Perfect for cousins weekend

We stayed here with our adult cousins for the weekend. The place was perfect for everyone to hang out and enjoy games inside and in the yard. Tammy went above and beyond to make the stay incredible. There were even more games and amenities than listed and we had an amazing time!

Second Stay, Family Reunion

This was our family's second time to stay at this property. We had a fabulous time. The kitchen area makes meal prep a breeze for a large group and the outdoor grounds gave us plenty of space to play yard games and volleyball. Great way to spend a long weekend!

Home away from home.

We were very happy with our stay. The property had everything we needed. It was clean and spacious. There was a gas station near by if we ever ran out of anything, and state parks were close too for out door activities. Really recommend this property to others.

Amazing family stay

Our family had a blast during our stay at Mille Lacs Lodge! The kids and adults all enjoyed the spacious lodge and outdoor areas. Memories were made making s’mores around the campfire, playing volleyball, cooking meals together in the kitchen, and playing wiffleball in the large outdoor space. Tammy (the owner) was very responsive to all of our questions and quick to provide help when needed. We loved our time there and highly recommend it!

Wonderful Place!!

This place is perfect for a large group stay! Plenty of room to sleep! And lots of bathrooms so there's no waiting. It was so clean and we had everything we needed there, and lots of yard for any games. Tammy is wonderful to work with! I also loved that they had cute merchandise to purchase there, it was a great touch! Definitely recommend this Cabin in the Woods!

Low key weekend

The accommodations and layout of the property were perfect for a bunch of friends to hang out. The industrial kitchen was stocked with pots and pans, utensils, and plenty of dishware. It was nice to walk around the property, play yard games, and sit around the fire. All-in-all it was just what we needed for a low key but fun weekend.

Serene, spacious, and relaxing lodge

We booked a last minute stay here and are so glad we did. It's a gem and the pictures don't do it any justice. Tons of space for the kids to run around both inside and out. Love the spacious kitchen and it's so nicely stocked. We'll definitely share this place with everyone we know and can't wait to be back. Tammy was also a gracious host! Thanks for sharing your beautiful lodge with our family.

Annual gathering

Awesome property, the pictures don’t show how truly beautiful and well appointed this place is. Been trying different spots for our gathering for years and think we have found our new home. Really nice bedding/towels and furniture made it feel like home. Everything you could need for cooking and cleaning and dining provided. Seriously the best place we have found. Thanks Tammy !

Great for Groups

The lodge was a great place for our group of 14. It is very spacious and nicely appointed. Everything was very clean and there were a lot of unexpected little extras that added to our stay. The layout is nice with different gathering areas throughout and we appreciated the main level bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. We loved the commercial kitchen, the firepit and the volleyball setup. Everyone had a lovely weekend and I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a group getaway. Thanks, Tammy!
