Returned and not sorry

We stayed here 7 years ago and loved it so when we decided to stay in MN this year it was an easy choice to return to Big Sugar Bush. The cabin accomodates our group well. Nice living/dining room, good kitchen, main level bedroom and large 2nd floor sleeping area. Only challenge is just 1 bathroom on the main level. Beach is sandy and no quick dropoff. We had good luck fishing from the dock. Rented the pontoon for the week. Ping pong in the basement was a hit as was corn bag toss. Plenty of firewood available. A fairly short drive up the road to a gas/grocery store, a liquor store, and an ice cream shop. Inatruction for handling garbage and recycles was good. TV and Internet were reliable. Host Plenny lives next door which is convenient. Know that her garden is at this rental location.

A much needed reset!!

We had a great time at this cabin. The cabin was fully stocked with everything one would need. The fishing was amazing!! We canoed, got to watch fledgling bald eagle getting ready to leave their nest. Penny was a great host who was sweet enough to even offer us fresh produce from her garden while we were there. This would be a place we will visit again.

Always a great stay!

We keep returning every summer because this place has everything we need. The house is comfortable and clean, kitchen well stocked, the property is private and surrounded by trees, and our kids love the sandy beach. We love using the hammock, kayak, canoe, and fire pit too. This year we got to enjoy the screen porch and we spent a lot of time out there playing games and watching some tv. Thank you, Penny, for the great stay!

LOVE it here!! 😁

This is our 2nd trip to this cabin. Such a wonderful trip and cabin! Our kids had tons of fun at the beach, and many awesome family memories were made! A new addition to the property is a beautiful 3 season screened in porch with fan, lights and table and chairs. Our daughters had a super fun picnic in there while my wife and I had lunch on the deck. If I could give this cabin 10 stars instead of 5 I would! Very happy!! 😁👍

Beautiful beach

This is a great property. The lake is clear and clean and great for swimming. A really beautiful sandy beach that's great for lounging and for dogs and kids to splash around in all day. The house was clean and well-stocked. Even had a blender for us to have a margarita night!

Lovely beach

We really enjoyed the on site sandy beach. The cabin is remote enough that you don't see other neighboring cabins even though there are many cabins on the lake. Wifi was good enough to watch TV. Caught fish right off the dock. They are building a screen house that will be great to use when completed. Deck and patio furniture it very comfortable. Cabin had everything we needed for cooking.

A perfect stay

This was our second time at the cabin. It checks all the boxes for us. Cozy, well stocked cabin with comfortable beds. Private sandy beach for the kids to play and swim, canoe and kayak, fire pit for s’mores, ping pong in the basement, and tv with Netflix for rainy days. Penny is a great host and our kids love when her dog Tigger comes by for a visit. We already booked our week for next summer and are excited to use to the new screen porch being built!

Beautiful

Beautiful property. Everything you could want or need was there. You can tell Penny takes great care of the property. We had a blast fishing off the dock. Fishing off the boat we didn't catch much! Made smores in the fire pit. We all had a very relaxing fun time! My daughter and I fell in love with Tigger the pup. Thanks for a great stay.

Peaceful getaway

Had a wonderful time with our family at this property. Enjoyed mornings watching all the various birds over the lake, enjoyed a campfire by the beach, and made some fantastic family memories on this trip. This property has everything you need…even a mini crockpot. No need to worry about bringing towels, cooking gear etc., it is all there and in perfect working order. The property owner was a delight to work with. Can’t wait to come back to enjoy this property again.

Log cabin retreat

We had a great time during our second trip to this cabin! The property is beautiful and secluded and the cabin has everything you could need -- including a great view of the lake and fall colors. Penny is a great host and goes the extra mile. We've spent our anniversary here and plan to keep coming back. You won't be disappointed!

About the host

Hosted by Penny Aguirre

My parents came to sugarbush when I was a youngster more than 30 some years ago and I now have a home there as do many of my relatives. It was such a gift to know and love this lake. I also own the local winery, Richwood Winery, and spend most of the summer in paradise.

Why they chose this property

My parent's home is special as it has a sandy beach , which is rare in this tree-lined , often steep banked lake. It is has been completely updated to provide modern conveniences while keeping the charm of the log cabin in the woods that my parents created.

What makes this property unique

One of the cleanest lakes in Minnesota. Pontoon available for rent (the preferred method of cruising the lake), a canoe and kayak available for free on the beach, very quiet and isolated on a private dead end road. Dogs are welcome and because it is so isolated, most have been able to freely run round without worry. Fiber Internet, Netflix, UTube TV, blue ray are also there if you want it.
To be on one of the best swimming lakes in Minnesota with abundant wild life is an experience I want to share with others.
