About this property

Beautiful Big Sandy Lakehome

Spacious, year round lake home on beautiful Big Sandy Lake in Northern Minnesota. Our cabin is located in a private setting positioned on the north shore of Big Sandy. Lake home is located just north of McGregor, Minnesota, conveniently 2-2.5 hours north of the Twin Cities.

This is a 2 level home with 3 spacious bedrooms and 4 bathrooms that comfortably sleeps 8. It has a fully equipped kitchen, large dining room table and open living room. The large master bedroom with on suite is located on the main level and walks out onto a spacious deck with 2 loungers over looking the lake. On the lower level is another living room, large sunken bar with lake views, 2 more roomy bedrooms and 2 more bathrooms (one is an on suite). From the lower level you can access a huge stone patio with 2 gas grills, a table and chairs, loungers and a fire pit (*lower level wood burning fireplace is not for guest use). The patio has beautiful views of the lake.

There are hand laid stone stairs or an electric tram to bring you down to the lake. We have a dock you can tie your boat up to, but we do not rent out our boat. There are a couple of places that rent boats in our area. However, we do have 2 kayaks and a paddle board for your enjoyment. The lakeshore has a sandy bottom and is perfect for swimming.

This amazing region is incredibly beautiful, awe-inspiring and is loaded with unique and fun activities and adventures. You can swim, fish, bike, canoe, boat, eat in or out, golf, shop, snowmobile, ATV, plus see wildlife views throughout expansive public parks and land.
Big Sandy Lake is an amazing size lake at just over 6,500 acres. It's big enough to water ski, tube, jet-ski, fish, etc. It is clean, sandy and loaded with fish. It also has a sandbar for recreation during hot summer days, as well as 6 restaurants and bars that are accessible by boat.

This cabin is perfect for a family-fun filled getaway anytime of year!

Beautiful spot on Big Sandy
Held a family get together to celebrate a very special birthday ~ very clean, plenty of room to host, well-appointed in/out all the way around, lovely property and lake view, great patio for nightly fire pit with plenty of stocked firewood provided. Excellent fishing on this side of lake, and close to many local favorites.

Amazing Property - Very Clean - great for large groups!
This property is beautiful, very clean, and property owners provided many supplies you usually need to bring when renting a which was a huge bonus (paper products, coffee, some spices and cooking supplies, bug spray, laundry soap, etc). This was a perfect property for our large 3 family group (10 people - 6 adults - 2 teens - 2 toddlers under 3). Only concern that families with toddlers (under 3) need to know is that there is a very steep cliff in the backyard. We had 2 people watching the youngest at all times outside.

Property was lovely, would rent again
The property was as described, very clean and has a wonderful view of the lake. The home is very spacious and nice. The bedding and towels were very plush/new and the pillows and blankets were nice, as expected for a nice rental such as this. The kitchen was very well equipment and the appliances were very nice! The owners had plenty of paper products on hand, plus Ziploc bags, extra soaps, laundry detergent, etc. It was nice not to have to pack so much. They really have the home equipped for use. Owners were very communicative and allowed an early check in as it was December 24th, which we appreciated. They kept us informed on the snow removal (we got a lot of it, and it was cold.) The only disappointing thing was that we could not use the wood fireplace. I can understand it, but we had hoped to have a nice wood fire. The gas fireplaces worked well as a substitute. The warm garage was nice to use over the holidays. We didn't get the enjoy the lake but it looks like a great place to vacation in the summer. This property felt very homey, and we enjoyed it very much! I highly recommend this property and the owners who were very approachable and helpful.
