About this property

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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The location was beautiful. The beach was shallow enough for the little ones to wade in the water. The Host was very helpful and quick at responding to questions. The house clean and well taken care of.

Family Fourth Getaway

We needed a place for our annual family 4th of July celebration. The beach and swimming was amazing! The yard allowed room for our annual family games. The house was supplied with everything we could possibiy need. The host was very responsive and extremely helpful when we had an issue with the dock. Definitely recommend staying here. The neighbors were friendly too!

Fun time, neat spot

shallow sandy beach with no rocks or weeds was awesome for kids. If you want a beach on a big lake that will make the waves tolerable for children, this is a great option.

Great young family getaway

This home worked very well for our young family getaway. Accessories for the children were available and the beach/water was shallow which made it easy for the children to play in and around the water.
