Beautiful view of Mille Lacs

Our family - mom, dad, teen - really enjoyed your stay at Eagle Sands. We went kayaking, swimming, exploring, and hiking around the area. The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed. I saw eagles, hummingbirds, butterflies, and even pelicans!

Relaxing getaway

We had a very relaxing stay and spent our one non-rainy day on the deck listening to the relaxing sound of waves. A great quiet place to unplug and unwind. They have a great book selection if you happen to forget one!

Peaceful doesn't suffice the serenity of this place. Quiet neighborhood, inviting and private sections of the house. It was more home than cabin. Little broods of duck families, and little chipmunks were entertaining. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

Early summer getaway

We had a nice time. I am a mom who had three teenagers with me. The house was very clean and everything was in working order. My teenagers loved splashing around on the “beach” and taking the kayaks outs. It really is shallow quite a ways out. This made floating very enjoyable. As mentioned in their description, if you are going for serious fishing plan to rent/bring a boat.
We enjoyed the Lilly Pad and floats

Great spot on Mille Lacs

Spectacular views of Mille Lacs! The deck on the boathouse is the star of this comfortable property. The kitchen is fully stocked and it was great to have 2 full bathrooms. Major road construction was inconvenient... but the discounted price per night reflected that issue. Thanks for the stay!

Phenomenal views and location

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is great, wonderful views of the lake. The home was stocked well, the towels were well above the norm, plenty of dishes and supplies in the kitchen. The deck and patio were awesome and gave us a great view to the lake as we relaxed. I highly recommend this spacious home .

Not a good property if you have young children or older adults. Getting from cabin to lake is steep steps or hill. Found mouse dropping and acorns in toy compartments in house and carbo monoxide detector was going off when we arrived. Was told it was fine nothing to worry about and to unplug the detector. That was a little concerning. Cabin is overall a decent setup and the beach is very nice. Upkeep of the yard and premises is lacking. Tall unmowed grass when we got there. Firepit is in front yard next to highway not in backyard by the lake which is not a ideal place to enjoy firepit. Swing set is old and not very sturdy. Overall is was ok place. Definitely not on our return list though.

Great Beach Area

Our family enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the beach and played for hours in the water. You could walk out for a long time and it was still shallow. It’s a great family rental. Very clean.

This house looks cozy right when you walk in and it keeps expanding leading to a back room with more bedrooms, den, and second bathroom + shower. It has everything you need to enjoy a wonderful, fun, and peaceful location.
