This place is right on the lake and has a great yard in between the house and the water for yard games and hanging out at the fire pit. There's a nice dock and it looked like there was good fishing areas right nearby (mother nature, unfortunately, prevented us from confirming that!). The kitchen is well-equipped with updated appliances and the beds are comfortable. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate. This place would be good for a family with kids or just a group of friends getting together. Highly recommend!

The pictures don't do the property justice. It was way prettier than the pictures show. Appreciated the location and the proximity to the water. Plus, for those of us that still love to cook on vacation, the gas range was a plus. It was awesome that we could rent a boat and then dock it to cook some lunch and take a nap. If there was anything I could improve, it would be to put up some sort of curtain or blinds on the window in the living room to block view to the rental cabins next door. Also, in other VRBO rentals, they have a binder of things to visit/see in the area. We were able to find some cool stuff, like the safari, but it would have been great if there was some information about the area available. If we were to vacation again in Minnesota, we would definitely rent this again.

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.

Great family lake home

Great front porch and yard. Loved using the kayaks. The kids loved swimming and searching for rocks at the shore. Wonderful kitchen with lots of cookware and dishes and great family room for hanging out in the evenings. We rented a pontoon just a few blocks down the road and had a great time out on the lake. We will be back!

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!
