Enjoyed the location, being close to Bemidji, but still far enough away to have that rural Northwoods feel. We had a family of five and there was room to spare. Excellent host, and great communication as well.

Hosts were great , very clean, lots of space, to have family stay. Ample parking .
Well stocked kitchen . Easy drive into town.
Would have preferred to be right on the water.
Found this place needing an extra place for family to stay during Christmas. While we didn’t hang out at the property much (other family live just down the street), it would be perfect for spending time with friends/family and making meals. With the location and all amenities, we found it perfect, even with a little kid with. Definitely would be a great experience in the warmer months with fishing and water activities!

Fall getaway
The house worked great! We had plenty of room for playing cards and watching the game on TV. Lots of sleeping options. Modern kitchen and grill worked perfect to feed a large crew.
Was a little deceiving as if the cabin was right on the lake except you had to walk down to the dock through other cabins and a RV! Outside could’ve used a blower to blow off some of the seeds from the trees! Owners were on site so easy to get a hold of and get responses!
We came up to Bemidji for a wedding reception at Diamond Point Park. This house was a short drive to get to the downtown area. The house had all the room we needed and a very well stocked kitchen! I always appreciate that. We also enjoyed the deck, with plenty of seating and the BBQ. Would definitely stay here again.
