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.

We had a girls trip planned and this location is perfect for a day or 2 at Itasca State Park and another day at the Spa in Nisswa! Also did some shopping at some awesome shops and ate out in Park Rapids.. I highly recommend The Good Life Cafe in Park Rapids and Salvage Sisters in Baxter and the Calming Waters massage at Glacial Waters Spa in Nisswa, mn.
