Exactly what our large family needed. Plenty of space and beds. Even a toy closet for the little ones. The hosts were so sweet and put up the baby gate, high chair, and pack-n-play.
Our state could not have been better, we were up here fishing from New York and weâre fortunate enough to find a location that reminded us both of home. Thank you, Barbara. Definitely a fine job.
We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and spacious for our group. Hosts checked in with us through out the weekend to see if we needed anything. Kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals. We all agreed we would return for future family gatherings. Thank you!
Despite the extremely cold weather we had a great time. Some short hikes and a short fire. The house was clean , beds comfortable and the hosts were very helpful
The property and the house were Fantastic! We had everything we needed, plus much more than we expected. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on returning in the future.
The house is extremely comfortable, with good-sized bedrooms, comfortable seating, and a well-stocked kitchen. The hosts are friendly and very responsive. The house is located in a wooded area close to Itasca State Park and Park Rapids -- a wonderful location. The only suggestion our group has was that the hosts remove the plug-in fragrances throughout the house before guests arrive since some people have fragrance sensitivities (we unplugged them and that took care of the issue). Otherwise, it was a wonderful property, location, and stay in the Minnesota woods!
Spent the weekend with friends exploring the area snd spending some time together. This is a beautiful home with everything you need. Barb is a great host.
This home was the perfect get away to meet my parents for a long weekend. Tucked in the woods, it was full of charm and had everything we needed. I loved how clean it was and the way it was beautifully decorated. Thank you Barb for being an excellent host and communicating with us.
The six of us had a wonderful stay. Everything was very clean and comfortable, and there was plenty of room for us to gather together as well as have our own spaces when we needed time to ourselves. I highly recommend this property near Itaska State Park as well as Park Rapids for shopping and great eateries.
We had an absolute great weekend at your home! Beautiful place, beautiful property, and we hope to come back! Thank you so much for all of the hospitality and communication!
Very relaxing setting in the woods to unwind for a time away from the busy-ness of regular day to day. The hous was very clean. We had a very pleasant stay. The hostess was very easy to work with. We would be happy stay again!
Larry grew up near Herman, Mn and Barbara by Winthrop, Mn. We met during college and have been married for 36 years, have 4 grown children and enjoy 14 grandchildren! We moved to Park Rapids in June 2016 with a job change. We absolutely love this area, the change of seasons and the variety of things to do in the area, whether it be spring, summer, fall or winter.
While searching for a home, our priority was to find a home that would fill the needs of our family coming to visit. We wanted a warm inviting home with a large functional kitchen and an open floor plan so that when we were in the kitchen, we weren't separated from them. We found it!! We love this home and the feeling we have when we walk through the door. This property is secluded and not visible to others, but still very accessible to everything. Its like having our own piece of paradise! Everyone that comes to visit, does not want to leave. That brings us great joy, as we have created a place to relax, unwind, and have fun!
The first time we looked at this house while searching for a home, we both felt this was THE ONE! Well maintained and the interior spoke of one who loved it and graciously decorated it. It was everything we were looking for and move in ready! We have great views of our property from every window in this home and it is fun as to what you might see when you look out! The back porch swing has become a favorite for us, a place to unwind at the end of a work day to just catch up with each other and a great place to swing with the grandchildren. The property has wildlife that come in daily, especially the deer, occasionally wild turkeys, raccoon and fox. Whats really fun is to sit at the campfire and have deer or turkey wander in. The changing seasons are beautiful to watch here. The silent fall of the winter snow turning our property into a winter wonderland, to the first green buds of spring giving way to full green to completely enclose our haven. Fall begins and the colors are beautiful as everything prepares for winter. This home lends itself very well to snowmobilers. We are 1/2 mile from the Trail, so parking the trailers here and riding out is perfect. We also have a heated garage for all of your snowmobile gear and winding down after the ride. It is a place to come to relax and enjoy all seasons and the beauty of HIS creation!
