Beautiful Lake Front Home

Andrea has the most beautiful home located right on the lake. She is incredible responsive and welcoming! Somehow the home is even more beautiful in person - and it is incredible looking in the pictures!

Cabin getaway

The property was beautiful but not easy to find as our GPS routes us to a minimum maintenance road to get there. The house was immaculate and we had all we needed. It was as we expected it to be and more. The sunroom was our favorite spot to relax. I would definitely recommend and book again.

Beautiful Location and Home

We had a wonderful stay on Big Sandy Lake. The home was so lovely and perfect for our adult family of 6. We were able to go boating, kayaking, fishing, and play many rounds of golf. The home has plenty of amenities- kayaks, dock, swim pad, fire pit, yard games, indoor games, hammock… Andrea was a great host - very communicative. We had a great time and made lots of good memories. I hope to return many times. I highly recommend it.

Perfect Week on the Lake

This is a great house to enjoy the water. It is located in a calm section of the lake, and with a sandy bottom, was great for kids. We spent most of the week swimming, fishing, SUPing, and enjoying campfires while watching beautiful sunsets. Highly recommend renting a pontoon at the nearby Resort to appreciate the full scope of the lake. The house itself was perfect. Very clean and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. Lots of puzzles and board games to entertain on a rainy morning. We loved the sun room and eating out on the deck. Owner was very responsive before, during, and after our stay.

Tower Pines was perfect for our family retreat of six adults. We were able to bring our 18' I/O boat, use the public launch and dock it on the 2nd dock on the property. The end of the docks are 5-6' deep and continues deeper. Perfect for swimming, floating, fishing and our boat. Kayaks are provided but we brought our own. We used the provided float pad, hand held wood splitter and the dock/fire pit chairs. Sunsets were beautiful. The location on the bay is ideal for calm waters during typical summer winds. The zig-zag mulch path up and down from the home and docks are well lit and manageable except for individuals with mobility issues. The fire pit, games and grill are located close to the home's back porch which is mostly shaded for comfort and has a nice view of the lake. The home is thoughtfully designed and decorated for visiting guests. All beds were very comfortable and the kitchen is equipped with nearly everything a person needs to prepare a variety of meals, morning coffee, plenty of refrigeration and freezer space with a designed kitchen island that minimizes congestion during group chats. The TV and wifi are easy to use and our TMobile network also worked fine on the lake. We saw a variety of wildlife, caught a variety of fish including walleye and enjoyed the privacy of the location and walks along the road. We appreciated the 10pm quiet time and the friendly neighbors and community. Everyone in our family loved this place and Big Sandy Lake.

Property was lovely, would definitely rent again!

This property was exactly as described and photos showed. The owner was very prompt in all communication. The kitchen was very well equipped, bedding was very nice, clean and comfortable. It is a very clean property and furnishings are very nice. The host emailed details about check in, check out and a list of things to do in the area which was a nice touch. This is a very nice home in a good location and I highly recommend it and the hosts. They provided great service throughout.

Amazing Week Up North

Wow! We spent an amazing week at Tower Pines and had a wonderful “Up North” experience. Andrea was easy to work with and very responsive. The cabin is beautiful and was set up perfectly for our family of 7 (5 adults and 2 kids). They had everything we needed - from the kitchen and grilling supplies to the games, books, puzzles, ping pong table, etc. The lake is beautiful - perfect for jumping off the dock and swimming to the floating dock. We enjoyed yard games and relaxing on the porch overlooking the lake. The cabin is beautifully decorated and comfortable. We hope to be back next summer!

Excellent Memories Made

The home was wonderfully decorated and inviting with everything you need for a family vacation. We had a great time with things to do for all ages (5 months to 62 years old)! Kids had a lot of fun on the lily pad and jumping off the dock. The lake was clean with very few weeds and it lived up to the Big Sandy name with a nice sandy bottom!! The owner was super responsive to any questions we had! We would definitely recommend staying there again!
