Seasonal Rates have been updated on the website for this coming year.

I am working on updating the Red House Rental page with new pictures of the place and it’s accommodations, and hope to have that ready soon.  This year is it will be available for winter rentals. Since we have our Ice Fishing Office in the restored barn.  It is now available for ice fishermen that do not want to stay overnight on the ice, snowmobilers and cross country skiers.  With Father Hennepin State Park just around the corner it is convenient for the skiers.

Cindy and I are looking forward to a good winter this year.

This is due to a customer renting our Red House for most of August that canceled due to an injury.  We have numerous weeks open.

July 26th-Aug1st,   August 2nd-August 8th, Aug 17th-August 23rd,  August 24th – August 30th.

August 31st – September 6th,   September 7th – Sept 13th.

Please call 320-676-8740 to book a week. Info on the rental can be found on our summer rental page of this website. It costs $1000/week. You can also call 320-980-3706 (Eddy’s Cell) if you have questions. Losing that booked period was quite a blow to Cindy and me as we always booked on word of honor and didn’t require deposits.  So if you know one that might be interested let them know.

Thanks,

Eddy

So far summer has been pretty wet up here.  Had to pull the main dock closer to shore last week as the lake level has risen over a foot since we put it in before opening.  Hoping the rain slows down some over the next couple weeks.

Our Web Cam is up and running again on our website.   In the future it will be added to the Mille Lacs Tourism site.

Fishing has been very good out there.  But with C/R only, not as many Walleye fishermen have been visiting Mille Lacs.  Those that have are very impressive by the numbers, health and diversity of year classes.  The Mille Lacs Walleye population is not in trouble… the treaty management practices are.. That is the “root” of the problem!
