Discover the perfect 1+ acre lakeside private retreat at Blue Heron Hideaway on Red Sand Lake and the myriad attractions of the Brainerd Lakes Area (BLA). Nestled on the tranquil shores of Red Sand Lake, this charming cabin promises an idyllic escape with stunning sunset views that make every evening a picturesque event. This family-friendly 4+-bedroom, 2-bath haven offers a serene sandy beach, 100 feet of lakeshore, dock and a large yard where relaxation and nature meet.

MAIN LEVEL>A welcoming foyer and a functional mudroom greet all who enter, but the views of Red Sand Lake and the large property steal the show. Everyone seems to gather in the kitchen, and you will love the hub of our home. This kitchen can handle everything a big-group can throw its way. The adjoining upper level living room offers a sunny space with fireplace and 55 television, there is plenty of space for everyone. An office space off the kitchen offers a quiet space if work needs to be done and doubles as bedroom if needed. There is also a large main level master bedroom with access to the shared bathroom. Step outside to fire-up the Blackstone or just enjoy a beautiful up-North sunset. The full-bath rounds-out the layout of the main level.

LAKE LEVEL
This is where the fun is! Our convenient lake-level home lets you stay close to all the action of the lake. Facing the lake are three (3) bedrooms - 1 queen, 1 queen + bunk beds, 2 twin beds. Cards, dice, board games, and a 65 television are available in the lower level living space for those late summer night gatherings. The full bathroom is the perfect place for a quick shower after a fun day in the sun. Throw your suits and towels in the laundry room right next door and enjoy the evening.

OUTDOORS
Feel free to take out our paddle board or kayaks and explore the lake. Plenty of parking is available in the driveway for cars or trailers with toys. The gentle elevation of the lake-side of the property makes it easy to get back-and-forth from the dock to the house when necessity strikes. Our little sand beach and gently-sloping, sand bottom swimming area is perfect for all ages. Ample dock space is available to tie-up your boat or other water toys. A rock fire-pit with Adirondack chairs is the quintessential way to end those long summer nights.

100' lake shore with long, private dock. Red Sand Lake is 521 acres with a max depth of 25 feet. Most of the lake is around 10 feet or less. Public boat launch is less than 10 minutes from the property.

Walk-in swimming area with gradual slope - perfect for little kids.

We're sure your family will enjoy Blue Heron Hideaway as much as our family has for the short, yet memorable, time she's been ours.

    The cabin was fantastic. Exactly how pictured and advertised. Very clean, lots of room. Kids downstairs, adults upstairs. Kitchen was large enough to have a number of cooks working at the same time. Blackstone grill was a big plus. Great parking. It was exactly what we needed for 7 adults and 4 kids. Great family rental. Steve was extremely quick to respond to questions. Definitely a 5 star rental

    Beautiful home, well equipped kitchen, perfect trees to hang our hammock annd fun zip line between trees for the little kids. The owner was extremely responsive through VRBO messages when we had questions. Great fire ring, sandy area for kids play. Shallow, clear water and sand bottom along the dock had small shells accumulated so not ideal for swimming. Beyond the dock lots of weeds and mucky bottom. Loved the standup paddle boards. We drove over to Whipple Beach, only a 5 minute drive, where there’s great swimming, large sandy beach, picnic tables playground and nice restrooms. Nice Blackstone gas grill with griddle top. Nice to have swimming towels provided.

    Loved our stay at Blue Heron. It was so clean and the amount of bedrooms worked well for our family of 9! Keep in mind the only table is in the kitchen - with benches. The beach would be great for children as it’s shallow and sandy but gets super weedy once it’s waist deep. The office is actually a great BR for 1. It is a quiet lake with shopping only 5 minutes away if you need it. Wish the lakeside deck had a table and comfortable chairs . Glad we brought serving utensils! The grill is actually a Blackstone griddle type and was fun to use! A great retreat for all 9 of us!
