- "This was resort property of vintage cabins in a fairly remote area, very DIY and not a lot of amenities... which was perfect for us. No restaurants nearby, but the cabins had kitchens, and the lodge had a bar with a small menu of bar food (pizzas, fries, nachos). The couple who staffed the lodge were very friendly and helpful, and the locals we met were very nice! "

I also rent a Forester Fisher 18 foot pontoon for the length of your stay only but it is priced so you pay for 5 days and get 2 free. Prices vary so contact me for details. See pics. I am very reasonable on rates compared to local Marine rentals and monitor the prices regularly. (Please note that a Boat Operators license/safety certificate is required to rent a boat in MN as of July 1, 2025. See the MN DNR boating regulations page to obtain one.) In addition, I also want to insure that the renter of the pontoon in your group has had experience with a boat or pontoon before renting.
My place is a highly rated Norway pine lodge on a sand beach and crystal clear Little Bass Lake! Great fishing from the docks, diving dock or out on this deep lake (72 feet). Kayaks, canoe, paddleboat and paddleboard and water mat provided.
I have a Four season hand-scribed log home on Little Bass lake on a private 5.0 acre lot at end of dead end road. Only 1 distant neighbor. Interior finished with knotty pine ceiling and Australian Cyprus wood floors, and Tamarack paneling. Huge Lake superior stone real fireplace with firewood provided. Full kitchen including fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, stove, oven and center island and all the utensils for cooking. Watch the stars and northern lights from the large deck facing the quiet bay at the South end of Little Bass Lake. There is good fishing right from docks. A-Frame vaulted ceilings with master BR and bath in loft. Main floor has 2 large bedrooms, full bathroom, kitchen and great room and has a 4 season porch that is great for family meals any time of year. The walkout basement is unfinished but there are laundry facilities and an elliptical for use by guests.
The campfire pit makes an excellent spot for conversation, singalongs and S'mores. Firewood provided.
A 150-acre 70 foot deep lake, Little Bass has an abundant fishery including northern pike, large mouth bass, good crappie fishing, and even the occasional walleye. You will want to fish for walleye early or late as its such a clear body of water:)
See the beach pics. Sand beach for building sand castles and sand bottom out to 5 feet. There is a diving dock platform to swim or kayak to.
There is also great cross country skiing, downhill skiing/tubing, hiking and bike trail system close by in the Chippewa National Forest. Just google Itasca county trails or Mount Itasca to find them
Broadband wireless internet and basic cable TV included with a smart tv for streaming. A public boat access on lake makes it convenient to launch your boat. Plenty of dock space for your boat on the docks at my property. I do have a pontoon but will only rent to people I have talked to and can be assured know how to operate it. If interested please let me know.
I also have a high chair and a pack n play for infant guests!
Thanks! Randy
Ps: my cleaners are excellent and sanitize all surfaces. I’ve received many compliments. My cleaning fee is less than what they charge me.
PPS: Sustainable practices: In addition to recycling bins in the basement which are clearly labeled, you are coming to a Forest and I love trees. You will see that I have planted many white and red pines on the property and that I nurture them. And though I try to insure a view of the lake from the lodge, I have worked hard not to cut down any more trees that necessary in the building process. So I think of my lodge as my 'treehouse'. Trees as you know take carbon out of the atmosphere. And of course looking at their beauty in addition to the water and blue skies always makes me feel calm and at ease. There are views of the lake from lodge but it is also very forest like and private at the lodge. A short walk to the beach gives you the full beach and lake experience.
- "Love the property and the seclusion. A beautiful lake is the icing on the cake. A fantastic spot for a group of friends to get together for the weekend" - "We had a great time at Randy’s beautiful log home. The place was very clean, beds were comfortable. My kids ranging in age from 8 to 18 all had a great time. My daughter filled the house with music playing the piano for us. I enjoyed my coffee on the peaceful deck and we enjoyed lots of family meals in the 3 season porch. Then bonfires in the evening to end the day. All the wood was cut, split and ready for us when we got there. We all really enjoyed the lake and beach. We were able to take the pontoon out fishing and for sunset cruises. We spent a ton of time swimming, jumping off the raft, kayaking, paddle boarding and just sitting on the beach. Randy was very responsive and eager to help with anything that we needed. We can’t wait to go back and make more memories."

Our little peninsula has been a Northwoods getaway for the past 75 years. Formerly Mallard Point Resort, we're keeping the tradition alive by welcoming guests back to this multi-cabin, micro-resort style stay.

