Wonderful stay in the woods

When the kids were younger, we were frequent visitors to Itasca State Park. As a birthday wish, my now grown daughter asked the whole family to return for a reunion-type visit. There were 7 of us in total and this house was fantastic! I prepared hobo dinners in the kitchen and the kids roasted marshmellows on the open firepit. Thanks for opening your home to us. Highly recommended.

Wonderful

The property managers were extremely friendly and hospitable. The property was well maintained in a gorgeous setting not far from town and activities. Plenty of room to spread out and relax with all of the amenities of a comforting home.

Up North Get Away

Flowers and Gardens, decks and 3 season porch, spacious rooms, immaculate and decorated adorably, comfy furniture and beds, fire pit patio looking up towards the moon and stars, tree lined driveway and yard. Everything you need to satisfy a much needed get away with family, even the high rise toilets and whirlpool tub was a hit! Our up north vacation was complete because of this home away from home. We will be back for sure!

Amazing home in the woods.

From the moment we drove on this property, we felt right at home. The house is in clearing that is totally surrounded by trees, giving you those 'up north' vibes. There is a very nice fire pit area to sit back and take in the beauty and enjoy a campfire. The house is spacious but yet has a cozy feel to it. Every nook and cranny is decorated with unique pieces. The bedrooms are roomy and the beds/bedding comfortable. An enclosed sunroom with an attached covered deck was a great way to start the day and have our coffee. The kitchen is well equipped if you plan on cooking. We only stayed over a weekend, and there are plenty of excellent eating places in the area. Most importantly, the house is super clean! Speaking of food, dining out is fabulous. Friday night we ate at Clancy's (a recommendation by our hosts, it's on quiet Island Lake), Saturday morning at the Logging Camp that serves a family-style breakfast of eggs, sausage or ham, hash browns and all you can eat pancakes. A short ride for dinner took us to the tiny town of Dorset to Cabaneros that serves authentic Mexican cuisine. Sunday morning we ate breakfast at West 40 in Park Rapids. Check out downtown Park Rapids. Lots of fun stores! It was a pleasure to meet Larry and Barbara. You don't find nicer or more sincere hosts! If you don't want the crowded space of a hotel room, this is the place for you. We loved this property and hope to stay there again--only next time for a longer period.

About the host

Hosted by Larry & Barbara Bumgardner

Larry grew up near Herman, Mn and Barbara by Winthrop, Mn. We met during college and have been married for 36 years, have 4 grown children and enjoy 14 grandchildren! We moved to Park Rapids in June 2016 with a job change. We absolutely love this area, the change of seasons and the variety of things to do in the area, whether it be spring, summer, fall or winter.

Why they chose this property

While searching for a home, our priority was to find a home that would fill the needs of our family coming to visit. We wanted a warm inviting home with a large functional kitchen and an open floor plan so that when we were in the kitchen, we weren't separated from them. We found it!! We love this home and the feeling we have when we walk through the door. This property is secluded and not visible to others, but still very accessible to everything. Its like having our own piece of paradise! Everyone that comes to visit, does not want to leave. That brings us great joy, as we have created a place to relax, unwind, and have fun!

What makes this property unique

The first time we looked at this house while searching for a home, we both felt this was THE ONE! Well maintained and the interior spoke of one who loved it and graciously decorated it. It was everything we were looking for and move in ready! We have great views of our property from every window in this home and it is fun as to what you might see when you look out! The back porch swing has become a favorite for us, a place to unwind at the end of a work day to just catch up with each other and a great place to swing with the grandchildren. The property has wildlife that come in daily, especially the deer, occasionally wild turkeys, raccoon and fox. Whats really fun is to sit at the campfire and have deer or turkey wander in. The changing seasons are beautiful to watch here. The silent fall of the winter snow turning our property into a winter wonderland, to the first green buds of spring giving way to full green to completely enclose our haven. Fall begins and the colors are beautiful as everything prepares for winter. This home lends itself very well to snowmobilers. We are 1/2 mile from the Trail, so parking the trailers here and riding out is perfect. We also have a heated garage for all of your snowmobile gear and winding down after the ride. It is a place to come to relax and enjoy all seasons and the beauty of HIS creation!
