This place was beautiful! The interior was very clean and lovely. It had everything we could possibly need. The lake is beautiful with plenty of wildlife to observe as well as great fishing. There was ample space for the whole family, plus John and Wendy were excellent hosts.

The home was perfect for our family. We used the outdoor kitchen almost daily. John responded very quickly to any of our questions. We would definitely go back to this home. We were disappointed it had been booked for next year

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The kitchen and pantry were amazing they made cooking here a joy. The owners truly thought of everything for this home — they didn’t miss a single detail.During our trip, we enjoyed a family outing to the Mississippi Headwaters and Bemidji, and it was so nice to come back each day to such a comfortable, welcoming space. The house is very kid-friendly, with plenty of toys, an outdoor swingset, and even a raked sand beach for hours of fun. The lake is a bit weedy with lily pads, but that didn’t stop us from paddle boarding and floating. The kids even did some off-the-dock fishing — nothing big enough to keep, but still lots of fun!We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would love to come back!

Family Vacation at Jewel Lodge
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!

Mantrap lake vacation 2025
House was very well maintained and open. Fire pit area was nice, free supply of wood was great and the kids enjoyed the added bonus of a swing set

The most beautiful VRBO we have stayed at.The Hosts had a person on hand every day to assist us if we needed anything including firewood. This is one VRBO you can believe the pictures on their advertising site. This place has everything you need, a huge spacious kitchen stocked with everything, large double door fridge/freezer and stove/ovens. It even had a coffee/beverage nook.There is a game table with sitting areas, a TV area, and a large dining area with a long wooden table that seats 12. There is a large master suite on the main floor with a walk-in closet, bathroom with a bidet, two sinks and a spacious walk in wet room with a shower and bath tub. Upstairs has several bedrooms and bathrooms. Enough to sleep up to 18. Everything is new, remodeled and up to date. Our family had a wonderful vacation experience at the Jewel Lodge on Mantrap Lake. Thank you to our hosts John & Wendy! And a special on site hostess Ellie!

This property is simply gorgeous tucked away in the north woods. We stayed with a group for a baseball tournament in town and the bedroom and bathroomSet up was so comfortable and plenty of room and privacy for everyone. Gorgeous updates, kitchen stocked beyond any expectations. Plenty of linens, games, and conveniences of home, actually more than home for some things, wow! Quiet lakefront makes for a delightful weekend or week long stay. Cannot wait to come back. Our group loved it.

Great Family Retreat
I don't normally write reviews, but thought it was warranted in this case. We had a family retreat for my mom's 80th birthday at the lodge. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the checkin to the checkout John did a great job of communicating. The lodge has been recently updated which made it feel like we were the first ones to stay there. It rained the entire time we were there, but the cabin was so condusive to socializing and relaxing that we didn't even notice. Can't wait to get back there soon!
