Welcome to The Cove on Mille Lacs Lake! Cozy and scenic! Come and enjoy this charming home on Mille Lacs Lake. This space can comfortably host up to 10 people, has a kitchen with all basic necessities and a large deck to enjoy the sunrise/sunsets.

In addition to the home, there is 100 feet of lake shore located directly across the street (separated by HWY 169) for guests to enjoy. This beach is private to our guests and not public, however as a reminder, it is shared with our neighboring vacation rental that shares the driveway. **PLEASE ADVISE: HWY 169 is a busy road. We strongly encourage guests to take this into consideration, especially if you have children or pets joining you for your stay.**

Whether you're enjoying the spacious yard, or checking out the local restaurants/bars, this location is the ideal getaway.

In the entryway you will find a refrigerator/freezer, chairs for outdoor/campfire seating, charcoal and lighter, beach floaties, volleyball net and highchair. Guests are encouraged to use the supplies/amenities provided, but we ask that anything used is put back away prior to checking out.

Located about a mile north (on HWY 169) of the property is the public boat launch/lake access. In addition, this home is minutes away from the quaint town of Garrison. Grand Casino Mille Lacs is a short 7 miles away and Brainerd/Baxter is located about 25 minutes West with an abundance of restaurants, stores and more. Guests also enjoy the local state parks and other recreational activities.

There is plenty of space to park trucks, boats, and all the toys. FYI, Uber/Lyft is not often available; be prepared with alternate routes of transportation.

The driveway is shared with the property next door. Guests may park anywhere along the driveway or yard, but we ask that you keep vehicles on one-side (closest to the home). You may also park in the parking lot located at the Southwest intersection of Highway 169 and 26.

Summer: Enjoy the beach front located right across HWY 169, but please be careful when crossing the busy road. Boats, jet skis, kayaks and canoes are not provided, but feel free to bring your own as there is a public access point right up the road. Don't have your own watercraft? Check out the various rental companies nearby!
**In Northern Minnesota, Mayflies are known to appear near lakes approximately 1-2 times a year. Unfortunately, we can't predict when this may happen.**

Fall: We welcome guests to bring ATV's, bikes and more, however we ask that you respectfully do not ride these in our yard. Instead, checkout the nearby trails and surrounding areas. Looking for another outdoor activity? Bring your hiking boots to explore the state parks nearby.
**Most of the Minnesota bugs are no longer around, however you may want to check for ticks if you are in grassy or wooded areas.**

Winter: Mille Lacs Lake is a fantastic place for ice fishing! Bring your own gear or rent supplies nearby. Enjoy the winter but not into fishing? Bring your snowmobiles, snowshoes or other snow gear! The surrounding area offers plenty of options for all kinds of activities.
**Bring warm clothes, the weather can get cold rather quickly!**
