Why Premium Storage Pays for Itself
Most storage around Milaca is outdoor lots or basic drive-up units. That works for boxes. It does not work as well for the boat, the sled, or the camper. UV cracks the gel coat. Trapped moisture under a tarp ruins seat foam. Cold concrete drains a battery to scrap by April. The savings on a cheap unit can disappear into a single replacement battery or a detailing job to revive faded paint.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Due North Storage from Milaca?
Roughly 29 miles, about a 35 to 45 minute drive depending on the route and traffic. Most Milaca customers fold the run into a trip toward Saint Cloud, Sartell, or back from a weekend at Mille Lacs Lake, which makes it feel like no extra detour at all.
How much does premium storage near Milaca cost?
Monthly rates run from $125 for our 11×22 unit up to $280 for the largest 14×40 unit. Pricing is transparent, no surprise fees, no admin charges, no long contracts required. Long-term rates are available, just ask when you call.
What sizes do you offer?
Six sizes: 11×22, 13×25, 14×25, 14×30 (in two door configurations), and 14×40. The largest unit holds a full pontoon plus a tow vehicle, or a Class C RV, with room to walk around. If you’re not sure what fits, call us with the dimensions of what you want stored, and we’ll match a unit.
Do all units have electricity?
Yes. Every Due North Storage unit includes electricity, which means you can plug in a trickle charger to keep batteries topped off all winter, run a small dehumidifier if you want extra moisture control, or use a work light when you’re in the unit. Most outdoor and many indoor storage facilities in the Milaca area do not include this.
Can I store a boat or pontoon here for the season?
Yes, and indoor is exactly where it should be. A 14×30 fits most pontoons with a tow vehicle disconnected, and the 14×40 holds the full pontoon plus the tow vehicle. Indoor storage keeps UV off the gel coat, moisture out of the seat foam, and the battery on a maintainer all winter.
Can I access my unit anytime?
Yes, drive-up access lets you load and unload on your schedule. You don’t need to coordinate with us for typical pickups or drop-offs. Call ahead if you need to discuss anything specific about your unit.
Is the facility secure?
Yes. Controlled access to the facility, plus your own locked unit inside an enclosed building. 24/7 video monitoring covers the property, and the lighted units make night drop-offs straightforward. Your gear sits behind two layers of security, not exposed in a row of fence-and-tarp lots.
Do you offer month-to-month rentals?
Yes. Month-to-month leases are the default. You’re not locked into a year-long contract, so if you sell the boat or move out of the area you can wind down without paying for unused time.
