Welcome to this luxury home located in beautiful Sandy Cove! With its gorgeous, cathedral-style vaulted ceilings of pine wood, its floor-to-ceiling windows looking out past the expansive front deck to Big St Germain Lake, and its many on-site amenities that include water equipment and a firepit, this dog-friendly, lakefront home is a dream-come-true! Big St Germain Lake is a popular recreation site and is widely known for its terrific fishing, so don't forget to bring your poles and swim trunks, because your vacation is about to be filled with sun, sand, and lots of good times. Standing on a double, private lot with 268 feet of sand frontage positioned on the south shore of the lake, this home boasts beautiful bedrooms on each of its three levels. The home's great room enjoys an open concept dressed with lots of comfortable furniture, attractive wall art and decor, and soft, carpeted floors, all crowned by a handsome stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace. The full kitchen is equipped with a center prep island with barstool seating for five, stainless steel appliances, and all the cookware you need to make your next culinary adventure a joy to prepare. You can serve up to 12 dinner guests at the round dining table or take your meals outside to the furnished wraparound deck to enjoy the amazing lake views while you eat.

Off the great room, you'll find two bedrooms, each with queen-size beds, plus a full bath. Upstairs, the loft enjoys spectacular lake views and the main bedroom featuring a new, high-end queen mattress and a TV for some late-night entertainment, plus a full bath right next door. The lowest level features a large entertainment area with patio access, comfy furniture, a mounted flatscreen TV, and the fourth bedroom boasting two twin bunks and a queen bed with a new, high-end mattress, plus patio access. The lower level includes a full bath, a washer and dryer, and lots of books and board games to explore during your stay. After a full day of paddleboarding or fishing, come home to stream your favorite Youtube, HBO, and Netflix movies and shows on any TV while munching on hot, buttered popcorn or catch up on a favorite novel out on the deck. You'll love throwing a little char on today's fresh catch with the gas grill then heading down to the firepit to toast marshmallows with the kids. And there's nothing like the beautiful fall colors you'll find, come Autumn. Here for the winter? The snowmobiling is practically famous here! The home's high-speed internet and free WiFi make it quick and easy for remote workers and students to complete their projects on time. No matter what time of year you visit, this amazing three-level home is sure to provide you with the vacation experience of your dreams!

In the summer, you'll enjoy jet skiing, swimming, and open water fishing on many of the nearby lakes including Big Saint Germain Lake, and you'll also have access to the ATV trail systems. Our winter guests enjoy ice fishing and snowmobiling the hundreds of miles of groomed trails in northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan. Besides the many outdoor activities, you'll also be close to town for shopping, restaurants, and ice cream for the kids.

Parking will require a smaller that a 29’ trailer and 4wd, there is a optional parking lot in town right by the groomer barn where I left my van and trailer for 4 day’s with no problem. I rode a sled back to cabin. The other group dropped their trailer and brought their truck to cabin. There is only a small turnaround at the end of the street that would be extremely difficult with any trailer. I had to back out the whole street to the highway. Not recommended!!! Getting in the door with key pad can be trying, if any number lights up red just stop and pause start over! We didn’t ride through the yard down to the lake but there is a stump and septic stuff to be aware of. The place is giant a super nice and I will stay again. The trail crosses the street at the highway. You must eat at Blink Bonnie’s and the Wolf Pack.

Two nights at Sandy Cove
We drove for 5 hours and were very tired. When we checked in around 5pm it was like a Shangrila ! All was clean and tidy and so beautiful and QUIET! The boys (15 and 17) took a picnic with them on the first day in the canoe and were gone for about 2 hours! We sat around the firepit in the evening doing S'mores. The only apparatus which did not work was the gas outdoor grill. We were able to light it but the heat didn't get high at all not enough to cook anything so we had to cook our steaks inside-which was fine! All in all a truly beautiful experience and one we will cherish forever-we return to the UK on Sunday , that is the airlines are not all on strike, and we would come here again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

Lovely cabin on the water
Stayed 5 nights with family and friends here and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Overall loved the property. Some specific pros and cons below: Pros: - Beach access was good - Clean spaces - Ample parking - Good for people with kids (pack and play, high chair) - Big dining area - Good for pets (we brought our dog and he was so happy) - Nice fireplace and outdoor fire pit - Nice beach amenities (paddle boat, life jackets, etc) - Large beach area - Beautiful view from cabin - Laundry use - Plenty of bathroom space / showers and no shortage of hot water - Short distance from restaurants/ grocery/ shopping area Cons: - Small kitchen - Keurig didn’t work but took up space - Screen doors didn’t move well at all (this was majorly annoying) - Sporty lake - if you don't have a boat/jet ski etc can be hard to enjoy kayaking or paddle boarding outside of the immediate beach area - Mattresses uncomfortable, would suggest bringing own pillows as well - No garbage disposal - Larger vacuum on site would be appreciated for easier guest cleanup

Nice area
Renting was very nice and easy to use. Area was nice, able to fish had a swing for kids, games and books. Nice large table to eat and tables outside. Kitchen counter space was small. Bathroom water smelt like sewage. Gas grill did not really work only one burner worked and very hard to grill.

Lived up to high expectations
We had a wonderful long Easter weekend at this property. We were blessed with some great weather and had a flawless experience with the home. Very well appointed and supplied kitchen made cooking meals a breeze and in spite of some chilly evenings, the house was warm and comfortable throughout all three levels. TVs and WiFi easy to use when needing a break from the outdoors. We weren’t able to use the outdoor fire pit due to high fire danger but the fireplace worked great for some indoor smores. Lake was gorgeous and crystal clear. I’m sure the canoeing, swimming, and fishing would be excellent when the weather warms. Nice quiet road for walks and plenty of space for our small dog to stretch her legs. LOTS of wildlife to hear and see and pitch black skies for lots of great star viewing at night. Large upper level deck made for a great morning coffee and evening glass of wine spot. Communication from property owners was clear and zero problems experienced during trip. A very good value based on our experiences with other vacation rentals in northern Wisconsin.

Snowmobile trip
Great property. Stayed to hit snowmobile trails, great location, right off trail system. Plenty of sleeping room and good amenities, place was clean. Was a bit cold due to very cold temps outside but fireplace came in handy. Would like to re-visit in summer. Lake access situation looks great! Did not need to contact property management.
