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.

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Nelson

John and I have been searching for years to find the right cabin on the right lake for our family of 4 to escape life in Shakopee, MN. We love to relax and enjoy all the outdoors have to offer when we can. We are so excited to call this cabin on Big Sandy our own and to also share it with our friends and family. We sincerely hope you can enjoy all this cabin, lake, and area have to offer when we cant make it up!

Why they chose this property

We love the privacy this lake house offers. We are nestled up in the woods, with a beautiful view of the quiet bay. The mornings on the deck are quiet, and the sunsets are breathtaking.
