About this house rental

Year round Home with boat landing, 4 Bedrooms + Loft + Den, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 13) Our home is a 4 bedroom 2 bath turn key home located on Heart Lake in northern Minnesota, just 5 minutes away from the headwaters of the Mississippi River. This majestic home sits on 2 acres of land with 200 ft of private lake shore that will provide the perfect environment to unwind and enjoy your vacation. Our home has high cathedral ceilings in the living room, kitchen and dinning area with many windows to provide a great view of the lake and surrounding outdoors. This is a private and quiet 2 acre property, secluded lake with great bass, northern pike, crappie and sunny fishing (you can catch keepers right off the dock). Take in the beautiful sunsets serenaded by the loons at dusk; watch the deer feed in the yard mornings and evenings. Listen to the birds sing in the morning and the frogs croaking at dusk. There are plenty of indoor activities too: high speed internet, streaming TV, movies, board games, puzzles, coloring books, children's toys, crayons, cards, cribbage, chess. poker, backgammon, scrabble, Yahtzee , Monopoly, etc., and a keyboard to play and sing around (with music books too). After the daily activities sit around a crackling fire burning in the large stone fire pit overlooking the lake and Cook burgers and hot dogs on the grill. Or grill right out the back door in the firepit area. (don't forget the marshmallows). Pitch a tent and experience sleeping with nature or just take a blanket to lay on the lawn or enjoy a lazy hammock and gaze at the stars. This place is about relaxing while being as active as you want to be. Play horseshoes, croquet, badminton, corn hole, ring toss, darts or volleyball ( some games supplied). Hike or pick wild raspberries. Enjoy water sports like jet skiing, water skiing, boating or fishing. Take the paddle boat or out one of the 3 kayak's for a ride ( both provided). Take the kids to Itasca State Park for a bike ride. Go golfing at nearby golf courses, horseback riding, four-wheeling or just take a hike in the woods on one of the many trails around the property. Come see the beautiful fall colors and cozy up to a nice fire by the back deck or overlooking the lake. There is a private boat landing that you can access with snowmobiles and 4 wheelers to ice fish, or bring in your portable fish homes. You can bring an Ice home down too, but we do not plow the lake, but we do keep the access to the lake open. There are 30 amp hookups to plug in at the garage, but no fresh water or septic hookup in the winter months.

We've enjoyed this property for years. Lots of room for family to stay and hang out. A variety of things to do, swimming, we brought kayaks, boating, campfires, BBQ, games, we always bring extras. Close to Itasca, Park Rapids and even Bemidji.

This was one of the best equipped VRBOs we have stayed in — so many things furnished that we usually have to pack. Pat and Elizabeth were so easy to communicate with. We enjoyed the stay so much. Location very close to Lake Itasca State Park which was a plus since ‘walking across the Mississippi’ has been on my bucket list.

Pat and Elizabeth’s home was perfect for our stay. We had three families (6 adults and 5 kids ranging from 2 to 11.) There was plenty of space to sleep, cook and play inside and out. Beds were comfortable and all the amenities we needed were there. The bonfire space was awesome and view property beautiful. We didn’t end up swimming as the lake was covered in lillypads, but did get in some fishing and kayaking. It was a 15 minute drive to Itasca State Park, including the Mississippi headwaters and the beach. Close enough to go in the morning, come back to the house for lunches and kiddo naps, and head back again in the afternoon. Just to comment I think their pictures don’t do the place justice - it was much nicer than the photos. Some of the furniture is new (couch in the living room) and the room with bunk beds is now two beds (queens I think?) If we come back to the area we would definitely stay again!

This definitely was a secluded location. The lakeshore and water toys were great. My grandkids had a blast. Lots of family things to do not only at the cabin but also at Itasca State Park. I do have some feedback. If I was going to change anything, the spiral staircase was not meant for children. Also i would add something on the website page that the closest grocery store is 26 miles away. Overall the cabin was great and all outdoor activities were fun.

Beautiful property, lots of space, plenty of activities, starry nights, loon songs galore, peace and quiet. The land was gorgeous, the lake was so serene, the house was spacious and well laid out- very comfortable for our family. The only things we would suggest is some general repair: replace couch, fix closet tracks, reinforce the docks. The site also mentioned 11am check out, as did our confirmation email, but we were told after check in we had to be out by 10 am. Minor inconvenience overall, just need to update info. The owner was very accessible by email/text though so we appreciated that communication. Perfect stay for our family!

This property was absolutely perfect for our family of 12! Spaciousness both inside and outside. Plenty of sleeping accommodations for a dozen people. Huge kitchen/dining area and roomy living room. It was stocked with everything you need from kitchen to bathroom to bedroom. The yard is fantastically large and we played volleyball! Badminton... Frisbee... Crafts on the yard... Relaxing on the deck... Fishing off the dock! SO MUCH to do!! Although the swimmimg area was not too large, the Grandkids had a blast snorkeling and looking for fish. We have been staying at VRBO properties for 9 years and Pat and Elizabeth's Heart Lake place is tied for our #1 spot. We can't thank them enough for trusting us with their home. Thank you!

This was a terrific spot for our grown children and us to get away together in August. We fished, swam, read, cooked, played cards, and took naps. Each room lends itself to efficiency: well-equipped kitchen, big bathrooms, good mattresses, great deck, and big dining table. The fire pit was sublime. Thank you so very much to our hosts.

The property is spacious in a beautiful location affording privacy for a large group.. The kitchen is well equipped. Kayaks, pontoon boat and paddle boat provide options for use of the lake. The beds are very comfortable.
