Perfect cabin for our family vacation. Beautiful views of the lake, great fishing, wonderful cabin, lots of lake activities (kayaks, paddleboards, canoe), well kept, quiet property. The boat rental option was a major bonus. Jonathan was very responsive and easy to work with. We even added an extra day because we had such a great time. We would definitely like to come back.

We hope to make this an annual trip, our stay was truly nothing short of perfect and only left us with wishing we would have booked a longer stay. Jonathon was truly the best host! Extremely friendly, accommodating, flexible with check-in and check-out since no guests were before or after us, and very responsive! Also, Sand Lake is gorgeous, my in-laws have been coming here their whole life. This stay allowed them to reminisce in the true serenity of the north woods on a lake that shimmers like glass!
Water is truly so calm it looks like a mirror almost all the time!

The pictures and description of the property are exactly what you get. Place was comfortable, the loft with extra bed was cozy with a pretty view. Jonathan was very easy to communicate with and quick to answer questions. Loved the speaker system which was set to a great country station that was on so all we had to do is turn the little knobs around the house. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect for us!

This property was exactly as described. It worked perfect for our family. Our daughters and partners shared the loft with a baby too. The location on Sand Lake is just what we wanted and we were comfortable and had everything we needed.

Relaxation

I can’t say enough good things about this cabin. The location is excellent, the inside is more perfect than pictures can describe. The surround sound all over the cabin and the garage was a huge bonus. So many activities to do without having to leave. The water was crystal clear. The owner was always willing to answer questions in a very timely fashion. A We will be renting again.

Exceptionally clean

Very clean property! Super easy check in and Jonathon was super easy to work with. Loved the flexible check in time! Pet friendly was a huge perk and there is plenty of yard space for a fire, bags game, or just relaxing. The property shares a dock/beach area with a second cabin located directly on the water . There is plenty of space for multiple families at the water. the lower property does have the best access, but the upper property has a great view and excellent deck to enjoy a book on.

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan Haag

Host profile image
Hello everyone! My name is Jonathan. I am an Eau claire native, lived all over the country over the years, spend some time in the military and found my way back to the midwest after all this time! Most of my life I have been on the lake with the family in this area and im excited to share my properties with you all to share in the joy of the lake.

Why they chose this property

This part of Wisconsin has been enjoyed by my family for many years and boasts great fishing, both in the Summer and Winter to ice fish. There are ATV trails close by for all your toys, restaurants and bars are close by as well, and great cell service if you want to stay connected to some of the world.

What makes this property unique

The Lodge give you that cabin feel without sacraficing some of the finer things in life. It was build in the early 2000's with great detail. Lodge comes with radiant heat which is super cozy in the winter, washer/dryer, wifi internet and a smart tv for watching movies at night. There is plenty of patio area to spend dinner outside or just enjoy nature. Best thing is you simply walk across the street and enjoy the lake with your own private dock(spring to fall).
