Beautiful location for a wedding!

This home has a special place in my families history, and it was the perfect place to have a small wedding. The home is perfectly equipped for a family gathering, and beyond beautiful. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and lovely to work with. There is no where better than the stone house on the lake, and we're so appreciative of this listing and being able to spend time in the home. We're hoping to be back in the future!

Beautiful property

This is a wonderful home filled with history with a great location on Lake Mille Lac! Beautiful property with greenery and flowers, perfect for a stroll and spending time with loved ones. Highly recommended for larger families/ group of friends. Great accommodations and very clean space! Barbara and David were very responsive to questions and provided great recommendations. Perfect dock to fish from and get the paddles boards out on the water. We would definitely book and stay again!

Stonehouse experience

There is always that bit of doubt that a listing is too good to be true. This listing was everything it looked like and more! It easily accommodated our extended family of 10. The grounds and beach views are stunning! We found space all over the house to spread out. Dave and Barb were gracious attentive hosts! Many memories were made that we will revisit for years to come!! And the family vote is we should return next year.

Best vacation ever!!!

By far, the best experience I’ve ever had. The pictures is exactly to how amazing the view is in real time. The hosts provided a complimentary bottle of wine. The kitchen had everything and more to cook meals. I cannot think of one negative thing about the stay overall. I’ve never written a review for my stays, however, this one is an 11 on a scale of 1 to10."

Annual Girls Trip

Home and property were lovely. I unfortunately did not get to personally meet Dave and Barbara, but my friend that met them at the home to check in told us all how absolutely great they both were and so friendly. Most of our group traveled from Florida so the cold weather was such a nice treat as we all left 90+ temps. Home was large enough to accommodate 8 women full time, only draw back was we could have used more bathrooms lol, apparently we all take a long time to get ready. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.

Elegance on the lake

The house and gardens provided our entire family with a very special vacation. The view of the lake gave us inspiration as we started our days on Mille Lac Lake. The kitchen was stocked with every appliance imaginable with plenty of room for multiple cooks in the kitchen. The stairs to the primary suite with the “ultimate” bathroom could be a challenge for some. It would be difficult to book a more beautiful property.

Perfect multigenerational family vacation!

The property is amazing! We had 9 people ranging in age from 15-75. Teenage boys slept on air mattresses in carriage house (with bathroom) which allowed more space for the adults in main house. House grounds are beautiful and they have several outdoor games/activities good for all ages. Grocery store is 15 mins away and there is literally every kitchen item you would need or want. Not much around in terms of shops or restaurants but our plan was always to cook meals in the house. Randy’s rentals nearby to rent pontoon/jet skis. Owners were readily accessible and seemed truly invested in making it a great vacation experience for our family. Many thanks!

Perfect family getaway!

To say we enjoyed our time at Stone House is an understatement! Our family made good use of the dock and lakeside patios. The grounds were beautiful and extremely well kept. We enjoyed morning coffee, afternoon yard games (perfect yard for bocce!), and evening fires by the lake. The house was wonderful with plenty of room for our group of nine to spread out comfortably. We made several meals at the house and the kitchen had everything we could have asked for and more (panini maker, waffle maker, and pizza cooker to name a few). Dave and Barbara were gracious hosts and were quick to answer any questions we had. We called them the first day we were there to ask about outlet covers since we have a very active one year old granddaughter. A short time later they had us all taken care of. They truly have everything you could possibly need for a relaxing lake vacation. Pack light and enjoy! During our stay, we rented a boat from Our Boat Club down at Eddy’s, had great burgers and pizza from Bayview, and feasted on all you can eat walleye at Lonesome Pine. It was a perfect family vacation filled with memories we will always cherish. Thanks again, Dave and Barbara for your hospitality!

Amazing and unforgettable

Owners were very kind and easy to work with. The home and property were beautiful. I read a review about the mosquitoes on the deck being bad which made me nervous however we had no problems. We enjoyed family meals in the big kitchen dining area and on the patio. We played games and rented a pontoon.

Nice property in a great location.

The property is very private and in a good location. The kitchen and main living area has an open feel and was used most of the time. The upstairs bathroom / shower room was huge and a nice addition. The surrounding landscape was ideal for family pictures. The private dock, fire pit and lounge area was also used extensively. Thank you Dave and Barbara for the use of your property for our family get together!

LOVED!!

We loved our long weekend at Dave and Barbs! They were extremely accommodating and welcoming to us and our family. We had 10 adults stay at the house and everyone felt like they had enough room to enjoy the space. The kitchen is very large which made cooking and gathering together easy. We had beautiful weather so we spent most of our time outside. The patio on the water is amazing!! We loved eating dinner down on the water- bring lots of big spray! We also loved the fire pit down there. Highly recommend!

Not the perfect vacation house the pictures portray

Owners forgot they rented the place to us when we arrived. Had to wait at Casino down the street until 1am for them to clean and vacate property. As a result we could not even use property for the first day we paid for it. Pictures show a boat dock, but they won't let you tie anything up to it so don't plan on using it. The patio area around dock looks nice in pictures, but unless there is a 20 mph breeze, you won't be able to sit there because of the mosquitos. You also have to cross a county highway to get to it. The two bathrooms are in very inconvenient locations. One is in master bedroom up stairs that requires you to use spiral staircase only to access it. Other is in center part of house and not convenient for King bedroom in basement or close to room with multiple bed shown in photos.

We had a great time

We had 2 beautiful weather days near perfect, we spent time with family we had fires down at the lake, played games watched movies. Most of us stayed at the house the whole time, no one wanted to go anywhere else. We had enough to do right there. We were all related and only see Each other once a year so it was great to catch up. Great experience. Thank you

Stonehouse on Mille Lacs

It’s a beautiful property with everything you could need for family vacation. We rented a pontoon from Eddys (Your boat club) down the road & enjoyed time on the property playing provided yard games (badminton, corn hole, croquet, bocce ball, etc). Barbara & Dave were very helpful & responsive. Will definitely return!

Magical Lake House!!

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BOOK A STAY HERE!! We had the most wonderful stay!!! Dave and Barb were nothing short of lovely and extremely welcoming. When we pulled up with our four young children, they were so kind and went to dig out small baby cars, bikes, and toys out of storage for our stay! They felt like old friends, and were so hospitable. I almost didn’t want them to leave! We enjoyed four beautiful days of peace and stillness here, and it was magical. The sunsets and sunrises were spectacular, and we spent countless hours on the property as a family playing corn hole, bocce ball, basketball, and sitting on the dock in the evenings. We enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen, playing games around the table, and just taking a long pause from the busyness of life. This home truly has it all and served as a beautiful place for us to connect and make memories! Dave and Barb have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable! We will definitely be back! Thank you!!

2nd Year Staying at the StoneHouse

Beautiful place. Large and spacious for large families. So fun to be right on the lake. Stocked with anything and everything you could need. Owners are available if needed. Rented boats right up the road at Eddy's. Very few people use the lake for recreation during the weekdays. We had the whole thing to ourselves for tubing and fishing. They provide lots of fun yard games and lake toys. We added a few of our own to the collection!! Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds. Definitely a fun summer destination if you don't like crowded lakes.
