Great lake cabin 3Cs
Clean cozy cabin! Recommend a stay here even if you dont have a boat its beautiful. Stayed from our normal weekend Mille Lacs to have a change of lake and scenery. If we go back to Big Sandy for an overnight(s) will try for this place again. Both the cabin and bunk house were just perfect and as advertised or better! Sammie super responsive and helpful. Before and duting our stay. Definitely turnkey and we could have stayed longer and been perfectly happy with the property and the area. I guess a reason to go back! Two things to note if this might apply to you I got a little mixed up on getting the tv streaming on the internet that was a little newish to me but got it figured out pretty quick. User error! And...TV up north..enjoy the view :) Driveway is a little steep/short and there is a hill decline from top of driveway to cabin and again to dock (beautiful view!)...but a wagon was there to help and there are nice wide steps. And you can park on the road in a pinch with a trailer so that was really convenient Thanks Sammie youve got a gem here thanks for the stay!!

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!

Cute cabin with gorgeous view. The bed and couch were very comfy, and it was fairly private! The lake is very nice for boating and swimming from pontoons, but not beach swimming, just as an fyi.

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.

Cabin was clean and in perfect condition. Couldn’t ask for a better view of the lake. Cabin is conveniently located in a bay which was perfect for leaving the boat in the water over night. Highly recommend and would love to visit again next summer.

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.
