About this property

This Property is set on Big Pine Lake, but it also has its own small private lake behind making the setting one of a kind. It's only 2 hours north of the twin cities near Brainerd. The fishing is great right off the dock. You can catch Sunnies, Crappies, small mouth Bass, and Northern Pike on Big Pine Lake. The water is about 1 feet at entry and is nice and clear for swimming. There is also a floating raft to swim to. You can bring your own boat; public access is down the road. We have 2 docks. One on the main lake and one on the small lake. Row boat, canoe, and paddle board available to use on the lakes. In addition to the lakes, there is lots of wilderness to explore (30 acres). The Master Bedroom has a queen size bed plus bunks and it's own bathroom. Bedroom 2 has a queen bed and single bed. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed and single bed loft. Fire pit yes! Our son cut firewood for all and accepts donations. And the kitchen is stocked with all the cooking essentials. Propane Grill on the deck. Amazing views and memories to be made.

Friendly Get Together

The place was absolutely perfect between the location and the house itself these last few days were quite fun. I’m sure during a more typical Minnesota winter you could have quite a lot of fun doing winter activities between the lakes and the wooded region itself. The house was in a very good state when arriving and checking in was extremely easy.

This place is fantastic

This place is fantastic in terms of location and things to do on the property and in the area, so many ways to play games and sports! The kitchen is large and well-appointed, and the place overall was wonderfully clean. Sheets and towels are high quality and plentiful. Communication with owner was slower and less outgoing than expected, but …oh well. We left a note about problems with the hall toilet, a table lamp with exposed wiring and a few other more minor fixables. We’d come again and recommend to all.

Beautiful property

Long weekend getaway. We enjoyed both the large lake and the small lake. My son especially enjoyed the calm, quiet waters of the small lake to catch and release. The large lake had lots of activities for us all-caught lots of fish using the boat and even caught some nice fish from the dock. A nice, peaceful property perfectly located - and yet never a reason for anyone to be bored-there was plenty of activities to do thanks to the owners thoughtfulness. Thanks for sharing this property with us.

About the host

Hosted by John W Shirley

We bought this property in 2015 and it has been quite the project getting is renter ready. The first thing we did for safety was tear down the old partially burnt down cabin in front. You can probably see where it was from the deck. We have been thru 7 dumpsters cleaning up that land. We are a family of 6. The kids have really helped us a lot. We have another property on Big Pine Lake close by in case you need anything or there are major concerns. But that being said we also respect our renters privacy.

Why they chose this property

This is just a really beautiful lot that we plan on building more on later as our family grows. And we have been coming to Big Pine Lake since we were children. It is our second home.

What makes this property unique

I think the most unique thing we have to offer is that small lake/pond that we call black lake. It is very deep and we have caught some dinosaur looking fish. That being said it is catch and release only!!!
