Escape to our tranquil and secluded retreat, perfect for quality time with family and friends.

Surrounded by trees for added privacy, you'll feel like you're in your own secluded paradise.

Indulge in the ultimate relaxation as you soak in the beauty of the lake from our hot tub, where stunning sunsets paint the sky in a mesmerizing display of colors. Whether you're unwinding after a day of adventures or simply enjoying each other's company, the hot tub experience is sure to become a cherished favorite.

With a sandy bottom lake, our property is ideal for swimming right off the dock or boat. Take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters or bask in the sun on the sandy shore. Fishing enthusiasts will delight in the abundance of fish in Sauk Lake, making it a prime destination for casting a line and reeling in your catch of the day.

Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or simply a peaceful retreat in nature, our lakeside getaway offers an unforgettable experience for all.

Beautiful home
Comfortable beds, great host communication, loved the hot tub, well equipped kitchen, paddle boat, kayaks. Many steps down to dock were not a problem. Late summer visit so lake was green, and no sandy area, we couldn’t swim. But we had a wonderful time! Sauk Center is a great little town with a splash pad.

Quick family getaway
The fishing off the dock was great - LOTS of perch and largemouth bass. We caught a few rock bass and small walleye off the dock too. The property manager is very communicative and responsive to any questions. The weather didn't cooperate for our stay, so we did not use the hot tub. We enjoyed the pontoon and paddleboat when the rain and wind permitted, but regardless we had a great stay.

Picturesque Bachelorette Party
I rented this cabin to host my friend’s bachelorette party and it was the perfect spot for our low key and relaxing celebration. Gorgeous view of and access to the lake, lots of yard games, hot tube, great seating options indoor and out to host our group. Chad was very helpful and responsive before and during our stay, you can tell he takes pride in his property and ensuring his guests have a memorable experience! Would absolutely recommend for anyone, just be thoughtful about your groups ability to conquer the steps down the dock (our group had no problem but could be a challenge for older folks or children). PS we appreciate the complimentary bottle of red!

Great stay
A very cozy little home on the lake. Felt clean and modern. Host is super responsive whenever we had issues. A few things werent working. I mentioned to the owner and expect they will get sorted out. Little stuff like the hand soap pump being broken, the elliptical's electrical connection was severed. Also there are almost 50 steps down to the dock, which was a bummer, but doable for all of us except my mom. All in all though it was a pleasant and cozy stay in a nice place. Beds are super comfy. Foosball and cornhole was really fun. Hot tub is really nice. We also rented the pontoon and it is a wonderful brand new pontoon.

Wonderful getaway for a girls weekend!
My high school friends & I stayed at this adorable, comfy & spacious home for our annual girls weekend and absolutely loved it! We enjoyed the view, played games, talked smart around the bon-fire, went for walks and had a great time! As always, we ran out of time. Didn't even have time to make use of all of the amenities! Enjoyed the home so much we never left all weekend!

Very pleasant lake home on a very nice family lake
Our three families really enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were exactly as described, we had some fun family time with their yard games, enjoyed two bonfires at night, and several pontoon loops around the lake on their beautiful and well equipped boat. Very nice!

We had a fantastic time at this beautiful house! We could not think of anything that was not included at this property. The yard was perfect for yard games, the view of the lake is beautiful and we loved the fire pit. The house is very spacious and everyone in our group commented on how comfortable the beds were. The kitchen is extremely well stocked also. It was a very positive experience!

This cabin was perfect for our little family escape. The fires were cozy and perfect for the space. The various spaces allowed for us to be together or apart as much as we wished. We highly enjoyed our time at the cabin and definitely recommend it to any family looking for a fun retreat.
