Paul Bunyan’s Lake House

06/07/2026

🌲 Why Paul Bunyan’s Lake House?
Because few places in Minnesota are more connected to the legend of Paul Bunyan than Brainerd.

Folklore credits Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox with carving Minnesota’s lakes and creating the mighty Mississippi River. Our lake house sits on Rice Lake, whose waters flow into that legendary river, right in the heart of Paul Bunyan Country.

When you visit, you’re just minutes from Paul Bunyan Land, Crow Wing State Park, and the start of the 120-mile Paul Bunyan Trail. But the real adventure begins at the lake house itself, where Northwoods-inspired décor, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, big lake views, and peaceful mornings on the water create the perfect Up North getaway.

Whether you’re chasing summer lake days, family memories, or a true taste of Minnesota folklore, Paul Bunyan’s Lake House was built to be part of the story.
