The Mille Lacs Lodge is such a gem! It has everything you could possibly need and is the perfect group getaway whether you are looking for a quick weekend trip or an extended stay. The lodge has the warm, cozy feel of a northwoods cabin yet has plenty of space to comfortably entertain large groups. It is also a great place to enjoy the quiet serenity of nature with state parks, wildlife management areas, and Mille Lacs Lake just down the road. The host is so welcoming and accommodating. She really goes above and beyond for her guests. We will definitely be staying here again!
Our family has been renting this lodge, for a large family gathering, for a weekend every August for over 20 years.
Rooms are very nice. Bed is comfortable. Very spacios. Beautiful place. Remote location. Feel safe.
Excellent location for lodging. Extremely roomy, and a very nice size kitchen for cooking. Highly reccomend!
Exceptional, homey place for a weekend away with friends or family, or a hobbyist retreat. Perfect balance of modern facilities and cabin accoutrements; well-equipped kitchen with professional appliances; beautiful outdoor spaces. Friendly and helpful owners are a phone call away to resolve any issues. Can't recommend it highly enough.
A bit spendy, but if you fill the beds, then not so bad!! Please get a higher and more shallow sink to wash dishes. I am 5'4" and it broke my back to lean over to wash dishes for the 8 of us.
This place is heaven! We gather our friends and family for a Craft weekend every year. We've already booked 2022! This place is always clean and we love the kitchen and fireplace. The owner is an absolute sweetheart! You won't be disappointed....
We absolutely loved this lodge! We have stayed here in the past and came back because such great memories were made. Tammy is an awesome host. We will be coming back in the future!
