Your Vrbo hosts are native to the Park Rapids Area and would love to answer ANY and ALL questions you have. Please feel free to ask!

We ask that you respect our neighbors and park/stay on our property only. Noise levels need to be low, especially at night and no outside music past dark. Sound travels across the water and is much louder than you would think. If a noise violation occurs and/or law enforcement is called you will be requested to leave with no refund.

No pets. No smoking. Fires must stay in the rings. Broken glass found in the yard, lake, or shoreline will result in loss of damage deposit. Consider using plastic or aluminum. We want everyone to enjoy this property, respect our environment and their special time at the lake. Please leave the property in the condition it was found in.

Water conservation must be practiced. This includes practices like: limited showers (10 mins.), don't leave water running when doing dishes, brushing teeth, etc. This is good for the environment and needed at this property to keep the small rural septic system operating as it should. The septic system is a lift system. Flushing anything other than toilet paper will cause damage. If damage occurs due to flushing wipes, feminine products, or anything else you will need to pay for the repair.

We stayed at Sandy Pines for the first time this weekend with our 5 and 6 year olds. It was phenomenal. The property is meticulously maintained. The cabin is adorable and so cozy. Our favorites were the screened in porch and lakeside amenities. The kids loved the lily pad and paddle boards. We would love to stay again!!

Ojibwe Cabin Stay

Cabin was very clean and thoughtfully designed. Location was private and quiet. Fire pit was close enough to cabin to be convenient, but not too close as to get smoke from the pit into the cabin. Lake was clear. Views from cabin deck and fire pit were lovely. Enjoyed paddle boards, kayaks and water mat Overall, was a really pleasant stay.

Peaceful Getaway

The cabin was cozy, clean, and the setting was peaceful. The cabin is well supplied with all the basics you could need. The host was quick to respond when contacted. The lake views from the cabin, screen room and decks and the sound of the loons calling were beautiful. While kayaking the lake, we could see blue gills, bass, northern, musk rats, loons, swans with babies, and an occasional eagle. We would definately return!

A Cozy Lakefront Cabin: Even Better Than the Pictures!

This lakefront cabin was absolutely amazing! The pictures are great, but it's even better in person.When we got there, we were blown away by how cozy, clean, and thoughtfully decorated it was. Yes, it's small, but it's totally functional and actually feels way bigger than it looks. The owners thought of every single detail, making it feel like a true home away from home.The kitchen, even though small, was a big surprise – fully stocked with everything you could need, plus a dishwasher! And there is a grill too, which used a ton.We opted to also rent the pontoon boat and spent many hours on the lake swimming and fishing. Even managed to catch a few pike. The kayaks and paddleboards were a big hit with the teenager and the 7-year-old was obsessed fishing for sunfish off the dock pretty much nonstop.Pro tip for: dig through all the deck boxes! They're packed with literally anything you could possibly need for a lake cabin stay.We had a wonderful stay, thank you Amy for the hospitality!

Clean and Timeless

Our family of 3 just finished our long weekend stay at Sandy Pines. The check-in process was easy, and the property is absolutely gorgeous. Very rustic, yet beautiful - right down to the pictures on the walls. Everything you needed was right there at the cabin. My son loved the beach area, and we all loved the kayaks and paddle boards. Our son caught too many bluegills off the dock to keep track of. Fishing elsewhere on the lake was slow, but that’s why they call it fishing and not catching, I suppose . The neighbors said that the lake is super low this year, making the weeds grow a little quicker than typical. This cabin has a 10/10 cozy factor, looking like you stepped right into a magazine on interior design. The seating areas outside were all well thought out. My favorite space was the screen porch. Perfect spot to finish my book, and play an intense game of Monopoly in the evening, and listen to the loons all day long. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

Cozy & magical escape in the Northwoods!

We enjoyed a long weekend at Sandt Pines. It was a memorable experience! This quaint & cozy lake cabin is the definition of charming. The cabin's layout & decor creates a cozy, inviting, & comfortable atmosphere.The view of the lake from anywhere inside or outside the cabin was stunning. Much time was spent on the deck, dock, and sand chairs enjoying the peace and quiet. We heard loons, saw ducks bathing on the beach next door, and deer on the island. The kids (older teens) enjoyed fishing off the dock, pontoon fishing, swimming, the lillypad, and of course the wi-fi! The cabin has a well-equipped for all of our needs. The kitchen was had everything we needed to prepare meals and a numerous comfy living areas for relaxing. Our favorites were the screened porch, deck, hammock, and of course anywhere inside the cabin. The firepit, beautiful patio table and chairs, and screened porch all add to the cabin's charm.The location is ideal. It's close to Park Rapids, Nevis, and Dorset. We took one day and went exploring-so many places to see and things to do! Lots to explore!The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the stay even more enjoyable. Their hospitality was truly appreciated & exceptional.For a peaceful, charming, and authentic Northern Minnesota getaway, look no further! Sandy Pines is highly recommended.
