Lots of room for everyone to have space, close to town, but quiet on the lake. Check in was simple, very prompt and easy communication, and we had no issues during our stay. The kitchen is fairly well stocked and the filtered water at the sink was nice. We had fun on rainy days with the games, the ping pong in the garage and also enjoyed the fire pit and lily pad.

This home was perfect for our annual cabin trip with two other families. The bunk room in the basement fit all of the kids and they had a blast rooming together. The basement was a fun hang out for them too! We loved the large table in the kitchen. It could seat our large group of 12! The kids & dads enjoyed fishing off the dock and they caught tons on fish! Our kids loved playing on the lily pad in the water. The beach area has really soft sand. The kids also loved the tire swing out front. The garage was a nice bonus area too! This cabin truly has everything you could need!

Great location. Great host. We had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone! We were here for powercruise at brainerd international speedway. So we had a lot of cars. The garage here was spacious enough to hold two of them and then the long driveway held the remaining ones. It was also only a 5 minute drive from the house to the track!

Great summer vacation

We had a great time at our getaway and TJ was awesome! We had enough bedrooms and beds for our family; it was comfy and had everything we needed. We had bonfires, fished in the lake from our boat and off the dock. Went boating in Gull Lake that is very close, went go karting, and much more. Great location!

Family Lake House Vacation

We enjoyed our 7 day family vacation. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Our host was very nice and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed trying our luck fishing from the dock, using the kayaks, the wild flowers, watching the birds like loons, osprey, blue jays and orioles to name a few, toasting marshmallows around the fire pit, and playing board games with our grandchildren. I will recommend this beautiful place to friends and family, and would gladly come back to stay!

Wonderful, Magical and Incredible Place! I Recommend!!

This VRBO is truly an incredible place to stay right in the heart of Brainerd/Baxter! Central location, close to everything! The owner, TJ, is very communicative, thoughtful and caring! My family absolutely loved our stay in this wonderful 4 bedroom 3 bath staycation right on the lake of Red Sand Lake. The public access is less than 100 yards away…beautiful beach…campfire pit… super clean rooms and incredible kitchen/full family dining table… even a huge selection of board games! I highly recommend this place for you and your family! We had a blast!!

Great spot for a girls weekend

Four girlfriends and I rented this property for girls weekend. The open concept layout of the kitchen and living space was perfect. The property was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The cabin is super close to Baxter so if you need anything Target is a quick trip into town. TJ was very responsive and a great host. Thank you!
