Stunning Lake front home located on Big St Germain Lake!

This executive caliber log sided home offers it all, with modern amenities, classic north woods décor, unbelievable lake views, and a spacious 2450 square foot layout. The moment you step in, you may never want to leave!

Sandy Shores offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Your master bedroom is located on the main level with sliding doors that open towards the lake. The master bath offers a whirlpool and separate shower along with a walk in closet. Another bedroom and bathroom are on the main level, and two more bedrooms and one more bathroom are on the second level leading from a loft that overlooks the great room. Sandy Shores comfortably sleeps 12.

Your great room offers floor to ceiling windows looking directly into the water. 100 year old Red Pines grace the yard as part of the landscape. A big screen tv, 22' high cathedral ceiling, and stone fireplace warm the living area. The dining area and custom kitchen flow nicely from the great room into an open living concept.

Most rooms offer a “Big Lake” view of Big St. Germain Lake and 1600 acres of water. Big St. Germain Lake is actually a chain of 3 lakes with easy access into Lake Content and Fawn Lake too. The shoreline of this property is very “Sandy”, faces south for great sun exposure and watching sunsets, plus the shoreline offers a gradual taper for safe family swimming.

A great north woods vacation where you enjoy the indoors as much as you enjoy the out.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very enjoyable extended family lake vacation. Big St Germain lake is beautiful and uncrowded, and the location of the house is perfect. Enjoyed morning and late afternoons in the back yard, watching the bald eagles soar above the tall pine trees.House was very clean with lots of sleeping options. Plenty of blankets but had to bring our own towels.Only issues were very slow wifi (3mbps DSL) and low water pressure (only 1 person can shower / run water at a time).

Great lake access and cozy accommodations!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the ideal outdoor setup for the lake. With a flat lawn, we were able to play lots of yard games and easily pack up coolers for the boat! We loved that the dock had room for multiple boats as well. The house itself was cozy but spacious and fit our group nicely. The kitchen has a huge counter and great pantry storage. There were a few small issues at the house, but the property managers were aware of them and worked on getting them fixed in a super non-obtrusive way. Overall, we were really happy with our stay and would recommend this home to others looking for a peaceful getaway!

Big St Germain - Sandy Shores - Long time Renters

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love our location & the overall amenities at Sandy Shores.Gave 4 stars for the property’s general condition this year: 1) 2nd year in a row we had to deal w/ the internet/cable service.Internet issue the previous year & cable issue this year.Home advertises Wi-Fi & Cable so renters should not have to deal with the frustration of these issues not working as advertised when they arrive especially when premiums are paid for the higher-end rental homes.We are “work-from-home” individuals & have to be able to rely on these technologies if needed even on vacation unfortunately. Although we dealt with these techy issues, the property management company was & always is fantastic & found a solution for us fairly quickly. 2) The carpets could use a deep cleaning. 3) Double bed mattress in bunk room & 1 of the beds in the 2nd bedroom on 2nd floor are very uncomfortable. 4) Grass had not been cut for days before we arrived on a Friday and was never cut throughout our 7 day stay which is unusual b/c someone usually arrived to cut the grass while we are on-site in years past. The tall grass & weeds was a bit annoying this year for everyone & a couple people had chitter bites all around their ankles from it. Gave 4 stars for cleanliness because when we arrived the home smelled very strong of prior “cooking” vs the clean sanitized smell we normally walk into. Had to wipe down range top, kitchen counters, bathroom counters, toilets, sinks and 2nd floor tub with random hair in them & grime remnants. We moved a bathroom rug & a bunch of grit fell out of it so it made us feel like if we had old, unclean rugs down, what else was there that might not have been fully cleaned/sanitized. We’ve rented for many many years and have seen all levels of vacation homes. Sandy Shores is by far our favorite, even though there were a few shortcomings the last couple of stays, we still rate this as one of the best, we’ll be back. (Updated sofa appre

Sandy Shores review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was very clean, very spacious we had 11 people. Good parking for 3 large enclosed trailers. The only negative feedback I have is the water pressure was extremely low you need to monitor your showers and only have 1 at a time and give the shower a 5 minute headstart too build-up enough pressure then it is still just mediocre. Yes u would still stay again the location was good.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property on St.Germain lake was everything we had hoped for in terms of a well maintained vacation rental in a relatively quiet location. With moderate boat/ jet ski noise, walking distance to 2 restaurants (just okay), easy access to paved bike trail, great golf nearby, and private dock; which you should pay the extra cost of having a brand new pontoon boat for the week ( and you don't even need to worry about fuel). The house fit our needs for a family reunion and really can sleep 14 if everyone gets along in terms of sharing bedrooms and baths (only 2 showers w/ marginal water pressure, but nicely decorated). The kitchen is very well appointed for a large group, though an extra card table is needed if everyone sits down for dinner. All things considered this is an excellent property with responsive management, but you can't have it the end of July as we have already rebooked for next year.
