Excellent place if you're looking for a Mille Lacs getaway with a large group. Tons of on-property amenities, mostly level walkout to a private dock, fantastic firepit and cabana (large table to socialize.) We had 6 people from ages 14-76, and all of us loved it! TJ is an excellent host, very good communicator and can help with anything you need. Highly recommended, book it now before it fills up!

I would give this a 20 star rating if I could! We had three families: six adults and four kids under six. Plenty of room inside and shaded outside to enjoy our time there. We had the hottest days of the year so far at 95 plus! We were so thankful for AC in the bedrooms! And because we had a welcome basket with s’more makings, we had a bonfire when the temp dropped to 92 TJ was so helpful in answering all my questions before and after we arrived. We brought our pontoon and fishing boat so did lots of swimming and fishing. Plenty of room for both on the dock. We also brought a water table for the kids which they enjoyed in the large shaded yard. Everything you need is provided—just bring your toothbrush and have fun! Thanks for a memorable vacation TJ!
