Family reunion
This is the second time we have stayed at A place in the Woods for a family reunion. Wonderful accommodations for the 18 of us that stayed there, and the 20 others that came for a day. Our host Tammy was very helpful and responded immediately to questions or concerns. Lots of room inside to gather and still be able to spread out. The kitchen and refrigerator are industrial size and well equipped. The dining area could sit 30 easily. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms clean and well stocked with towels etc. The pool table and foosball were a big hit with the teens. The grounds were well taken care of and spacious. NO mosquitoes! Great firepit. The pavilion and picnic tables allowed us to gather and eat outside too. Many games and play areas outside. We were very happy with our stay and will be back.

Second Stay, Family Reunion
This was our family's second time to stay at this property. We had a fabulous time. The kitchen area makes meal prep a breeze for a large group and the outdoor grounds gave us plenty of space to play yard games and volleyball. Great way to spend a long weekend!

Low key weekend
The accommodations and layout of the property were perfect for a bunch of friends to hang out. The industrial kitchen was stocked with pots and pans, utensils, and plenty of dishware. It was nice to walk around the property, play yard games, and sit around the fire. All-in-all it was just what we needed for a low key but fun weekend.

Amazing family stay
Our family had a blast during our stay at Mille Lacs Lodge! The kids and adults all enjoyed the spacious lodge and outdoor areas. Memories were made making s’mores around the campfire, playing volleyball, cooking meals together in the kitchen, and playing wiffleball in the large outdoor space. Tammy (the owner) was very responsive to all of our questions and quick to provide help when needed. We loved our time there and highly recommend it!

Annual Family Summer Vacation Year 7
Exceptional family vacation in Minnesota. Everyone was thrilled with their time spent at Tammy's Millie Lac Lodge. A kitchen that has it all with a cooler that holds anything you need to keep cool and a freezer that let us get all the Ice Cream the Grandchildren could eat. So much fun! Campfires every night, a playground and outdoor shelter with plenty of room for fun meals outside. No insect bites was a huge accomplishment and we will brag about that for years to come. (There is a magic at Millie Lac Lodge that will always be in our hearts and memories. Grandpa loved his vacation and was given the opportunity to enjoy 12 wonderful Grandchildren and family from five states.

Home away from home.
We were very happy with our stay. The property had everything we needed. It was clean and spacious. There was a gas station near by if we ever ran out of anything, and state parks were close too for out door activities. Really recommend this property to others.

Wildlife haven
We're very impressed with the kitchen set up. Plenty of room for all our refrigerator and freezer needs. The gas stove accomodated many cooks at the same time. Pool table was a hit with everyone. The grounds were amazing where we roasted many marshmallows and did a lot of hiking. We spotted the infamous albino deer. There were many beds to pick from and a lot of games were played both indoors and out Playground was enjoyed the grandkids. A very peaceful landing spot.

WONDERFUL place to stay
I would give this place a rating of 11 with 10 being the highest rating!!! Tammy was wonderful to have as our host. Everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable. All was SO WELL supplied that we had NOTHING that wasn't available for anything we needed. The comfortable spaces indoors as well as the large lawns and play equipment outside made this the perfect place for our family reunion, from our college age granddaughter to our one year old! Did I forget to mention the great setting for the bonfire which we enjoyed one night? Our kids have all told us that it was a perfect setting for all being together, as well as each family having their own rooms. It was awesome! I would HIGHLY recommend A Place in the Woods for any group.

Great for large groups
We rented Mille Lacs Lodge fir a large family get together. The house was clean, grounds were well maintained and the property could easily accommodate a group our size (16). Tammy was responsive and easy to reach. I would recommend this property for anyone looking for a venue that can handle a large grill up of all ages.

Great place for family reunion
18 women ages 6-69 spent 4 nights here, and would again. It was unbelievably supplied, not only with kitchen items for both cooking and serving, but with a wide variety of things to ensure our fun: volleyball net, balls of all sorts, playground equipment, fire ring with lots of chairs - and even toasting forks! - board games, many tables of different sizes which we put to good use for crafts, jigsaw puzzles, games, eating, etc., pool table, and on and on. The rooms were big, there were plenty of bathrooms, and everybody had a bed! Communication with our hostess was easy and prompt. Wonderful facility!
