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.

Family get=a-way!

House worked perfect for us. Every family had there space when they wanted it, but then we also had plenty of space to be together. Kitchen items were great. Enjoyed the outside firepit, those chairs were the best. They did catch some fish also. Overall a good get-a-way!! Thanks for this.

Great property

The house was exactly what we needed for our family vacation. We had plenty of room both inside and out. The home was well furnished from the kitchen to all the rooms and bedrooms. The pontoon was fabulous to have along with the paddle boards and kayaks. We used them all every day. The host was quick to answer any questions although we didn't need much. I highly recommend this property. kayaks. We used all

Lovely stay!! So many amenities, great open lay out and perfect yard with boat.

Our stay here was so wonderful! They had so many things to do in their property from kayaking, to pool, to watching movies in the movie room from their outstanding selection, to going on the pontoon. The lake is very shallow but we did find a couple spots where it got deep enough for us to go for a dip. You could tell the cabin was well loved by the owners and that they had all around great taste. They have a very stocked kitchen so no need to brings things like salt, oil, and some other pantry items. The lay out of the home was lovely and open. Table large enough to sit around and play games for everyone, s’mores by the fire, tons of bath towels, everything you could hope for on a staycation! They have about 7 remotes for the living room tv but you only really need 1 of them (the white one.) can’t think of one negative thing to say!

Great place that needs some TLC

Twelve of us spent four nights here. The house itself is very nice and accommodating to a large group. We really enjoyed the pool table and arcade game. There was lots of sleeping room. Outside seating was nice and we appreciated that the owner sprays for mosquitos. The swimming area is pure muck. The lake itself is very weedy too. So I would not plan on swimming there. There is a really nice beach a mile away though. The swimming mat that another reviewer mentioned last year, is still sitting there all ripped up, dirty and unusable. The kayaks and other water toys were completely covered in goose poop (as was the sandy beach) so we didn't use any of them. The WIFI is not unlimited so we were unable to use it as the limit was already reached for the month by previous guests. The water jugs were not filled up for the water dispenser machine upon arrival. If you want to use it, you need to go to Cub Foods and pay to fill them yourself. The biggest issue we had with this rental is that the hot water is on off peak. Which means it only heats up 2 times a day. Our party of 12 tried to space showers out and keep them as short as possible. However, we did not have enough hot water and someone always ended up with a cold shower. A good deep cleaning and decluttering of the shelves and cupboards would also be recommended. This place just needs a little TLC and it would be a 5 star rating every time.

Our extended family enjoyed our time by the lake! The littles loved the shallow water and the sandy beach. Its a fairly shallow and weedy lake so the fisherpeople were disappointed in the fishing results. There were enough spaces throughout the house to spread out and it never felt crowded with the 14 of us. We look forward in going back again.

We traveled with two young children woke up every morning to mouse droppings in one of the bathrooms spiders all over the house big black ants all over the house. We had to mow the grass because the ticks were so bad. They said they couldn’t mow because we had a bounce house up we would’ve taken it down but he never came to the door. The cleaning lady was awesome. She brought us toilet paper and garbage bags when we ran out the host not so good. We think we should get some money back because it was terrible. I’ll never go back.

Annual friends and family trip

This has been an amazing annual tradition for our family and friends. We talked with our 10 year old kids about perhaps finding a different place for a change of pace but they were adamant that we come back to this cabin - approval from two 10 year old girls is pretty rare

Great location

Loved this home. We were a group of four couples and had more room then needed. Loved the property and beauty of lake. So peaceful. The pontoon was an added bonus for evening cruises. Several tried out the paddle boards and kayaks as well. Easy access to anything needed in town as well. Loved this property! Home was well stocked.

We had a great stay at this property. Having so much space meant our group could spread out. We enjoyed the numerous gathering areas and well stocked kitchen. There were toys for kids, games, books, movies, and even a pool table. The swimming area was clear, shallow and sandy; great for the little kids and for the adults to enjoy some floating time. The pontoon was fun to have onsite to explore the lake and do some fishing. The large flat yard was great for yard games. During the daytime there were almost no bugs! We loved how secluded this property was. At the same time it was incredibly easy to get to town. The owner was very responsive. We made some great memories during our stay here.

Great time had by all!

The property is on a beautiful, remote peninsula with a sandy beach and shallow water - great for the little kids. Paddleboards and Kayaks were available (need second paddleboard and kayak paddles - one kayak paddle was broken and there was only one paddleboard paddle....but we made due). The house was great for our needs - lots of sleep space, big table to eat at, well-stocked kitchen, outdoor grill, kids books and toys, big yard to play in - again, perfect for our needs. Lovely paved walking/running/biking path along the main road. Close to lots of Brainerd activities, but felt like you were in your own world out at the house. Ticks were bad - but that just goes with MN life. We missed out because the pontoon wasn't in the water yet...hopefully we can come back next year and be able to go out for a ride on the lake.

DO NOT STAY HERE!

The host gave us the wrong door code. Did not respond to messages for over an hr and we were left in the pouring rain. WiFi did not work. Sheets and towels were not cleaned and left in a mess. Rat droppings and food left in one of the bedrooms. Mold in the coffee cup. Repeated requests to the host were ignored. For a 4 night stay it took us almost 2 days ourselves to get it back in order. Clearly the host does not care about this property, you’ll be able to find better in Baxter.

Family Vacation

Rented this home for a week for our family; which was 9 adults, 1 baby and 1 dog. We had plenty of room and in the evening we used the pool table and theater room. The lake is very shallow and some what weedy. We saw lots of wildlife: deer, chipmunks, birds and snakes. Only complaint is that we didn’t get to use the pontoon; which is why we chose this rental. However the owner did tell me as we were on our way to the property that the pump broke with the last renter. She was hoping they could fix it in a day or so but it wasn’t fixed until the night before we left. Also the lily pad was all ripped so we were not able to use that either. We did use the kayaks and paddle board - that was fun! Overall good property if you like a secluded location.
