Mille Lacs sugar sand retreat

Great place to get away. Our family cabin has been fully updated to meet the needs of our guests and family. Main floor is a open floor plan with beautiful views of lake and awesome screened in porch with fire table. Basement is setup with two bedrooms and four beds with a walkout to the lake. Every room has great views to the lake and home has a wrap around deck with plenty of space to enjoy. Our shoreline is as nice as they come on Mille Lacs- great swimming and gradual slope with no weeds or rocks. Great place to have a winter get away! Snowmobile right from the front yard-miles of trails off or on the lake. Pull the portable fish House out to a premier Minnesota lake. If you chose to explore the area, or just hang out and relax, you won't be disappointed. We have 3 bedrooms, first one has 2 twin beds, second has 2 double beds and the third one has 1 queen size bed.

Family Fourth Getaway

We needed a place for our annual family 4th of July celebration. The beach and swimming was amazing! The yard allowed room for our annual family games. The house was supplied with everything we could possibiy need. The host was very responsive and extremely helpful when we had an issue with the dock. Definitely recommend staying here. The neighbors were friendly too!

Milacs lake

I would love to thank the owner for the opportunity to stay at there home. Looking forward to staying there again next year. The scenic view and sound of the waves coming into shore is what makes vacations like ours awesome.

Awesome experience!

I rented this lake house for a few days for a get away for me and some friends and had a great time! The house is very clean and well stocked. The access to the lake was perfect and the water was shallow so you might need to go out a bit to get a good swimming depth. Also made use of the kayaks which was super fun! The outdoor sitting area was perfect for our game nights! Wish we had longer to make use of the fire pit, but just an excuse to come back in the future! Overall was very pleased and would love to come back at some point!

Fantastic View on the Lake

The lake house was a perfect getaway for our family of four. We enjoyed days of fishing and tubing and it was nice to dock right to the pier of the house. The house was great, clean, and my wife enjoyed the screened patio with fire pit. The house did not have WiFi, but it was alright to completely disconnect! If we were to go to Lake Mille Lacs again, we would stay here again.

Mom’s getaway

Had a mental health retreat with a fellow mother. It was tranquil and just where we needed to be. Noticed lights in the garage were on our first night there and later found out through the owner that someone was stopping by in the garage. It was communicated the day it occurred, but me being in vacation mode did not look at my phone until much later. As a woman it just gave me an uneasy feeling. With that said, I would go back and bring my family as it was very family oriented.

Beautiful location with amazing views

A nice cabin on a beautiful lake. We stayed there with kids who very much enjoyed the sandy beach and shallow waters. Perfect, fun and safe for little kids. Cabin is well equipped with kitchen items, grill, linens, soap, etc. The 3 season porch was a life saver from the mosquitos. Allowed us to be outside and enjoy the view. Kayaks were fun to just get on the lake and paddle along the beach. Recommend getting your own water toys. Luckily we packed some. Internet can be slow so plan ahead if you have a need to be online or stream movies for the kids on a rainy day. Neighbors are very friendly and awesome. Overall, great vacation and would love to go back again.

Great Views and Location on Lake Mille Lacs

My wife and I stayed here with our son, daughter, and son-in-law. There was plenty of space for us all to sleep. The house was stocked with all the things we could need. The air conditioning was very nice on the hot days. We also loved the outdoor screened in space to listen to the waves without worrying about bugs. The views are very private and was nice to see out the great big windows. We would stay here again in the spring or fall and hopefully have better luck fishing at that time. Overall it was a great place to spend the week together. Communication with the hosts was also great. Thanks for sharing your house with us!

Peaceful and Relaxing

This was exactly what our family needed. A nice quiet retreat where we could relax, but still have plenty to do at the same time. Sand toys, kayaks, yard games, board games, etc. As our son(8) put it, just feeling the waves wash over your feet on the large sandy beach was something he looked forward to every morning. The water was warm, sandy bottom and stayed around 3-4 ft deep past the end of the dock. Our daughter(4) wanted to stay forever. We saw many different kinds of birds including bald eagles. We packed extra things like laundry detergent, toys, and towels but didn’t need it because the house has everything you would need. Convenience store 5 minutes away was stocked like a small grocery store for all the food items you may have forgot. This place exceeded our expectations and we are planning on booking for next year.

Pefectly perfect

This property is nicely built with the living area being on the main floor and 2 bedrooms in the walk out basement. The deck and screen porch with the gas fire table was where we spent our time when we weren't in or on the water. The beach is perfect sand and goes far out into the lake before dropping off! We did bring our 17 foot fishing boat, but the north end of the lake gets shelled by wind often and because the water level is so low this summer we found it impossible to tie off our boat to the dock. It was not a problem though, we just trailered to a public launch in Isle in a bay where the water was calmer and enjoyed the lake and Father Hennepin State Park. We also brought our kayaks and spent an entire day riding the waves right out front - no worry of capsizing because the water is so shallow (and warm). This home is clean, the check-in process was easy, communication with Craig was fast and positive, and the neighborhood safe. The home has absolutely everything one could possibly need for a delightful stay, just a touch more organizing of the kitchen is needed. The refrigerator did freeze some of our produce causing us to have to throw it away so just watch for that. And there are critters (to be expected in Minnesota lake country) that got into the garbage can - again not a big deal but just be aware and bring a strap if you have one to strap the garbage can shut. Loved every minute and would visit again!

The property itself was decent. Lots of sleeping, lots of dishes, the bones were good. The property had dead flies inside and outside of the home. The screened room had 1/2 deep of dead flies lying inside and outside of the room. Dead flies on outside furniture, BBQ, etc. the internet is definitely spotty. I let owner know perhaps their housekeeping is the issue!!!

We had a great time at the cabin! Beautiful property and very well kept. The weather didn’t cooperate but we still had a great time. That view from the upstairs was amazing!
