Vacation rentals with lake access in Rainy Lake

This place is BEAUTIFUL!! Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location could not have been better. Especially with trying to see the Northern Lights, this place was everything we needed. The dock looks north, the sauna and hot tub were great for relaxing, and plenty of plates and seating for our group. Grocery store and town was close. One note to those staying here, don’t forget shampoo and other toiletries for your stay.

Place was nice and quiet, a fun getaway with a great family game room. They have a nice dock with decent fishing: we caught a couple of large mouth bass and pike. Beautiful firepit and front porch to watch great sunsets. We enjoyed the sauna, cornhole and outdoor space. Unfortunately the deerfly were a bit annoying making it hard to be outside at times. Would recommend bringing a boat or kayak to get out on the lake. We would come back again.

We absolutely adored this home, land location and the owners. The house was filled with everything and anything you could need. Beds were comfy and the yard, gardens, small private beach and lake were amazing. Jeani and Randy were so kind and thoughtful and their communication was top notch even reaching out to give us an update on the storm that came through, northern lights and harvest moon. Randy was there to meet us and even helped us unload. They had a ton of material for the surrounding areas. We drove up to Voyageurs NP - all of them, Crane Lake and Vermilion Falls, traveled over to do activities in Ely and Tower. They do live onsite but up on top of a hill and we never saw them. We also took the kayaks on the lake. Ducks come to visit several times a day. The neighbors are very friendly, there are trees on both sides so you don't see much. Home is on a dead end road so you can walk dogs without any traffic. Internet speed is great. We would absolutely stay here again.

Brian's place was a nice place to stay. I thought it was nicer in person than what the pictures reflected. Would definitely stay here again!

Super beautiful home and seemed to be brand new. Great location by giants ride. Had all accommodations needed (a meal we were cooking needed a Dutch oven so we brought one ourselves and sure enough they even had one there). Only thing to note is that noise travels well throughout the home so if some people want to go to bed early you almost have to send the rest of people to the garage to not be able to hear convos. Such a small thing though and overall 10/10 place.

We stayed with family for ice fishing vacation. We had such a good time. Favorite part is all the fish we caught and the easy access to drive onto the lake. Very clean. Would visit again.

This was my second stay here and everything was perfect. It’s private, comfortable, and peaceful. I can’t wait for my next stay!

What a picturesque serene setting right on the water. Easy access to Voyageurs, Ranier and International Falls. Layout of the house was great (split bedrooms) for privacy. Beds were very comfortable. The entire house was spotless. Mark was super responsive in answering questions. We would definitely stay again! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

This is our second stay at Sheri’s place. I highly recommend it! Parking with a boat is super easy, huge kitchen, living room and deck area with spectacular views/sunsets of the lake. The best place to stay on the north arm of Rainy Lake.

An absolutely amazing trip. We booked the boathouse to get away from the world for a few days and experience one of Minnesota's beautiful lakes. When we arrived at the boat landing, Julia was waiting for us and took us out to the island. During our visit, we never went further out then we could paddle. The island is a very serene setting - a perfect blend of awe inspiring nature, as well as rustic, yet very comfortable anemities. We spent our days sleeping in a comfortable bed, cooking lunch in the full kitchen while taking in the beauty of the lake, taking in the smell of the pines and exploring the waters on kayaks, paddleboards, and the aquabike. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset every night from the shore, and took our time looking at the endless stars before before retiring to the boathouse for the night. At night, we listened to the waves crash against the shore and loons sing to each other. To the people who grew up visiting the Northwoods, this will feel very nostalgic, and people who have never been will enjoy the new memories and experiences greatly. A perfect place to disconnect from the world. In addition to the wonderful nature and great boat house, Julia is an absolute gem of a person. From the moment we met her, she was so kind and welcoming. You can tell she has a great love and appreciation for the island. She was extremely responsive to questions prior to arriving, as well as when we were on the island. I cannot thank her enough.

We stayed with Joel for a trip where we were working in the area. The cabin was beautiful and extremely clean. Kitchen was well-stocked and had everything we needed. Bathroom was very clean and was also well stocked. Beds were comfortable and rooms were exactly as described. Joel was a great host and responded promptly to any inquiries. Would definitely stay here again!

This place is top notch. The towels, linens and beds were excellent quality. The cleaning supplies and soaps were above average and clearly labeled. The entire house is very tastefully decorated. We had plenty of space and lots of extra things including board games, a foosball table and televisions with HDMI inputs that we could play our own videos on. The kitchen was well stocked not only with pots, pans and appliances but also with spices and some staples. The coffee maker was excellent and coffee was provided, a very nice bonus. The furniture is very comfortable and there is an excellent view of the lake. The dishwasher was brand new and had been recently installed; Kathleen proactively told us about a minor issue that was easy to work around. We really appreciated her reaching out and letting us know in advance. We highly recommend it!

Can’t say enough great things about this cabin. Such cute decor, clean as a whistle, such a well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, awesome location. We would head back in a second!

Quaint and peaceful cottage on the water. Not a lot of frills but just the space to get away. It was affordable compared to other places in the area and since I did have to work, it was nice to have reliable WiFi!

What an amazing place! We loved spending time here and enjoying nature. Our 3 year old did not want to leave “the brown house” and did not want to leave Canada! We did star gazing outside the house one night and a cozy movie night inside the second night. During the day we went hiking across the border. We are already considering visiting again.
