Great access for swimming, kayaking and sitting on the patio enjoying the view of the lake. Close access to boat landing, town and fun activities for the family. I would recommend this stay to anyone.
We enjoyed our stay, it was nice to have spices to cook with. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner everyday in front of the picture window overlooking the lake. Located walking distance to the grocery and diner. Host was helpful and checked on us via text mid stay.
This is a beautiful lake house & my family enjoyed our stay. The location was great with the state park & golf course nearby and we were able to do some boating before the rain started.
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.
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.
My family and I stayed here for a little vacation recently and had the best stay! Shannon and John were great at communicating whenever we needed anything! They have everything you could need for your stay. Beautiful home and backyard to enjoy, with kayaks and beautiful view, and a nice place to have a fire. Overall a great stay and definitely would recommend!!
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!
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.
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.
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!
We had a delightful stay at Shannon and John’s house. The house was impeccably clean and comfortable. The view of the lake from the kitchen was very beautiful. Shannon and John were very responsive and helpful hosts. We would love to stay again one day!
Great lakefront property that has everything you need! Host was very responsive and knowledgeable on things to do/see if the area. Check in/out was very simple. Highly recommend!
Nice new lake house worked out perfect for our needs. Can't wait to come back. Caught fish right off thr dock. Beautiful sunsets on a quiet part of a huge lake. Even had some northern lights and a balb eagle visited several times.
Great property for a family, small beach with shallow water for kids to play in, nice dock to bring a boat up to. House was clean, well maintained. Property manager was GREAT! Quick responses with any questions we had.
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!
Really nice home! Very responsive hosts, too. Our only issue was our daughter is in a wheelchair and the outside entrances are not zero entry. So we had to muscle her up the step/threshold to get inside. Once inside though, the home was great for a wheelchair. It has a roomy Master shower that accommodated her bath chair nicely.
