Family Cabin with all the views on Big Sandy

Family Cabin with all the views on Big Sandy

10/10 Excellent
"Loved our stay! There were so many personal touches and the house was stocked everything we could want or need. The house definitely had its squeaks and creeks, and was a bit of a distance from the house down to the beach, but the views and neighborhood eagles made it worth it."

The Lake Haus: Peaceful 2BR Waterfront Getaway on Elm Island Lake

The Lake Haus: Peaceful 2BR Waterfront Getaway on Elm Island Lake

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful little house. Actually not that little! You could put an air mattress in the living room easily. Everything was top-notch. Super clean, super quiet, very pretty area. Excellent communication with hosts. Very well stocked with everything you could need, and lots of little extras like sandwich bags and coffee! Lots of thoughtful little touches like a phone plug in the kitchen. Nice cozy electric fireplace in the living room. I could easily stay here for a month. Hope to return next summer. Would give it 6 stars if I could."

Eagle Sands on Mille Lacs: Sugar Sand Beach on the Peaceful North End

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing lake view. We didn't have the best weather, but it was still great. Host had a drawer of games that kept us busy while it rained. Place was way bigger than I thought. My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary but are thinking of coming again some time with our kids. No dock which is a bummer if you have a boat, but the launch is only a few minutes up the road. Host was super helpful answering my questions, making sure we had enough propane for grilling, and making restaurant recommendations. Would definitely recommend."

9 Acres of Secluded Freedom along the Kettle River in Sturgeon Lake, MN

9 Acres of Secluded Freedom along the Kettle River in Sturgeon Lake, MN

8/10 Good
"The listing may be misleading to those who have never been in a camper, as it says "3 Bedroom". Clarification: there is one bedroom with a short queen bed, a set of bunks in the main area with a curtain, and couch and dinette that can be used for more sleeping space. This is a wonderful space to "camp" effortlessly. Just grab your food and go. We had a wedding nearby and didn't want to haul our own camper just to sleep in for a couple days. The yard was super cute. The area is heavily wooded and there is a beautiful 200 step trail to a river (stream at the moment). There are no other walking trails. The bedding/towels are nice and clean, and the kitchen is stocked with the basics.As stated in the description, there is no wi-fi. Also, the cell service is almost non-existant (even Verizon), We left one teen home alone and couldn't watch the storm radar (scary!) Bring books and games in case of rain. Game selection is minimal and you won't be watching movies due to the lack of wi-fi, cell service, and a working movie player. Don't plan to shower unless you are very short and don't mind cold water. The shower head doesn't reach the hook and the quick shut off switch causes water it to spray out of the hose rather than the shower head. Camper water heaters are very small and a shower without a shut off switch turns very cold very quickly. Finally, the sewer smell upon flushing the toilet is horrible. Just be ready to flush and run."

"Lovely spacious home, on a beautiful lot! Water equipment was so nice to utilize. The deck was by far our favorite place to gather. Only issue was the keypad not working, but Amy was quick to help navigate the issue.Would love to stay again!"

"This is an absolutely beautiful property. We had a wonderful vacation with our children, their families AND our two dogs. There were 7 adults and 5 children (ages 7 to 16) in our party - we all had plenty of room for sleeping, playing games & relaxing in the many different areas of the house.The white sand beach was amazing ... the screened-in porch unbelievable.Thank you to our hosts Steven & Jonathan - you have a great property!"

Classic MN Up North Lake House w/Sauna

Classic MN Up North Lake House w/Sauna

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay at this cute cabin. It was perfect for our family of 4. Overall it was very clean and well stocked with needed items. The bunk beds were perfect for our 7 & 14 year old and selection of games and books for was a welcomed surprise. The hosts were also very responsive to any questions. The view from the cabin is awesome and although there isn’t a “sandy beach” the water is fairly shallow off the dock with the lake bottom hard sand and a few rocks. With water shoes it was prefect for a mission mat, launching the stand up paddle boards, and just general floating/relaxing in the water. Our boys caught a ton of fish and the lake is perfect for quiet paddle boarding or fishing and lake sports (skiing, tubing, etc.) We were able to launch our boat at the public launch and tie off on the dock. I would note if you have a deep V fiberglass direct shaft boat you might want to check the water level for not the public access launch and dock depth. Overall it was a great stay and was perfect for our up north family vacation!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in East Lake?
The best area to stay in East Lake is the Downtown district, particularly around the lakefront.Downtown East Lake is the heart of the city's activity, located directly on the shores of East Lake. This area is easily walkable and features a mix of modern developments and carefully preserved historic buildings. Main Street runs parallel to the lake, offering a selection of independent shops, high-quality restaurants, and inviting cafes. The waterfront promenade provides stunning views of the lake and is a pleasant place for a stroll.Couples often find this area ideal for a romantic getaway. Many of the boutique hotels in Downtown East Lake offer rooms with lake views, and there are numerous fine dining options superb for an evening out. The proximity to the East Lake Theatre, known for its live performances, also adds to the appeal for those looking for entertainment.For families, the area around Lakeside Park, just a short walk from Main Street, is an excellent choice. This neighbourhood offers a more residential feel with well-maintained green spaces and playgrounds. It's still very convenient for accessing Downtown's amenities, but provides a slightly more relaxed environment.
