Step back in time during your stay at 'The Bailey House,' a 6-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation rental home in Backus. Built in 1902, this historic home-away-from-home is filled with antiques and is the ideal lake retreat for your next getaway to Minnesota. With accommodations for up to 15, friends and family will spend days in the great outdoors and nights enjoying the peace and quiet of this spacious and wooded property.
'The Bailey House' is ideally located steps from the crystal clear waters of Pine Mountain Lake. While the home has a secluded feel, it's near great options for dining like Willard Saloon and Eatery, and the Corner Store and Restaurant.
You certainly won't have to travel far for days of fun during your stay in Backus! Just 1 block away you'll find a public boat launch and Rocky Dock park with a playground, picnic area, and swimming beach.
Rent a boat and spend the day on the lake fishing for walleye, bass, northern pike, and panfish on the 1,612-acre lake. The kids in your group will like swimming in the water while you grill hamburgers at the picnic area!
The Paul Bunyan Trail and Rest stop is a half block from the house and offers 100 miles of paved hiking, biking, rollerblading, and snowmobile trails.
The house was very interesting and fun. Family had a great time. Fire pit was great. Kitchen is small with very little work space so that made it difficult to cook for a large group. The house could do with a deep clean. Very dusty and animal hair pretty much everywhere.

This beautiful OLD mansion was exactly as described, it needs summer pictures, and the lake and a beautiful park are right out the door. We celebrated my moms 80th Birthday.

Great place, lots of space to spread out.
It is a very large house in a nice location for a family. A small but sandy beach and playground is only a few minutes walk away. Most of the furniture was old and uncomfortable and the kitchen was small. The house was also not very clean. Despite these issues we enjoyed our family weekend.

Our family enjoyed our stay, the lake, and the area.
