Celebrating Family Christmas
We appreciated the holiday decor at the property, especially the Christmas tree. We enjoyed walking on the lake, the fire pit, the hot tub, the game room, yard space for our dog - everything! The kitchen was great for meal prep. The entire property was very welcoming. It was perfect for our mix of ages. We loved our stay.

Perfect Cabin Getaway
This is the perfect place for a weekend getaway! Despite going in the winter months, there was plenty to do. Besides the activities like ping pong, pickleball, and the hot tub, just the place itself was really unique and homey which is hard to convey in the pictures. There was plenty of space for 7 adults to cook, hangout, and have a good time. Plus, it’s only a 5 minute drive to a brewery and other places to eat in case you need to get out. The communication with the host was also seamless up to and including our arrival. This place exceeded my expectations for a fun cabin weekend, highly recommend!

Beautiful setting and amazingly responsive host
We believe we booked the home during a transition time when they were doing some updating and cleaning. Things like into the season and putting boats and docks away and so forth as well. The host were incredible and easy to reach and better response. The home setting and privacy are spectacular.

Annual family getaway
Every single one of my family members from children to older adults loved this property for both the amenities and the location. We had the perfect spot on Red Sand shore, it was private and quiet, the home was spacious and the hot tub was such a great addition. TheWe plan to reopen next year.

A nice quiet location, close to local activities and restaurants if needed. Lake is weedy but there are deep spots to swim off the pontoon which was nice. Lots of toys available to keep kids entertained. A very well equipped kitchen.

Wonderful Family Christmas
This was our second Christmas stay at this beautiful property. The house was decorated for the season and our children and grandchildren had a great time. There are so many activities do do on the property and so much room that everyone could spread out and have fun. Kari is a a great host and is very responsive.

Family Fun
We really enjoyed staying in your lovely home in the woods with our 2 dogs. They got lots of walks in the "woods". Even thought it was in the 20s and 30s, we still hiked, kayaked and played lots of board games. The heat was a bit wonky and we wouldn't have even noticed if it hadn't gotten down to the 20s at night, but the owners responded quickly. There are plenty of space heaters and blankets! And the wood fire was just what we were looking for. We couldn't quite figure out all the hot tub stuff. Just a lot of technical reading and I didn't want to mess it up. Maybe I was too tired from all the walking, LOL! We cooked all our meals and everything we needed for cooking was available. Thanks again! (sorry we had to mark to a 4 because of lack of heat; but thank you for the many options available to keep us warm)

Great 4 days on this private and quite property. Plenty of room for 11 guests, 6 adults and 5 children - 13 years to four months. Lots of activities for all of us to enjoy from boating, fishing, tennis, ping pong, biking etc. Pretty much stayed there the whole time.

Great Experience
Overall, a great experience. Here's our families "Pros/Cons" list. Pros: --Kitchen is ridiculously stocked with everything you need --The home is well decorated and maintained. Clean. Old barnwood decor throughout. It's awesome --The sand area and hammock were appreciated and well used. --Lots of land, means no near neighbors. Can spread out a bit. --Lots of activities with tennis court. Lots of places to go isolate if that's your jam --Great communication from owner --very reasonable pontoon rental rate Cons: --I found the mattress in the "southwestern" decorated room very uncomfortable (possibly personal preference) --The house is noisy, you can hear through walls/doors/floor pretty easily --Fishing wasn't good (not fault of owners) --Lake is unusually shallow and weed growth was excessive (not fault of owners) --Can't really swim off/around the dock, needed to go out in the pontoon In short, things that the owners had control of were exceptional. We had a great time, and appreciate your home being opened up to our family.

Bachelorette of my dreams!
I had my bachelorette party here and there were 17 of us and fit us all SO comfortably. Like there was soooo much sleeping space and just hanging out space!!! The yard is incredible and so is the beach. I couldn’t have asked for a better place. Kari was helpful and awesome for anything we needed. Perfect home and very close to night life too!

Quiet seclusion in a beautiful setting
We knew we'd pick the right place for our vacation when we drove down the long, wooded driveway to arrive at Red Sand Retreat. It offered comfortable, clean accommodations, in a very peaceful, private and serene setting. Our three grandsons particularly enjoyed being able to spend time on the pontoon boat. Kari is an excellent host.

Description of 4 bedrooms was deceiving.
Bedroom on the top floor had a tall ladder to climb up into it. NOT suitable entry for adults. Thus we were short one bedroom for our married children, Apartment unit over garage had a musty and strong gasoline odor from the equipment stored beneath. We enjoyed the hot tub! Normally not available during summer, but available for our stay.- We used daily. Master Bedroom suite was excellent. The 2 queen bed mattresses are worn out and need replacing.
