About this property

5 acres near Lake Mille Lacs

Cozy up north home set on 5 acres in Wahkon Minnesota. Located on the south side of Mille Lacs Lake. There are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and comfortably sleeps 8 adults and 3 children. The property has access to the Soo Line ATV trail connected to hundreds of miles of state trails perfect for snowmobiles, biking, or ATV s. We are a half mile from downtown Wahkon which has many wonderful places to eat and socialize. Izatys resort is just down the road and has many options for renting ice houses in the winter or golf and boating in the summer. Plenty of room on the property to park boats or trailers. Reach out to us with any questions!

We just added new AC units to every bedroom and living room (2023).

NOTE: This is not a full time rental property and is a seasonal family home therefore not all of the closets are available for use but we hope guests will enjoy the warm up north feeling the same as we do. Also there are now chickens in the back half of the property by the barn. We have someone who checks on them daily.

It is a very cute house and very roomy and had well stocked kitchen. I thought the yard was great! The air conditioning is a problem because it is not central air and the 2 west side bedrooms do not have any air conditioning and get very hot. The east side room the air conditioner fell out of the wall in the night and it got really hot and then it fell out again the next day and my husband had to fix it. I think people should be told about the air conditioning especially when the rent in the summer when it is so hot.

Dated but lots of space

The accuracy of the online listing was a bit deceiving, as the house is no longer the color that was shown in the online photos. The home had plenty of space and the check-in process was easy. The house had been closed up for some time and smelled musty upon entry. The beds were comfortable, but the bedding must have been on the beds for quite some time, as it smelled very musty. The water smelled very strong of sulfur, so it made showering and general water use very unpleasant. The common spaces were nice size and the kitchen was well stocked with commonly used items. The air conditioning units in each bedroom were a necessity, as most of the bedrooms are located upstairs. It would have been nice if the house could have been opened up and had the air going upon arrival, as I think it would have helped to take the humidity and musty smell out of the home.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Aug 2023
Hi Jennifer, thanks for your stay and feedback! We did just put on new siding and all new windows to the house and will be getting updated photos of the exterior shortly. I apologize if that created any confusion but we hope the updates are a positive for guests moving forward. In terms of a musty smell, I am not sure what the issue would have been. We do have radiant heat in the house so there is not a lot of air movement until we get the windows opened. It is standard practice that all of our bedding is washed that week prior to arrival and in the case of your stay it was done within a couple days so rarely is anything sitting for a prolonged period of time. I hope the rest of your stay was enjoyable and we would love to have you back in the future!

Very homey with a responsive host

This is a very homey property where you can relax and be comfortable. The directions were clear and the only thing we had to do for check-out was take out the trash. There was an initial snafoo with the cleaning company, but it was quickly and graciously addressed by the host. Have stayed at this property twice and would stay again. Some work is being done on the home - it appears wjndows or frames are being replaced.

Quiet, secluded, yet close to town

We rented Matt's house specifically because it had direct access to the Soo line ATV trail. We have young and inexperienced riders in our group and didn't want to cross big highways to get to the trail. It was perfectly located. We were able to ride our ATVs across the yard through a short wooded trail and up an embankment directly to the trail. The house is located right on hwy 27 two blocks from the cute little town of Wahkon which has a couple small bar/grill places, a gas station and the Veterans park with a small but very clean and sandy beach. Drive another 5 minutes to Isle and you have Father Hennipen state park with a bigger beach, a grocery store, bowling alley, bakery and cute shops. Matt's house was clean and roomy with 3 bathrooms which was very nice. We had a really great time!

My sisters, mother, aunt and nieces rent a place near Mille Lacs yearly and this was another winner. Right on highway and super close to lake if that's what you want. Perfect rental for our needs. Wahkon and Isle are cute little towns to see.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Rich

Host profile image
I am a resident of Minneapolis and work full time as a real estate agent. I love the outdoors and spend my free time in the summer out on the lake and the winters on the trails. As an agent, I know the importance of being available and am always reachable by phone or email should you have questions or run into any issues at the property.

Why they chose this property

Whakon is a wonderful place to retreat to if you are looking to get away from the city. The home sits on 5 acres and also connects directly to the soo line trail at the very back. Since the soo line connects to thousands of miles of snowmobile trails and offers endless opportunities for biking, cross country skiiing and more it is a great option for summer and winter activity. As a lake town, fishing is also a huge draw for this area. Down the road at Izatys you can rent pontoons and sailboats if you want to enjoy the water and there are plenty of bars and restaurants within a few miles to enjoy.
