About this property

Private Peninsula With 3,000 Feet Of Lakeshore In The Heart Of Lake Country!

A private, 5-bedroom home on Red Sand Lake in the heart of Baxter. Our vacation property has all of the conveniences of a medium-sized city (Cub, Target, etc. within 4 miles) but you can easily stay for days without seeing another person except when passing one by boat on the lake. Full lakeshore and wildlife views, fire pit and deck, sandy beach w/dock and pontoon included, theater room, wireless speaker system, game room and more. Both master bedrooms enjoy a beautiful lake view. Basement features a pool table, arcade game and theater room. Water toys abound with a giant swimming mat, 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, and more. You'll want to keep an eye out for the hawks, eagles, herons, cranes, foxes, deer and bear living on our private peninsula. Fully appointed kitchen and laundry on site, with a grilling deck and open fire cooking options as well. Newly-remodeled master bathroom features a soak tub. This is the ideal set up for large groups or families looking for a lake getaway!

Please note - we are good stewards of the beautiful land surrounding our home. We treat for critters and insects, but this home is nestled in the middle of natural, protected habitat. We are very strict about no harsh chemicals or potentially harmful practices. You will encounter mosquitos, dragonflies, and more. Sometimes ticks, too. Please do not book our home if you can't coexist with MN summer nature.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Larson

Host profile image
I grew up in Minnesota, spending summers and holidays at the family cabin in the Brainerd Lakes Area. I split time between the Cities and this lake home, and after lending it out to friends and family I realized we have something special here. I'm happy to share this beautiful, private lake home with the right visitors. I hope you enjoy!

Why they chose this property

I was looking for a true getaway in the Brainerd Lakes Area. I wanted someplace where me and my dogs could spend weeks on end in complete peace and privacy, but also wanted the security and convenience offered by a medium-sized city. We almost didn't even look at this property because I couldn't believe the seclusion I needed would come from a lake home in Baxter. When we turned onto the gravel road, my whole mindset changed. All it takes is driving down our private drive, catching a glimpse of one of our animal neighbors (fawns in the spring!), enjoying the sun setting over Red Sand Lake, and you forget that the outside world exists. We are the sole human occupants of a 4 acre peninsula on a small, very private lake. I couldn't have asked for a nicer spot.

What makes this property unique

The privacy offered is unparalleled, in my experience owning and enjoying lake homes. The lake is smaller than some, but with that comes complete privacy as well as safety. We drop our water mat in the middle of the lake with people lounging on it and are never worried about boat traffic. You can enjoy all the perks of Northwoods lake living and still be able to pop out for groceries in less than a half hour. Rainy weather just means you don't feel guilty hunkering down in the theater with your choice of hundreds of DVDs or Netflix.
