Spacious home with room to spread out.
Family weekend we rented this property. Beautiful area and the home had enough room for 14 of us to sit together for meals, but enough room to spread out and get away from each other when needed. Game room got a lit of use and home theater was awesome. Only downfall is the address listed didnt match location in our GPS. Had to use the VRBO app to find the actual location.

Great place for a family trip
Great place to take the whole family. All 19 of us were accommodated nicely and there were plenty for the kids to do as well. They especially loved the theater room. The property was nice and clean when we arrived. Kelly had great communication with me the whole time and always replied to my questions within a few hours of asking. Everyone is already talking about coming back for the summers now!

Good
The property is as it appears in the pictures, nothing atrocious is hidden like with other rentals I have paid for. The kayaks were enjoyed by all, even in the chilly October weather. The piano (a really nice keyboard), pool table, and dart board were utilized every day, several times a day. Overall, it was exactly what I was expecting to get.

Kansas Family Summer Vacation
This is our second time in the Park Rapids area and all 16 voted to return in the future! Our email communication with Kelly during the process of booking and prior to arrival was excellent. By the time we got there, we were all ready to have a great time with no concerns or questions. Everything was as stated. In fact, except for going to the headwaters of the Mississippi at Itasca State Park (well worth the pretty drive) and to pick up more groceries and fishing worms, we spent our time on the pretty property/river/ lake/home. What a perfect place with so many activities/amenities for ALL ages! It was exactly what we all wanted for our lake vacation. Thank you and God bless!

Family Vacation
We really enjoyed the house. Plenty of space and really like the game room and movie theater room. We also enjoyed the large yard for volleyball and other outdoor games. Our only issue was the high level of weeds off the beach. Heavy weed cover started about 15 feet from the beach, which was fine for the 4 year old, but not for the 2 preteens that want to swim in deeper water.

Great Large Family Venue
Our family, including our five children & their families, traveled 8-12 hours to celebrate our 35th Anniversary. This lake house offered us so many opportunities to gather as a group in the kitchen/great room area as well as smaller groups on the 3 different porches. Privacy was possible with the ample rooms & 3 bathrooms. We enjoyed swimming-kayaking-fishing-Olympic watching -campfires-shopping at some unique boutiques in Park Rapids as well as worship time together on Sunday!. So many great memories were made! Thanks!

Perfect for our Large Group!
Our family of 16 (ages 7 to 68) stayed for a week in July. The home is exactly as described and the kitchen is a dream. The second refrigerator downstairs was an added bonus, as was the rain shower heads. We rented the pontoon for 3 days. Kelly directed us to a sandbar in Fishhook Lake. It was a great place for the kids to swim and play in the water. In the evenings, we took "adults only sunset cruises." The home theater was a hit with everyone, especially the teens. Kelly was quick to repond to texts and answered all our questions. He was very easy to work with. There are a ton of things to do in the Park Rapids area. We drove to Itasca State Park to see the Mississippi headwaters, drove go carts and water bumper boats at Evergreen Fun Park, played golf, went shopping downtown, and of course, did some fishing. And we actually caught some!

Clean and spacious!
This place is amazing. We had a larger group, and there were plenty of bedrooms to choose from and numerous bathrooms. The kitchen was spacious, clean and accommodating. My group consisted of 8 people, and we had an amazing time congregating around the kitchen island, enjoying morning lake views from the living room, and we especially enjoyed watching a movie on the huge projection screen in the family room. We stayed in the off season, so our group did not take in the lakeside attractions, but this property definitely would have been amazing to enjoy in the summer. The large lot and lakefront area looked inviting and relaxing. It’s a perfect distance from town. It was private, yet local! Thanks for a great family getaway!

Vacay at its Best!
My large family loves this place! (14 peeps, ages 6-65) They enjoy all being together under the same roof instead of separate cabins. Rented the pontoon for the week, Had a Taylor Swift era tour viewing with the grandkids in the theater room on a rainy morning. I caught a huge bass of the dock, and the grandkids caught multiple pan fish and we're entertained for hours The owner has everything you need! We missed coming here last year because the timeframe was already booked. But, we are on top of the game for next year! My only suggestion would be to bring a few containers with lids for leftovers and maybe some ziploc bags. Thanks for another week of amazing memories!
