Sand Lake Scandinavian style home
The setting and the property were beautiful. The house was well stocked with cooking items and towels. Management was quick to respond to our questions regarding the property. The pier supported our 18ft sport fish boat well. We had a lot of fun on the water.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was better than expected. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We had a lot of fun with the ping pong table in the basement. The dock was nice and had a ladder that you could climb right into the clear lake water. We loved using the included kayaks, and when we discovered that one of the paddles was missing, our host immediately had 2 new paddles delivered. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this property for anyone looking for a lakehouse vacation.

Absolutely wonderful home! We enjoyed the ping pong table and the outside fire pit. Sand lake is beautiful and easily navigable. Our hosts, Peter and Heidi were always available by phone or text messaging. Nicely located with a short drive to local gas station and about 15 minutes to Hayward.

Relaxing Getaway
What a great time at Heidi and Peter‘s place! Checkin was super easy. Everything was as advertised and the family all had a great time. The home was very clean, well furnished, and comfortable. We really enjoyed the location, close to Stone Lake and many of our fave restaurants. My wife and I also loved walking and biking on the low traveled roads around the property.
We are definitely looking forward to a return trip in 2023!!

A new tradition
I cannot say enough about our lovely trip to the North woods! My family of eight loved it and wants to visit yearly. The home was comfortable, easy to find, and stocked with little extras. The owners were very attentive and kind. The lake is super clean(though definitely rocky). We enjoyed all this cabin had to offer, and hope to be back for many years to come.

Suberb!
We had an awesome time at this property! Owners were so easy to work with and there was great communication. When we got there, everything was exactly as described. It was very clean. The beds were amazing. We were aware of the rocky bottom so we brought water shoes which worked out perfect. The fishing was great and got to see lots of creatures. There was even an otter that swam around every evening. The family agreed we would definitely stay again! Thanks so much!

Cute place, super clean lake!
We had a lovely time during our stay. Heidi was a great host!! The home was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The appliances (stove, grill, washer/dryer) appeared to be new and really nice quality. Lots of natural light coming in through the windows. Tap water was good (no weird smell, taste or color). The lake water was clean and great for swimming. The bottom was a little rocky (bring swim shoes) BUT the rocks kept the weeds away, which was wonderful. Overall this was a great choice!!

We had a great 2 weeks! The care to make it dog friendly was 1st rate! Dog blankets, dog bowls, gates on the deck to keep the pup contained. The house was perfectly clean! Kitchen supplies for cooking were just right. Everything we needed to create meals. The firewood stacked and dry was a nice touch. The fire ring was awesome and a great place to view sunsets across the lake. Thank you for a great vacation!

Everything you Need!
Peter & Heidi were so kind and helpful from the beginning. EVERYTHING other than food is thoughtfully tucked away in this cabin! Our family of 4 and our pup enjoyed a week relaxing on the beautiful deck, the screened in patio (in the hanging chairs), playing games in the living room, grilling on the huge Weber grill (plenty of propane was provided for the week), or reading one of the many books in the house! The attached dock was an easy drive over from the Sand Lake public landing! It was so nice to walk down the steps and be right on the lake!

Birkie week cabin
We’ve stayed here for Birkie Week for the last few years, and as always, we had a great time and the cabin was perfect for our family and friends. We enjoyed using the brand new range and noticed some other updates, like new flooring in the hallway and two of the main floor bedrooms, and new carpet on the stairs to the loft. The garage has a large snowblower that made clearing 10+ of fresh snow easy. We also borrowed the snowshoes to tromp around on the lake. We are looking forward to returning next year!

About the host
Hosted by Peter Stark & Heidi Kempcke
Well, we would have put our own photos in as "owners" but that wouldn't have been exactly true. We're really just life support for Rufus - our only modestly spoiled chocolate lab - and he's really the one who "owns" our life so it seemed more appropriate for him to represent us on VRBO. And, yes, he absolutely loves it here.
Our Sand Lake home was built by Art and Mary Ann Kempcke pretty much from the ground up and has been a part of the family for more than 30 years. It retains much of the feel of a Swedish "stuga" or lake home in accordance with Mary Ann's Swedish ancestry and carries the name "Seeblick" ("Lake View") as a nod to Art's German heritage. When Art and Mary Ann decided to move closer to their grandchildren in the Twin Cities, their daughter Heidi and her husband Peter purchased the house to keep it in the family.
Heidi and Peter live predominantly in Minneapolis, although both are fully engaged professionally - Heidi as a management consultant and Peter as a University professor - and travel a fair bit. When time permits - and the home is available - they spend time here ... Rufus wouldn't have it any other way.

Why they chose this property
Seeblick is a unique combination of rustic and civilized. It provides the opportunity to spend time outdoors in the great northern Wisconsin woods or on/in Sand Lake and then return to a convenient, comfortable and relaxing indoor retreat to recharge and refresh. We love the ability to spend the day out in the woods with Rufus and then enjoy sunset on the deck with a wine and cheese.
What makes this property unique
It's hard not to love the location. Seeblick is perfect for accessing the Birkebeiner trails (winter and summer), any number of forest trails or lakes, great restaurants and, our favorite, great sunsets.
