Our cozy lakeside cabin offers you the simple pleasures of an up north getaway.

Our cozy lakeside cabin offers you the simple pleasures of an up north getaway. The cabin is located on Sand Lake in Deer River, MN. It was built in 1978 on property that has been family owned since 1972. In 1988, the decision was made to expand and add on an addition, which gave the family 500 more square feet of room to rest and relax! As the family continues to grow, we have become thankful for the additional space.

This 1320 square feet cabin features two bedrooms, one bath, and a sleeping loft. All together with the available space and number of beds, it can sleep six people comfortably. As our family can testify, it can also accommodate for a multi-family vacation.

The first living area is an open space with high ceilings featuring a gas fireplace and a variety of seating options. The living area that the addition provides features a wood burning stove, TV with a DVD and VHS player, couch, futon, recliner chair, rocker chair, and a dining room table that easily seats 6 adults.

The first bedroom on the main level has a queen bed. The second bedroom has both a queen bed and a set of bunk beds. More sleeping space will be found in the loft with two twin beds and two additional twin mattresses that are on the floor. As previously mentioned, there is also a full-size futon available in the addition. There is one bathroom on the main level with only a shower, no bathtub.

We have a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of utensils and appliances for your baking or cooking needs. The kitchen features a full-size refrigerator, stove/oven, and microwave. There is a deck off the kitchen with a gas grill, charcoal BBQ, and a picnic table. This property provides a lake view, access to a boat lift, and our private dock perfect for fishing, swimming and watching the sunset. We also provide our family owned paddle boat, two kayaks, and canoe for your enjoyment. There is drive way parking available for up to five cars.

What a great place!
We had a most enjoyable time at Greg’s cabin. The lake and the surroundings take you away from everyday life. And Greg was the most accommodating host we’ve ever encountered, offering us the use of anything on the property. We will be back!

How many people can "stay" at the property
According to the listing, this property can sleep up to 10 people, but it should be revised a little. There are actual beds for 6 people, the rest would need to sleep in the loft, couch recliners, mattresses on the floor, or on a futon. The loft is too small for adults to be able to climb up/down the steps in order to sleep up there. Everything else on the property was great and Greg was really easy to work with. I would recommend this place to others.

Peaceful getaway on the lake
First off, Greg was a great host, he made sure that we had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay. The cabin itself is very cozy and welcoming. The location is perfect, it’s very private, with awesome views of the lake throughout the property. The cabin also has everything you need if you forget something, or if you don’t have your own kayaks, canoes, etc. We will definitely remember our stay and may find our way back there again!

Nice cabin, lots of wildlife, good kayaking/canoeing
Owner Greg is awesome! The cabin has everything you need - we overpacked; we brought too much cooking stuff and life jackets, and did not need them. Water very clear, we did not swim. We kayaked and canoed and had a fun time.
