About this property

Serene river apartment walking distance to downtown and Heartland Trail!

Enjoy the views of a river cruise without leaving the couch! Our newly-remodeled apartment has picturesque views of the Fishhook River and Red Bridge. Take a stroll or bike ride down the Heartland trail, or head to the cutest downtown in all of MN - both just a few minutes walk away. Enjoy coffee or cocktails on your private patio, fish from the private dock, and don't forget to bring your fur babies along, too! Free laundry available on-site.

We have a full kitchen and coffee bar for eating in. Get cozy in the private bedroom with attached bath. Additional sleeping space is available on the fold down couch. Across the river you will find Heartland Park, which features pickleball courts, a basketball court, playground, frisbee golf, and the Heartland trail, which is great for a short walk or longer bike ride. In winter months the trail is open for snowmobiles. The trail goes to neighboring towns including Dorset, Nevis and Walker. If you plan to bring any larger watercraft and need a landing, there is one located in the park also.

The apartment is situated in the lower level of the building, which is also home to an office space on the main level. You will have a private entrance, patio, and dock which is completely separate from the business operations. The parking lot is shared during the regular work hours.

Book today and reserve your restful time at the river!

*The property is in a great location - walkable to downtown coffee/ice cream shops - yet not too loud as it faces away from the street. *Check-in and check-out was easy using a lockbox and good directions by the owner. *Very clean property with enough towels and blankets. *already booked another stay!

This apartment was much more spacious than we expected. Loved the river view. It was very quiet despite being on the busy street. Easy walk to downtown. Queen bed was firm. The pull out sofa was comfortable. So nice to have access to a washer and dryer. Easy walk to the park for our dog. Close to the Heartland Trail. Overall very pleased with this apt and would recommend to anyone visiting Park Rapids.

The apartment is charming!! Marie was a great host, easy to reach when we had questions. We found everything we needed and then some. The kitchen is well equipped. There was plenty of bedding, and the fold out sofa was very comfortable. I regret we were not able to do fishing or swimming off of the dock because we were visiting family and busy, but it would’ve been ideal. The location is so pretty and we loved that we could walk into town for coffee, shopping, and food. I had read one review saying that it can be bright if you’re staying in the front area with the fold out couch. So we brought sleeping eye masks and had no problems. It was very quiet. We hope to come back again.

The place is beautiful and the lake right in front of the main entrance creates a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. As soon as we entered, we were welcomed by two comfortable living rooms that made the home feel warm and inviting. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the utensils we needed, making it feel just like home.The coffee station was a wonderful touch, offering a wide variety of coffee choices along delicious treats that made us feel welcomed. Our communication with the host, Marie was also excellent. From check in to throughout our stay, messaged us to ensure our comfort. The only downside was the bed linens seemed as though they had not been freshly washed, and there was an unpleasant smell throughout the house. I hope this can be improved for future guests.Overall, it's a lovely place for vacation.

This is the perfect place to rent in Park Rapids. The host goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. The location is on a river with beautiful views and is also a very easy walk to downtown which has many shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend this place and hope to stay again… thank you!

The place was nice with lots of room! Enjoyed morning coffee on the patio. Along with evening drinks while fishing off the dock! Biking on the bike trail to Dorset is only 6.5 miles one way. It’s even walking distance to Park Rapids downtown area. A very relaxing stay!

We loved the location. It truly was walking distance to downtown and to parks. The waterfront was exceptional and private. It was centrally located to things to see and convenience. Necessities were throughout in case you forgot something simple. The convertible sofa bed was quite comfortable. The wildlife was fun to watch (loons, mallard, muskrat & and an eagle). The breakfast cafe across the street was extremely good as were the burgers at The Royal. We also ate at the Minnesota Fountain with very generous portions. Itasca State Park was a quick drive away! The only feedback I have would be to either have a way to turn off the outdoor patio lights (on a timer) or to offer better window coverings. Alot of light shines inside for those who go to bed before the lights auto shut off. Also maybe some subtle night lights on the one step in the kitchen for anyone who might get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. We were overall very happy with our stay & would definitely return again.
