About this property
A peaceful, private, and quiet lake home on the shoreline of Mille Lacs Lake.
This newly updated home is on a spacious, private lot with a deck overlooking the lake. Large lots like this have become increasingly rare on Lake Mille Lacs. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the house, patio, yard, and shoreline. The house is on the lake shore despite what the VRBO map may indicate.
The home features three bedrooms: a main-floor master bedroom with a queen bed and two bedrooms on the second level with four twin beds. All beds are memory foam.
You'll find a well taken care of comfortable home with decor. The full-service kitchen has an electric stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and all utensils, including new silverware, plates, cups, and glasses. Towels and washcloths are also provided.
This property has new stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen, new flooring, a north porch and deck, a workstation/house wifi (bring your laptop if you'd like), and lake views from the kitchen, north porch, deck, and huge lake facing yard. Enjoy outdoor activities with a private fire pit on the lakeshore, which includes a stainless-steel grill option over the fire pit. There is also a gas grill on the deck, a picnic table, and six HDPE Adirondack chairs. The sunsets over Spider Island are truly spectacular.
Protected boat launches are available nearby in Wahkon and Isle (both are 5 minutes away), and the beautiful beach is nearly next door at Father Hennepin State Park. This property is conveniently located between two towns for easy access to gas, groceries, and multiple dining options.
Whether you're seeking a family vacation, a peaceful getaway, a peaceful place to read or craft, a homebase for a fishing trip, privacy, spring flowers, summer fun, swimming, boating, fall colors, or winter activities like ice fishing and snowmobiling, this location has it all. Father Hennepin State Park and Kathio State Park are just a short distance away.
If you prefer staying indoors, you can relax in the sauna or read in the home's tranquil atmosphere, enhanced by a lovely lake breeze.
Our preferred rental would start with a Friday arrival with a Thursday checkout, but we will happily work with your schedule.
NOTE: 4pm arrival and 10:00 am departure unless otherwise agreed upon.

Our time at The Hill House was great! We had 3 people and stayed for 4 days. It’s very accommodating and cozy, and it’s all ready and set up to move right in to stay! Jeremy was wonderful with all the communication leading up to, during, and after our stay! Highly recommend!
This property is absolutely amazing! The best sunsets over the lake. So many fun activities to do there and around the area! The host was very communicative and responded quickly if we had any questions or needed anything. It is very clean. The beds are comfy. We'll definitely be going back!!
Perfect spot to unplug! We enjoyed the board games, morning coffee on the dock and showing my daughter how a research paper was done on "ants" back in our day using the encyclopedias! The cabin was clean and comfortable! Loved the history on the fruit tree and band!
We had a great visit and will stay again if in the area. The Hill House was clean, well equipped and had a great view of the lake. Hosts were good communicators. 5 stars!
We had a great stay. The location is perfect overlooking the lake. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The sauna was definitely a welcomed addition. We'd definitely stay here again.
This cabin was exactly as described. We had such a nice time relaxing on the deck, at the campfire… very quiet and peaceful getaway. Location is great, right between Wahkon and Isle, near 2 state parks… absolutely would stay again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Hill House. The property was in a great location for relaxation, the communication with the owner was incredible. Truly one of the better VRBO experiences I have had. We would absolutely stay again!

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! You're welcome back anytime.
Great beautiful location. Quaint cozy house that was very clean with a full sized kitchen and many other amenities.Communication with the property owner was thorough and quick when needed. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful stay! The home was spotless and very well-maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking equipment we needed, which made it easy to prepare meals during our stay. The best part was the breathtaking view of the lake; it was so peaceful to wake up to every morning and watch the sunset in the evenings. The location was perfect for a relaxing getaway. We would definitely stay here again!
Had a great stay and get away at the cabin on the lake. Particularly enjoyed an early morning cup of coffee on the dock. the secluded and quite property provided great opportunity to relax.
the house was neatly decorated and very well maintained. The house was very clean and had a great view of the lake. Jeremy was great to work with, he answered all of my questions and made sure everything was right. Looking forward to the day that we can go back.
This is a beautiful home that sits right on the lake shore. There is quick access to a grocery store, restaurants, and public boat ramp. We were able to see lots of wildlife in the back yard. Overall very comfy and cozy. I would definitely stay again!
The property was awesome! The online pictures didnt do it justice. It was even nicer than we expected. Reading about the history of the property made the stay so much more personal. It felt like home away from home.
The home was easy to find and had a beautiful view of the lake. Jeremy was prompt in answering our questions. We were even able to listen to a wonderful band on Saturday night. I would highly recommend staying here.
We stayed here while we were in town for a MTT tournament and it worked out great. There was plenty of room to park the truck and trailer and easy access to power to charge the boat up. Perfect home base with all the amenities you need after a few long days on the lake

About the host
Hosted by Jeremy Lyback
I grew up in this house and graduated from Isle High-school. I purchased the property from my dad a few years ago and currently renting it out. I enjoy sharing the beautiful views and peaceful spot with others.
Why they chose this property
I grew up on this property and felt the need to keep it in the family and for the time being to offer it up to others to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
This rental is different than most you'll find as it has a large lot and a quiet setting. This is not a cabin built directly next to other cabins. If you're looking for a peaceful lake setting, you've found it.
