Luxurious 2BR Suite on Mille Lacs

There’s something about waking up to the quiet of Lake Mille Lacs that resets everything. Step outside with your coffee, watch the morning light stretch across 130,000 acres of open water, and remember why you came. Red House #5, Unit A is a brand-new retreat built for exactly that kind of trip — unhurried, comfortable, and close to everything that makes Minnesota lake country special.

THE SPACE

A warm, open home that feels like a breath of fresh air the moment you walk in. Plenty of room to spread out, gather together, or simply do nothing at all.

Living Area: Curl up by the fireplace on a cool evening, catch a game on the Smart TV, or just sink into the couch and watch the lake through the oversized picture window

Kitchen: A fully equipped, full-size kitchen with everything you need to cook real meals — no hunting for equipment or fighting for counter space

Coffee Bar: Wake up and pour your first cup without leaving the living area — a dedicated coffee and beverage station keeps the morning easy

Dining: Gather around a big farmhouse table with plenty of room for the whole group

Bedrooms: Two quiet, comfortable rooms with king sized beds — the kind you actually sleep well in

Bathroom: Soak in the deep freestanding tub after a long day on the water, or rinse off quickly in the walk-in shower

Extras: A mudroom nook right inside the door for coats and gear, mini-split climate control in every room, and ceiling fans throughout

OUTDOORS AND LAKE ACCESS

The name “Del Mar” means “by the sea” — and standing at the shore of Lake Mille Lacs, you’ll understand why. One of Minnesota’s largest lakes, it’s right outside your door. Spend mornings fishing, afternoons kayaking or paddleboarding, and evenings watching the sun go down over the water. In winter, the lake transforms into one of the best ice fishing destinations in the state. Resort and public trails run through the property whenever you feel like stretching your legs.
