Great!

It was a nice place to stay! Only couple small complaints, you couldn’t take longer than a 10 minute shower or the water was cold, and one of the toilets would continue to run unless you fixed the chain. But overall great place!

Oct 20th weekend

I wanted to come up to Park Rapids to see my 3 yr old Grandson. My sister and one of our friends came. The weather was great and we could play outside. The condo was clean and very nice. Beds were comfortable. We couldn't even hear the people in the condo next door. Getting to town was easy. Great place to stay.

We Loved It

The condo is in a cute cluster of side-by-side condos. Of all of the condos, this one had the best possibilities for outside dining with 3 tables in 3 areas. We were fortunate that no one used the condos beside us. So, we had complete privacy. (If the other condos had been occupied, there would still have been “walls” between each deck.) The lake is large and the fishing is good. The location is perfect with just a short drive to Park Rapids, Itasca State Park and numerous lakes. (Be aware that there is no dishwasher and the laundry is in a different building. These were not problems for us.). This was one of the favorite places we have ever stayed.

Relaxing retreat

We enjoyed our week on Potato Lake. Our VRBO was clean and comfortable. The views of the lake were stunning. Spent time in Itasca State Park, reading, walking, and enjoying the sound of the loons. The caretakers of the resort do an amazing job taking care of the lawn and were very welcoming. We would return in the future.

Wonderful find on Potato Lake!!

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at this condo! The view of the lake from the back deck was amazing, and our kids loved swimming in the indoor pool at the resort. The condo was very clean and comfortable with more than enough room for our family of 4! Itasca State Park was a quick 25 minute drive, and Park Rapids is also very close so we were easily able to do some shopping or grab a bite to eat. The owner was extremely attentive to any questions we had leading up to our trip and checking in went seamlessly. I would definitely recommend this property to anybody looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway!
