Great VRBO
We had a very nice stay. The houses were well kept and updated. The owners communicated exceptionally with us about any questions we had prior to our stay. I am a first time VRBO user and found the process went very well. The kids enjoyed having the cornhole game to use so that was a great surprise Lots of room to play outside Hwy 169 was very busy and hard to get across to the lake but we did not go swimming anyway. Not sure how deep that area is? Would recommend this VRBO!

We had a great stay!
We came here with our late teen children and a friend for a getaway before school starts. This was a great place! My husband and I stayed in the cottage and they stayed in the main cabin. There was plenty of space and it was very clean. I loved the front porch too with the lake view and screens to open. We played cornhole and made a bonfire in the backyard with plenty of space for our dog to run around. We would love to come back again, possibly in the winter for a different experience!

It was ok
Overall it was ok. Outside was very dirty on the doors and windows - main house was very clean and beautiful- enough room for our girls weekend, guest house had AC issues, and power tripping issues, smelt very musty - the stairs going into the houses unsteady for the elderly. Nice they had games for outside and camping chairs

Very nice house(s) - great place to stay
My wife, dog, and I had a wonderful time here. The inside is spotless, and extremely new. We didn't need the second house, but it looks quite nice as well. Everything is well coordinated and decorated and it had everything we needed. Super easy to check in and check out. We spent some time at the casino, and taking walks with the dog. The only thing to watch out for (and this is mentioned in the description ) are the bugs. The mayflies, mosquitoes and ticks can be a lot if you're not prepared for them. Not a problem with the house or property though - it's just the time of year. We really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing View
The cabins are absolutely wonderful. We picked the area so we could have the alone time. Everything you need is just 30 min away if you need to restock. Its clean and quiet. It was ladybug season but didnt bother us at all. Good beds and plenty of room to gather. We will stay again.

Mid winter getaway
My friends and I really enjoyed our time here! It was clean when we arrived and super comfortable. There is plenty of room for sleeping and hanging out. Both the main house and guest house have a full kitchen, two bedrooms, and a living room. There was great communication from the owner. We would love to go back someday! I feel good recommending this property.

Thanks Dan for allowing us to stay at your amazing property right near Mille Lacs Lake. The ice fishing was amazing and my son got to catch his first bunch of walleye on hard water.
