Four days by the water

We loved our stay. The cabin is very rustic and needs an update but the atmosphere is sublime. Quiet, rustic, romantic and the views are wonderful.

Nice location

The lake was a big plus. The cabin was rustic and there wasn’t privacy with the bedrooms.

Don’t let the Reviews Make up your mind

We went back and forth about booking due to the reviews and I’m so glad we just went ahead and booked. It’s definitely a good old northern cabin on the lake, outdated, and some spider webs. But, the lake was nice, nice dock, fire pit cozy, beds were comfy and we had a great time! Would definitely rebook if we find ourselves in the area again.

Kacee was great with everything as always! Very helpful with prompt responses! Let us check in early with everything clean and ready to go! Pontoon ran great and had some great fishing including a couple fish fries and some to take home! Just what the we were looking for! See you next year!

Good family cabin

We had a great time. The cabin was a great place for our family to stay and enjoy the lake, camp fires and area. Owner was responsive and friendly. Basics provided, but no extras. Would have liked to have some water toys, like kayaks available. No A/C, which was ok, but can get warm during the day. Overall good experience.

Quiet Getaway

Rustic cabin in the woods. What we remember lake cabins were like when we were young. Quiet nights listening to loons sing and during the day fishing from the dock. No frills, but yet everything you need. A getaway from the hustle and bustle and technology of todays busy lifestyle. Kaylee was great to work with…responded to any questions we had quickly. If looking to unwind would recommend!

Over priced cabin on Sand Lake

Trash can full from previous occupants , had to buy my own towels and toilet paper as they weren’t provided, could not take a bath as stopper didn’t work, no kitchen sink strainer, carpet and furniture dirty, windows filthy, poor lighting, poor locks on doors, not the view advertised. Do not recommend!!!!

Sunsets

Honestly, I would not stay there again. The only plus was the kitchen. It had about everything you would need. Entryway was dirty/cluttered. Carpets in living room had large stains. The twin bed just had mattress cover & quilt…no sheets. The outdoor Adirondack chairs were so dirty you did not want to use them. I understand it is just a cabin but you expect it to be clean….. inside and outside around the deck area. Had no problems but isn’t very secure. You only have a storm door to lock. No solid type door there. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the loons. Seeing the beautiful sunsets and sitting by the fire was so nice. With a little cleanup it would be a great place to visit.

A quaint little cabin

If you’re looking for a nice affordable cabin (not lake home) for your family vacation, this is your place! I’ll admit, I was a little unsure of what we’d walk into when looking at the last few reviews from last year. Those renters were off their rockers! This is by no means a lake house, so don’t have those kinds of expectations. The neighbor is so safe, yes there is only a screen door coming in off the backside, but it’s really no different than sleeping in a tent when camping. Regarding the “dusty windows” from what I could tell, they were clean, they just have condensation fog in them from being either a little older or not top quality. The cabin was clean. We had no problems letting our toddler lay and play on the floor. We didn’t note any of the stains other guests had mentioned. The steps are uneven like people mentioned, but again, it’s a cute, rustic old cabin. It completely served our purpose and surpassed our expectations. When I had questions for the owner, she was SO quick to respond. Everything functioned as we would have expected. We will 100% stay here again if we come up again. :)

Terrible place to stay - please remove from VRBO!!!

This was the worst VRBO/rental we have ever reserved. The state of disrepair and lack of maintenance was horrendous. The security of the cabin was non-existent as there was no lock on the flimsy back door. All the issues we experienced are too numerous to list, but here are a few of them: 1. Missing bedsheets & blankets. The ones that were available were ripped and seemed dirty. 2. Cobwebs and stains on carpet throughout the cabin. 3.Tub didn't drain and mold/scum on shower liner. 4. Windows so dirty we couldn't see clearly to the lake. 5.Campfire chairs broken and moldy. 6. Broken window pane and a missing one in bathroom. 7. Horrible, almost unusable cooking pans. 8. Rusty and dirty freezer. 9.Cabin smelled awful after we removed the over-whelming room freshener. The pictures misrepresent how bad the cabin really is and not safe or healthy to rent. It should be demolished and removed from the VRBO listing! So very disappointing and we felt taken advantage of on this rental.

Beautiful views, Quiet Lake, Wasn't clean

This property had the most beautiful views and had a very nice lot. It was really only a 2 bedroom which was fine for our family. The bedrooms did not have doors to them though. It was so quiet and we were surprised that there were not many boats on the lake. We had so much fun fishing out by the dock and we rented a Pontoon boat for only $100 at the Sand Resort that was very close by. We also made S'more's at the fire pit. At night we played board games at the kitchen table. This is the part that I kept thinking, "You get what you pay for!" The price of this rental is very low but I would rather pay a cleaning lady to come in to make sure that everything is clean because the cabin was very dirty. I spent the first hour of my trip cleaning the kitchen, refrigerator and bathroom. The toilet was actually black inside until I cleaned it. I tried to vacuum but the vacuum did not work well. The floors really needed to be cleaned. I specifically asked if the bedding had been washed because after seeing how dirty everything was, I didn't have much confidence that they had. I was told that the bedding had been washed but when going to bed we had to pick off long black hairs that were on the sheets. I am thinking that maybe they washed them at the Laundromat and the washer or dryer wasn't clean????? My family had a great time at this cabin but because of how dirty everything was, it grossed me out.

Our week here has been great. The lake house is cozy, the lake, property, and town charming. Friendly, helpful, and generous people everywhere (including our host). This is among the best Northern MN has to offer. Can't wait to do it all again next year!

The cabin was great!

The cabin - nice and rustic. Cleaners could have knocked a few more cobwebs off of the light fixtures. The listing says "no towels". And there are NO towels. No paper towels, no kitchen towels, no towels. Bring towels. No biggie, but you should know this. The boat. The listing says that the boat comes with a full tank of gas. We rented the boat for 2 days and when we got into the boat it had 1/4 tank of gas but was told that that was enough. Well, it wasn't. Thankfully it rained most of day two so we didn't spend much time on the water. We were told that there was a 2.5 gallon tank of gas that we could use, but it maybe had half a gallon in it. Also, the boat was incredibly filthy. Grass, mud, bottle caps... it really needed a good cleaning. Also, we brought our tubes for our teens to have some water fun. The motor was super small and the boat couldn't go fast enough to make it fun. Thankfully we have great kids so they tried surfing and doing some crazy things to make it fun. So, the boat experience was a bit disappointing. That said, to leave it on a high note, the communication with Kaycee was great and Joe also replied very quickly. We would totally stay in the cabin again but probably skip the boat. If you don't mind toodling and not going fast, you may love it, though!

Great stay at the lake!

My family had a great time! The lake was beautiful and clean- the kids swam every day. The yard was shaded enough to stay cool and out of the sun to play some games. We had some amazing sunsets from the fire pit and dock! The cabin could use some upgrades but had the essentials and that's exactly what we expected. Great stay! Thanks Kaycee!

Nice get away

The lake is really nice, both for swimming and fishing! The cabin is an older rustic cabin, nothing fancy, which is what we grew up with. Kaycee is great to work with, super responsive and easy to reach. The pontoon rental was a bonus. Had a great time!

Great stay!

Had a great stay here. The cabin has amazing views of Sand Lake! Gave 4/5 stars because the back door was a screen door (a screen door lock isn’t strong so didn’t feel 100% safe). The lot this cabin is on was big and felt secluded.

Awesome Lake Stay

Great lake for catching fish, many right off the dock. Kaycee was great and very communicative. It's a rustic feel the cabin but it brings me back to when I was young and go to a cabin with my parents.
