About this property

A Perfect Vacation Awaits!

We welcome you to our little slice of paradise! Our lakeside home is perfect for a family vacation, girl’s/guy's weekend, golf getaway, fishing trip or couple's retreat at any time of year. We are an easy two hour drive north from the Twin Cities and just 45 minutes south of Duluth. The nearby town of Moose Lake offers gift shops, a craft brewery, restaurants featuring home cooking, a bowling alley and a movie theater. This area boasts great access to many recreational activities, such as, biking, ATV riding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, kayaking, hunting, golfing and fishing.

Be one with nature on our spacious deck overlooking the gorgeous lake. Enjoy great pan fishing and swimming from our dock. Boat rental is available at Sand Lake Resort or haul your pontoon or fishing boat and tie up at our dock. We have 150 feet of shoreline and children of all ages will enjoy wading out into the shallow lake water and skipping rocks. Take a nature walk to the neighborhood park complete with a play structure, ball field, pickleball and tennis courts. Eagles and loons call our lake their home, and their sounds can be heard daily. Every bedroom has a view of the lake. Wake up early and enjoy the sunrise over the lake. Rainy days will be enjoyable with our large selection of board games or stream movies on the Smart TVs in every bedroom. Nights can be spent around a campfire roasting marshmallows and observing the starry sky. Your perfect vacation awaits!

The perfect get away

The house was exactly what we needed as a group of women just looking to get away. Comfortable beds, lots of games to play and a well stocked kitchen. Communication with the owners was perfect. We can't wait to come back when it's warmer and enjoy the lake and fire pit!

Great location!

Great location for us on a lake not far from home but lots of options. Can spend time on the lake, in town at thrift shops, hiking at Jay Cooke, or indoors playing games, doing puzzles, or watching movies.

A Great Weekend Stay

I have relatives down the road from this VRBO so I booked it for my bachelorette party to have a relaxing girls weekend on the lake. The house was spacious, had everything we needed, and the beds and pillows were comfortable. We enjoyed being able to take the kayaks and paddle boat out! We also loved sitting on the large deck with the table top fire pit. Owners had great communication and were very pleasant to work with. I would stay here again!

Enjoyed our stay on Sand Lake near Moose Lake. The cabin is roomy with many screens and a large dining table. We spent time on the lake, on the deck and at the dining room table playing games. Loved to hear the loons and paddle on the lake!
