Beautiful cabin on Miller Lake! Cabin is cozy and comfortable for 5. It has all the essentials. The lake view and trees are beautiful. Very peaceful and quiet. We spent time boating, fishing, grilling, shopping, relaxing, and going for walks. There is also a great bonfire pit down by the lake. The hosts are welcoming and responsive. We would definitely recommend to anyone and would love to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay at Miller Lake. Rick and Cindy had great communication, were knowledgeable about the area and we appreciated their help answering any questions we had. The cabin was cozy, close to the lake and had everything we needed. We spent the majority of our time on the lake fishing. We caught nice bass, pike, blue gill, and some crappie. We would love to come back! What a wonderful place to stay with our family.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Taplin

Host profile image

Hi! We are Rick & Cindy Taplin. We have owned the property since 1996. We have recently retired and our home is next door to the guest cabin. We love it up here and hope you enjoy your time here as well! We have 2 grown children, 2 grandsons and 2 granddaughters--who we love to visit in the Twin Cities. Rick is an avid runner and I enjoy pickleball. We also enjoy gardening, fishing, spending time on the lake and bonfires with friends. Please join us!

Why they chose this property

Miller Lake is a quiet, private lake since there is no public access. The water is very clear and you can catch panfish right off the dock or from the paddleboat. At night you can fall asleep listening to the loons and owls. It's an easy drive from the Twin Cities but has an 'up north' woodsy feel.

What makes this property unique

The cabin and landscaped yard are clean and well kept. It is easily accessible to grocery stores etc and attractions around Brainerd.
