After touring numerous properties, we knew this one was something special because it had everything we were looking for:
1) Close Proximity to Minneapolis – Just 90 minutes via Highway 169, it’s an easy and scenic drive to the southernmost bay of Mille Lacs Lake, making weekend getaways effortless.
2) Plenty of Space for Family & Friends – With 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and over 2,500 square feet, this home comfortably sleeps 16 guests without feeling cramped.
3) A Fantastic Swimming Area – Our kids' favorite feature! The shallow, crystal-clear water and gently sloping beach (a mix of sand and gravel) make it an ideal spot for swimming and wading.
4) A Spacious & Private Yard – 2 acres of peaceful seclusion with level elevation, perfect for outdoor games, campfires, and simply unwinding.
5) World-Class Fishing – While fishing wasn’t the #1 priority on our wish list, we’re thrilled that this lake offers some of the best fishing in Minnesota! From walleye and smallmouth bass to muskie and jumbo perch, Mille Lacs has trophy potential—we’ve personally caught and released walleye up to 29 inches, smallmouth up to 21 inches, muskie up to 52 inches, and northern pike up to 39 inches!
If these features match what you’re looking for in a perfect vacation rental, we’d love to host you and your family at our Lakeside Retreat on Cove Bay. We can’t wait for you to experience the same joy and relaxation that this special place has brought to us!
