Backus : locations de vacances

We recently made the trek to Aitkin area for some family events and wanted a rental that fit all of our family but also had a view. Even though it was still frozen, the lake was a beautiful back drop. The home was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with anything we needed for a comfortable stay. We cooked our own meals and everything worked great. Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake! Highly recommend.

This was an absolutely perfect place for our weekend getaway. The cabin was idyllic with the most stunning views. It was light, airy, cozy, clean, and super comfortable. Highlight of the weekend was saunaing, lake jump, then hot shower, finished off with some cozy hot bevs, blankets, and board games. The loft bed was truly one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Our first night we went and looked at the stars and the second, the northern lights. And nothing beats the sound and fresh smell of a lake right outside your window. I wish I could give 10/5 stars. Thank you!!

This rustic cabin is in a beautiful, private area with amazing lake views from both decks. We really enjoyed the serene location and the large living room to have family over. James was a responsive and kind host, would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay! Very comfortable and super roomy place. Definitely will use again when I come back to the area!

Very very nice place- the fold out couches made it so we could comfortably accommodate our whole crew. 10/10 would stay again.

Accessibility is a priority for me so having a zero entry entrance for wheelchair access was great. There is a single step (about 2") from the main entrance to the family room on the main level. Kitchen unfortunately was on the upper level, however, we were able to make do with some adjustments on our end that didn't impact qaulity time for dinner. The yard was navigable in a wheelchair as well and was able to get to the pier. There is a lot of amenities for entertainment for everyone, like ping pong, cornhole and darts. There's also a decent size play house that was thoroughly enjoyed as well. The lake is pretty shallow where the dock is, and a lot of lily pads so shore fishing was difficult without the correct lures. You can find panfish and bass, too. DNR unfortunately doesnt have too much info on the type of fish in this lake, however, thats what I saw. Host is communciative, responsive, and flexible within reason of any requests and felt greatful for them for it.

This is a beautiful location on lovely northern Minnesota lake. Accommodations are clean, and well equipped. Hosts are very nice and welcoming. I would recommend to anyone looking for an up north experience on a Great Lake

LeAnn was great to work with. We had a large family gathering and there was plenty of room for everyone. Plenty to do at the home for all my nieces and nephews. We made great memories and the kids are asking to go back in the summertime already.
