Memory lane
Enjoyed the one level home and walk out to the beach and dock. Kitchen is lovely and had the essentials. Was nice being close to city park for grandkids and there is a wonderful corner cafe within walking distance. Seating in living room could be improved but we made it work. We would definitely stay again.

Labor Day weekend getaway
Fantastic views and property to stay at! Comfort was excellent and amenities were top of the line. We had a great time reflecting on our stay as we sat around the fire star gazing and the kids loved swimming. Highly recommend if you want comfort and beauty around Mille Lacs Lake. Communication with property owners was superior. We would enjoy staying again.

Mille lacs lake vacation
For some reason the fishi g was not as expected, but we still had a nice time. Lakefrot rentals are the best! Lovely, clean home with all the toiletries you need. Upgraded appliances, granite countertops, and plenty of lawn furniture. Comfortable beds and spacious master bath.

Gorgeous Home on the water
Absolutely one of the most beautiful homes we’ve stayed in through VRBO. This home was immaculately clean, new and had everything we needed or didn’t need! The host was wonderful and helped tremendously when information was needed. I hope highly recommend this beautiful home 70 feet from the water!

Family Vacation
We loved our stay. The house fit all our needs and had everything we needed. Our boys loved fishing off the dock and having access to the boat. The close grocery store and public boat ramp was very nice and convenient.

Beautiful View!
We had a wonderful stay at this lake home. The view of the lake is outstanding! The home was one level which was definitely a plus. It had plenty of space for our family of 5. We saw lot of fireworks during our 4th of July stay. We even got to use their 2 kayaks and those were a lot of fun. It was also great using their private dock. Lots of beach towels for us to use as well. The location was perfect! I did a morning walk around Isle every morning. Cutest small town. We will definitely be back!
