Adorable Property and Cabin

Peaceful, pretty, tasteful combination of cabin in nature. The owners have done an excellent job of providing a stay mindful of quality, comfort, fun and necessity while respecting the true cabin experience and natural landscape of the property. There’s room to explore, roam a bit and relax with a private dock and ample yard space with enough tree coverage to feel private from neighbors who aren’t too close at all. Our pup loved the yard and pointed out all the wildlife he could find before tuckering out for naps. The cabin is sweet, nostalgic, clean and comfortable – woodsy with whimsy and functionality with fun, solid workmanship. People at nearby businesses were so friendly when we stopped for supplies and Owner, Sammie was great at communicating details ahead and assuring us he was only a call or message away if we had questions or needed anything while we were there. We didn’t; it was perfect. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful view

Cute cabin with gorgeous view. The bed and couch were very comfy, and it was fairly private! The lake is very nice for boating and swimming from pontoons, but not beach swimming, just as an fyi.

Nice old school cabin

Great location on the lake in a quite bay. The 2 beds were comfortable The bunk house was cozy Nice big windows in cabin and bunk house Half the window did not open all the way due to something in the way. Old school cabin feel. Wish we knew you have to park 120 feet away and carry everything down a steep hill. Driveway from the street could be a challenge with out 4 wheel drive. My family had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Sammie Olson

We live and work in the Twin Cities with 2 kids and our 2 dogs. We have rented many VRBO's over the last 10 years and have always dreamed of sharing our own property with others.

Why they chose this property

This property is special. It's nestled privately on 3 lots (!) in a bay, that has a comfortable and cozy feel. Coupled with its' easy access from the Twin Cities and our love for all Big Sandy has to offer - we look forward to sharing this great escape with others.
