Lakeside Retreat at Izatys Resort - Perfect for Families!

NEW LISTING 06/01/2023 - CHECK BACK REGULARLY FOR UPDATES

Our lakeside retreat at Izatys Resort has it all... a spacious townhome (3BR / 3BA), stunning views of Mille Lacs Lake, spectacular resort amenities (including golf course, driving range, swimming pools, hot tub, pickle ball, tennis, sand volleyball, playground, marina, boat ramp, beach, docks and more) **, and many kid-friendly activities. Everyone in your group will have a blast, and we genuinely look forward to your visit with us!

Our 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 1,800+ square foot townhome is only 90 minutes from the Twin Cities and situated at the spectacular Izatys Resort. All of the bedrooms have comfortable pillow-top queen size beds and there is also an extra bunk bed with two twin mattresses. There are three bathrooms (one full bath, one 3/4 bath, and one 1/2 bath)... you can't ask for a better setup for your family and friends, with the potential to very comfortably sleep 8 people!

This two-level townhome also includes a fully equipped kitchen (for all of your cooking needs), spacious dining area (huge dining table with seating for eight and five additional chairs at the counter), main-level living room overlooking the beautiful lake (with 60” television, DVD / BluRay player, cable television, and complimentary wifi / high speed internet), laundry facilities for mid-week washing, and an outdoor Weber propane grill (with grilling utensils) for your tasty Bar-B-Ques, plus a Weber charcoal grill on the lakeside patio.

We also offer a golf cart for an additional fee, perfect for cruising Izatys Resort and getting to and from the various amenities!

** Please note that resort amenities are provided by Izatys Resort and are seasonal. Please contact Izatys Resort directly for reserving tee times or boat marina facilities, and to check the current availability of resort amenities.

Mille Lacs Lake is a world-class fishery with walleye, northern pike, jumbo perch, giant muskie, smallmouth bass, crappies and sunfish! Referred to as the "Walleye Capital of the World", Mille Lacs Lake was also recently ranked as the #1 bass lake in America by Bassmaster (2017). The lake yielded four beastly "world-record" muskies in 2015 & 2016, each in the 60+ pound range! Feel free to bring your own boat… a bait shop and public boat landing are both less than three miles from this home, and the marina has boat slips available for rent. You can also book a launch trip for your group, or a private guided fishing trip that will create lifetime memories. There are many trophy fish to be had on this world-renowned lake!

In addition to fantastic fishing, the Izatys Resort has a large lawn area, perfect for spreading out and enjoying yard games, and includes an outdoor playground for the children, swimming pools and hot tub, pickleball, tennis, and volleyball court, kayaks for zipping around on the lake, tons of games and toys, and numerous activities nearby (see list below for some of the local attractions).

The rates posted below include EVERYTHING you could possibly need for your stay in our lakeside retreat... just bring your food, clothes, and toiletries! We provide complimentary wifi / high speed internet, the laundry facilities are free-of-charge, the two kayaks are available for your entire stay, two propane tanks are provided for the grill, no parking fees for your vehicles, the garage is full of toys and swimming supplies (including life jackets and water shoes), the kitchen is fully equipped (free coffee, condiments, spices, etc), and so forth. We provide a "general information" package one month before your check-in with information on all of these amenities and MORE, including local attractions and many fun things to do during your stay.

The summer months are very popular, but don't overlook the fall, winter, or spring. Each of these seasons provides very unique activities and many fun-filled days:

Fall Activities - Take in the crisp, autumn air and enjoy the beautiful fall colors on the lake. Popular activities include ATV riding (more than 300 miles of premier ATV trails make this the largest connected ATV trail in the state), biking and hiking (the Mille Lacs Soo Line Trail is the newest "rails to trails" projects in the state of Minnesota and provides a scenic tour for hiking, biking, and rollerblading during the beautiful fall months), and fishing / hunting / shooting / archery (during the fall, trophy fish are fattening up for winter, and Mille Lacs is also home to white-tailed deer, grouse, and various duck species. The Mille Lacs Wildlife Management Area is located on the south end of the lake, and it encompasses over 39,000 acres of public hunting land, all for your enjoyment).

