Ranier House | On the water in the Historic Heart of Ranier, Minnesota

2 Bedroom House in Ranier, International Falls

With sweeping views from the deck or dock, the Mermaid Landing (1/2 of the Shabby Chic Lake House duplex, owner does not live on site, but has the Mermaid Loft upstairs for their use when they happen to be in town & sometimes for friends wanting a special vacation) is sure to be your favorite spot for relaxation and fun. This downstairs unit has one tub/shower bathroom and an additional 1/2 bath. It sleeps up to 6 on three double beds in three separate rooms (2 bedrooms and a sleeping porch with a pullout). There's also a large corner sofa that could sleep a couple kids. The bedrooms are on the small side, but we were able to fit 2 separate bedrooms and a full bath plus a 1/2 bath without sacrificing a living room, full kitchen, dining area, and porch area for a pullout bed. Other than peak season, the Mermaid Landing usually rents for around the same price as a hotel room.. The beds are high enough off the ground to easily accommodate suitcases underneath and there is a hanging bar attached to the bed.
It has a full gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances, glassware and dishes and any thing you need to cook, Keurig coffee maker with variety of pods, gas grill, patio furniture and umbrella, deck and dock, sand beach swim area, free wifi, cable, smart tv, ( in season and when available; 2-5 bikes(bike to town on the bike trail for your morning latte), 4 k kayaks, two stand up paddle boards, fishing rods and tackle (you'll need to get a fishing license)), 100% cotton bed linens and bath towels, beach towels, dock blankets, washer and dryer in house, and more. Just step off the rocking chair front porch and you're almost at Loony's Brew Pub (formerly Woody's). The Rainy Lake Grill Restaurant is 1 block and the Ranier Municipality (on and off sale) is 2 blocks and Tara's Wharf's Ice Cream shop is across the alley. The Cantilever Hotel, distillery and restaurant is across the street.
During the summer months, a couple of times per month, our little village is lucky enough to have Loony's host a live band(I haven't heard a bad one yet!). Loony's deck is next door to the Shabby Chic Lake House and so if you happen to catch one of these nights, you will probably hear the music until 11 or even midnight sometimes, especially if it's a nice night and you have your windows open. During our annual Ranier Daze festival that falls on the 2nd week of August, there will definitely be a band. July 01st is the Canadian Independence Day and fireworks that can be seen in Ranier usually bring a fun night in our little village.

Summary: The house is perfectly described. It is very well maintained, and very well stocked with all of the necessities. Communication was very quick, and always helpful.Our main purpose for this trip was to relax. We were able to do some stargazing, and some hiking as well. The lake was just beautiful, and we wish it was summer so we could get out into the water!The town had everything we needed, and the entire trip went perfectly. This home was very thoughtfully cared for, and the hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.

Summary: Family of three was just right for the size and space. Very clean and updated kitchen. Views are great and couldn’t get any closer to the water than this one is. Can’t wait to try it in the summer.

Summary: The mermaid is a cute little house on the water in Ranier. It is located perfectly between driving to towns to check out and Voyageur National Park. Amy was great to work with and communicated with us everything we needed to know. The place I would say is more for max of 4 people vs up to 6 like suggested

Summary: Our initial visit was business related which also provided time for self care. The cottage is inviting, cozy and decorated delightfully. The dock was a most welcoming site for respite, reading and sipping wine. The beds are comfortable, sheets colorfully Lilly Pulitzer like with quality through & through from the comforters and towels. The view, sounds and pulse of the area was just what our hearts & souls needed. The cottage is perfectly designed to provide the comforts to any traveler with maximization of space. Thank you for making your home a beautiful option to call home while we travelers long for clean, comfort and contentment.

Summary: Really nice, quality space. So many VRBOs are cheap and full of cheap junk, and this space was really nice and thoughtfully curated. The owners and property managers were all fantastic.

Summary: This is a very cute, renovated older home. We had 4 people (2 teens and 2 adults), and that is the maximum I would want there. It is in a beautiful location, close to all the action. The AC drowns out any noise from people visiting the bar next door.

Summary: This property is everything we needed and wanted. The owners were very kind and communicated well. They even texted to let us know that there was a high likelihood of seeing northern lights on one of the nights we were staying. The house was very clean and well stocked. We loved our stay and if ever in the area again, we will not hesitate to book here again.
