Big Sand is one of the areas premier fishing and recreational lakes. 1800 acre lake with 35-foot water clarity, hard pack sand bottom, gradual slope out, and no weeds!! Fantastic swimming off the end of the dock. The cabin is a rustic two bedroom with a large deck and lakeside fire pit. There is a double bed in one bedroom. The other bedroom has a bunk bed with full mattress on the bottom and twin on top. Beautiful setting among towering white and red pines, right on the water, with a fabulous fire pit overlooking a natural rocky shoreline. This cabin faces west for the best sunset views in Hubbard County.
The cabin is NOT handicap accessible, and people with mobility issues will find the steps difficult. There are 35 stone steps down (from parking) to cabin and waters edge.

Our cabin is part of an old resort, so there are nearby neighbors and we kindly ask that you respect their privacy if they happen to be in residence.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Emerson

Host profile image
Hi, we're Jim and Shari Emerrson. Jim is from Iowa and began vacationing on Big Sand Lake in the mid 60's when he was six years old, and was fortunate enough to buy a cabin there in 1994. Shari is from Park Rapids and we met for the first time at the cabins, and ultimately got married there. This is our personal cabin and we have spent many summers enloying the beauty of Big Sand Lake with family and friends. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

My family has been vacationing on Big Sand Lake since the early sixties and when the opportunity came up to buy these special cabins at Coolridge, I couldn't resist. It is the perfect spot to get away and now that I have my own son to spend time here, it has just come full circle.

What makes this property unique

Incredible sunsets. The call of the Loons. Fabulous fishing. Night time fires lakeside.
