Description:
Wake up steps from Mille Lacs Lake — one of Minnesota's most legendary walleye fisheries — with your own private dock stretching into 132,000 acres of open water. This fully renovated 3-bedroom home sleeps up to 10, with a game-room bunk suite, fire pit, and the kind of sunsets that make people book again before they leave.
The space
Step inside a kitchen that surprises — white shaker cabinets, granite counters, a gas range with a bold black range hood, and a farmhouse sink overlooking a bright window. It's built for cooking real meals for a crowd, whether that's a walleye fry after a long day on the water or a full breakfast before an early ice fishing run.
Two designer bedrooms anchor the main house. The first features a deep navy accent wall, bold terracotta curtains, a king bed, and its own mounted TV — bold and cozy in equal measure. The second brings true cabin warmth: exposed wood ceiling beams, a forest-green board-and-batten headboard wall, a tufted king bed, and a hanging lantern chandelier that glows at night like something out of a design magazine. A sleek bathroom connects the two — subway tile, a glass-enclosed shower with a rainfall head, dark shiplap ceiling, and matte black fixtures throughout.
Then there's the bunk suite. The converted garage room is where big groups truly unlock this place — two twin-over-full bunk beds sleep up to 6, with a full-size ping pong table, a mounted TV, a dining nook, and its own mini fridge. Equal parts bunkhouse and game room, it's where the kids migrate, where the card games happen, and where nobody wants to go to sleep.
The lake
Cross the road and you're standing on your private dock on Mille Lacs — one of the longest docks on this stretch of shoreline, extending well into the lake for fishing, swimming, or just watching the sun go down over the water. Walleye, perch, and muskie run thick here. The ice fishing in winter is world-class and draws anglers from across the Midwest. Grand Casino Mille Lacs is just minutes away; the lake is right here when you don't need it.
A note on the layout
US Highway 169 runs between the house and the lake — a busy two-lane road that's standard for Mille Lacs shoreline properties in this stretch. Your dock and lake access are directly across the road. Most guests love the setup for fishing mornings and evening walks to the dock; just know you'll cross the highway to reach the water. It's a short walk, and the lake is absolutely worth it.
The yard and outdoors
The backyard backs into the trees with a stone fire pit, a large stack of split firewood, and Adirondack chairs already waiting. The wooded lot gives real privacy on the land side — evenings around the fire here feel miles from anywhere, even when the lake is just across the road.
The area
Garrison is one of Mille Lacs' most beloved lake towns, with bait shops, local bars, restaurants, and the casino all within easy reach. Whether you're here for the fishing, the family reunion, the guys' weekend, or just to slow down for a few days — this is the right place to do it.
