Little Bass Cabin - Kayaks & Clear Water Swimming

Quaint 3 bedroom house with gorgeous views on a quiet lake with great fishing!

The 3 bedrooms have all the comforts of home with memory foam/hybrid mattresses. Master bedroom fitted with a queen bed, desk and chair. Second bedroom is the kids nook with twin/full bunk bed and toys and books to keep them busy. Third bedroom you’ll find a queen bed with vanity dresser for you to unpack and relax.

Enjoy the view outside on the deck at the dining table or lying out on the lounge chairs. Gas grill provided for use during the summer months.

Swimming couldn’t get any better in this quiet, clean lake that stays shallow near the shore. Tie up your boat to the dock or explore the water in one of the two kayaks, life jackets also provided. Relax by the fire pit and enjoy the stars or watch the fish jump.

Little Bass Lake is known for its wellspring of pan fish like sun fish, crappies, perch, bass, northerns and the occasional walleye. Public boat launch is located across from the cabin, directions with map information is in the printed welcome booklet at the cabin.

Our little slice of Minnesota lake life is just the place to make memories, unplug and reconnect.

Great memorial weekend at the little cabin!

Fun family weekend on the lake, fishing, kayaking and hanging by the fire. Very clean and comfy for a family of 5 plus a toddler. Dogs have a blast too.

Visiting Family for the Holidays

Spending the Holidays in Grand Rapids to see family. The cabin was a great staging spot for us to be close to family but still have our own space. Very clean, comfy, and cozy. Can't wait to take advantage of the cabin on Little Bass during the summer.

Charming lake with loon family

Love the size of the lake and a beautiful view from the house. Very comfortable house with all amenities provided. My only complaint is the busy street noise that at times, blocked out the serenity of the lake.

Great family getaway

Cute home on a quiet lake. Had plenty of linens, paper products/cleaning essentials, and well stocked kitchen. Sunrise and sunset views across the lake from the living room or outdoor deck are gorgeous. Owners were friendly and had excellent communication. Short drive into town for anything you need. The only thing we didn’t love was the well water but that was very minor. Would definitely come back!

Nice

We had fun here. It was good for biking the Mesabi Trail. After staying here I can see it would be fantastic for hot summer days and spending time at the lake.I would strongly recommend it for that! It was also dark enough that we could see the Nothern Lights. Good for city folks.

Exactly what I was looking for

A lake place, just like the ones I remembered when I lived in Minnesota. Growing up, we all went to “the lake” every weekend. Sometimes people thought everyone went to the same lake! But no, going to the lake meant staying at a “cabin” that wasn’t winterized. Now the cabin at the lake can be a modern house, like this vrbo. Complete with a mated pair of loons that called to each other several times a day. The lake itself was clean and clear, and beautiful, and no noisy jet skis and speed boats. Perfect.

Great little cabin and super convenient to Grand Rapids! Owners were quick to respond. Fishing is GREAT for young kids with lots of bites. Just not for fishermen looking for Crappies or Walleye. Lake is spectacular and clear with lots of great swimming and non-motor activities! I’d definitely recommend

We really enjoyed our stay, beautiful location with a great dock and kayaks! Just something to keep in mind: checkout includes tasks like taking out the trash, washing dishes, stripping beds, and starting towels, which felt like a lot considering there’s a cleaning fee. It might not bother everyone, but it did take away from the relaxed vibe a bit. Also, if you plan to cook, consider bringing a nonstick pan—eggs stuck to the ones provided.

We stayed 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The lake was beautiful and the accommodations were great! Our 9yr old enjoyed fishing. Unfortunately the weather limited the amount of time we spent on the water but when we were out there it was very enjoyable. Would absolutely stay here again!

Little Bass cabin was just what we were looking for our family vacation. The check in and out process was very easy. We arrived on a Sunday and stayed a week but with the view of the lake at sunrise and sunset as well as spending time on the lake and lounging on the beach area none of us were ready to go home. I can’t say enough about the hosts they were amazing to work with, even before our stay very prompt to answer and questions as well as during and after our stay. Thank you for the honor of renting your VRBO.Penny

Awesome lakeshore location

We loved the bright and uncluttered interior. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed. The lakeshore was perfect for docking our boat and easily launching our kayaks. Enjoyed the multi-level decks for relaxing and dining. Impressed by the clean basement with washer and dryer. Enjoyed shopping, strolling, brewery, wine cafe' and more in Grand Rapids.

About the host

Hosted by Chrissy Davison

Host profile image
Hi! We are Eric and Chrissy, husband and wife, who have always had a special place in our hearts for Minnesota lake life.
Eric has family near Bemidji and Chrissy was a camp counselor near Remer, so the area holds a lot of memories for us.

We have three kids of our own, plus our dog, who love being up at the lake!

Watching our own kids play with sticks and get excited about catching fish with worms instead of staring at their iPads is always worth the drive to the lake.

Hosting families and hearing about the experiences made together is what we enjoy the most!

Laughing together out in the fresh air surrounded by the pines is truly the best pastime, and we are happy to share that with you.

Why they chose this property

Our little home is on one of my favorite lakes - swimming is clean and clear, fishing is great, lake traffic is quiet, and the trees keep it secluded.

Across the lake you can barely spot another house which makes it feel like you’ve got the lake to yourself. Nothing but trees and tall pines as the loons swim by. Perfection.

What makes this property unique

We hear from our guests that they love the deck the most. All three tiers of it!

Being able to comfortably be outside, watch the water, and catch some sun is what Minnesota summers are for!

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
