Downtown Isle; one block to Lake Mille Lacs beach!

Isle Harbor Lodge offers a charming, one bedroom suite near Mille Lacs Lake allowing friends and families the opportunity to seek out a variety of adventures. Centrally located in downtown Isle the historical building has been carefully designed to enhance the properties unique architecture and create long lasting experiences for guests. Pet friendly building near many attractions that are easy to access on foot!


Take in the beautiful knotty pine and 12ft ceilings in this thoughtfully designed suite by House of Altered Artifice. You can cozy up to the fireplace on the cozy Restoration Hardware sofa and enjoy a book from our small library.
There are many ambient lighting features in addition to the fireplace such as remote Luminara flickering flameless candles, undercabinet lighting, and integrated bookshelf lighting to help you relax and enhance your visit. Statement pieces have been carefully chosen for this unit including the bedroom art wall showcasing the fallen propellors of Mille Lacs Lake; gifted by a local.

Guests are located within easy walking distance to Mille Lacs Lake beach at Isle Lakeview Park, recreational rentals (such as paddle boards, kayaks, bicycles, floating foam pads, yard games, pontoons, ATV/UTV, and snowmobiles), Mille Lacs Lake Museum, and shopping. Head out the front door to the grocery store, to nearby taverns, and restaurants on foot. You can also enjoy year round access to the Soo Line trail for ATV/UTV and snowmobile experiences just a few blocks away. A little further down the road is Father Hennepin State Park offering 4.5 miles of hiking trails where you might catch a glimpse of an albino deer. Lake Mille Lacs is the second largest lake in Minnesota and well known for its fishing year round!
Whether you are looking to hit the town, the trails, or the lake, Isle Harbor Lodge will serve as a great base for all your pursuits while providing the comforts of home with a well stocked kitchen and amenities to make our guests feel right at home.

Please note the potential for noise, this is a multi-unit property with other Guests and Tenants, possibly with accompanying pets. You can and should expect normal family/pet noises and ambient sounds from being in town (bands at Taverns/Pubs, fairs, etc.). Please keep this in mind when considering our space. Two sets of ear plugs are provided. A fan, the TV, and Bluetooth speaker can assist with background white noise if that is your preference.

Other things to note:
Although most comfortable for two overnight guests the unit can accommodate a maximum of four overnight Guests with advanced notice so that an additional bed (full size memory foam) can be set up in the living room with extra linens for two. A fee of $75 will be required to set up beds/linens without prior notice if there is staff availability. This service is not guaranteed; please ensure you indicate the correct number of Guests at booking and make the requests in advance.

Pets must be disclosed before checking in; only house trained and well behaved dogs are allowed with advanced notice. Pets must be treated for fleas/ticks and be up to date on vaccinations. Pets six months of age or younger will need pre-approval.

Included in your stay is a starter supply of snacks, coffee, condiments, toiletries, toilet paper, garbage/recycling bags, and dishwasher pods.

Currently Isle Harbor Lodge does not offer any outside recreational areas although the building does have grass yard surroundings if you'd like to bring folding chairs or lawn games. Check back with us in 2025; we have big plans!

At this time Isle Harbor Lodge does not provide cable or streaming services but there is high speed internet and Roko TV for Guests to use personal accounts.

Although we do not have laundry on-site there is a laundromat a half block away.

The historical older building will at times get insects one can expect from being up north in a rural area within close proximity to the lake. Lady bugs, fish flies, etc. may occasionally find their way indoors. May fly and fish fly hatches can be inconvenient and disrupting depending on what way the wind is blowing but it's a very important part of the lake eco system!
*Must climb half flight of stairs to unit entry.

Short family visit
We were in town to tend to some family issues. This place was perfect for my wife and I along with my sister in law. The unit was immaculate and well appointed. Every detail had been well thought out. This is a beautiful apartment that feels like a downtown city loft. It was a joy to come back to after some very long days.

Best place ever
The place is amazing, for sure will keep staying there. Everything you need she had, right down to the phone chargers. If it was available to rent monthly I would live there 😊. Host was very responsive. Close to lakes & grocery stores.

Perfect Stay
The accommodations were the best we’ve ever stayed at through VRBO. There was no detail overlooked and the entire place was very very clean. Everything looked brand new and the decor was very professional looking. Cabinets were stocked with everything you need to cook meals and then some. Would definitely stay again.

Great little apartment near the lake for a couple. Grocery store across the street. Many extras in the apartment for snacks or to get you started cooking (salt, pepper, oil, coffee). Would definitely recommend.

A Perfect Property
This place is perfect! My wife and I wanted to spend time hiking, relaxing near a lake and enjoying the outdoors with our Golden Retriever Maggie. This facility is definitely 5 stars. Very clean, very comfortable and so accommodating. The owner pays attention to details especially when pertaining to pet's needs. All very modern appliances and decor. The location is great; very close to Father Hennepin and Kathio state parks for scenic hiking. Walking distance to Mille Lacs Lake, boats rentals and water toys. It was also very quiet. Highly recommended and would definitely return.

Perfect Getaway
This listing was exactly as pictured. Beautifully decorated and very cozy. Perfect for a couple looking to get away from life for a bit. The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and utensils and there were plenty of towels in the bathrooms. Located close to several places to eat and things to do. The host had a great welcome binder that gave many awesome suggestions for places to eat and things to do as well as clear expectations for use of thier property. Wonderful overall. And I would definitely stay again in the future !

Property was everything as promised and more. Clean, modern, well organized and very comfortable. We were particularly interested in this property because it was pet friendly and was impressed with just how friendly it was. Charlee had a great time and wants to go back😃. The property manager, Miranda, was very responsive to any questions we had and I was impressed with her attention to detail. We would go back… Tim

Perfect week long getaway!
My husband and I stayed here with our dog for about a week and it was perfect! Miranda was very responsive to my messages and had everything communicated perfectly before we arrived where we were able to get checked in, stay, and leave with zero issues! The beach a block away is gorgeous for sunsets at night and the beach at the state park a few minutes away was perfect to relax on during the day. Miranda had a great list of recommendations for places to eat or stay busy so we always had something to do! She also had supplies for our doggo to use, which was perfect because we forgot a few things! My husband is already talking about coming back!

You can stop searching, this place is it.
Miranda was excellent from the time we booked the reservation. She communicated all the information ahead of time, it was easy to follow and made the check in process very straightforward. The cabin is deceptively modest from the outside with a wood and stone traditional cabin exterior but once inside it opens up into a very clean, open, well decorated, modern apartment. We where just as happy to stay in and watch tv on a very comfortable couch as we where to go out and Explorer. Location is fantastic, you are within walking distance to everything in Isle including the state park, and even benches along the lake just a block away. The guidebook is key if you are not familiar with the area all the recommended spots where really good. Call ahead to some of the places as they are by appointment (but of course that’s all detailed in the guidebook). Linens and towels where excellent quality, and the kitchen is fully stocked for all cooking needs. This is the only place I will plan to stay in as long as I’m visiting the area. Fantastic attentive host and a modern, comfortable, functional, well thought out living space.
