We have ended our resort and bed & breakfast business, and are remodeling our Lodge for year around living. We will be moving into it in late spring 2005. We are selling our current home and the adjacent guest cabin as a single unit. This property has its own docks (two) and boathouse, 160 feet of shore, a 32’x32’ garage/utility building, and will include use of the fine (no drop-off) swimming beach that is located on the Lodge property. We will continue to rent our large cabin (on the Lodge property), but only by the month.

Big Mantrap is a large (1770 acre), clear, "rambling" lake with many bays, several islands and miles of untouched shore. It is one of Minnesota's outstanding Muskellunge fisheries and has excellent fishing for Pan fish, Bass, and Northern Pike. The lake is also ideal for viewing wild life from boat or canoe. Ducks and blue heron dot the shore and bald eagles nest along it. Deer come down to the shore to feed; loons and their young frequent the bays; beaver, muskrat and otter may be seen. A blue heron rookery is a short hike away. Excellent restaurants, horseback riding, several fine golf courses and miles of paved biking trails are nearby.
