Our large group of guys had an amazing stay at this beautiful guest house tucked away in the peaceful countryside just outside of Pine River. The home itself was unique and full of character, and the outdoor spaces were just as impressive—perfect for relaxing and taking in the fresh air. The sunrises and sunsets were absolutely stunning and added something special to each day. Carol and Chaz were excellent hosts—welcoming, helpful, and thoughtful throughout our stay. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing getaway.

Cabin in Park Rapids

Perfect Little Sand Guest Cabin!

ChristineRating, 5 stars8 months ago

My husband and I were looking for a quaint, private, peaceful getaway. We definitely got more than we paid for. The cabin was beautiful inside and out. Amy truly thought of everything and more when it came to stocking and decorating the cabin. We lucked out with the fall foliage as the colors were gorgeous. Amy's husband, Chris recommended we try visiting Itasca State Park to take in the beautiful fall colors and it was amazing. We spent one full afternoon there. Our evenings were spent on the porch overlooking the lake watching the sunset. Our German Shepherd loved the property too. They even had the perfect accommodations for him.☺️ If you are looking for a great place to stay for fun and relaxation. We would highly recommend staying here! We will definitely be back!

Cabin in Hackensack

Tiny Cabin in the Woods

KathyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The pictures don’t do this cabin justice! It is bigger than the pictures make it look. The layout is nice. It has a variety of areas to sit in & relax. The screen porch with swinging bed is a neat addition. There is a decent sized fire pit with chairs around it. There were burning restrictions so unfortunately we couldn’t take advantage of that but would have had we been able to. We didn’t have to eat out as everything we needed we brought to cook on the full size stove/oven. It also had a large fridge, air fryer & many pots, pans, & utensils. It was very well maintained & very clean. It’s easy to find, not far off the main road, very peaceful & a great place to relax & enjoy the sounds of birds.

Paul Bunyan Trail Retreat

Faith MRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Scott was there when I checked in. He was very friendly and answered all my questions. This compact but functional camper was perfect for me and my little dog. I was visiting a friend close by most of the time, but it was quite delightful to sit on the deck and have coffee in the morning or hang out with my dog in the evenings. I slept well, enjoyed the coffee and the hot shower. If you are looking for a nice retreat in a wooded setting, this is a good place to go.
