We had such a wonderful time at this spacious home! We were 18, 10 adults and 8 children. There was something for everyone to enjoy! The young ones especially liked the beach area and enjoyed fishing right off the dock! We also spent a lot of time on the pontoon. We had beautiful weather all week, so that helped. There is such a big yard! We enjoyed playing yard games in the big yard and also the bonfire area in the evenings. Kelly was so kind and quick to respond whenever we had a question. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

Family Gathering

This is a great place! We loved the separation of the bedrooms upstairs so we could put the younger ones down for naps and still spend time in the main area. Beautiful kitchen, porches, and views. The activities downstairs were a hit with all, and the town itself is really cute! The only thing I’d suggest is to bring a few extra blankets, as some of the rooms were hard to adjust at night.

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!

Great place for a weekend getaway

Upon arrival, the place was beautiful. The interior design and layout is gorgeous. Spacious and roomy for our group of 11. Our favorite spot of the house is probably the theatre room, the bean bag in there is so comfortable! Everyone loved it. Would love to get one for ourselves. Overall we had a great time there and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great stay. We’ll be back for sure. Thank you!

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!

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!

the home was beautiful

Our family vacation at this home was wonderful. There were 14 of us this time and everyone said their beds were very comfortable. The entire family enjoyed the movie room and the pool table. We were there in July and a couple days we were very warm and humid, the air conditioner had a hard time keeping up. We ended up going to Walmart and getting a few more fans to circulate the air. I have trouble walking so the climb from the shore to the house was difficult for me but the rest of the family thought it was great exercise. I would recommend this home to other families. The people in the home the week before us had put some pans away greasy so we washed everything before we used it but that certainly was not the home owners fault. I always rent a pontoon for our family vacations, the one that we got with this home was probably the most expensive I have ever rented and was not the nicest but could have been all that was available in this area. Again, I would recommend this property for a family gathering.

This home was perfect for our group of friends! It is spacious and well-appointed, with everything in the kitchen we could possibly need, plenty of bath towels and comfortable bedding. Each bedroom allows for individualized cooling, making it perfect for this group of "I'm cold, I'm hot" friends. The owner was extremely gracious, promptly answering my questions even though I was oblivious to the information posted in the house and was asking questions that were clearly answered in information sheets at the front door and in the kitchen. When we did run into one minor need (dishwasher detergent) he delivered a supply immediately. We couldn't have asked for a better host! All in all, I would highly recommend this VRBO and should our group gather again in Park Rapids, I suspect we will want to locate here again.

Second time we have rented the house. Family get together for 13 of us. Plenty of rooms. Kitchen area and huge island very accommodative for our group size. We also rented the pontoon which was enjoyable on the lake. It was a rainy week so the theatre room was a big hit with the family. Kelly was easy to work with, which added to the experience.

Great place for our large extended family. Sleeping areas are mostly separated off from high traffic areas which helped a lot with our littles. Nice sandy beach with slow sandy drop off for kids wading. Nice quiet protected spot on the river/resivour with the big lake not too far of a boat ride.

This property provided everything we needed for our family. The cabin has plenty of space for our large group. We enjoyed the screened in deck with a lovely view, the patio outside the master bedroom, the downstairs theater room & game room, and the kitchen area. The kitchen has just about everything we needed. We had little ones who loved the private beach area with a shallow entry and crystal clear water. The pontoon was great, too! Kelly was responsive and helpful. We look forward to going back!

Absolutely perfect for our family!

Thank you for a wonderful week! This VRBO is a great place to gather with family or friends. The living areas and bedrooms are clean, spacious, and so accommodating! The kitchen is well-stocked, bedroom and closets have hooks for clothes and drawers, flat surfaces, etc. to store things. The game room and movie room are perfect for hours of fun. There’s a basketball hoop outside and a volleyball net… basketballs and volleyballs are right there for our use too… which prompted us to notice how this owner had pretty much thought of everything! … and we were reminded of that often during the week when we looked for something…. it seemed we always found what we needed.:) (even sand toys down by the beach!) The big lawn space was especially nice too for corn hole tournaments, kick ball, baseball, frisbee, etc! Great fishing off the great dock for little ones wanting to fish. And we so appreciated being able to leave our boat in one of the available slips all week. If there was a “6 or 7…or 10 star” rating to give this place, we would! But since there isn’t, we will give it the best we can, and lock it in for the 5-star. :) It was absolutely perfect for us… can’t wait to come back again. Thank you again!

Great house on an excellent location. I was surpised on how well the rooms were sound proof. We could put a baby to bed upstairs and the adults and teens could make noise down in the game/theater room without disturbing the young ones.
