Clean, remodeled beautiful home on the lake. Beautiful deck with nice deck chairs and awesome grill. Water toys such as mat, paddleboard, kayak etc. 5+ stars on this one!
This property has so much to offer and was the perfect location for a relaxing girls weekend. The property manager had great communication and made the renting process so easy!
Place looked like photos and kids enjoyed the games as well as the lake. During our stay, there was a little septic issue but Mike was very communicative and took care of the issue. We all enjoyed out stay. Looking forward to come back.
Property was exactly as advertised! We had a great time in the kayaks, paddle board, paddle boat and playing ping pong! Great little bay! House was super clean, well stocked with everything needed! Would definitely stay again!
This home has everything you need. We enjoyed using the outdoor toys and the inside games. The kitchen was well stocked, they even supplied paper towels and napkins. Plenty of room for the 6 of us.
We had a lovely stay on Mille Lacs and fully utilized all this property's amenities. The boys were out fishing every day on the paddle boat and we enjoyed sunset kayak trips around the cove. The deck was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view. The kitchen was extremely well stocked for us to fry fish, cook big breakfasts, and whip up sandwiches for on the go. We will definitely be back!
What a fabulous property!
So well equipped with lots of lovely touches. We enjoy cooking and the kitchen had everything we needed and great bbq.
The deck and outside equipment was great. Unfortunately weather wasn’t as good as we would have liked so didn’t get out on the lake much but enjoyed just sitting about in and around the house.
We would definitely come back if we are planning on staying at Mille Lacs again.
Starting from the booking to the checkout this was the place for a nice get away! The manager was responsive for all inquiries. The home was well maintained and had everything for amenities especially for one rainy day. The casino was just 4 minutes away with a nice golf course just 4 minutes away in the other direction. This may just become an annual stay for us with how relaxing and modern the home was. Thanks for the great time!
Everything was just as described. And more than enough to keep you entertained, games, ping pong, darts. Kitchen was amazing and well equipped, (so much so we came home an ordered the same toaster, so cool). Beds were very comfortable. It was very relaxing just enjoying the lake and wildlife from the deck. Mike was very responsive for our inquiries. Lake toys were used by everyone in the family. Nice restaurant and grocery store in the town of Garrison also.
We brought our family here for a short summer vacation. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the weather. We had a day of rain. The house was beautiful. Our grandchildren loved using the padellboard, paddle boat, and kiok. They now want to come back for a winter trip for ice fishing. Thanks for helping us to create some great family memories.
This property was perfect! The house was beautiful and completely allergy friendly which I appreciate! The dock was great for our boat. The kitchen was stocked. The gameroom was amazing. The outdoor space was perfect with a large deck, nice lawn, and firepits.The kayaks, paddleboard, and paddleboat were so much fun. The Wigwam bay was peaceful as was the neighborhood. The layout of the house was perfect. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Also the property management was prompt in all communication making it a wonderful experience!
The photos are accurate! Beautiful newly remodeled home with anything and everything you could possibly need. We all enjoyed the lake activities and always had something to do. Found the evenings relaxing and making S’mores over the firepits.
This home is absolutely beautiful and very tastefully decorated and stocked. I felt so much at home in this very well kept and amazingly CLEAN home! We had such a great week making life long memories for our family. Thank you!
This was a well maintained new property that was perfect for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed and everything was fairly new. Beds were comfortable. Firepit was great in the evenings. So many lake toys, a lily pad to float on, kayaks and stand up paddle board were very fun too. The basement has a game room with darts, ping pong and axe throwing which kept us busy. A bit remote from most towns nearby and right next to a motel. You do hear the noises from nearby road. It was an excellent relaxing stay and we would return.
Gorgeous home and very nice amenities. It had everything we needed and the paddle boat was an added plus. The weather didn’t cooperate the best, but we cant plan ahead for what Mother Nature will do.
We had the very best time on our stay at this beautiful property on Mille Lacs
The homeowners thought about every detail to guarantee a perfect stay.
From the lovely decor and chef's kitchen to the water toys and game room
We did it all.
The most amenities of any rental I have used.
Kathio State Park was a fun day trip
Garrison is a very cute town
Michael was an excellent contact.
We definitely will be coming back to this rental
Quick drive from the Twin Cities
5 stars no question
This property has more to offer than you even see in the listing.
There is everything here that you need and more.
In the kitchen: Gourmet Coffee, flavored creamers, tea, cups for any and every drink, seasonings, paper towels, tin foil and other items to cook and wrap food, quality cooking utensils and cookware. We felt right at home cooking in the gorgeous, well stocked kitchen.
There are big beach towels for everyone, a hammock with clips on back two trees in front of the lake, porch with chairs and loungers was immaculate and comfortable for the entire family at once with options to be in or out of the sun.
If you want to be a little more active, use the 2 person paddle boat, paddle board or kayaks, or get a water lounger or blow up for the lake to go out there and chill. Do not worry if you forgot your life vest, there is every size possible hanging up in the garage next to a durable plastic axe throwing game and corn hole game boards. If you have little ones, there is a plastic baby pool with lots of younger kid toys…even chalk.
By the garage door there is an umbrella (in case it rains), a sound machine in the master bedroom to help you sleep, laundry detergent to wash your clothes, shampoo and conditioner in both bathrooms, extra pillows, blankets and comforters, lots of family board games to play together.
Whoever put this property together has thought of every little detail to make your vacation great for every age person.
