A great space for a family stay. We had 5 adults and two kids and this was perfect. We loved the big windows, grill, and large living area. The outdoor space was great, and we enjoyed playing bags. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are so happy to hear the space was a perfect fit for your family. It is wonderful to know you enjoyed the big windows, grilling out, and having some fun playing bags in the yard.…maybe becoming MN Vikings fans?!
This house is a dream! Brand new build with all the upgrades and amenities and in the perfect setting. We especially loved the large living space and patio area where we could have family gatherings playing board games, watching a late night movie, grilling out or sitting around the fire pit. The house also has a great space down by the lake for lots of fun lake activities. Check-in was a breeze and the owner went out of their way to ensure our stay was an enjoyable experience. They even went as far as to mail something back to us that we had forgotten in the house. We can’t wait for our next visit back to The Lookout at Stony Lake!!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are thrilled your family made such great use of the patio and fire pit! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you (and no trouble at all sending your forgotten item your way). We can't wait to welcome you back to The Lookout on Big Stony in Park Rapids, MN for your next getaway!!
We are a family of teachers and outdoor enthusiasts! With three grown, active boys, we’ve spent years chasing sports and exploring lakes across the state. In 2026, we finally found our dream getaway with this beautiful cabin on Big Stony. We know exactly how important it is to find a peaceful place to unplug, recharge, and reconnect with nature. We’ve set up this home to be the perfect lakeside launchpad, and we can’t wait to host you.
Why they chose this property
Perched elegantly above the water, The Lookout on Big Stony truly makes you feel like royalty as you take in the sweeping views. The home itself perfectly matches this elevated setting—it is beautifully modern, exceptionally clean, and undeniably classy. What we enjoy most about this location, however, is the profound sense of peace. Tucked away on over four sprawling acres, the privacy is absolute, and the amazing sounds of nature echoing through the trees become your daily soundtrack. For those with family, the layout offers wonderful peace of mind; the cabin is set back at a safe, comfortable distance from the lake, allowing you to relax completely while the kids play and explore the expansive grounds.
What makes this property unique
The Lookout Difference: Brand new, modern, completely private, and undeniably high-end. It is an 'up north' experience outside without the dingy cabin feel inside. There are two patios each with their own fire pit. The lake is crystal clear and a great fishing lake. It is quiet enough to kayak or paddle board until your heart is content. There are many extra luxury touches throughout the house - a cappuccino maker, foot massager, luxury linens, to name a few.
