The lake offers swimming, boating, skiing and fishing.

· The Sugar Shack is located at 606 Broadway Street, Alexandria and is open year-round. They have candy, cookies, hand dipped ice cream and fresh fudge. Yummy!

Beautiful lake house

This was our second time staying at this wonderful property; we came back because we had such a great trip the first time! Clean, comfortable home with a fantastic kitchen, great dock and outdoor eating area/firepit. We really enjoyed kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing off the dock. Looking forward to visiting again in the future!

Wonderful cabin

We really enjoyed this cabin. The location was great. Very quiet neighborhood. The cabin is within steps from the dock/water. Great fishing right off the dock. The lake was very clean and clear. We loved the kayaks and paddle boards too. Our only complaint was there weren’t any condiments in the kitchen (besides salt and pepper), no laundry detergent, soap for the shower, or charcoal for the grill. We were running to the store last minute to buy all of this as most VRBO’s include this.

Lake house

We had a great stay! Our kids loved it so much. We spent every day in the lake swimming and using the kayaks. We fished off the dock which the kids loved. Every time they put their pole in their caught a small fish.The house was clean, had some fun games to play and we spent our time relaxing. .. the neighborhood was quite!

The dock steps are great!

This was our third year staying here. We love it. The new dock steps were a great surprise! The water was clean and clear, and we had a fantastic time. My hubby and I did move into the guest room the 3rd night in to try that bed instead. That one seemed more comfortable…. Or maybe we are just getting older and our bodies are used to our own bed. ;)

Amazing cabin on Lake Miltona

This cabin exceeded our expectations! It is very well maintained and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed and more (including a crock pot, mixer, plenty of pans, dishes, etc). Three bedrooms with a total of 5 beds (3 are twin). The cabin has air conditioning which is definitely a plus in the summer and a nice fireplace for the winter. Chad responded to all questions very quickly and was a wonderful host! We highly recommend staying here and plan to book it again in the future!

Beautiful house on a beautiful lake

The lake was like a mirror for most of the visit, which was really neat as the Northern Lights lit up while we were there, reflected off the lake. The house was clean, well-kept, and had lots of nice amenities like kayaks and fishing poles. Totally recommended.

Second year success

We chose to stay a second vacation here, because we love the sandy beach and use of the kayaks and paddle board. The kitchen has everything needed. Wished the king size bed was as comfy as the full size bed. The no-seeums/gnats were biting bad, so bring bug spray. Perfect for our family of four to make some great memories.

We’ve stayed here one other time, and it was great then and, once again, this time! Only thing I would suggest is adding a ladder to the dock. We enjoyed our stay! Thanks!

Nice cabin with beach on the lake!

The cabin was great and had everything we needed. The beach was perfect and we spent a lot of time outside. The damage deposit and mandatory insurance felt a little duplicative but overall the stay was worth it.
