About this property

Stunning log home with a rental pontoon on a quiet sunlit bay. Check it out!

Little Resort is about 1.5 hours from the Twin Cities. The perfect jaunt for a week or a weekend away. This log home can house up to 6 guests. If you are needing more space, neighboring properties are available to accommodate larger groups for the feel of a resort community all to yourselves. This unique location truly provides something for everyone to enjoy any time of the year. It is quiet, peaceful, and oh so relaxing! When you get here, you will likely not want to leave, but if you do feel like branching out, there is so much to do in the area. You can enjoy miles of walking and bike paths. Breweries, fun bars, restaurants, wineries, great coffee and dining, guided canoe and kayak tours massage, golf, mini golf, great hikes, hunting, bird watching, sporting clays, skiing, bowling, alipine slides, go carts, a casino, movies, amazing ice cream at the local dairy and much more, all within 20-40 minutes of the cabin. Comfort, relaxation and fun is our goal for our indoor and outdoor spaces and we guarantee our little resort will meet or exceed your expectations.

The cabin itself is a beautiful 3 bedroom year round log home on a tranquil 500 acre lake surrounded by woods and wildlife that will instantly provide the relaxing sensation of a deep breath. It is situated on a quiet peninsula that looks out on a beautiful sun lit bay. The yard is very spacious and level with a gentle slope to the lake. No stairs to get to the water! We have a dock that is ready for you to tie up to, and 2 public launches within 2 miles.

In the summertime, our lake is great for swimming, fishing, and boating and is sure to produce an abundance of sunshine-fed smiles and laughter. Use the grill to cook up some steaks, make smores at our lakeside firepit, or just grab a drink and relax on the dock as the loons sing the sun down. The incredible sunsets get even better when you are bathed in the beautiful light while cruising the lake in a comfy pontoon. We are happy to help you coordinate drop-off and pick-up of a rental pontoon directly to and from the dock. Trust me when I tell you that boating does not get any easier than this! If you prefer more relaxed water activities we have a canoe, 2 kayaks, a paddle boat, Life vests, and water toys, for our guests to get out and enjoy the beautiful scenery and wildlife that our lake has to offer. We also provide lawn chairs, badminton, and bean bags to help you take advantage of the large flat yard surrounding the cabin. Did I mention the fishing is great right off the dock? It is! We never fail to get a shore lunch at the cabin :)

The fall offers gorgeous hikes and cozy nights. The colors are truly stunning! For hunters there is thousands of acres of public hunting land available within 15-30 mn of the cabin with plenty of Deer, Grouse, pheasant and Wild turkey around. If you don't want to work so hard for the birds there is a terrific game farm with all the amenities including 5 stand trap in a heated trailer that goes all winter long.


The winter time offers an incredible cozy and relaxing environment with a lot of great ways to get outside and enjoy. Cross country ski, snow shoe, ice fish, Hunt, play boot hockey, take our sleds for a ride, or snow mobile on some of the near by local trails. Down hill skiing and tubbing can be found just 40 minutes from the cabin at Wild Mountain. After you are done with Jack Frost, warm up next to a roaring fire with a warm drink, bake some cookies, play some board games and enjoy family and friends with old fashioned fun that only a log cabin in the country can provide.


The comfortable and well appointed interior of this cabin and the stunning beauty of this place will have you wishing you'd booked longer. We love this place and we would love to share it with you! We hope to see you soon. Please let me know if you have any questions at all.

Amazing stay! Peaceful and quiet

Plenty to do around Grantsburg, Webster and Siren which are all small towns. Fireplace with cut wood just outside the door, board games, and plenty of rooms if you are bringing the whole family. There is a great grill and bar called Route 35 in Webster and if you are a hunter there is public land nearby and gun ranges. We had a great time!

Family vacation/getaway

The cabin was very nice, quiet and well equipped. We were very comfortable and pleased with the host and the ease of everything. The tap water had a bit of an odor, so we brought bottled water to drink. Otherwise we were very happy.

Great getaway cabin in the woods

The host, John, is very helpful and detailed, and his cabin is clean and comfortable. The cabin is even more spacious than I thought it would be from the listing, and I was pleasantly surprised at all the extras provided (eg kayaks, a canoe, a paddle boat, games, lawn chairs, coffee, high-speed internet, etc). The beds are comfortable, and we got excellent sleep in this quiet, rural lake setting. The dedicated dock just 25 yards from the front porch was perfect for fishing, and we caught bluegills by the dozen. The shaded country road where this cabin is located made for a pleasant walk every morning, and we saw a lot of wildlife. There are several small towns just a short drive away with good places to eat. We had a wonderful five days here, and I highly recommend this cabin to anyone wanting a quiet getaway in the country.

Best Cabin

We were very impressed with this very clean cabin. It's a great layout over looking the lake, with plenty of room to sit around the fireplace, watch TV and dine. Kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed. Sleeping quarters worked out great for us. The host was great to work with, very responsive to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this cabin and plan on staying there next year.

Much needed get away

The Little Resort on Big Lake is exactly like the pictures show. Well maintained, clean and fully stocked. I reunited with family members and this was the perfect place to do so. Total peace and quiet. The only downside was the septic system. Signs up in bathrooms and kitchen about conserving water so the septic system doesn't fill up. I agree with conserving water, but it felt a bit overboard. Unfortunately, the septic alarm did go off on our 3rd or 4th day there, even though we were very conservative with our water usage and toilet flushing. I followed the instructions on what to do if that happens and John(the owner) promptly answered my phone call reassuring me that it happens. It didn't hinder our stay at all. If If you are looking for a beautiful place to unplug and relax, this is the place to do just that!

My family and I enjoyed our time at this property. We were able to relax and enjoy some much needed time away from the city. We enjoyed the lake, kayaking, playing games, and going on walks. The host was amazing! He was super responsive if anything came up. The caving is fully equipped with everything you’ll need. I will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful Lake

The cabin is exactly as it is pictured. It fit the 7 of us perfectly. I wish there would have been a place to unpack all of our food. Maybe some shelfs in the dining area. We just ended up leaving all the dry food in the bins and boxes we brought them in on the floor. We did spend most of our time outside. The kids fished non stop. They did not catch anything worth keeping but still had a ton of fun. The dock was soft and wobbly and needs to be fixed, IMO. I barely went on it, especially the end with the seat, because it made me nervous. Not a huge deal, it didn't bother anyone else. I cannot say enough about how peaceful the lake is. There was barely anyone on the lake which was so nice when out kayaking. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by John Sagstetter

Host profile image
Hi there!

My name is John and I am from St Paul MN

My hobbies are hang gliding, alligator wrestling, and fostering baby kangaroos:)

.......no but seriously my favorite thing to do is just being outdoors, and I will look for about any excuse to make that happen. I bought this cabin in order to have a place to make incredible memories with my family and friends. I love it there because it is one of the few lakes that has not been over developed
and still maintains a very natural shoreline with lots of trees. The surrounding country is made up of rolling hills farms, and forests and the diversity of wildlife in the area never ceases to amaze me. When we are there life just seems to become much more simple. Phones get put away and we enjoy each other the way we used to before all of the distractions started.

I enjoy being a host because we are not able to be at the cabin full time and I want other people to be able to benefit from it and experience the same kind of bonding experiences with their family and friends that I experience with mine.

Its a very unique spot and we would love the opportunity to share it with you and your family/friends. I Look forward to talking to you soon.

Thanks!

John
