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!

The lodge is gorgeous, very clean, and very well-stocked. The property is also gorgeous and nicely private, with plenty of outdoor toys to keep the kids (and adults) entertained. The owner was super helpful and responsive. We were already talking about going back next year before we left!

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!

Annual Family Summer Vacation Year 7
Exceptional family vacation in Minnesota. Everyone was thrilled with their time spent at Tammy's Millie Lac Lodge. A kitchen that has it all with a cooler that holds anything you need to keep cool and a freezer that let us get all the Ice Cream the Grandchildren could eat. So much fun! Campfires every night, a playground and outdoor shelter with plenty of room for fun meals outside. No insect bites was a huge accomplishment and we will brag about that for years to come. (There is a magic at Millie Lac Lodge that will always be in our hearts and memories. Grandpa loved his vacation and was given the opportunity to enjoy 12 wonderful Grandchildren and family from five states.

Tammy is great
Tammy was really great, the property was as represented, clean, affordable for what we experience and truly a pleasure to check out. Everything you need for a large group was present as well as a lot of fun games. We did clean up a bit but left a few messes, Tammy did it charge us an additional fee or part of deposit, very appreciative of that. Mille Lacs lake is an amazing place, the property had a cool deer stand/ clay shooting area, wish we knew we could have shot at the property, will probably be back to do so at some point if able. Thanks for everything Tammy!
