Large Family/Friendly Retreat: Two Cozy Cabins with Game Room!

Escape to the perfect retreat where families and friends can come together to create lasting memories! These cabins are 4 minutes from the tranquil shores of Mille Lacs Lake. With plenty of parking space, you can easily bring your boat, trailer, or extra vehicles for all your adventures. This unique property features two cozy cabins connected by a breezeway, offering plenty of space for multiple families to enjoy quality time together.

The breezeway doubles as a fun-filled game room, perfect for both kids and adults to enjoy. During the summer months, relax on the deck or in the yard while watching golfers pass by, adding a touch of charm to your stay.

The fully equipped kitchen is ready for your culinary adventures, stocked with everything you need—from linens to a trusty spatula for flipping those perfect scrambled eggs in the morning.

Every room in this cabin features a TV, so you can unwind with your favorite shows after a day of exploring. Complimentary Wi-Fi ensures you stay connected, or you can disconnect and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of this charming retreat.

The cabin is fully equipped for a comfortable stay. Enjoy year-round comfort with air conditioning and heating, fresh linens for all bedrooms, towels and basic soaps for the bathroom, and an iron and board for your convenience.

Overlooking the 15th fairway of Northwood Hills Golf Course, the cabin is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts. Fishing fans will love being just 2 miles from a fishing and boat launch. Mille Lacs Lake is a renowned destination for walleye and musky fishing, with rental boat slips and winter ice fishing houses available for year-round fun.

For those seeking more excitement, Grand Casino Mille Lacs is only 5 minutes away, offering nightlife, dining, a movie theater, and a fascinating Ojibwe museum. Family-friendly attractions like Paul Bunyan Amusement Park (15 minutes) and Safari North Wildlife Park (30 miles) provide fun for all ages. Don’t miss Kathio State Park, where you’ll find hiking trails, a swimming beach, and year-round outdoor activities. Snowmobile and four-wheel trails are also nearby for the thrill-seekers in your group.

Weekend Getaway

Great place to stay for a weekend with friends, lots of places to sleep and relax! Just know, there is a code for the door, not a physical key as noted in the check in instructions, which you’ll have to ask the hosts for. Easy enough once we got that figured out and it was a great weekend!

Great weekend away

Property was exactly as advertised. As a bonus it was nicely appointed, no shortage of towels, dishes/cups/silverware/etc. Everything was clean, appliances/HVAC/grill all worked properly. We gave the pizza oven a proper workout. The wifi wasn't great, but I would definitely stay at this property again.

Garrison Bachelor Party

The property was very clean as was the inside of the cabin. We had a group of 10 guys up for a bachelor party and the cabin accommodated this amount of people very well. Everyone was able to have there own bed and being on the golf course was great. The shuttle service in this area was also very beneficial and overall we all had a great time.

Wedding Weekend

Overall, the house is great and we had a good time. Just a few items to comment on. The fairway is a great place to lay on the ground to look at the stars and the covered decks were very nice. The kitchen could use some extra lighting in the corner by the cabinets and sink for when you are cooking and doing dishes. Didn't affect us much since we only made breakfast and no dinners. The bedroom with the bunk beds is also a little dark and could use some more lighting. Though, it was nice to have the sink and dresser with mirror in that bedroom to get ready. The doors to the bunk bed bedroom and downstairs bathroom creak. Very noticeable when you use the bathroom during the night. The downstairs bathroom tub has a hump along the rim so the showering items kept falling off. The house provided plenty of room for the four of us.

Not good for kids. Fine for adults. Does not feel like the private getaway the photos portray.

Overall the property is well taken care of and the owner seems nice. I personally was unsatisfied with our stay and will not go back. What you can’t tell from the photos is that the owners home is connected to the villa and on the other side there are neighbors that are a stones throw away which means you can hear the neighbors at all hours of the night. We booked this place for the bunk beds and the space for the children to play outside. The room with the bunk beds is where my 4 kids slept (4-11yrs old) and the door out to the deck lacks proper security measures to keep the door locked with a 4 year old. I woke up at 6:45am to my 4 year old knocking on the front door because he woke up and went to check out the backyard and got locked out. The only sitting area is upstairs in the loft. We arrived and the 3rd bedroom was locked so we could not use it (own must have mixed our reservations up overall not a big deal). In the process of discussing the 3rd bedroom he said we had to pay extra to use it so if your booking the house for 4 people make sure you discuss the use of the 3rd bedroom otherwise it sounds like you’ll just have access to 2 queen beds.

About the host

Hosted by Mark

Host profile image
Hello and welcome! My name is Mark and I'm from Cottage Grove, MN. My family and I love to travel. That passion for travel inspired us to create these vacation rentals because we know how important it is to have a comfortable, welcoming place to stay during your trips. We hope our cabin offers you the perfect retreat for relaxation and adventure!

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because of its perfect blend of relaxation and recreation. With Northwood Hills Golf Course right outside the cabin and the beautiful Mille Lacs Lake just a short drive away, it’s an ideal spot for both golfers and those who love the outdoors. At the end of a work week, I always find myself eager to head up to the Garrison area, where simply being on Lake Mille Lacs brings a sense of peace and tranquility. It’s a place that truly feels like a getaway, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

What makes this property unique

This property stands out for its unique layout—two separate cabins connected by a breezeway, creating the perfect blend of togetherness and privacy for families or groups. The breezeway, transformed into a game room, adds a fun, interactive space for guests of all ages. Its kid-friendly design, ample room for multiple families, and a picturesque setting near a golf course make it a one-of-a-kind getaway. Plus, the fully equipped kitchen and thoughtful amenities ensure a stress-free and comfortable stay.
