We had a great stay at Pickerel Hideaway! Everything we needed plus more was included. Amy was accommodating and nearby if we needed anything. The fishing was great (for our catch & release crew) and many could be seen right off the dock. The swim areas and floating raft were great additions for everyone. The house was clean, organized, and large enough for our large group. ##### Jennifer G.

All 8 of us ages 2-67 enjoyed the pontoon, paddle board, kayaks and beach! The sleeping options worked great for our family and cooking was a breeze with a well stocked kitchen! Amy is very responsive and friendly and a pleasure to work with! The telltale sign that we love this place is that we’re booked for next year! It’ll be our third year vacationing here! ##### Terri R.

We had a large group stay for a week at this property and had the best time! It had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. We had ample room for all of our vehicles to park, along with space for a boat. The extra fridge in the garage was a huge bonus. The kitchen was well stocked with starter supplies, and all the utensils you could need. They had a large assortment of games to play and the kids loved the upstairs toy area! We were able to catch many fish right from the dock, including Northerns, Bass, and Panfish! The kids loved playing on the beach and using the included kayaks/paddle boards! We rented the pontoon for the week and took it out on the lake multiple times. Amy was great about showing us how to get everything going. The property was well kept and Amy was great to work with! ##### Katie P.

Our first impressions of this lake house did not disappoint as we entered this beautiful home!! Everything that one could possibly need plus much more were already at the house!! The grounds were very well taken care of, the beach provided hours of entertainment for our children and they loved the log for their sleeping area! We can’t wait to stay here again next summer!! ##### Caleb A.

The cabin was extremely clean and stocked with everything you can think of. Beautiful cabin with a large deck overlooking the lake. Very private and peaceful location. They have awesome firepits and water toys, also extremely clean. We rented the pontoon and had a blast fishing and just exploring the lake. We enjoyed our stay immensely and hope to be back! Also, Amy was wonderful to work with! ##### viviana l.

Amy gave us a tour of the lake upon arrival in the pontoon so we’d know the fishing spots and even provided grandpa with a walking stick to make it easier to get to the dock. Will definitely be back! 5 stars given by all! ##### Wade N.

The amenities are excellent as well. The kitchen is stocked with every day essentials such as flour, sugar, spices, oils. The boat was in excellent condition and we had a lot of successful fishing trips on it. Amy responds to you very quickly and she makes sure all your questions are answered and needs are met! I highly recommend this property for a fun and relaxing vacation! ##### Theresa D.

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!!! ##### Julie R.

Perfect spot and home with enough space for all of us to hang out and sleep comfortably!! The house was well stocked with kitchen supplies surpassing our expectations! We loved how Amy met us and showed us the lake and everything we needed to know about the pontoon!! Our family loved playing bags, stargazing, beach time with our grandson, games on the porch… the memories go on and on! We’ve already booked for next year! ##### Terri R.

The property was on Pickerel Lake. They provided many games, firewood for campfires, and fun water toys for all ages (6-60's). We rented the pontoon and everyone enjoyed cruising, fishing, sunset rides, etc. The landlord was friendly & great to answer questions. We enjoyed meeting them and fit right in with us.

This was a new location for us for our annual lake vacation with family (Our grown children and grandchildren) and it was a perfect fit. So many things to do and a large enough property for us to spread out and do different activities. Amy was amazing and left us a welcome gift basket for our arrival. So many thoughtful touches to this property. Thank you for sharing with us! ##### Jill K.

Their attention to detail is the best we have seen. My wife has been taking a summer "Up North" vacation for over 50 years. We decided to try Park Rapids this year and we are glad we are back. It is a great place to spend a week, lots to do and plenty of local amenities. Back to Amy and her family, the place is very well appointed and everything is well thought out. You can see they take pride in what they are offering you and your family to use. We highly recommend a stay with them. ##### MIKE H.

Three generations enjoyed the spectacular views, the spacious property and the true UpNorth feeling the cabin has. The three floors including lots of places to sleep, a well -stocked kitchen, three full bathrooms, and many more amenities make this cabin a perfect place to stay. We were able to catch enough fish for a delicious fish dinner. Our fourteen year old grandson actually caught a record size bass and a huge walleye! We loved having campfires on the hill overlooking the lake. This year we enjoyed using the paddleboat in addition to the kayaks and paddleboards. The pontoon was a special addition and we enjoyed several quiet and peaceful rides at night. Amy is an amazing host, and it was so special that we were able to talk to her. ##### James S.

Our three generation family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Pickerel Hideaway. We got wonderful use out of the very generous selection of lake toys, from sand toys for the kids, paddle boards, kayaks, pedal boat and pontoon for the whole family. The water is super clean and clear. We had our choice of fire pits to star gaze each night and enjoy one another’s company. The kitchen had everything we could have asked for when it came to meal preparation, and then some! A dishwasher would have been appreciated but we had enough adults to bond over the sink! The property was extremely clean and had every little thing we needed for our stay. The play area upstairs was a huge hit with our three 8 to 3 year old kids and we all enjoyed the huge selection of board games! The tvs weren’t switched on all weekend and weren’t even asked for, there was so much to keep everybody entertained. I would highly recommend this gem to any group looking to enjoy everything lake life has to offer, in the best of settings. ##### Sinead C.

Our family had a wonderful week at Pickeral Hideaway! Amy and Diane were great hosts, they were very responsive and fun to talk with. The house was awesome, everything we could have expected and more! The house and property were immaculate. The house was well stocked with everything we needed, kitchen supplies, bathroom supplies, etc. We used the grill several times during our stay. The toy room upstairs was great for the kids. I sat in the screened in porch every day just watching the lake and wildlife. There were so many things for everyone of all ages to do, water toys, kayaks, paddle boards, a pedal boat, fishing off the dock, and on and on. We rented the pontoon for the week; it was a hit as well. Upon arrival, Amy gave us a tour of the lake which was nice. The sandy beach was a hit with the kids. Park Rapids is a neat town, there are several stores to get groceries and supplies. There is a lot of local shopping options downtown, and some larger chain stores as well. If ice cream and candy is appealing, you will certainly want to go downtown, we did (twice)! Itasca State Park is about a 30-minute drive north. It is worth the trip to see where the Mississippi River begins. This was the 6th year of our family taking a trip like this, somewhere different each time. Each year we spend the last day thinking of pros and cons for the review. We could not come up with anything negative. Everything was perfect and we hope to come back!! ##### Eric G.
