A great place for a family vacation
This cabin was a perfect fit for our family of 14, ranging in age from 1 to 60. There was plenty of room for all of us, the yard was HUGE, and the hosts were so responsive and friendly. Sand Lake was fun for fishing and the sandbar at the dock made for a great place for all our young ones to play in the water safely. They had everything we needed for a great vacation.

Spacious yard and beautiful views
My family stayed here for a family reunion. There were people ages 1-71 and all enjoyed the cabin. The yard was large and spacious for the littles to play in and the fire pit was a great place to gather. The house itself was a bit cozy for the 13 of us, but everything else made up for it! The hosts were very nice and accommodating and we appreciate their communication and thoughtfulness. Was a wonderful week overall!

We had an amazing time!
Pros; location was perfect, close enough for a few activities off the property we took advantage of the antique shops, go carts, playground down the road, the Hayward beach for a change of scenery and the “musky museum “ was a huge hit with our fishing obsessed kids. The lake was crystal clear, depth was great for little ones, kayakers loved having a few more boats to use. (We brought a couple of our own) and the peddle boat was fun. The kitchen was well equipped. We prepared and ate every meal at the cabin, my daughter only missed having wooden spoons. Coffee bar was a great idea and was used quite often. The yard is huge, we spent hours on the front deck and around the fire pit in back. Beds were comfy. Bonus points for the amazing wood work! Cons: We happened to be staying on a 4 day heat wave and the portable AC was trying but just couldn’t keep up. The lake is across a busy 55 MPH highway with a blind hill, thankfully the house sits very far back from the road-we only had a couple of times when a “big kid” (11) tried to cross by himself and we panicked. The lake depth was great for the little ones, but we had a 22 ft bass boat and had to wade about 200 ft to the anchored boat. Plus, the hassle of bringing the boat back to the house each night. The cons didn’t seem to matter too much once we got into our time together. Our entire family really enjoyed everything about our stay and we made many fantastic memories!

Awesome Place with a Perfect Location
This house is the perfect location for snowmobiling as the trail is just out the back door, and the gas station/mini mart is only 1/2 mile away by trail. The owners quickly respond to your questions and were very accommodating, when we arrived at the house it was very clean and perfectly stocked with items. We had a group of 4 guys so we had plenty of room to stretch out! I would definitely stay here again!

Weekend family getaway
This was a wonderful place for us to get all of our family together for the weekend. we planned on having 11 of us, but ended up with 9. We had fun in the huge backyard playing yard games, grilling, and just sitting around the campfire making smores, and just relaxing. Some of us went on walks on the trail that goes along the back of the property. We took my boat out a couple of times. The wind was blowing pretty hard so the lake was ruff, making it hard to fish. The water is shallow around the dock making it difficult to get the boat in and out. Had to push the boat with a paddle out far enough to get the motor down. It's close enough to Hayward to drive in to see attractions and shop there.

Gorgeous Furnishings - Has Everything You Need
Very beautiful cabin. Loved the kitchen and basement. Very well stocked appliances and dishes. Kids loved the kayaks and lake area. The pellet grill is very nice and easy to use. Tons of seating outside and fire pits at the cabin and by the lake. Great storage in garage and plenty of parking. The only drawback is if you have a large boat, the lake in this location is very shallow. We were not able to dock there (18' lund). If the dock is extended in the future it would not be an issue. Was very comfortable for the 8 of us. Good communication with the property manager.

Thanks so much for staying at our cabin! We realized the dock situation was a problem after we set it up. We had no clue that sand bar went as far as it did! Hoping to get a longer dock if not by the end of this year at least next!

Great fun!
16 family members, aging in range from 7-90, stayed 4 nights in this beautiful cabin. It was sometimes quite “cozy” because of the number of adults vs children. It would be ideal for 2-3 families with 6-8 children. We made the best of it and spent lots of time outside or down at the lake. We enjoyed the outside games provided, as well as the kayaks and paddle boat. Owners were fantastic and always communicated in a timely manner.

Enjoyed our week!!
Would absolutely recommend this cabin to others. House is in a great location, near many amenities and activities. The owners have put much care into the renovation. They were also quite attentive to any questions and/or requests that arose during our stay. We had enough space for 9 of us plus our dog. We enjoyed the lake for jet skiing, kayaks, canoes and fishing. Plus the backyard offered a play area for both adults and kids.
