"It was very comfortable and clean."

"Every year it has been consistently clean and enjoyable."

"We just wrapped-up our week long family vacation at Jewel Lodge on Mantrap Lake. This home is a true jewel, as it addressed everything our large group needed for a fantastic week. The home is beautiful, extremely well equipped and easily accommodated a group of 18 people (8 kids under 11). John and Wendy are great hosts and were quick to answer any questions and assist with any needs the group had. Everyone had a great time and are already looking forward to next year's stay!"

"Had a couple questions about the house, but the Host responded immediately. The house was a great fit for our family. Loved the family room downstairs. It was a great weekend!"

"The bed is wonderfully comfortable. We loved the spacious bathroom. Plenty of natural light. Great location right outside the park entrance. We recommend it!"

"We visit Big Timber every year. Somehow we always get the same room (which we love). Love this place and owners. Will come back for sure. "

"We had a great time. Everything you would expect from a Minnesota Cabin. The lake was nice and caught several nice fish...we put them back so they're still in there. Dog loved it. Too hot for the hot tub but looked well kept and perfect for cooler weather. We'd go back again. Friendly neighbors/people passing by on the lake. There was one restaurant about 15 minutes away. Brought a George Foreman and that worked out nice for cooking. There was a grill but never used it/looked at it. Cabin/Outhouse was clean. The hill down to the cabin is sandy/washed out a bit but i have a jeep so this wasn't an issue...you'd need 4wheel drive to get all the way down to the cabin..but plenty of room to park/trailer at the top of the hill. Super fun!"

"Very clean. Great Location."

"My family and I had a wonderful week long stay, the house was spacious, clean and inviting. We thoroughly enjoyed fishing, kayaking, boating, swimming, paddle boarding and floating on Lake Pickerel, along with great bonfires and making s’mores in the evening with a beautiful view of the lake. Being able to use all the paddle boards and Kayaks was amazing and so fun!! We rented their pontoon and had many hours of enjoyment fishing from it as well as swimming in the middle of the lake. On days that it rained, we played board games and cards for hours (thank you for the great variety of board games!!) - we were never bored. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed cooking most of our meals but did enjoy a few delicious meals in Park Rapids! A huge thank you to our hosts for answering all our questions and giving us this amazing place to spend time with our kids- many great memories were created! It was a great week! Thank you also for your advice on walking paths, bike trails and pickle ball courts! I hardly wanted to leave, it was such a great week!!!! Thank you Pickerel Hideaway!!! "
