and the water “toys” were a huge bonus. Everyone had an amazing time and we would absolutely come back again! Thank you for an awesome stay! Pros: Pontoon, kayaks and paddle boat Plenty of space for everyone Near Itasca State Park (30 min) Cons: Number of plates - we had to keep doing dishes

This was our second time staying here. We love it because there is so much room to spread out. It’s so quiet and peaceful yet close to town. The cabin is so cozy and is very clean. Having the added bonus of the pontoon is a great way to enjoy the lake. We will be back next year! Thank you Kelly for sharing your cabin! So many great memories!

Terrific Week Away With Family
We had a wonderful week staying with extended family and friends. The cabin is great, all the beds were very comfortable and we had fun evenings watching movies all together. We enjoyed the lake for fishing and tubing and took several rides by the pontoon to Zorbaz. The pontoon was a wonderful plus. This is a great cabin and Kelly was very nice and responsive. We had a great stay and would recommend this place.

We had a great time! Each family had their own bedroom and we had plenty of room to gather together for eating and games. The grandkids loved the kayaks and paddle board.. We took the pontoon out for fishing and swimming which was an added bonus. It’s so peaceful yet close to town and other activities . Our only issue was not enough deck furniture but luckily we brought chairs from home. Kelly was very responsive to any concerns. He brought us new outdoor games during our stay. We would definitely recommend booking with Kelly. The log home is beautiful and cozy, We will be back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly

Host profile image
I currently call Park Rapids, MN home, where I spend my free time enjoying our beautiful private cabin. It's a special retreat for both me and my kids—our little slice of paradise. I have a passion for remodeling homes, and I love adding unique, personalized touches to every project I take on. Each space I work on is a reflection of creativity and craftsmanship. We’re excited to welcome you and can't wait to share our cabin with you once it’s ready. Whether you’re looking for a cozy getaway or a place to unwind, we look forward to making your experience unforgettable!

Why they chose this property

The property offers incredible privacy, with stunning views of the lake framed by towering pine trees. The serene atmosphere and breathtaking scenery truly sold me on this spot. It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature’s beauty in a peaceful, secluded setting. Whether you’re soaking in the lake views or simply relaxing among the trees, it’s an ideal retreat to recharge and connect with the outdoors.

What makes this property unique


We absolutely love the private view from our deck—unlike a resort, this is your own personal space to relax and enjoy. With a huge dock, pontoon included, and plenty of water toys like a paddleboard and three kayaks, you'll have everything you need for lakeside fun. Grilling on the deck is one of my favorite ways to cook, and our family enjoys swimming, paddle boating, kayaking, and taking the pontoon to the sandbar. For even more adventure, we love four-wheeling and snowmobiling, with miles of trails accessible right from the property. If you have your own ATV or snowmobiles, there’s plenty of trailer parking. On days when cooking’s not on the agenda, we take the pontoon to Zorbaz on the lake for delicious pizza, Mexican food, and cocktails. In the evenings, we gather around the bonfire, play board games, or watch movies. For those who love water sports, fishing boats, ski boats, and jet skis are available for delivery just 5 minutes away. Check out the photos and see all that this incredible getaway has to offer!
