Lakefront property with large yard and beach/dock to enjoy located right across the street. Right up the road is the public boat launch/lake access. This home is minutes away from the town of Garrison with several eating options, a gas station, ice cream shop and more. Grand Casino Mille Lacs is a short 7 miles away. Guests also enjoy the local state parks and other recreational activities.

There is plenty of space to park trucks, boats, and all the toys. FYI, Uber/Lyft is not often available; be prepared with alternate routes of transportation.

The driveway is shared with the property next door. Guests may park anywhere along driveway or yard, but we ask that you keep vehicles on one-side (closest to the home).

Summer: Enjoy the beach front and dock right across the street, but please be careful when crossing the busy road. Boats, jet skis, kayaks and canoes are not provided, but feel free to bring your own as there is a public access point right up the road. Don't have your own watercraft? Check out the various rental companies nearby!
**In Northern Minnesota, Mayflies are known to appear near lakes approximately 1-2 times a year. Unfortunately, we can't predict when this may happen.

Fall: The lakefront and dock will be available as long as weather permits. ATV's, bikes and more; Bring your outdoor gear and checkout the nearby trails and surrounding areas. Looking for another outdoor activity? Bring your hiking boots to explore the state parks nearby.
**Most of the Minnesota bugs are no longer around, however you may want to check for ticks if you are in grassy or wooded areas.**

Winter: Lake Mille Lacs is a fantastic place for ice fishing! Bring your own gear or rent supplies nearby. Enjoy the winter but not into fishing? Bring your snowmobiles, snowshoes or other snow gear! This property and surrounding area offer plenty of options for all kinds of activities.

Deer camp upgrade
This was a really nice upgrade from our typical deer camp. There were plenty of beds and space for a group of hunters.

Cozy Lake Retreat
The kitchen was well stocked with necessary utensils for in cabin cooking. Two refrigerators was great. It was within reasonable driving distance for excellent dinning and unique shops. The lighting in the living needs improvement as it was pretty dim if you wanted to read.

Everything was great. The only setback is the noise from traffic. They have a milllion dollar view.

May Mille Lacs stay
The house was super clean and had all the essentials anyone would ever need. It was decorated very cute. Dan (the host) was always available for questions through email which was very impressive. It was a perfect getaway minus the mayflies. We do not recommend vacationing while they are there. Which of course is completely out of the owners control. We had a great time otherwise.

Cozy Place
It is a nice cozy cabin that fits 10 people easily. We rented the place for our son and his friends to celebrate our son's 16th birthday. The boys had a blast. They had fun playing volleyball, walking on the frozen lake, playing games. Thank you for hosting!
