Mille Lacs sugar sand retreat

Great place to get away. Our family cabin has been fully updated to meet the needs of our guests and family. Main floor is a open floor plan with beautiful views of lake and awesome screened in porch with fire table. Basement is setup with two bedrooms and four beds with a walkout to the lake. Every room has great views to the lake and home has a wrap around deck with plenty of space to enjoy. Our shoreline is as nice as they come on Mille Lacs- great swimming and gradual slope with no weeds or rocks. Great place to have a winter get away! Snowmobile right from the front yard-miles of trails off or on the lake. Pull the portable fish House out to a premier Minnesota lake. If you chose to explore the area, or just hang out and relax, you won't be disappointed.

Girl’s Weekend Getaway
Absolutely amazing. Would stay here again hands down! We saw 2 families of geese and 2 bald eagles right off the deck! Beautiful scenery, quiet and relaxing. I wish 4.75 was an option for overall rating, the reason I didn’t give a 5 star rating is only because a set of stairs down to the lake would really be ideal.. it’s quite the hill when carrying chairs up and down with the sand. Other than that 5 out of 5!! Thank you so much!

I would love to thank the owner for the opportunity to stay at there home. Looking forward to staying there again next year. The scenic view and sound of the waves coming into shore is what makes vacations like ours awesome.

Perfect Cabin Weekend!
My partner and I absolutely loved our stay. The house is organized and very clean. It is stocked with everything you could ever need (cooking supplies, towels, games). We both loved to sit out on the dock, listen to the lapping water, and watch the sunset. I did not notice any weeds in the lake and the sandy beach is nicely kept making it a great swimming spot. Even though the neighbors were home during our stay, the property still felt private. We had such a wonderful stay and highly recommend!

Great family stay for relaxing and swimming.
A sandy beach and shallow water near shore were great for swimming and playing with our small children. The home was nicely equipped for guests, with many amenities for relaxing and enjoying the water. Our midweek visit was quiet, and sheltering trees lined most of the property for a nice private stay. We stayed in and made use of the clean kitchen and laundry facilities.

Beautiful Vacation Home
Beautiful sandy beach with shallow water was perfect for three year old grandkids. The screened porch with propane fire pit was great for chatting and playing games. The living/dining area was spacious, and the kitchen was well appointed, with everything you would want for making meals. There was a small problem with the upstairs toilet, and the owners had it taken care of within hours. Overall, we would definitely rent again!

Great Beach Vacation Right Here in Minnesota!
This is a great place to experience a beach vacation without having to get on an airplane! We had a great time swimming, kayaking, catching minnows and watching the baby ducks. The screened in porch was fabulous! Thank you for everything - we really enjoyed our time!

Perfect spot for peace and quite
This property has great views of the lake. The house seems to be very new and is in perfect shape inside and out. We had access to everything we could think of. The owners are very generous and welcoming. The beach has great sand and swimming would be ideal for small kids since the lake is knee deep 40 feet out and you could wade forever. I would stay again.

Great Views and Location on Lake Mille Lacs
My wife and I stayed here with our son, daughter, and son-in-law. There was plenty of space for us all to sleep. The house was stocked with all the things we could need. The air conditioning was very nice on the hot days. We also loved the outdoor screened in space to listen to the waves without worrying about bugs. The views are very private and was nice to see out the great big windows. We would stay here again in the spring or fall and hopefully have better luck fishing at that time. Overall it was a great place to spend the week together. Communication with the hosts was also great. Thanks for sharing your house with us!

The home was very well stocked and i can’t think of one thing it didn’t have that we needed. The beach area was very nice and we enjoyed some swim time. Overall the house was very comfortable. My only suggestion would be maybe a new mattress in the single bed, bedroom. We had one mishap and the owner was very understanding and worked with us on getting the problem taken care of. I would stay again, just not let my significant other bring his boat or back it up 😂
