Perfect place to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary.
Very peaceful area & adorable cabin. We enjoyed coffee on the dock, paddle boating, kayaking, fishing, listening to the Loons & watching the Eagles. We found the Eagle's nest. At the end of our adventurous days we relaxed around the fire.

Great stay!
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was perfect. My husband used the paddle pontoon every morning to fish. Rick helped us make a fire one night that was great. We sat on the rockers at the end of the dock each day just enjoying the lake. It was truly a cozy and comfortable cabin. It was easy to find and close to things to do. Rick and Cindy are very nice and have a lovely place. Thank you for a great stay.

Peaceful fishing spot
This place was beautiful. So much shade! Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the views of the lake or fish from the dock. Paddle pontoon was so fun. Loons and eagles were cool to watch. Bass fishing was great. Caught several pike and lots of sun fish. Hosts were super nice! Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet fishing spot or a peaceful place to relax and read a book. Word of advice though: bring mosquito repellant! If you make sure & wear it you'll be fine but if you forget it they can be bad.

We enjoyed our Mom/Sister extended weekend getaway. We caught lots of fish paddling around the lake on the peddle pontoon. This was also a great location close to our favorite shops in Nisswa and Brainerd. Rick and Cindy are great hosts and have a beautifully maintained property.

A Time-Out in Lake Country, Minnesota!
3 hrs away from the hustle and bustle of the cities and their bedroom communities, we enjoyed a tranquil week at this jewel of a lake cottage! This served as our base of operations for forays to Brainerd, Baxter, Crow Wing State Park, Crosby, Garrison/Lake Mille Lacs and to Lake Itasca for a view of the headwaters of the Mississippi River. We rode bicycles on the Paul Bunyan State Trail! We sat in the rocking chairs our hosts, Rick & Cindy had so thoughtfully put on the dock! We soaked up the sun, fished/caught fish, saw otters swim by the dock, watched a hawk/osprey catch a fish from the lake, and listened to acorns fall from the oak trees and used the host's paddle pontoon for a short float on the lake. The cottage was charming, tidy and comfortable. There was a well-outfitted kitchen, a great hot shower, picture windows for picturesque views of the lake and a wood stove with wood to heat the cottage! We like woodstoves and campfire! It reminded us of some camps and cottages we've stayed at in the U.P. of Michigan, the Snowies of Wyoming, and Missouri's Ozarks! Places where you could get back in touch with Nature and back in touch with family and self! Thanks again to our hosts for sharing this oasis with us! We would like to return and bring our grandson with us next time!

Amazing and Quiet
The photos do not do this property justice. This property is exceptionally well-kept and stocked with everything you need. The cabin sits on an incredibly clean private lake with some great fishing. The owner is super friendly. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing lake-side cabin 10 minutes from a grocery store and a bait shop, this is it. Great family room, two nice bedrooms with closets and dressers, kitchen stocked with everything you need, and a new, clean bathroom. I can't believe we were so lucky to be able to enjoy this property for a week. Incredible.

A little piece of paradise
Fun family vacation. Cabin fit our family of 5 perfectly. Fishing was good, our girls loved fishing off the dock and swimming. Our son enjoyed taking the kayak out to fish the rest of the lake. Water was nice, warm and clean. Great shallow swimming off the dock for our kids. Thank you Taplins' for a great stay!

Great lil place
Nice, clean place, right on the lake! The cabin has everything you need! Clean lake with clear water and great fishing! The pontoon paddle boat was fun to take out on the lake too. Had a nice quiet vacation with my hubby! Only thing was, the dog across the lake, barking for 2hrs, everyday. It's so quiet on the water, so the barking just echos throughout the area. That's not the owners fault, and the rest of the time was very peaceful. Definitely recommend!

Was a great stay!
We had lots of fun! It was a little disconcerting to realize the owners residence was right next to the cabin, but they weren't there for the majority of our stay so we still enjoyed our privacy. The lake was beautiful, and the fishing was a blast! There are the most adorable Chipmunks in the immediate area too, we really enjoyed coming out in the morning and watching them forage all over.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Taplin

Host profile image
Hi! We are Rick & Cindy Taplin. We have owned the property since 1996. We have recently retired and our home is next door to the guest cabin. We love it up here and hope you enjoy your time here as well! We have 2 grown children, 2 grandsons and 2 granddaughters--who we love to visit in the Twin Cities. Rick is an avid runner and I enjoy pickleball. We also enjoy gardening, fishing, spending time on the lake and bonfires with friends. Please join us!

Why they chose this property

Miller Lake is a quiet, private lake since there is no public access. The water is very clear and you can catch panfish right off the dock or from the paddleboat. At night you can fall asleep listening to the loons and owls. It's an easy drive from the Twin Cities but has an 'up north' woodsy feel.

What makes this property unique

The cabin and landscaped yard are clean and well kept. It is easily accessible to grocery stores etc and attractions around Brainerd.
