    Sandy Cove



    The Space:

    Welcome to Sandy Cove — your private Northwoods escape on the sparkling shores of Big St. Germain Lake. Set on a double lakefront lot with 268 feet of sandy frontage, this spacious, dog-friendly home features a rare zero-entry beach—perfect for kids, easy wading, and launching paddleboards with ease. Inside, cathedral pine ceilings, a wall of lake-facing windows, and three beautifully appointed levels create the ideal setting for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying every season. Step into the great room, where soaring ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create a true lodge-style atmosphere. Settle into plush seating, take in the sweeping lake views, and enjoy the open layout that flows seamlessly into the full kitchen. Home cooks will appreciate the stainless steel appliances, center island with seating for five, and all the essentials for effortless vacation meals. A round table for 12 sits just beside the windows—perfect for family dinners—or head out to the furnished wraparound deck for outdoor dining with a front-row view of Big St. Germain Lake. This home offers four inviting bedrooms spread across three levels, giving groups both comfort and privacy. Main level: Two queen bedrooms and a full bath. Loft level: A lake-view sitting area and the primary bedroom featuring a high-end queen mattress and TV, plus a full bath. Lower level: A spacious entertainment room with patio access, plus a bunk room with two twin bunks and a queen bed with another high-end mattress. The lower-level family room is stocked with games and books, a mounted flat-screen TV, and easy walkout access to the yard and shoreline. You’ll also find a full bath, an additional refrigerator, and a washer/dryer for added convenience. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines. Spend your mornings paddleboarding from the gentle, zero-entry sandy beach, take out the rowboat, canoe, or paddleboat, or cast a line—Big St. Germain Lake is beloved for its excellent fishing. In winter, guests can ride snowmobiles and equipment directly onto the frozen lake from the property for seamless access to the area’s extensive trail system. After grilling your fresh catch on the gas grill, end the day at the lakeside firepit under a sky full of bright northern stars. Visiting in fall or winter? The Northwoods delivers. Autumn brings breathtaking color surrounding the lake, while winter offers world-class snowmobiling, ice fishing, and access to hundreds of miles of groomed trails. Sandy Cove is located just down the street from snowmobile trails, ATV routes, and the paved bike path, making it easy to explore year-round adventure right from your doorstep. With high-speed WiFi, the home also supports remote work and study between outdoor excursions. Located just minutes from town, you’ll have easy access to local restaurants, shops, ice cream stops, and four-season recreation from boating to trail riding.

This was our third year staying at this home. It's perfect for our family. We love the location on a beautiful lake between St. Germain and Minocqua, very close to the bike path. We're returning next year!

Nice location on Big St Germain

The location was nice. We rented a pontoon boat and fished a couple days. We also rented kayaks and explored the attached Fawn Lake. Beach was a little small, but we were able to launch and return with the kayaks. Overall a good family house. Nice Firepit and outdoor game area. Cornhole/bags and giant connect four games were available. We did not use the fireplace due to the season, but it looked like it would be cozy in the winter.

Look no further! Fantastic place😁

This home is beautifully laid out and very well appointed in so many ways. The beds were so comfortable. Loved the large, round kitchen table for interactive dinners and games together while overlooking the lake. We rented a pontoon one of the days and docked it at our dock in the afternoon while the babies napped. This is in a nice quiet neighborhood. We were even visited every day by a deer and her twin fawns. Later we enjoyed the campfire in the evenings and the lawn games provided.

Well maintained, beautiful home

Our group of 8 adults vacationed to St. Germain for our annual snowmobile trip. We were not able to snowmobile due to the rare winter this region experienced this year, however the location for this type of activity would have been perfect. The trail system is extremely close to this property. This home is beautiful and well maintained. There was plenty of space for us all to enjoy our vacation comfortably. We could have easily fit another couple with us. The 3 full showers was very helpful. The home is well organized with specific signage that helps maintain that organization. It is obvious this home is run by a vacation company. Unfortunately, through Vacasa you are not able to directly connect with the homeowner. We had some specific questions and requests and the additional hoops to jump through made our experience with Vacasa a bit more challenging then other experiences we have had. A few notes before you go - the beds are firm, not a huge deal, but was certainly something we did not expect. We did not bring trailers but would have needed 2 if the trails were open. We did have a few conversations about how (or if) they would have fit in the parking areas. You cannot message the homeowners directly so I am not sure how you'd get the more specific information you would need in order to make decisions on how to park with trailers.

Great house!

This was our 4th year here. We love the house and it's location on the lake. Nice swimming area, especially for younger children because it's not deep and beach toys provided. There's also paddle boards and a canoe for the adults.
