About this property

Enjoy Lake Life on Big Bass Lake, Bemidji MN

  • The Lake house is the perfect place to relax and enjoy what Minnesota has to offer with family & friends. The property is located 25' off the shore of Big Bass Lake on the east side of Bemidji. Close to Bemidji State Park & Bemidji Town and Country Club golf course.

    Summer activities in the area include swimming, fishing right off the dock, kayaking, boating, and sitting by the fire enjoying the lake view. This property is also a winter wonderland with ice fishing, cross country skiing, and snowmobiling.

    This is a beautiful property. The home is private and inviting. Sitting lakeside watching the sunset in front of a fire 10' from the lakeshore is my favorite place to be.

This was an amazing location! The plethora of amenities in terms of dishware, cookware, towels and other necessities was so convenient. We were up visiting our adult children and this house provided us with enough space to do meals with 9 adults. Best mini vacation ever!!!

Perfect Spot

Awesome house on the lake. Very peaceful and quiet lake. We enjoyed the fire pit and the house was very clean and everything was in great shape. A short drive from Bemidji and it worked out perfectly for our group. Would definitely stay there again.

Best lake vacation we have ever had

Can’t say enough about this vacation rental. Perfect very private location right on the water with fantastic fishing right of the dock! The master bedroom has an amazing view. The home was exceptionally clean and well stocked with everything needed for a perfect lake vacation. This is our 8th MN August vacation (4in Walker area and 3 in Grand Rapids area)

Great Weekend with Friends

The house was very nice for 2 families to stay - bedrooms had an extra bed/futon for kids and extra bathrooms. The fall colors and location are beautiful. The kids enjoyed running in the yard. The access to the lake is a pretty steep drop off.

Home away from home

I've been searching for a place that I can call home away from home, as I've family in the area and wanted to be able to host them during our visits. This property is the perfect destination —enough space for everyone to gather comfortably without ever feeling cramped. Even with colder weather, the home was cozy, well-equipped, and options for us to connect and relax together.Everything was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a memorable group getaway, no matter the season!

No better way to spend a weekend!

The place was amazing. It had everything we needed and more! We were also the envy of many of our friends. Our kids had an absolute blast. This place made it easy for our family to get away and enjoy the weekend. They had something for everyone and with a lager family, that is hard to do. We are already looking at our calandra about when we can go back!

Great Time

Our family had a fantastic time. There were 6 of us. Plenty of room. Distance from the lake was great. The fishing was so good. Caught plenty of keepers right off the dock. Small lake, but not busy. Plenty of room for tubing and waterskiing. Kitchen was well stocked with any appliance or items you might need. Wood definitely stay again.

Amazing Experience

The description doesn’t do this property justice. We had 8 people in our group, 4 adults and 4 teen/tweens, and everyone slept comfortably and had ample space to spread out. The home was clean and the amenities were perfect. Our two families spent the days kayaking and paddle boarding on the lake and the mornings & evenings catching fish off the dock. The property has everything you need to enjoy a traditional Northern MN vacation.

A perfect family getaway

We booked this property on short notice. Theresa was SO accommodating. The property is gorgeous. We loved the privacy of the property. You wouldn’t even know there were neighbors. The private boat slip was convenient and the home is near the public water access. They have everything you need for water fun (including a wide variety of life jackets). We enjoyed visiting Lake Bemidji State Park, which is very close. You will love your stay if you rent this home.

Beautiful lake home checks all the boxes!

Our family of five adults and one seven year old thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The lake home is beautiful and furnished with everything you could need, from kitchenware right down to firewood, split and stacked and ready for a bonfire. The little sandy bottom swimming area is perfect for little kids, and there was fishing off the dock. The property feels very private. During our stay last week, which included one rainy day, there were no mosquitos. The property has easy access to Bemidji if desired. All in all, a stellar Minnesota lake home!

Amazing property and amazing views!

We absolutely loved our time at this amazing property. I have never been at a rental home/kitchen that was so well stocked with everything you could need to host family dinners, cook meals together, spend time around the fire, kayak, fish off the dock, the list goes on and on. My daughter caught bass right off the dock! The kayak barn was a treasure trove of kids toys, firewood, marshmallow sticks, and extra life jackets. The decor and finishing touches within the house are exactly as they look in the photos and are stunning. Amazing views from all the windows facing the lake - it was the perfect vacation. The only thing it needs is laundry, and we would probably rent if for the entire summer. We loved our time and hope to visit again soon!

End of summer- Lake fun

We loved the setting. The lake was so clear and it was fun to paddle board & kayak in late September. The house was stocked with everything we needed. It was nice to have a campfire and wood available. It was also great to have lifejackets available. Fun family memories were made! The only negative comment would be regarding the sheets on the twin bed upstairs since there were long black hairs on them and a stain on one of the comforters. I don't have a dog and could smell dog when I first walked in. With that being said I would still stay here again. It was very nice!
