WHY YOU SHOULD RENT THIS CABIN
Experience cabin life at its finest when you come and stay at our
amazing cabin! Perfect for a family retreat or get-away with friends!

Our log home was built in 2006 with 6 bedrooms and 6 baths. It is located approximately 2.5 hours from the Twin Cities on Big Sandy Lake, which is just north of McGregor, MN. The cabin is near Duluth and Brainerd. This property is ideal for all seasons and activities from water activities in the summer to enjoying the changing colors of the leaves in the fall.

This property is situated on the north shore of Big Sandy Lake with a gradual slope from the cabin down to the lake (allowing for an incredible view!) It has 285 feet of private lake shore & 2 sandy beach areas. The lake is 6000+ acres with lots of shoreline, many interesting islands & bays to explore.

The 6000 square foot - 3 level home features 6 bedrooms ( of which 2 are family suites), 6 bathrooms , 1.5 kitchens, a large dining room, great room, loft, screened 3 season porch, family room, game room with pool, ping pong & poker tables. The home has beds for 14, and has slept many more by utilizing the sofa sleeper, futon, 2 twin inflatable beds & the 2 twin high density foam mattresses. The bedroom arrangements include 1 King bedroom with a twin bed, 2 Queen suites with two side by side twin beds in the adjoining room, and an additional Queen bedroom with a twin bed.

The indoor living spaces are spectacular; with huge windows, vaulted cedar ceilings, log walls, and 2 wood-burning fireplaces. The craftsmanship & attention to detail are first class. The layout allows you to have your own space, and there are many wonderful common areas in which to gather.

The outdoor spaces are fantastic. The 1.5 acre lot has a beautiful double row of pines trees for added privacy on all sides except the lake side. There are many mighty oaks, paper birch, & maple trees that frame our lake home. The landscape has a good balance of being left natural as well as having green grass cleared areas.

The roomy deck and the screen porch are excellent choices to enjoy a great view of the lake. The back porch is a good location to enjoy the beauty of the woods. In the evening you might decide to utilize the fire pit down by the water. There is space at the dock for you to bring your own boat (sorry, we cannot allow Jet/Wave boats). There are public launches in the area. We have a fishing boat (no motor), 2 kayaks & a canoe that are provided at no charge for your enjoyment. The grounds are well cared for and provide the perfect opportunity for yard games and for children to roam and play.

There is a nearby Minnesota National Golf Course and Savanna Portage State Park.
The golf course is an 18 hole championship course that has five tee boxes for any skill level.

There are restaurants & bars that you can boat or drive to near and on the lake.

Book with us and make some memories!

*** The average price per night is based on 8 guests. There is an additional fee of $25.00 per guest per night after 8 guests with a maximum of 16 total guests.

Picture Perfect

Absolutely beautiful property. Picture perfect view out the main living room huge windows. Countless hours spent watching the breath taking view. Fully stocked kitchen. Many games played using the amenities downstairs. Immaculate specious cabin. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was a luxury. More then enough seating in all areas of the house and outdoors. Close to the grocery/liquor store and coffee shop. Great small town experience with fantastic service and smiles. We had a peaceful and great stay. Wonderful communication with owners. Our family truly enjoyed our stay. A memorable annual family vacation that was genuinely more memorable by such a fantastic cabin.

Our Big Sandy Lake Summer 2021 Family Vacation on Indian Shores

This beautiful log home and lakefront property with two beaches was spectacular in size and design and was fully utilized and enjoyed by the entire family during our week-long stay. A few of the highlights were the overwhelming experience of the August blue moon over the water and sitting around the campfire on the beach. In addition, an afternoon pontoon rental was nicely accommodated by the easy dock access, and the unsurpassed, open view of the lake provided by the completely glassed front of the cabin was truly a joy and is an image we can treasure having experienced. It enabled us to relax and de-charge from our usual busy daily lives (and overrode the long drive down the dusty, curved and hilly, gravel road to reach the property). Our family enjoys sharing the meal preparation and appreciated that the kitchen was fully stocked with all the tools we needed to share our culinary skills with each other. In addition, the linens were clean and abundant, and the on-site laundry facilities were top notch. The six bathrooms were a welcome and much appreciated convenience. The basement bedrooms were very comfortable and we were able to adjust the temperature for our comfort. The use of the carnival-size popcorn maker was great fun, and the basement game room where it is located is second to none. We played cards and pool there. However, the stairs and upper level 'balcony' (along with the otherwise convenient beach access) presented a constant challenge to the safety of the infant and preschoolers, who required constant supervision and vigilance. Even with the use of baby gates, the rails overlooking the floor below and along the stairway to the upper bedrooms were spaced in a way that would allow children to accidentally slide through and fall to the floor and stairs below, making this a challenge for our family. (I reluctantly admit that perhaps this property would be better suited for adult-only groups.)

Beautiful Big Sandy Lake Wood Cabin

This log cabin is absolutely beautiful! It has 6 bedrooms and six baths and a beautiful view of the lake. It has plenty of space and was comfortable for our family party of 14. It also comes with two kayaks, a canoe and a fishing rowboat and a dock, which we took advantage of them all. We were taken by surprise when we realized that for two of the bedrooms you had to go through the main bedroom to get to the smaller bedroom. To be fair, when we went back and read the property description it did explain that a Bedroom Suite is situated that way. When we looked at other properties, this is what a Bedroom Suite is described as, you have to go through a main bedroom to get to the smaller bedroom. We worked it out, but it was a surprise. Now we know the VRBO nomenclature. We really liked that there was a large kitchen and a pantry and an extra refrigerator. Also, a large, commercial size Washer and Dryer. One downstairs bedroom has the hardware for the cistern and there was a sewage smell in that bedroom. The owners were always very prompt in getting back to us when we had any questions, both before the rental dates and during.

Wonderful spot for a large family gathering

Huge, clean and comfortable cabin. We have stayed here more than five times for a family reunion. It has so many bedrooms and bathrooms that everyone has their own space. The newly remodeled kitchen is wonderful as is the sandy beach for the kids. Will definitely stay again.

Perfect vacation.... and we caught some nice fish.

The home was everything that was advertise. Very spacious, well maintain and clean ready for us to enjoy our family vacation. The log cabin was designed with activities in mind. Bedrooms were located to maximize privacy for families and suitable for small children. Very safe. The game areas, pool table, cards table, ping pong and tv could keep a crowd happily busy. This will be the vacation our kids will always remember. The cabin: if you wanted to build a log cabin, this is the cabin you would want to visit for ideas. The lighting, plumbing and heating worked well, was laid out to facilitate the different activities and was labeled to make turning on and off easy. The appliances and kitchen tools were all in good condition. Overall, great vacation location for multiple families. Excellent condition, clean and well maintained inside and out. The owner was very good to work with. Definitely a 5+ star in all categories.

Excellent family cabin!

Excellent property for our family stay! Spacious, clean and stocked with everything we needed. The only thing that was a slight negative was that there were big rocks you had to step on to get into the water that hurt the little one's feet. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and family.
