Our weekend stay at Honeybee Lane was exactly what we had hoped for: peaceful, serene, and cozy. Layne's cabin is very clean and is exactly as pictured. She has carefully planned out the cabin to accommodate the needs of her guests including: board games, beach towels, kayaks, life jackets, fire pit tools, and kitchen amenities. Layne also gifted us a very sweet gift basket with snacks, coffee, and local honey. The cabin is only 15 minutes away from the Lake Itasca State Park and from Main Street in Park Rapids. We will definitely be back for another weekend getaway!

If you’re looking for a peaceful, private getaway without having to sacrifice everyday amenities, you cannot do better than Honeybee Lake house. This place is a total dream! Extraordinarily clean? Yep. Tastefully decorated? Yep. Comfortable, quiet, with an amazing lake view where you can hear loons calling? YEP. On top of all this, the host has seemed to have thought of everything for amenities! The place is stock full of stuff you might’ve forgotten at home (things like q-tips, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, and even white noise machines in the bedrooms!) , which really solidifies what an amazing host they are. There was even a sweet gift basket left for us of some locally made honey and other treats. 🥺 Overall, it was a 10/10 stay for my family and I! You will not regret booking this place for your next getaway.

The Cozy Cottage is the perfect place to go for a relaxing time at the Lake. The home is beautiful and perfectly maintained. Everything is completely updated from the kitchen to the bathroom. The beds are super comfortable and everything is impeccably clean. It is lovely. They have big outdoor spaces with a great deck overlooking the lake and a back deck with a large table and chairs and a fire pit. Layne could not have been more helpful to make our stay go smoothly. We loved the peace and tranquillity, the deer, ducks and swans going by. And of course the call of the loons.

Your beautiful lake home was so comfortable, absolutely adorable, fresh and clean, and stocked with everything we needed and much more. We loved the kayaking, campfires, and watching the sun rise over the lake. We were even fortunate to view the super moon one night—stunning!!! It is a 5-star vacation home. Thanks for the memories.

Fantastic spot! Our family loved the cabin and all the little touches. It comes with everything you need and a little more! The beds were fantastic and location was perfect. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the deck, and the front lawn had room for our badminton net! We look forward to coming back! The king room also had plenty of room for our travel bassinet 🙂

If you’re looking for a beautiful location and a charming place to stay this is it. Listing was accurately described. Everything was clean and decorated in such a detailed way. My favorite thing to do was kayak on the lake and watch the wildlife. Very communicative and responsive hosts. We would stay here again.
