We had a wonderful week with our extended family. The house was clean, spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. The sandy gentle beach was great for toddlers. The yard was lovely. We would rent again!

Perfect family getaway

We were so blessed to find this VRBO! It was the perfect place to allow everyone to have privacy and alone time when needed and also had wonderful areas for our whole group to enjoy family time. The views and activities were amazing. The house is clean, modern, and has everything you could ever want or need. So many happy memories were made at the Twilight House!

Great Gathering Space

We rented this house for our yearly women’s retreat. It was a wonderful space where all had a chance to be cozy and was functional. The kitchen was a lovely gathering space and had everything we needed to prepare for the weekend. Highly recommend staying here! Host was quick at communicating when there was a need.

Beautiful Home

We had over 10 people stay at this house and there was a bedroom for everyone! It's a big house with a large kitchen, and large inside entertainment space. It’s beautiful inside and out, over-looking the water. It feels like you have ocean view. Cleanliness of the place was great and the host was very friendly and quick to respond!

Weekend away

Our family and friends had a great experience! The house was clean and the beds/pillows were all so comfortable. Plenty of room for parking and a nice yard for games. The beach is slightly rocky but it’s nice and sandy just a few feet out and pure sand all the way past the end of the dock! We appreciated that the property team was always very responsive if we had any questions. They were great to work with!

Beautiful Home

We were there for a bachelorette party and we can honestly say this was the best house to host in!!! It was so spacious, we had 18 people stay and we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other at all!! The hosts of the property were very responsive and accommodating 😊 We will for sure be back with our spouses because it was just a stunning location and the lakefront property was beautiful and clean!

Girls weekend

All 14 of us ladies LOVED our stay. The house was everything I was looking for. All of the decor details were spot on. The backyard on the lake was something I could get used to. The paddle boards and kayaks were a huge bonus that we took advantage of. Communication with the host and property manager was super easy with quick response time. There isn’t a single thing we could complain about. Each one found is looking forward to staying again.

Mom's 80th Bday Reunion

We stayed at Erin's place for my mom's 80th birthday celebration. We had 14 ppl ranging from 80-13. The house is calen and modern and had wonderful amenitites. It truly felt like we were at home. The amenitites were awesome with outdoor water equipment ie paddle boards, kayaks, hot tub for 6. The kids loved the dual living rooms where they can play games and watch TV separate from the adults. Overall, extremely impressess with everything Erin provided and would highly recommend.

Great gathering house

Celebrated my 50th birthday here with a multigenerational group of family and friends. The house is very large and we never felt short on space. The extra fridge in the garage, all of the lake toys, lakeside fire pit area, and two washers and dryers were huge bonuses. The views to the lake are phenomenal and I caught some gorgeous sunrises each day. The house has been decorated in a very fresh, modern style. The kitchen has all of the essentials and then some. Everything inside was clean, although the landscaping and exterior siding and decking (mold in areas) could use some freshening up. Sufficiently cooling the upstairs also proved a bit tricky. Master suite on main level is huge and the soaker tub is great. If you bring a boat, plan to take it out each night as the enormous dock is full with the owners’ pontoon, runabout, and jet skis. Although we didn’t go in the basement, it was nice knowing it was there in case of bad weather. Would definitely stay here again! The hosts were just awesome to work with.

Better than the photos!

This property really is better than the photos even can show! It's much more spacious than I even anticipated, which was so nice for the 15 of us who ended up staying! The two living spaces are nice to have. The upstairs bunk room is SO adorable and perfect! All the rooms except one have very large, nice tv's in them which was so great for our winter getaway. The hot tub was on and running hot for us in February which was a lot of fun! The kitchen is fully stocked with literally everything you need, even a slow cooker! Every bathroom in the house is absolutely beautiful! I loved the giant upstairs glass shower! The bed in the bedroom I slept in was very comfortable definitely a memory foam mattress with a lot of very comfortable pillows. There are really soft, nice throw blankets all over the house as well! Overall I enjoyed my stay a lot and would definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking for a place to accommodate a get together on beautiful Mille Lacs Lake! ❤️
