About the host

Hosted by Sue Macauley

Host profile image
We love the area and Sand Lake. We bought our cottage 15 years ago and decided to build a home to retire in the area. The cottage is next door to our home.
We have been renting for 10 years, word of mouth and return guests. We are new to VRBO

Why they chose this property

Sand Lake is a beautiful glacier nature lake. Although its a public lake, we have limited boats allowed per day. Lots of wildlife to see on and around the lake.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is updated with conveniences but maintains a cottage feel. The home is extremely clean.
