Beautiful property with so many things to do indoor and outdoors. We had such a great time with a family of 30. We will definitely be back. And Tammy was an awesome host, super responsive and such a nice lady.
Fantastic place for a family get together. Lots of space and activities for the 14 of us to do while there. Quiet location and host did a great job in preparing lodge for our visit.
Huge place equipped with everything including the volleyball net, playground and firepit. Secluded yet intimate for our family. Close to alot of amenities. We really enjoyed our stay there.
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.
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!
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!
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!
This is the third year that our family has stayed at A Place in the Woods (Mille Lacs Lodge). The lodge itself was roomy, clean, everything in good working order and perfect for our large, extended family. Also, the outdoor area has always been kept clean, mowed, no mosquitoes and expansive for many outdoor games. We had a few campfires with wood from the well-stocked wood pile and picnics under the shelter. And went swimming at the beautiful beach at Father Hennepin State Park in nearby Isle. A thoroughly enjoyable weekend!
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!
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!
