A few weeks ago I enjoyed a weekend in a sleeper shack on Mille Lacs Lake. We rented the Premiere Ice Cabin from Dean and Sue Hanson at Agate Bay Resort. It was our group's second time staying at their resort. The first time we were plagued by an extreme cold front which made us give it another shot this year, thinking the weather played a role in the fish activity. This year we were greeted again by another cold front, but nothing too extreme. This time we unfortunately marked, and caught, fewer fish than the previous year. We did, however, land fish over 24" on both trips.
The cabin is a 10 out of 10 on a comfort scale, which also played a role in deciding to come back this year. The one we rented was equipped with 10 holes, rattle wheels, comfortable bunk beds, a propane stove top, a microwave, and satellite TV. Each of the Premiere Ice Cabins also comes with it's own heated port-a-potty shack just feet from the front door.
One thing I have found interesting is that their Facebook page shares quite a few photos of nice fish, but not many actually in their own rental shacks.
If you are looking to rent a shack for the first time or are looking to bring your family on the ice for a comfortable weekend of fishing I would not hesitate to recommend Agate Bay Resort.
