Great week on Big Sandy

We loved our stay at this property! We felt right at home at this awesome cabin on the bay of a fun lake. We stayed for a week - grilling, cooking, campfires, swimming, and were able to easily work remotely using the wifi. We loved the local bar / restaurants. The privacy of the cabin was perfect!

We had prompt and positive communications with our host. It is charming, quaint, quiet, beautiful, clean and peaceful. The cabin is fully stocked with everything you need. The kayaks are a great addition and so fun to paddle around the bay. The bunkhouse and fire pit are lovely. We will be back!
Peaceful!

Relaxing Getaway

Wonderful cabin on a quiet bay. Cabin and bunk house were very clean, cozy and comfortable. My teenage son loved having the bunk house to himself. The location is private, with a beautiful view of the lake. The lake was great for both fishing and playing.

Perfect Minnesota cabin!

Looking for fancy, look somewhere else. Looking for clean, quiet, and cozy, look no further. The “bunkhouse“ was absolutely perfect for my sister-in-law well my wife and I and daughter stayed in the main cabin. The baby was quiet and protected. Nice areas to walk/run around. This would be a great place for children, as there is no traffic or other people to annoy.

Nice old school cabin

Great location on the lake in a quite bay. The 2 beds were comfortable The bunk house was cozy Nice big windows in cabin and bunk house Half the window did not open all the way due to something in the way. Old school cabin feel. Wish we knew you have to park 120 feet away and carry everything down a steep hill. Driveway from the street could be a challenge with out 4 wheel drive. My family had a great time.

Adorable Property and Cabin

Peaceful, pretty, tasteful combination of cabin in nature. The owners have done an excellent job of providing a stay mindful of quality, comfort, fun and necessity while respecting the true cabin experience and natural landscape of the property. There’s room to explore, roam a bit and relax with a private dock and ample yard space with enough tree coverage to feel private from neighbors who aren’t too close at all. Our pup loved the yard and pointed out all the wildlife he could find before tuckering out for naps. The cabin is sweet, nostalgic, clean and comfortable – woodsy with whimsy and functionality with fun, solid workmanship. People at nearby businesses were so friendly when we stopped for supplies and Owner, Sammie was great at communicating details ahead and assuring us he was only a call or message away if we had questions or needed anything while we were there. We didn’t; it was perfect. Thank you for a great stay!
