Cute house, great location

Located within minutes from Park Rapids and 20 to Itasca. Great amenities, house was perfectly remodeled. Would stay here and and am sure you won’t be disappointed. Parking area is a bit tight, especially if you have a boat and trailer, but do-able.

Whispering Pines Cabin Get-a-Way

We enjoyed our stay very much. We needed a place to relax and unwind and this cabin on Portage Lake did the trick. The cabin itself was nice and clean with pretty much everything a person would need. The sunrise and sunset on the lake was absolutely gorgeous. Would definitely recommend Whispering Pines Cabin.

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed the amount of space for all of us to spread out during our stay. The listing did have a hot tub but there wasn’t one and we were disappointed by that. It was still a great stay.

Great Family Space

We had a great time here!! Well stocked home and lots of indoor and outdoor toys for both kids and adults. The sandy beach, raft, kayaks and paddle boards were the favorites!! The separate 3 season porch was great for the kids to play on the rainy days!

We really enjoyed our stay. Tammie was great and answered all of our questions. The property is very private and quite. Arrival process was very simple. This property far exceeded our expectations and we would recommend to any one looking for a property of this type. The property was stocked extremely well. We will definitely return.

Great location

Left a note for owner on our departure; any issues were not that important. The location was wonderful: easy access to Itasca State Park and to Park Rapids. The dry firewood offered was greatly appreciated, especially after a downpour the night we arrived.

Peaceful place to spend your time

Great place to stay. Dock has a bench, fire pit area is outstanding and has lights. Kayaks were fun to watch the sunset on the water. Comfortable bed and the grill was clean and worked flawlessly. Deck is a great place to soak up the woods. All that and it’s only 20 minutes to Itaska.

Father/Son Weekend

Perfect getaway for our father/son weekend. Our 13 year old sons had a blast: swimming, fishing, boating, paddle boarding and kayaking. The dads had fun too. The house is in a quiet area but close enough to town for all the provisions. I recommend this house and would gladly return.
