We had a good time! It was kind of a shock to see the water was across the busy highway as from the pictures it looked like it was in the backyard. There were neighbors who came onto the property looking for their little dog consistently, walking in the garage and around the house, we chatted with the owner of the VRBO and they have taken care of this issue. We also were a little sad that there was no firewood in any of the sheds for us to use like it was stated so we had to drive into town to get our own bundles. Otherwise it was a great stay, wonderful comfy beds, and having a cool basement for hot days was nice!
Had a wonderful time on Sand Lake! I was initially disappointed that the lake access was across the road, but it was fine. The grandkids know never to cross a road without an adult, so it was a perfect barrier to the lake for them. The sand and shallow water went on forever and they absolutely loved being able to jump off the dock all the way to the end. We didn't have to worry about them taking the floaties too far out and they loved trying to catch minnows. The configuration of the house was perfect for 4 adults and 2 kids. We had everything we needed. Enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend it.
Our large group stayed at the cabin while in town for a Menâs Hockey Tournament. The cabin was perfect for our group, good location for Stone Lake and Hayward, and easy access. There was plenty of space and the coordination of the cabin by Cassidy was great. Location was quiet, yet accessible. Would highly recommend, it was perfect for our group.
We had a lovely and cozy stay! The backyard was just amazing and peaceful...had everything we could want. Only downfall was the mattresses in the bunkroom....very uncomfortable and one of the beds broke. Otherwise, a super place!
The house was nice but very small and it was hot with only a portable air conditioner upstairs. We used fans also trying to cool the place down. There was 11 of us and it was not comfortable. It is not suitable for large groups unless you stay outside. We made the best of our stay by going out and
about. The family was not happy with the lodging. The host did respond quickly but there wasn't anything she could do about the hot house. We went on the Pizza Train and the whole group enjoyed it. Also you will enjoy the serene view of Lake Superior. Totally wort the 2 hour ride.

This cabin was a perfect fit for our family of 14, ranging in age from 1 to 60. There was plenty of room for all of us, the yard was HUGE, and the hosts were so responsive and friendly. Sand Lake was fun for fishing and the sandbar at the dock made for a great place for all our young ones to play in the water safely. They had everything we needed for a great vacation.
My family stayed here for a family reunion. There were people ages 1-71 and all enjoyed the cabin. The yard was large and spacious for the littles to play in and the fire pit was a great place to gather. The house itself was a bit cozy for the 13 of us, but everything else made up for it! The hosts were very nice and accommodating and we appreciate their communication and thoughtfulness. Was a wonderful week overall!
Pros; location was perfect, close enough for a few activities off the property we took advantage of the antique shops, go carts, playground down the road, the Hayward beach for a change of scenery and the âmusky museum â was a huge hit with our fishing obsessed kids.
The lake was crystal clear, depth was great for little ones, kayakers loved having a few more boats to use. (We brought a couple of our own) and the peddle boat was fun.
The kitchen was well equipped. We prepared and ate every meal at the cabin, my daughter only missed having wooden spoons. Coffee bar was a great idea and was used quite often.
The yard is huge, we spent hours on the front deck and around the fire pit in back.
Beds were comfy.
Bonus points for the amazing wood work!
Cons: We happened to be staying on a 4 day heat wave and the portable AC was trying but just couldnât keep up.
The lake is across a busy 55 MPH highway with a blind hill, thankfully the house sits very far back from the road-we only had a couple of times when a âbig kidâ (11) tried to cross by himself and we panicked.
The lake depth was great for the little ones, but we had a 22 ft bass boat and had to wade about 200 ft to the anchored boat. Plus, the hassle of bringing the boat back to the house each night.
The cons didnât seem to matter too much once we got into our time together. Our entire family really enjoyed everything about our stay and we made many fantastic memories!
This house is the perfect location for snowmobiling as the trail is just out the back door, and the gas station/mini mart is only 1/2 mile away by trail. The owners quickly respond to your questions and were very accommodating, when we arrived at the house it was very clean and perfectly stocked with items.
We had a group of 4 guys so we had plenty of room to stretch out!
I would definitely stay here again!
Super great property! We had 12 of us together for 4 days, and this space held us well. Definitely on our list to come back to! Was very clean and smelled very nice. We enjoyed our stay, and recommend this to others!
This was a wonderful place for us to get all of our family together for the weekend. we planned on having 11 of us, but ended up with 9. We had fun in the huge backyard playing yard games, grilling, and just sitting around the campfire making smores, and just relaxing. Some of us went on walks on the trail that goes along the back of the property. We took my boat out a couple of times. The wind was blowing pretty hard so the lake was ruff, making it hard to fish. The water is shallow around the dock making it difficult to get the boat in and out. Had to push the boat with a paddle out far enough to get the motor down. It's close enough to Hayward to drive in to see attractions and shop there.
Very beautiful cabin. Loved the kitchen and basement. Very well stocked appliances and dishes. Kids loved the kayaks and lake area. The pellet grill is very nice and easy to use. Tons of seating outside and fire pits at the cabin and by the lake. Great storage in garage and plenty of parking. The only drawback is if you have a large boat, the lake in this location is very shallow. We were not able to dock there (18' lund). If the dock is extended in the future it would not be an issue. Was very comfortable for the 8 of us. Good communication with the property manager.
16 family members, aging in range from 7-90, stayed 4 nights in this beautiful cabin. It was sometimes quite âcozyâ because of the number of adults vs children. It would be ideal for 2-3 families with 6-8 children. We made the best of it and spent lots of time outside or down at the lake. We enjoyed the outside games provided, as well as the kayaks and paddle boat. Owners were fantastic and always communicated in a timely manner.
Would absolutely recommend this cabin to others. House is in a great location, near many amenities and activities. The owners have put much care into the renovation. They were also quite attentive to any questions and/or requests that arose during our stay. We had enough space for 9 of us plus our dog. We enjoyed the lake for jet skiing, kayaks, canoes and fishing. Plus the backyard offered a play area for both adults and kids.
We had a great time! Cassidy was very responsive with any questions we had prior to our trip. Everything at the property met our expectations, based on the booking listing!
