About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to Millie’s on Lake Madison, a quiet and peaceful family getaway!

Welcome to our family lake home we have nicknamed Millie’s on Lake Madison! We have made wonderful memories here over the years, and we hope you do as well. The cabin is lakefront with a covered patio overlooking the lake. This is a quiet place to connect with family and friends, go fishing, play board games, and relax. We have recently added a sandbox and tetherball to the property for even more outdoor fun! The property also has a fire pit, corn hole set, and propane grill.

A unique feature of the cabin is that we are located on a point, so you will see water from both the front and back of the property! The water is such a beautiful back drop for all outdoor activities.

You are welcome to bring your own boat and tie it to our dock. You can put your boat in the water at the public lake access just down the road at Johnson’s Point. Pontoon, kayak, and paddle boards may be available for rent through Hillside Resort. We are happy to share our beach towels and life jackets with you during your stay, but we encourage you to bring your own in case you need different sizes then what we have available.

Lake Madison is a great lake for swimming and fishing! Occasionally the lake may experience both high and low water levels as well as unexpected algae blooms. Thank you for understanding that the conditions of the lake are ever changing and often unpredictable. We may not have control of the weather or lake conditions, but we will do everything in our power to provide you with a 5 star stay!

We have a fire pit and outdoor propane grill available for your use. We hope your family will enjoy Millie’s outdoor amenities including a sandbox, tetherball, and corn hole set. We have many games, puzzles, DVDs, books, television streaming options and children’s toys available for indoor entertainment. The indoor fireplace is not in service. We have one video/audio security camera with recording capabilities that covers the back entrance and driveway of the property. The camera is on at all times. Tampering with the camera or internet connection is grounds for immediate termination of stay.

The cabin is less than 10 miles from the city of Madison which offers a grocery store, restaurants, a hardware store, and shopping! We are about 45 miles from Sioux Falls. If you decide to stay in and cook we have many kitchen amenities including a full size refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, pots and pans, air fryer, crock pot, drip coffee maker, and pizazz pizza oven but no dishwasher. We also have a washer and dryer for your use!

Millie’s on Lake Madison is just under 1,000 sq feet, 3 bedroom/5 beds and 1 bath. The most comfortable occupancy for the space would be 6 guests or less. We love pets but unfortunately we are unable to accommodate them at the cabin. Thank you for understanding! We are looking forward to hosting you for a relaxing and carefree getaway at Millie’s on Lake Madison!

Peaceful Lake House
My husband and I spent a couple of nights here to explore the area. We ate at two of the three lake restaurants, the Hillside and Broadwater, which were both excellent! This lake house was more than we needed as it has three bedrooms which would provide families with lots of sleeping space. There was a tv with a connected AppleTV but we didn’t utilize it. The nice covered patio had us sitting in the comfy chairs enjoying the peace and quiet of the lake. It was a place we would return to if ever in the area again. 😊

We stayed here while attending a graduation party of family. We enjoyed the fire pit, roasting sticks, almost surround view of the lake. It’s a very well stocked house. It was early so we didn’t get to swim but maybe next time!

Hidden Gem
My husband and I wanted a weekend away to relax with nature and this was perfect. So very happy we found this listing out of several in the tri-state area. Our 10yr old ended up coming at the last minute and he loved having so many different things to do. I loved just watching the water and birds in the morning and my husband spent a whole day fishing at his leisure. We played tether ball in the evening with our son and went on a few short trips to town. We all agreed we want to come back and hopefully our older two children can come with next time. We know they would love it as much as we did.

Perfect Location!
We stayed here for 5 nights and found it to be homey, private and comfortable. The outdoor space was amazing -- covered patio, plenty of seating, steps from the lake and great water views on both sides of the property. My husband, I and my mom stayed here and had family visiting during the day for cornhole, BBQs and campfires. Jennifer was very attentive and took care of a minor issues within minutes of our arrival. Also really cute dogs next door!

Great peaceful location on the Lake Madison
The location of this cute little cabin is a real plus. It is quiet and peaceful. There are wonderful cottonwoods, and it was delightful to get up early in the morning and sit under the covered patio watching the fish feed. It was a plus to have a dock so we could keep our boat and jet ski tied to it. It was easy to find and close to Madison. Parking was ample. The cabin is well stocked with all you need. Jennifer was awesome to work with. We will book again.

Great getaway!
This cozy cabin has all the amenities needed for a lake getaway! The property is located on a point which provides lake views from the front and the back. Our group enjoyed days on the water and nights by the campfire. The host, Jennifer, was great to work with. This was the perfect gathering spot for our weekend of family fun at the lake!

Quick, quiet weekend on small water’s edge property
Always nice to have more space than a hotel room to spend time with family. Enjoyed being on the water’s edge for coffee in the morning. In the area to attend a wedding so we didn’t have a lot of time at this humble property, but sleeping accommodations and kitchen served us well. Jennifer was very quick to respond to a couple questions we had!

Short getaway for swimming
This property was clean, and spacious and my children had a blast exploring and playing with the sandbox and tetherball. The hostess left toys and snacks for my kids! We were located a nice distance away from Sioux Falls where we went to do tourist stuff. The only downside, and this is no fault of our hostess, was the blue green algae that made swimming in our part of the lake impossible. I've been told this can change based on rain, wind, and time of year so it's just our misfortune. There were other lakes close by to swim at.

Great place to enjoy lake life!
Rented this cabin for a girls weekend and we were happy with our choice. Loved being right on the water and the covered patio is such a nice feature. This place is a great value over paying for a bigger, fancier cabin and we had everything we needed. Owner was great to work with. Would definitely rent this property again!
