About this house rental
Situated in Baxter, this charming house for $683 per night is a great option for your next trip. A private, 5-bedroom home on Red Sand Lake in the heart of Baxter.

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!

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.

Beautiful house situated on a private property and lake. Too bad we weren't able to explore it to it's full extent. Patios and outdoor furniture were covered in cobwebs and dead bugs upon arrival. Not a huge deal, but cleanliness outside could definitely be improved. The pontoon - a major reason for our booking the place- was unusable for the whole trip. Contacted property owner about engine problems on our first full day there. We were told they would be in touch when they could talk to their dad about it. Never heard a word back until 25 hours later when we had to reach out again looking for updates. This was already halfway through the trip for us. They told us they couldn't do anything about it. After pressing some more they finally said they would work on getting a mobile mechanic out there and they would update us. Mobile mechanic never came, no updates were ever given. Nothing but silence and neglect from the owner. We came home disappointed and without ever getting to use something that was clearly included in the rental, something we had paid for.
For over $500/day, I would expect a little more courtesy and professionalism from the hosts, but I guess they stop caring after they've been paid. It's a shame that such a wonderful property has to be owned by such uncaring people who only look at it as a business opportunity. We definitely won't, and I would advise caution before renting because it seems like once you've paid your dues, you're all on your own.

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 rented the home for our yearly family vacation. There were plenty of rooms and bathrooms for us all to have our own space. The home was beautiful and with every amenity you could ask for. The owners were quick to respond when we had trouble with the wifi. The included pontoon boat was a great plus since the guys love to fish. We were worried that fishing on a smaller lake wouldn't be as good as other places we had rented on larger lakes, but we were happy with the experience. They caught several pan fish even off the dock, and even caught some northerns and perch. If you are looking for a wonderful place to make family memories, this was a great place and we strongly recommend staying here.

We had plenty of space in the home! Our grandchildren loved the beach. It was quiet and the lake was peaceful! We were almost the only ones on it. We had a lot of fun!
The owner listed a high chair as an item that would be there. We never found one though.
4.0
Our family loved our week at this secluded property. There were 10 adults and 8 little ones. There was something for everyone. We had beautiful weather so we spent most of our time on the pontoon or the beach area. We played lots of yard games. One thing we weren't aware of was the leeches in the lake. One of our little ones had over 30 tiny ones on her but she had been sitting in the water for a long period of time. After that we just made sure everyone playing in the lake kept moving and then they were fine. The house is very spacious and the kitchen is well stocked. The beds and pillows are super comfortable. We felt like we had our own little oasis. Everyone said they would come back to this place again.

Beautiful Property
The property is beautiful, private and serene. It was a great getaway for our family. There was plenty of space for our 9 family members. There were a lot of things to do to entertain us (ages ranged from 12-85). The kids loved fun playing pool and Pac-Man on the arcade game in the basement. We enjoyed the theater room one evening and made popcorn with the popcorn machine.
We all enjoyed the beautiful fire pit, rides on the pontoon, building sand castles on the sandy beach, fishing off the dock, and paddle boarding and kayaking around the calm lake with the loons. One thing that I will suggest is to bring plenty of bug spray! The deer flies were terrible!
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We had a great time and made wonderful memories!

Pros- very secluded, quiet, lots of wildlife, but 10 minutes from Costco, Cub.
Drawbacks- lacking owner oversight, moldy wine bottle behind master bed, moldy grounds left in coffee maker. Lots of pet hair in intake vents. Extra bedding on floor of all closets, no dressers, no place for our clothes for a large family for 3 week stay. Not enough hand soap provided. Kitchen cupboards and fridge full of owner's food, no room for our food. Grills were filthy. .Carpet had lots of stains. Fireplace obviously not cleaned out since spring. Had to clean garage to get cars in during storm. Last of all, MICE!!! We had notified owner, told her we set traps. She did not offer to send exterminator, we caught 1-2 mice per day in traps we bought.

Annual Family Vacation
This property is beautiful and the location is great - close to Baxter/Brainerd and anything you may need, but still quiet and private. Our group ranged from 14 to 70 and everyone was comfortable and had a wonderful weekend. It was unanimous that we would all return!

The location and cabin were perfect for a family get away to relax. The girls spent pretty much all the time in the boat and water. When they did get "bored" it was a short trip to Nisswa. I was also able like to get some work done in the library room. This is definitely an annual trip for our family. Thanks Erin!

Very nice property and cabin! The property felt like you were very far away from civilization but was really only a 10 minute drive to downtown Baxter. We enjoyed using the bonfire pit, the beach area, and the pontoon to boat around the lake!

Relaxing, secluded getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at The Retreat at Red Sand Lake. Erin was very responsive and was able to answer all my questions promptly. The property is completely secluded from neighbors and was very spacious. Would highly recommend for anyone with a decent sized group looking for a relaxing weekend away.

Amazing
This was exactly what we needed as a family. With the water toys, land to run around on, and the games and movie room downstairs, we (2 adults and 2 young kids) all had fun. We were isolated for COVID purposes but still able to enjoy the last bits of summer. This will for sure be an annual trip!
