Great cabin

Location was excellent! Very close to trappers landing where we rented a boat x 4 days. The cabin itself was great. Water pressure wasn’t awesome but good enough for a decent shower. Very quiet neighborhood. Cabins in the neighborhood are very close to each other!! Very small plots. Overall great place to stay. We would stay there again for sure!

Jackie, I am so glad you had a great time while staying at the Loon’s Nest! Yes, the checkout is on the early side.. but my cleaning staff has multiple cabins to turnaround and the Loon’s Nest happens to be first on the list. 🤷🏼‍♀️ somebody has to be first!

Place was clean, kitchen really well stocked beds were comfortable! Neighbors friendly and owner very nice and responsive. Close to public launch and beach, we didn't have a boat but nice and easy access to dock across street. We visited Walker and Itaska State Park while we were there. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay while exploring Leech Lake the surrounding area!

Was decent stay

Overall was a decent stay, there was a few things on the property that could definately use maintenance (hole in sheetrock near main door) etc. and there is a neighbor on the north side of the street that was up outside yelling drink till midnight the first night we could hear perfectly through closed windows. He woke our baby up multiple times. Was also very rude about my sister parking in front of the driveway and crossing the property line by maybe 2 inches.

Weekend Fish

The owner helped us identify/strategize our fishing. This was super helpful and greatly appreciated. The place was cool and quirky at the same time. We checked out at 9:04 with a disgruntled and impatient cleaner in a Range Rover. Seems to fit the "me" ness of a Range Rover owner. The 9:00 checkout is ridiculous in my opinion. Noon is the proper time in my opinion.

Hey Thomas! I am glad you enjoyed your stay and fishing advice went well. As far as the early checkout is concerned… my cleaning company has graciously provided me with service as I am a new customer and I am afraid I get the early slot for turnaround service. Next season I will be able to adjust that.

Great Family Get-A-Away!!!

We had an enjoyable experience staying at Moosehead. Paulette and Mike were amazing hosts and did an amazing job communicating with us throughout the stay. Mike also went out of his way to provide us with extensive information on fishing spots on Leech Lake + tips/tricks on how to catch Walleyes, Perch, and Muskies. The home had two spaces out front that fit two vehicles, but not large enough if you had a boat/trailer. There are enough parking spaces in the back next to the garage/pole barn that fit two trucks and two large boats – that’s where we parked. We did not use the dock to park our boats; without the lift, it would make it difficult to step onto the dock… still is possible but will require some work. We did, however, fish off the dock and caught a couple of fish. The location was good – far enough away from the tourist area, but close enough to town if you need to grab anything. There are a few public accesses nearby. The only cons we had about staying at Moosehead is the one-bathroom for 8 people, making it challenging for taking showers, plus the main bathroom did not have a lock on the door, which led to folks accidentally walking in on others. There’s no central AC in the house, but the window AC(s) upstairs really cool the rooms down, making it bearable during this hot/humid weather. Other than that, we had fun and enjoyed our time fishing on Leech Lake. We will visit again and will consider Moosehead for a future stay.

About the host

Hosted by Paulette Arens

Host profile image
Mike and I have been coming to Leech Lake since we were kids when each of our families would come for a yearly family vacation. Our dads' loved to fish and wanted to share that love of fishing with their children.We each became hooked; hook, line and sinker. Mike and I are avid fishermen. Mike has been a fishing guide and we have both been in numerous fishing tournaments. Now, as adults, we want to share that family 'up north' feeling with you. So we decided one way to do that was to host on VRBO.

Why they chose this property

The tiny community of Whipholt is located on the South end of Leech Lake where the views of the lake are so vast you would swear you are near the ocean. We feel this end of the lake has a Million Dollar view. It is right off Highway 200.
