Log Cabin at Bolton Bay on Long Lake

My vacation home on beautiful Long Lake is only 3 minutes from downtown Park Rapids and walking distance to a local pub known for their great burgers! Use either of two docks for tying up your boat(s). Enjoy the peace and tranquility of my vacation home and entire property. There is NO traffic as I'm situated at the end of the road.

Enjoy a campfire at the end of the day. Large bundles of firewood are available onsite. Take a walk on the different trails in the area or use the Heartland trail system which is only two miles away.

We have some of the best fishing in any of the MN lakes. We also have great sandy beaches and provide nearly 10 miles of lake for jet skiing, water skiing, tubing, snorkeling, sailing....

Upon request you can use our comfortable queen air mattress to sleep 2 more guests.

Log Cabin at Bolton Bay
Said there was AC but only a small window unit to cool the entire cabin. Very misleading. Shower facilities terrible. Some beds were in terrible shape for sleeping. Tiny TV with poor Internet connection. Overall would never recommend this VRBO.

Peaceful Getaway
The uniqueness of the log cabin is really a draw. We loved being back in the bay where the winds weren’t so strong when it stormed. It’s a perfect place for adults to get together, unwind and re-connect. Chris is a great host as well, if there’s anything you need, he bends over backwards to get it for you and he responds to any messages before you can even blink. We would definitely stay there again!

This was the perfect getaway for our family. It was nice that we could bring our own boat. However, the place could have been cleaner.

Cute real log cabin
It was a cute, clean cabin, and well secluded and quiet. It had nice dishes and cookware. Fire pit and available wood was really great. The minor things to note are the bedrooms don't have much privacy; 2 of the 3 rooms are open lofts. My friends and I know each other well so this wasn't an issue for us, but could be for others. The larger basement bedroom doesn't have windows. The doors to the bathrooms are difficult to close. It would be nice to have a sturdier dining table. The leaves to make the table full size slope and I kept worrying things would fall off. Chris was very friendly and accommodating and was usually quick to respond. Overall a really cozy cabin on a beautiful piece of property.

Fun family getaway
Thoroughly enjoyed our family getaway in Park Rapids! The cabin was rustic and pretty cool. The deck could use some work and shrubs needed trimming but all in all it was an enjoyable place!

Not well maintained
Our family stayed in Park Rapids for four nights, we have two children under six and two adults. We enjoyed the town, Long Lake and the pontoon rental. When we arrived at the cabin we noticed there was a large hornets nest directly over the front door with many wasps circling. We had to use back door in and out of cabin for first 2 days. The cabin was not clean when we arrived. We found a bathroom with hair on the toilet and in the tub, along with a black gunk on the shower curtain. In one of the bedrooms there was a curtain that was moldy and hair on a pillow. The BBQ grill wasn’t cleaned from a previous use and there were cobwebs on light fixtures and in corners. The deck outside is rundown. The wood is rotting through to the point of the top board missing in many spots along the railing and having rusty nails exposed and pointing up in the air. We texted Chris who agreed to come by the next day to see our concerns. He came in with his Mom and Dad who all helped him clean the bathroom, replace shower curtains, change bedding and take the curtains out of the bedroom upstairs. He even delivered a new grill brush. Chris apologized for the state the cabin was found in telling me that his cleaning lady had the day off and he cleaned it himself. He said he knew about the wasp nest, the shower curtain, and the window curtain upstairs and the deck but just hadn’t replaced any of them prior to our stay. Chris said he was currently accepting bids for replacing the deck. Even though our vacation started rough and the fore mentioned state of the cabin had a lot to do with that. We enjoyed our stay in Park Rapids and at Long Lake. It’s a beautiful area our family has been going to for many years.

OK
It would be tough to hold 10 in this placel. kitchen is nice but otherwise the place is a little run down and not well maintained. beds are small, A/C is marginal, bathrooms so-so. the deck is run down and a simple clearing of brush would make it a little more scenic. you are not on lake and there is NO swimming as the dock is located in about 1 foot of water and 3 feet of muck. Long lake is really nice and the access is quick with boat. it is quiet at end of street.

Life’s a breeze on Long Lake
Everything about the cabin to the owner was great. It was very easy to communicate with Chris. Place was awesome. Fishing was great. The only reason for the 4 stars on the overall was that we couldn’t get the hot water for the shower to work. But we managed. Thanks Chris!!!

A beautiful cabin with a beautiful view on the lake.
This cabin was perfect for our family get away. There was plenty of space for 6 of us comfortably. It was clean and Chris was great to work with and easily available. We look forward to returning again in the future.

Perfect location and a clean home, we really enjoyed our stay.
Chris is very accommodating. We had 2 boats with our group and he provided dock space for both. Parking 2 boats with trucks and trailers was a little challenging but very doable. We would recommend this rental to others.

Great location for a small retreat
I took a team here for a weekend retreat, and it was perfect location. The kitchen had everything we needed for our meals, and it was within a short driving distance of a grocery store. There was plenty of space in the building for us to work, and a great fire pit outside, which we used both evenings.

Chris is great to work with!!
Chris is very friendly and pleasant to work with! He responded promptly to some difficulties with plumbing and lack of comfortable seating by bringing in a plumber and a comfy chair. Thank you so much, Chris! The place is quiet and private, and we enjoyed our stay. It was relatively clean, and I would give it a higher rating if there was more care given to cleaning (chandeliers, for example) and some fresh and updated decor and furniture!

Nice, private getaway!
The cabin itself was great! Clean, spacious and lots of great views of the lake. It was just the two of us, but could have slept 6 comfortably. Chris was super responsive and hospitable, responding to all of our requests promptly. He lives next door, but you wouldn't know it because you never see him. The only reason this isn't a 5-star rating is for small things. The kitchen supplies are very limited and the water went out at one point, although he resolved that issue quickly. Otherwise the stay was great and I highly recommend this place!