Quaint 3 bedroom house with gorgeous views on a quiet lake with great fishing!
The 3 bedrooms have all the comforts of home with memory foam/hybrid mattresses. Master bedroom fitted with a queen bed, desk and chair. Second bedroom is the kids nook with twin/full bunk bed and toys and books to keep them busy. Third bedroom you’ll find a queen bed with vanity dresser for you to unpack and relax.
Cook your day’s catch in the kitchen! Equipped with refrigerator, oven/stove, microwave, drip coffee maker, assorted dishes, cooking utensils, and small appliances like toaster, slow cooker, and blender.
Enjoy the view outside on the deck at the dining table or lying out on the lounge chairs. Gas grill provided for use during the summer months.
Swimming couldn’t get any better in this quiet, clean lake that stays shallow near the shore. Tie up your boat to the dock or explore the water in one of the two kayaks, life jackets also provided. Relax by the fire pit and enjoy the stars or watch the fish jump.
Little Bass Lake is known for its wellspring of pan fish like sun fish, crappies, perch, bass, northerns and the occasional walleye. Public boat launch is located across from the cabin, directions with map information is in the printed welcome booklet at the cabin.
Our little slice of Minnesota lake life is just the place to make memories, unplug and reconnect.
- "A lake place, just like the ones I remembered when I lived in Minnesota. Growing up, we all went to “the lake” every weekend. Sometimes people thought everyone went to the same lake! But no, going to the lake meant staying at a “cabin” that wasn’t winterized. Now the cabin at the lake can be a modern house, like this vrbo. Complete with a mated pair of loons that called to each other several times a day. The lake itself was clean and clear, and beautiful, and no noisy jet skis and speed boats. Perfect."

- "Just stopping through before reaching our destination up north but wish we could’ve stayed longer! The location was beautiful, the sunset over the lake was spectacular and the sauna was a bonus!" - "Great cabin on a beautiful lake. We will be back!" - "We loved this cabin! It was perfect for our family of four. The lake is beautiful and quiet during the week, with a nice swimming beach on the property. The cabin had multiple USB chargers, and nightstands on both sides of the king bed. There are NEVER two nightstands, so this was very well thought out. The fridge is small as advertised, so we just kept drinks in a cooler outside. Not a problem at all, especially if you had a shorter stay. I really enjoyed sitting in the shade, reading my book while the kids swam. My brother rented the cabin next door, making it a fabulous family week. I highly recommend it!"

Enjoy privacy on 520 feet of crystal-clear shores on Deer Lake. You cannot see other houses from this property. The beautifully remodeled home includes all modern amenities. You can sleep up to 11 adults on 8 beds, + there are 3 couches, also blowup mattresses available.
Enjoy the premier fishing for Walleye, Bass, Crappie and Muskie, there is plenty of parking for your boat trailers in the yard as well as a 100' dock with electricity. If you need help renting a boat, I have phone numbers ready for the local in town boat rentals available, or if you are willing, I have an ugly duckling 17' seaworthy deck boat with plenty of seating I am willing to rent, let's talk ;*)
Deer Lake, also known as The Lake of Many Changing Colors, boasts 25 - 30 feet of clarity. Boat or kayak out to Bear Island and walk it’s nearly a one-mile walking trail through some of the largest Cedar trees in the area. 2 kayaks are available for your use. 4 islands out front of the property will ensure your morning kayak ride to be a peaceful one, crossing breathtaking views above, and below the waterline among the woods, weeds, and wildlife.
The property does not have a hard sand bottom but don’t let that stop you from taking a dip off the end of the dock and out to the raft, or to explore the lake in a kayak. There are also various floats available onsite in the shed along with various yard games. Set up a Bad Mitten net (or as my children called it: Good Gloves) or pull out the Bocce Ball set. There is also full-size Corn Hole boards as well as a great horseshoe pit in the yard by the lake.
Kick back and enjoy the sunrise and sunsets from up on the oversized deck, also, plenty of outside seating down by the large fire pit. Bring your own wood or purchase a large wheel burrow full for $30.
The home has an open floor plan with plenty of space in the kitchen (2 kitchens, one up and one downstairs) to allow plenty of help in preparing meals! The dining room table has 4 leaves with seating for 12 + the bar. Each kitchen is equipped with all amenities including microwave, toaster, coffee pot, dishes, silverware, pots, pans, Ninja blenders, and much more.
The living room upstairs has 2 reclining couches (seat 6) plus a single recliner for movie night in front of a 55” TV as well as a beautiful stone gas fireplace. The living room downstairs has 2 recliners, 1 couch, and 1 loveseat, as well as a 55” TV.

Bedroom #2 sleeps 3 with one twin bed and a bunk bed. Bedroom #3, downstairs has a Queen bed. There is also a full-size bed downstairs in the oversized living room.

Please let Maria know if there is anything you need. It is our goal that this space be an escape and retreat for you however Maria is available at all times for emergencies and during standard hours to answer and resolve any non-emergency issues.
It is extremely helpful to have good contact information available for a member of your party in the event we need to contact you due to issue resolution etc. As the cell service at the Lodge is limited I will do my best to notify you ahead of time if we need to be on site for any reason but please understand that may not be possible. We will keep any disruptions to an absolute minimum.
Quiet, rural, dead-end gravel road with a couple other houses on the street.
The gravel road is a dead end road with a few neighbors within site. Plenty of parking is available anywhere in the horseshoe driveway. Please do not park on the road as a courtesy to our neighbors and take care to avoid entering any of the neighboring property. Please turn around in our driveway and do not turn around at the end of the road as that is the neighbors property who would like everyone to stay off.
The upstairs, main level includes a fully stocked kitchen, living room, 1 queen bedroom and a full bathroom. The basement includes 2 queen bedroom + bunk space, 1 office space, and a bathroom.
Plenty of parking available in the driveway. Driving required to get places.

