Would you like to rent a beautiful lake home that has sandy frontage for a reasonable price? Take a closer look at this northern Minnesota retreat!

Please Note: Our 2007 26' luxury pontoon is also available for rent at $995 per week. Dozens of pictures are available upon request. Want to hire a local fishing guide? There are a couple of locals that you can hire that will take you out and show you all of the hot spots for an additional reasonable fee.

We are on BEAUTIFUL Big Sandy Lake; a 6000 acre premier lake just 2 hours North of the Cities in Aitkin County. There are 250 lakes in our county! Because of its size and beauty, Big Sandy Lake is at the top of the desired place to own in the county (represented by the highest land values). You will understand why when you visit this wonderful lake.

Our 4000 square foot home has spectacular views and was built in 2000 with 1st class construction through and through. It is situated on a 8.5 acre lot with a wide sandy swimmable shoreline that has that Northern MN feel. The lot is wrapped by trees including tall pines, maples, birch, oaks and aspens to give you that "Up North" feel. If you are looking for privacy, our 1200 foot driveway and 300 foot wide treed lot will fit the bill!

This home features an indoor hot tub, sauna, home theater, custom bar and much much more. We decorated entirely with cabin accents throughout which transforms this lake house internally into a elegant cabin. Walls, ceilings, and floors are accented with maple, hickory, aspen, oak, cedar, hemlock, pine and ash. The result is a warm comfortable yet elegant feel. Every bed was hand made from log and all of the bedrooms have custom log dressers as well. You will never want to leave.

We stocked our 2nd home with blenders, toasters, coffee grinders, games and other accouterments that you would expect in this caliber of home.

Rates are based off of a 4 person occupancy. Add $15 per person per day for additional people including children. The decor and fabrics are not toddler friendly and you would not enjoy yourself while you worry about those little hands getting into all of the interesting accents. :) Hence, the minimum age in the party is 7 years old. Add $150 for the final cleaning.

Sorry: No young adults without your parents. Our home is pet free and smoke free. You are welcome to kennel your pet in the garage or outdoors but they cannot enter the home.

Local Area:

Our home is located on Big Sandy Lake which is just 7 miles north of McGregor MN or 40 minutes south of Grand Rapids off of highway 65. Big Sandy is a 6500 acre lake with several bays and over 78 miles of sandy shoreline. When you add in two rivers and a small attached lake, the total areas is over 10,000 acres. You will never get bored of the incredible views; you can snowmobile or boat for hours on end.

Once you head north of McGregor MN, the landscape transforms into that northern Minnesota feel which is adjacent to Savannah State Forest where you will find beautiful trails for walking and snowmobiling in the winter.

When you get hungry, visit one of the 5 restaurants that are located on this premier lake. There is a 27 hole championship golf course minutes up the road called Minnesota National. Visit their new 18,000 square foot lodge style club house with finer dining.

Big Sandy is famous for its large pan fish. The DNR has stocked the lake with walleyes. It is common for people to catch walleyes and crappies right off of our dock.

  • We spend a quiet week hunting with our Son's. The weather was perfect and there was no shortage of deer around the area. We saw 7 right on the property! This spot is 1st class! We loved the see through fireplace as well as the sauna and whirlpool. If you are looking for privacy with a unbelievable bay view,this one is worth considering.

  • We stayed and Steve and Sherry's lake home in early September of 2009 and we will re-booked in 2010. The pictures don't do it justice as we were very pleased with all of the amenities. We got a couple of windy cooler days so the hot tub and sauna warmed us up. There are so many places to eat on and around the lake. You won't get board on the water because it is such a large body of water with three rivers, many islands and several bays. The guys limited out on Crappie's three days in a row. We relaxed and enjoyed the views from this private retreat. Highly recommended!! Tanya

  • My family of 4 stayed in this beautiful, spacious home for a week in August 2009. We had fabulous weather for our vacation so we were able to thoroughly enjoy playing in the lake. However, if the weather hadn't cooperated, we would never have been bored at this home...the hot tub, sauna, and games galore would have kept my family entertained. We had a great time at this home and plan to return for another vacation!

  • We had our annual "girls weekend" at this lovely home and we couldn't have asked for anything more. The cabin and property were both beautiful. The views were stunning. The owners have most certainly have made this a place you'd want to return to again and again. Thank you for making your home available...it's much more than expected.

  • We stayed in cabin with two other couples for a get-away weekend in March 09. We were amazed at all the space. Very clean, well kept. Nicely decorated. Enjoyed the indoor sauna and hot tub. The cabin has a very private feel to it! Would love to return in the summer. Enjoyed all the little bar and grills in the area.

  • My family of 4 spent a week's summer vacation at this beautiful large lake home along with my parents and my 2 sisters and their spouses with plenty of room to spare. Most of our days were spent down at the lake which has a small private sandy beach area and in the evenings we enjoyed sunsets in the screened in porch and played games at the large dining room table. A very nice place to stay.

  • We rented this home over the Valentine's day weekend. There were 5 couples and we had an absolute ball! We took advantage of the the suana and hot tub, as it was an exceptionally cold weekend! We would love to make another reservation for the same time next year and hopefully for years to come! We highly recommend this VRBO!

  • Steve asked if I would put some feedback on this site.... My wife and I spent a week in February playing in the snow. :) The trail system was fantastic especially in the Savannah State Park. There were no surprises. We needed a winter getaway simply to relax, snowmobile, and fish. The girls were happy just to relax in the hot tub and sauna. Steve was attentive to all of my questions. We plan on re-visiting next winter.
