Candi- Thank you very much for staying with us at our cabin on Lake Mille Lacs. Your 5 star review is greatly appreciated as work hard to provide a spacious retreat for folks to enjoy. I am so glad that your group had a fantastic stay. Please let us know if you would like to stay with us next Spring! TJ Mattson
The cabin was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed and the room layout worked well for our family. TJ was very responsive with questions and left us ingredients to make s'mores, which was a nice treat! The cabin has boat access to the lake through a channel. I'm guessing you would have to go to a beach area if you wanted to swim or float though.

Mari-Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for choosing our Lake Mille Lacs cabin for your family getaway! We’re very happy to hear that you found the cabin clean, comfortable, and well-suited for your family. It’s especially nice to hear that the room layout worked well and that you had everything you needed for a relaxing stay.
We’re glad the little s’mores surprise was a hit! We love adding those small touches that hopefully make a stay feel a little more special and give families another reason to gather around the fire.
Thank you as well for mentioning the lake access. The channel provides convenient boat access to Mille Lacs, while the nearby beach areas are a great option for swimming and enjoying the water from shore.
It was a pleasure having you as our guests, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We hope you’ll come back and enjoy another stay with us on beautiful Lake Mille Lacs! TJ Mattson
This property comfortably accommodated our family of ten. The gazebo was a great space for puzzles and there was a good supply of indoor games.

Thank you very much for staying with us! It sounds like you had a great trip, found some fish and enjoyed your stay. I'm glad the cabin had everything your group needed. Chat next year! TJ
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!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear you and your friends had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the beautiful weather (and the great local food spots!). You were fantastic guests, and we truly appreciate how well you cared for the cabin. We’d love to welcome you back next year for another peaceful getaway on Mille Lacs! TJ Mattson
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!

Thank you so much for the incredible review! We’re truly grateful that you chose our cabin for your family vacation, and your “20-star rating” comment absolutely made our day!
It sounds like your three families made the most of the property, from swimming and fishing to relaxing in the large shaded yard and enjoying some well-earned time around the bonfire. We’re especially glad the air conditioning helped during those hot 95° days, and that the welcome basket s’mores provided a little extra motivation to enjoy a fire once the temperatures finally dropped!
We also really appreciate your kind words about our communication. We want our guests to feel comfortable reaching out with questions before and during their stay, so that means a lot to us.
Thank you again for staying with us and for making so many great memories at the cabin. We’re grateful to have been a small part of your vacation and would love to welcome all three families back again
Communicated was very good and fast reply’s. We enjoyed the large seating area and open concept. We greatly enjoyed our stay.
