Escape… completely!

Enjoy a well-deserved getaway – winter is the perfect time to stay at The Cabin on the Hill!


Gather by the fire, relax, connect, and unwind in the utter peace and quiet of Big Sandy Lake. Watch the snow fall through the two-story picture windows, watch your favorite streaming in the radiant-heated lower-level. Decompress in the eight-person sauna, and perhaps even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights! If the Up North Winter Wonderland is your thing: ice fish on Big Sandy Lake, rent snowshoes at nearby Portage State Park, or explore the 600 miles of maintained snowmobile trails throughout Aiken County.

**On-premises parking for up to four vehicles and sled trailers!

Private, spacious, Big Sandy Lake retreat. Located on the “Gold Coast” of Big Sandy Lake, this cabin is the perfect getaway for friends and family. This chalet style cabin encompasses 3+ bedrooms, 2 baths, loft facing the lake, a sauna, 2 large and open living spaces, floor to ceiling windows and a very well appointed kitchen. There is plenty of space for 10 people to gather or find some privacy when needed. The cabin has over 100 feet of sandy beach shoreline, docks and a swim platform. There is a pontoon boat that is an optional rental as well; bring it up when booking if interested. Several fire pits on the property and all the wood you need for hanging by the fire making s’mores with the loved ones. Towering pines adorn the property with the rear of the cabin bringing in the resident eagles. Your likely to catch a glimpse of them while enjoying coffee on the wrap-around deck facing the lake.

Only 2-2.5 hours from the Twin Cities makes getting here a snap. There are several restaurants directly on Big Sandy, which you can boat to, and several other land-locked restaurants nearby. Groceries, gas, coffee shop, bakery, ice cream and the occasional “hardware” needs are within a few minutes drive.

Hiking, fishing (great Walleye and Northern lake – you can catch them right off the dock), ATV and Trail riding (bring your own), and all the water sports you can imagine; swimming, splashing, floating, kayaking, etc. When, and if your crew tires of water fun, we also have provided an assortment of lawn games, Corn Hole, Spike Ball, Ladder Ball, frisbees, etc. And, if the weather turns sour, we’ve got you covered with High-speed internet, a cozy indoor wood burning fireplace (with all the wood you need), in-floor radiant heat on the lower walk-out level, and ALL THE STREAMING services with a 70 inch tv and surround sound, a sweet little Sauna (again), and an assortment of board games and puzzles. Lastly, for golfers, Minnesota National Golf is just around the corner (10 min drive) and is an outstanding course bring all that Upper MN Golf has to offer.

It’s our deepest hope that anyone who books with us, wants for nothing, enjoys their stay, and leaves refreshed and more connected to those they shared the cabin with, than when they arrived.

    We had a truly wonderful stay at this cabin. The space was peaceful, well-kept, and perfect for creating memories with family. One of the highlights of our trip was hiking up to the Sandy Lake Fire Tower, which offered an unforgettable view of the surrounding nature.As an East African family, this type of retreat isn’t something we grew up with, but staying here allowed us to create new traditions together. The cabin gave us the perfect setting to laugh, relax, and connect in a way we’ll carry with us long after our trip.We are deeply grateful for the experience and would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a place to unwind, reconnect, and make lasting memories

    We had a blast at the cabin! The location was awesome. It was super quiet. We took full advantage of the Lily Pad, and had a lot of fun on the pontoon. We spotted swans, loons, and 2 eagles right outside the windows of the cabin. We highly recommend two restaurants, McGregor Baking Company for delicious treats and sandwiches/salads, and The Craft House for anything on the menu. There were plenty of games and books for young kids, and paper/markers for creating artworks.

    Loved the location and the accommodations. We had 6 adults and 4 kids and everyone was comfortable inside and outside the home. Kids were able to catch fish from the dock, play on the lily pad and other water toys. Lower level was great space for kids to play while adults had space on main level. Kitchen was equipped with everything you may need. Hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. We had a great time and made memories that we will cherish.

    House was very clean and we were welcomed with a super cute Welcome Basket. We basically stayed inside all weekend, as it was rainy all day and night. Plenty of seating at the table and in the livingroom. Kitchen was very cute and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy as well. Great place, would stay again and recommend to others! Thanks for having us!

    We spent a long weekend at Cabin on the Hill with family and it was the perfect location! Big Sandy was beautiful and had plenty to do - fishing, swimming, kayaking, and restaurants and resorts within boating distance. The cabin was beautiful and well-stocked and made for the perfect home base. We will certainly be back!

    Such a great time in this beautiful home on a blissfully quiet bay of Big Sandy. Wonderful, well-appointed kitchen, great outdoor spots for beach play, campfires, lawn games. We so appreciated the many small hospitality details- coffee mugs for early mordiendo by the water, lots of kids beach toys (and adult beach toys), a bottle of wine and fixings for s’mores to make everyone happy- really one of the best, most welcoming places our family (G&G, adult children and 2 young grandchildren) have stayed. Very much looking forward to coming back!!! Thank you so much!!!

    Cabin was just as advertised! We loved the big wrap-around deck, the comfy beds, the pontoon & dock, coffee in the morning and having access to the water toys, sauna, games, and well-stocked kitchen. Access down to the lake was a little tough for my parents (in their mid 70's), but the rest of us had no issues with it. Would definitely recommend! The cabin is beautiful and hosts were easy to reach when needed.