Come enjoy "Sunset Escape" Tiny-home on the prestigious Deer Lake in Northern MN. You'll love this unique and romantic escape.
Work ~ Relax ~ Play! Enjoy solitude in nature for a couple's getaway or a fun family trip. The tiny home is a destination location in of itself on Birch Island on Deer Lake.
This tiny home sits on 3+ acre island surrounded by the beautiful blue water. It is located near an occupied cabin but that said, this tiny home is situated to where you don’t see any of those structures from the front facing views of the house, so it feels very private and one with nature.
This modern tiny home has a loft which holds one queen bed and another with two twin beds. The loft is accessed by a normal rise and run staircase. You won't be able to stand in the lofts/bed areas as it is 4'6" (typical of a tiny home) but not really an issue since you really just sit in the beds up there, but important to note if you have any physical ailments.
The tiny home has its own private area, beach and ample free parking. Outside is romantic string-lit, equipped with 4 Adirondack chairs around a wood fire pit, propane BBQ grill, and patio set. Guests have access to their own private beach with 2 paddle boards and a tandem kayak during the summer months.
Just a few of the activities in the area:
Fishing
Biking
Golfing
Boating, Kayaking & Paddle Boarding
Snowboarding, Skiing
Sightseeing
Cross Country & Nordic Skiing
Snowshoeing
Hiking
If you need absolutely anything during your stay, please let me know! I am happy to help!
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a tiny home well here is your chance! Designed and built in Wisconsin by Escape Traveler.
-Cell service may be weak here, but texting via Wi-Fi works very well, texting via SMS will come in and out as well as signal for calling.
- The house is very much immersed in nature. Nature has bugs and animals. You may see both. There may even be an ant or similar such bug in the house. I promise it won't hurt you.
- Our Insurance Carrier requires guests sign an agreement for release of liability and a $300 security deposit is required.
- "Our family of 4 (2 kids, 6 and 8) had such a great time “camping” at this tiny home. The tiny home itself is designed with style and feels spacious enough to be comfortable …. the outdoor space is awesome. Deer lake is teal and so quiet. Simply beautiful. The kids loved building forts and fairy gardens in the woods in between kayaking, fishing and paddle boarding. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this place was for a memorable (and comfortable) experience in the outdoors!"

Gorgeous view of the Bigfork River, surrounded by mature oak trees. Peaceful & beautiful setting! Wood Sauna, Hot Tub, charcoal grill and fire pit ready to go! Deck and patio perfect for entertaining or just relaxing. The Bigfork River is known for great fishing, and beautiful canoe/kayak trips.
- "My partner and I enjoyed staying at this location! It was definitely a getaway that was much needed and Heather and Chad provided everything that was needed while we were there. The sounds of the river, being surrounded by nature, and looking at the beautiful stars at night, were definitely breathtaking! The only thing that we noticed was that on the porch where the sauna is located, a couple of boards were a bit loose and just need to have more support on them. Overall we give this location a 10/10!"

Very comfortable accommodations and the place had everything we needed." - "Great location. Light pollution was minimal at a nearby park (6 miles away) which allowed us to view the Milky Way without technology.

The house is spacious, open with tons of electrical outlets, usb connections, several tvs and fans.

- "This place was so private and peaceful! We had everything we needed. Joe is an excellent host and went above and beyond for us! We caught rock bass, crappy, sunfish, perch and northern pike. It’s remote and most of the time we had the lake to ourselves!" - "Honestly, we talked about this on the ride home. My husband and I rent a lot of cabins for many vacations. This one by far is one of the most tranquil spots with modern luxuries we have found thus far. We laughed on the way home about not reviewing just to keep it to ourselves. The fishing wad so good my husband never got to put his rod in the water as he was too busy taking off my fish 😄. The pontoon, cabin, tiki bar, and amenities were above and beyond what we expected. If you want pure beauty on a lakefront setting, this is the place. The owner made every attempt and effort to make sure our stay was flawless. Hope to return in the near future."

- "The tent cabin is really cute and was comfortable for a family of four. We used the sauna and also rented the boat for a couple of days. It is on the steep driveway, which isn’t a problem for us since our car is four-wheel-drive, but you will want to avoid driving to the bottom if you have a 2 Wheel Dr. car. Be aware that the lakefront is not swimmable because of high vegetation, but the lake itself is beautiful and great to take a boat on. Close to Grand Rapids and many other activities. "
