About this property
Charming Rural Naturalist Cottage, just blocks from Heartland Park & Downtown!
This quaint yet spacious ‘rural-naturalist’ cottage in Park Rapids is the perfect spot for guests looking for a relaxing getaway just blocks from both downtown and the Heartland Trail/Park. The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed and spacious closet while the 2nd bedroom features a charming wrought iron day bed and reading nook. Two sofa beds in the living room provide extra room for spreading out or enjoying company. Relax in the jetted bathtub, soak up the sun lounging on the sun-deck or grill out under the fairy-lighted porch. Bring your furry friend and relax knowing the small fenced in yard will keep them safely enclosed nearby. Enjoy the convenience of amenities like AC, WiFi, smart TVs in both bedrooms and living room, and a washing machine and dryer. Naturalist inspired decor and field guides throughout the space invite you to follow your curiosity to the nearby Heartland Park - take a stroll across the river and find your self a block from downtown Park Rapids which features weekly live music all summer long.
We look forward to hosting you at our place.
Long term renters (seasonal workers, remote workers, snowbirds etc) are especially welcome - receiving 50% discount if you book 28 days or more, and 20% discount if you book 7 days or more.

About the host
Hosted by Kim
Hi! I’m a wildlife biologist and love all things nature, foraging and the outdoors! My husband and I bought this house last year when I started working for the US Fish and Wildlife Service and we loved living here, but I no longer work for the USFWS so we decided to move closer to our families for a while. This place has so much character and I’ve left the majority of my naturalists field guide library for your use to hopefully inspire you to love the wildlife all around us! This place is ideal for someone looking for a long-term stay (remote or seasonal worker, snowbird etc.), I’ve even left one of the garden beds open if you want to grow a little garden 🪴
What makes this property unique
Our place if perfect if you like to walk or bike, it’s central to everything you need, you never have to drive if you don’t want to. We’re pet friendly and never think you should have to leave your furry loved one’s home. We hope you’ll love it here as much as we do!
