We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. Beautiful area of MN.

If you're looking to stay in a new, clean, well appointed and maintained cabin "up north", this is a great choice! New appliances, large screen tv, wifi, great bathroom with walk-in shower, deck overlooking the lake, big fire pit with plenty of firewood, access to dock, paddleboards, hiking trail, and dog friendly too- it's a very nice getaway just a few hours from the cities. Only thing that could make it better would be if one bedroom offered a standard queen bed instead of bunks with one side against the wall. Still, we had a great trip and would totally recommend it!

Lovely property on lake complete with otters, geese, and a zillion stars!

We had an amazing time at our cozy cottage on Big Sand Lake. The cabin has all the amenities one needs. It was very clean and comfortable. Kevin was a fabulous host and was always quick to communicate if needed. He put us in touch with a pontoon boat rental for the week which was easy and convenient. The lake has very little boat traffic as most of the shoreline is part of the Chippewa National Forest. We had great fishing for Crappie, Bass, Bluegill and Pike. The lake was full of wildlife including Loons, Eagles, Osprey, Terns, Pelicans, Hummingbirds and we saw on Otter. Nothing like going to sleep to the calls of Loons on the lake. There are many cute little towns within 45 minutes drive including Remer, Walker, Bemigi and Park Rapids. We saw a momma bear and two cubs on our drive to Walker (the cubs climbed a tree when we pulled over and were checking us out). The cabin has a great fire pit area and the owner had plenty of stocked firewood. For being quite remote we didn't feel like we were roughing it at all (AC, washer/dryer, dish washer and ice maker. I highly recommend this property for a small family looking to getaway on a small and quiet lake. It was perfect for what we were looking for!
