I cant believe how stocked this home was you really don't need to bring anything, its unbelievable. We really enjoyed the sunroom area looking at the lake with our morning coffee. The pontoon allowed us to explore the lake and also just float listening to music and enjoying the sun or swim which our grandson enjoyed .The worse part was those darn geese. At a certain time of the day they always come ashore and just poop all over the place so we had to pick it up or we would try and get them to not come ashore so we wouldn't step on it and they poop on the dock too. The host has done a lot to deter them but they just won't give and there is like 10-14 of them. We really enjoyed this place all in all and will be going again next year.

Perfect spot for family gathering

We were so pleased with the house. Very clean and a great fit for our group. We loved the water sport options. There is so much seating available on a great deck overlooking the lake. We hope to return next summer. Would highly recommend.

Great place to stay for a guys trip for a weekend of fishing.

Nice, quite little cabin right on lake bemidji with easy access to the lake for ice fishing. Was clean and had everything we needed. Property manager was super great to work with. Plenty of room for parking 3 trucks and trailer. Planning on booking again for next years ice fishing trip.

Fantastic home! So many amenities and close to Bemidji for convenience but far enough to have the out in the woods feel. Bike trail is so close to the house - we enjoyed that quite a bit. We also enjoyed the kayaks, SUP and outdoor space. Highly recommend!

This location was so well stocked! We never had to think..."Gee...I wish they had xyz here." There was also a wide variety of activities to keep our teens busy, which gives Mom & Dad a chance to relax! The wildlife (right in the backyard) was amazing! The fishing was pretty good too!

We had two family reunions and it is such a perfect location. Very private and so much room for everyone. The kids enjoyed the water sports, yard games and fishing. The adult had plenty of space outside and inside when the weather didn’t cooperate. The kitchen is very nice. We found everything we needed for a great long weekend. Thank you!!!!

What a great place to stay! All the little touches of great hosts. The chocolates, the bathroom counter items that are easily forgotten when traveling, the quality of the beds-sheets-pillows and blankets- the deck and fire pit with the fire pit all ready to light and enjoy. By far the best VRBO rental I have ever booked. Can you please tell me where you found the sticker? I want to get one for everyone in our group, the ones I have found are all much larger. We will definitely be back. The group is wondering when we can book this same weekend for next year.

Great house, great owners!

This was our first time on a lake in MN. We have gone to N. Michigan for many, many years but as I had some business in Minneapolis, we decide to tack on a trip to Lake Bemidji. House was lovely and owners have thought of so many extra touches such as a S'mores box and marshmallow toasting sticks. House was also well stocked with T.P., paper towels, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, etc. This is not typical in may rental homes. We also rented the Pontoon which I highly recommend. So much fun to be out on the lake fishing (although zero luck) and just riding around. Can't recommend this house highly enough. Thanks Kirbys!

Great home, great location close to town and Paul Bunyan Trail. The house was fully stocked with most of what a person needs for their stay at the lake, which was nice. Really close to the water, too! There were two nice apple trees on the property, which my kids loved! I would say, though, that the pictures of the lake were inaccurate online. It was full of weeds, snails, and clams, which made swimming difficult and less enjoyable. Two people ended up getting their feet cut while walking in the water. The slide shown was also broken--the left railing was not attached and had jagged metal pieces where it was supposed to be connected to the main frame. The pontoon shown and marketed on the online booking was also not actually available due to storm damage. One of the queen beds was also completely bowed in in the middle.

Can't say enough good things about this place! The home and property is so cozy and inviting and perfect in every way! The abundance of wildlife was magical - nesting bald eagles in the big tree on the left of the lake front, a momma deer and two new fawns frolicking in the open field next to the house numerous times, lots of ducks and geese and their babies, bunnies, squirrels, hummingbirds, and more fireflies than I've seen in 40 years! Every essential is here at this home. You can tell the hosts have thought of everything; even things you didn't think you needed! The large, comfortable, and scenic lake front patio was top notch for sunsets and stargazing! The best way I can describe this VRBO is that it felt like home from the moment we pulled up and walked in. Close enough to town and all the sights, activities, restaurants, etc; but still feel far away from it all. Beautiful Paul Bunyan State Trail is super close where you can walk over the Mississippi or take a long bike ride - we even saw Pink Lady Slippers on the trail sides; the MN State Flower! Can't wait to stay again next year!
