Pine Cone Lodge

About Us

Pine Cone Lodge is a year-round Minnesota lake resort on beautiful Big Sand Lake near Park Rapids. Family-owned for three generations, Pine Cone Lodge offers vacation home rentals for 1 to 17 guests, with options ranging from cozy studios and two-bedroom homes to spacious three-, four- and five-bedroom vacation homes.

While summer is a traditional lake vacation season, Pine Cone Lodge is also a wonderful destination for winter and spring getaways. Plan a family weekend, couples’ getaway, snowmobile trip, girls’ weekend, quilting or crafting retreat, corporate retreat, church retreat or family gathering. Rent one vacation home or combine several homes when friends and family want to stay near one another.

Our newly rebuilt Lodge provides a central gathering place for reunions and retreats, with a large kitchen, spacious dining and gathering areas, two stone fireplaces, beverage room, comfortable sitting areas, pool, ping pong, foosball and air hockey.

Located on approximately 1,000 feet of Big Sand Lake shoreline, Pine Cone Lodge is about two miles from the Heartland State Trail near Dorset and approximately 30 minutes from Itasca State Park and the Mississippi River Headwaters.

Come experience the quieter side of the Park Rapids area. Enjoy snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, spring exploring or simply relaxing at the lake.

Stay together. Cook together. Play together.
