Wonderful stay on Big Pine Lake.
We had such a wonderful stay on Big Pine Lake at the rental hosted by Kelly & Paul. They have an incredibly beautiful property that the four of us stayed at. The home is first rate with absolutely everything you need. There is a lovely patio with stunning views of the lake and a really gorgeous beach. We were so pleased to meet Kelly & Paul. They are delightful people. Thank you so much for making our trip so memorable. We hope we can come back another time.

Big Pine Lake Gem
Our family has grown so much, we needed additional housing for our adult children this year. This little gem was perfect for us. It is essentially a "guest house" of the main house that is connected through a breezeway. The house is perfectly appointed with gorgeous finishes and all you would need for a family or group of friends. Dishes, linens, extras galore. The host reached out to ensure our stay was going well and made everything very easy for us. Would highly recommend!

Peaceful Getaway
This was the perfect getaway for our family of five! The cabin is just as pictured and described- beautiful, clean and stocked with anything and everything you should need! We really enjoyed the beach area and having the kayaks and paddle board available to use. Big Pine is such a peaceful lake. Kelly and Paul were wonderful hosts and available for any questions.

BEST STAY EVER!
We rent short term rentals often and Kelly & her property are an absolute standout! The BEST of the BEST! Kelly is beyond the most accommodating host I have ever met. So responsive and helped us host the most beautiful baby shower for our daughter on the property. This place is very clean, well-stocked, has everything you need to have the best stay ever! Definitely rent this property!

Kelly and Paul were extremely accommodating and made us feel right at home. Getting up in the morning and enjoying the lake with a cup of coffee was a great way to start the day! The home was well equipped, clean, and beautiful. Checking in and out was a breeze. There are more amenities than you can imagine! Loved our stay there and so did our family. Thank you!

Mixed feelings
We had a wonderful stay here and planned to return annually until… two weeks later I recieved an email stating that I was being charged $75 for new bed sheets. Host said that there was “orange medicine or food spilled on the blankets.” I was confused by this as I was positive we hadn’t ate/drank or used any orange products near the bedrooms. I asked for a photo and what I received was a photo of two tiny brownish dots on a comforter. Not even entirely sure how someone noticed them, and easily could have been there from guests before our stay, but I cant believe I’m being charged damages for it 😅

Great location for visiting Perham
We initially missed that we were renting a shared property with the owners, which we always avoid. But it ended up working out great! The rental side of the property is set up to where you don’t even realize it’s shared. We liked that both bedrooms were upstairs and had bathrooms attached. Great location relative to our family in Perham and the downtown area. We look forward to coming back during the summer to take advantage of the lake. The lake and those amenities will make the rental price more worthwhile vs. our stay in the fall/early winter. But couldn’t have asked for a prettier lake view and spot to watch the sunrise every morning. We will be back!
