Fall Fishing Trip
The place was perfect for our fishing trip. Four guys in there 40s need a nice bed and comfortable place to sit after fishing for hours and hours. Parking was great for parking boats. This is also a very family freindly place

Mille Lacs Lake
The cabin (more like a house actually) is beautiful, fresh looking and exactly matches the photos and description in the listing. The owner answered all my inquiries promptly, Ashleigh was great to deal with. The large windows provide an expansive view of the lake. The cabin is large enough to comfortably fit a good sized group. The only downside is that the dock is not well suited to tie up a boat. It's too high above the water and doesn't have provisions for protecting the boat when moored. The water is also very shallow near shore, although that makes it nice for water play. I still rate this cabin 5/5 based on all the other great attributes.

Perfect Lake Side Place
Stayed here with my parents for their 60th anniversary. They loved it! Lovely place, great view. Perfect for my aging parents to be on one level and sit outside. Quiet area, well maintained and very comfortable.

Great place for a get away and loads of fun
Terrific communication with the hosts. They answered most of our questions before we even needed to ask; and were quick to respond to anything we inquired about. Common areas were wonderfully appointed to accommodate our group of 6 - either lounging on the couches or sitting around the tables. Kitchen and pantry were supplied with everything we needed and more. Gaming area in the garage was wonderful for times when weather wasn't ideal or when we wanted to stay up later without being too loud for the neighbors. If you want to get in the water near the dock, suggest you bring water shoes - it's rocky and slippery but surprisingly not very weedy. Having access to the lily pad was great for floating.

Wonderful week for multi-state extended family
A huge family reunion nearby brought us to the area. Very clean, enough space and bathrooms for everyone. The game room and patio were big hits. The view of Lake Mille Lacs was beautiful. The property has a long driveway off a main road, which limited long walks for us. Our host was always available and helpful.

Great weekend on the lake
We had a great time staying at the cabin. The cabin is very clean and Ashleigh did a fantastic job communicating ahead of time. It worked out great for our two families with one family staying upstairs and the other in the primary bedroom on the main level. We were planning on bringing our boat, but decided not to due to the weather. I'm not sure if the water level in the summer is typically as low as it is in October, but there would have been challenges in docking the boat overnight at the dock. The house is well equipped for kids with child-size plates, cups, silverware, toys and streaming services. For dinner, Ashleigh recommended Block North Brew Pub and it did not disappoint. We hope to be back soon!

Beautiful & peaceful
We wanted to be together as a family and remember our daughter. This place had beautiful windows for a spectacular view of the lake. There was an awning that we were able to put out when it rained so we could play cards and still enjoy the outside. Watching the sunset on the dock was so peaceful viewing God’s beauty. Ashleigh was amazing to work with throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend this Vrbo!

Spring Break
Property was great, Ashleigh was great at communicating with us whenever we had questions. We loved that we were able to light a fire every night. Another big plus and one reason we chose this property over others is we were allowed to bring our pet with us. .Lastly didn't know we needed it until we were there but being able to use the garage was great.

Beautiful cabin with a view!
The cabin was a nice mix of modern and rustic with a great amount of space. The wall facing the lake has an amazing view of it, with plenty of light to illuminate the space! We're a group of friends that likes to get away for the weekend to play board games and catch up, and it was the perfect local for it. I would definitely book here again.
