Great Get Away Home!

We were all so impressed with the updates of the home. Plenty of space for a large group to stay. Plenty of different activities there to keep busy. Beautiful location, secluded from other people which was nice. We would definitely book again!

Fantastic location and accommodations!

From the stellar communication and thoughtful extras (coffee filters, plastic wrap, dish soap) to the artistic decor, comfortable sleeping arrangements, the large gathering spaces, the laundry facilities, plus the canoe, paddle boards, paddle boat, bikes, ping-pong table and hammocks, this VRBO is fantastic. Our family of eight adults thoroughly enjoyed a comfortable, relaxing stay in this absolutely topnotch VRBO. Highly recommend.

Wonderful week on Mantrap

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The indoor spaces were clean and suited our family very well. We especially enjoyed the thoughtful decor and style. That kitchen! Amazing space!The deck, yard, and lakefront are 2nd to none! The beach was fun for the kids, the dock was great for the boat, and we enjoyed relaxing and eating on the deck.We will be back again to enjoy this property

Beautiful home! Kelly was a great communicator and host. If we end up in the Park Rapids area again, we will rent this home. The cleaning team could have done a better job and I gave Kelly that feedback for future renters.

gorgeous property

Pictures definitely didn’t do justice to this property. It was a beautiful home with beautiful views of the lake. The decor was so tasteful. The owner made sure we were well taken care of and was very good at communicating with us. We came with all adults and we were so appreciative of all the bedrooms and bathrooms. I would definitely recommend this property.