Winter Activities - The Mille Lacs Lake area is simply AMAZING during the winter months! Nothing brings out the kids in all of us, quite like winter. If you enjoy quiet sports, there are myriad trails for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. The Mille Lacs Kathio State Park also has a sledding hill with hot chocolate in the warming house. For the "active" outdoor enthusiast, the wind-whipped expanse of Mille Lacs Lake is perfect for kiteboarding on skis or snowboards, or ice skating. Don’t miss one of the lake’s big kiteboarding events—the annual Mille Lacs Crossing—usually held the first weekend in March. Or maybe you love to hit the MN snowmobile trails. Trailer up your machines or arrange to rent sleds... either way, the hundreds of miles of groomed MN snowmobile trails will provide a picturesque getaway. If fishing is your thing, plowed roads provide easy access on and off the lake, and local resorts offer fish houses for rent. These well-equipped fish houses have all the comforts of home. Hang out on the lake, play some cards—and of course, fish! Check out the ice reports, hire a guide, grab some tackle and fresh bait, and hit the Mille Lacs Lake ice highway for great Minnesota ice fishing!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask these in your response. We look forward to having you and your guests at our lakeside retreat at Izatys Resort. Thank you!

Izatys townhome
The property was clean and comfortable with an outstanding view of Mille Lacs. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and everything was well labeled. Check in time was late (5 pm) and this limited our options after getting in and getting settled. I also think that the cleaning fee was excessive. This is particularly true given that the hosts required so much cleaning from us prior to our departure or pay a penalty.

Wonderful place!!
My friends and I loved our stay! The place was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It was well stocked with plenty of kitchen items, dinner and glassware, paper towels, etc. We enjoyed driving the golf cart and using the great variety of water shoes and floaty stuff. Jason was a fantastic and very responsive host if we had any questions!! This place couldn’t have been more perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Jason Wimmer

My wife and I live in the Minneapolis area and we have three young children. We love the close proximity of our townhome to Minneapolis (it is about a 90 minute drive) and we have spent many wonderful days here with our family and friends!

Why they chose this property

My wife and I purchased this townhome in spring of 2023. We wanted a place on Mille Lacs Lake that was close to our home, and that had numerous amenities that we could enjoy with our children. Izatys Resort checked all of the boxes!

What makes this property unique

As we looked at different properties, we had numerous criteria; however, there were five things that stood out on our list, and this property had all of them: 1) Close proximity to Minneapolis (it is about a 90 minute drive via Highway 169, and located on the southernmost section of Mille Lacs Lake, for easy accessibility) 2) Plenty of space for family and friends (the townhome has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths with over 1,800 square feet, which can easily accommodate 8 people... our family and friends can visit without feeling squished) 3) A great swimming area for our young children (the swimming pools at Izatys Resort are a frequently used amenity, and the lake can also be fun to swim in). The children would rank this as #1 on THEIR list of unique benefits. 4) A spacious outdoor area with level elevation (the Izatys Resort area has numerous acres of open and well-maintained grass areas, perfect for outdoor activities right on the lake), 5) Great fishing! We love to fish, and while this was not #1 on our wish list, we are thankful we were able to find everything above, plus GREAT FISHING! We do not believe there is a better lake in Minnesota to get the variety of fish (walleye, smallmouth, muskie, jumbo perch, pike), while also having the potential to catch a trophy. We have personally caught and released many trophy fish on this lake, including walleye up to 29" and smallmouth up to 21" and muskie up to 52" and northern pike up to 39"... the fishing can be an absolute BLAST! If these unique benefits match any of the criteria on your search for the perfect vacation rental home, we would love to have you stay with us!
