About this property

Peterson Bay Lodge - Open Mid June thru Mid August Fri-Fri-2027 Available now!

Peterson Bay Lodge/log home booking summer 2027 now and already booking!: 2028 will become available once it is only 24 months out. Weekly booking from Friday to Friday is required with a 10% discount for the week. We may have some select 3 night minimum weekend booking windows that open up later. These would be earlier June or later August.

I also rent a Forester Fisher 18 foot pontoon for the length of your stay only. Prices vary so contact me for details. See pics. I am very reasonable on rates compared to local Marine rentals and monitor the prices regularly. I do want to insure that the renter of the pontoon in your group has had experience with a boat or pontoon before renting. A simple understanding of your experience is all we are wanting to know and ask that you follow the pontoon instructions/rules you will receive. Thanks!

A public boat access on lake makes it convenient to launch your own boat as well. Plenty of dock space for your boat on the docks at my property.

My place is a highly rated Norway pine lodge on a sand beach and crystal clear Little Bass Lake! Great fishing from the docks, diving dock or out on this deep lake (72 feet). Kayaks, canoe, paddleboat and paddleboard and water mat provided.

I have a Four season hand-scribed log home on Little Bass lake on a private 5.0 acre lot at end of dead end road. Only 1 distant neighbor. Interior finished with knotty pine ceiling and Australian Cyprus wood floors, and Tamarack paneling. Huge Lake superior stone real fireplace with firewood provided. Full kitchen including fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, stove, oven and center island and all the utensils for cooking. Watch the stars and northern lights from the large deck facing the quiet bay at the South end of Little Bass Lake. There is good fishing right from docks. A-Frame vaulted ceilings with master BR and bath in loft. Main floor has 2 large bedrooms, full bathroom, kitchen and great room and has a 4 season porch that is great for family meals any time of year. The walkout basement is unfinished but there are laundry facilities and an elliptical for use by guests.

The campfire pit makes an excellent spot for conversation, singalongs and S'mores. Firewood provided.

A 150-acre 70 foot deep lake, Little Bass has an abundant fishery including northern pike, large mouth bass, good crappie fishing, and even the occasional walleye. You will want to fish for walleye early or late as its such a clear body of water:)

See the beach pics. Sand beach for building sand castles and sand bottom out to 5 feet. There is a diving dock platform to swim or kayak to.

There is also great cross country skiing, downhill skiing/tubing, hiking and bike trail system close by in the Chippewa National Forest. Just google Itasca county trails or Mount Itasca to find them

Broadband wireless internet and basic cable TV included with a smart tv for streaming. I also have a high chair and a pack n play for infant guests! Please let me know if you need these put out for you!

Thanks! Randy

Ps: my cleaners are excellent and sanitize all surfaces. I’ve received many compliments. My cleaning fee is just what they charge me.

PPS: Sustainable practices: In addition to recycling bins in the basement which are clearly labeled, you are coming to a Forest and I love trees. You will see that I have planted many white and red pines on the property and that I nurture them. And though I try to insure a view of the lake from the lodge, I have worked hard not to cut down any more trees that necessary in the building process. So I think of my lodge as my 'treehouse'. Trees as you know take carbon out of the atmosphere. And of course looking at their beauty in addition to the water and blue skies always makes me feel calm and at ease. There are views of the lake from lodge but it is also very forest like and private at the lodge. A short walk to the beach gives you the full beach and lake experience.

Perfect weekend getaway!

We stayed here labor day weekend (my husband, myself and our 2 kids ages 11yrs and 3yrs) We rented the pontoon which was well worth it as we went fishing everyday. The cabin is beautiful and the location was so private and relaxing! We will definitely go back!

The lodge was even more beautiful in person. Great layout and set up regardless of the weather or season. Randy was very easy to work with and communicated as needed throughout the process. Crystal clear water, great for swimming and fishing. Fish off the dock with a worm and you catch a panfish eveey cast. Great experience for younger kids. And for the older kids, the pontoon and kayaks brought much success with larger bass and northern. We hope to be back!

We loved this beautiful log home, it was perfect for our two families. The kids especially loved the water- jumping off the raft, the kayaks, paddle bot, etc. The pontoon was great for fishing, no ladder for jumping off and getting back on, but we didn’t need it because they loved the raft! Very relaxing place And the deck is amazing!
