Sand Bay Resort - Beautiful cabin views

Upon arrival we found a filthy bathroom . when a man has to clean the toilet before being able to…read moreuse it, you know its bad.....and there was a huge wad of long hair on the floor and the shower was obviously filthy. Giving credit, where credit is due, the staff came immediately to clean the bathroom, after I trudged down to the office to request this service. The property is poorly maintained, a couple of roofs obviously sagging, hose, mower and broken stepstool laying around by the fish cleaning house all week long. The inside pine work on the walls was shoddy as was the caulking around the shower etc. The office/store only sells sweatshirts, hats and fuel for the boats. No grocery items of any kind, not even a snack vending machine. . Our group rented two cabins . Not once during the entire week's stay did any of the staff come to find out if we needed anything, if we were comfortable..... They also never serviced the cabins. Not once! Nor did any of the staff nor the proprietors give any of us a "thank you" for renting from them - not even when we checked out. After all common courtesy goes a long way, but that was missing as well. I did not feel welcomed and I will not be returning there - definitely did not get my moneys worth .. This Sandbay Resort of today is a far cry from the beautiful and well kept resort of fifteen years ago. There are many gorgeous resorts around that area, better maintained, better furnished -including towels which were not provided here - and less expensive.

Great place to take a family. We have been going there as a family of 16-17 people everyyear for…read more50 plus years. Very clean cabins, great service,clear and sandy water, and just a great value money wise to take a family. We all cross out the calendar until the next visit. Wish we were 250 miles closer to the lake.

We had a BLAST! Holly Woods is the friendly, laid back owner of this family lake resort. At the…read moretime of this review, the website was outdated, but we worked with Holly to get information. She accommodated our requests before we arrived and was responsive during our stay. Our group of 30 middle-aged adults rented a giant, brand new, beautiful log-cabin-style three-level connecting duplex tucked back into the woods just a short walk from the beach. It's not on the website (as of this review). Entrance from the parking area includes a concrete patio with chairs surrounded by grass and a nearby fire pit with bench seating. An entryway on each side of the duplex has a full-size fridge/freezer, counter, and storage. Off of each entry: One bedroom with a queen and another bedroom with two queens (Holly also added a single bed in the queen/queen per our request), a full bathroom, and a utility room with plenty of blankets and towels. Going up the stairs, each side has a living/dining space with a large TV, a fully-equipped kitchen (with dishwasher) and bar seating, two bedrooms with queen beds, a full bathroom, and a washer/dryer. The kitchens connect with a door between them and each kitchen has a sliding glass door leading to a wrap-around porch with nice charcoal grills, lounge chairs, pub tables/stools, and patio dining. A hammock hangs in the big Minnesota trees. It's lovely! Open to below, each side has an open loft on the third floor with full-size and single beds (per our request) that wasn't ideal for sleeping in our group since you can hear any noise from the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, doors, etc. but the lofts are spacious and comfortable with ceiling fans (and the whole house has A/C). A short walk to the swimming beach with a volleyball net and swimming platform, this resort has the perfect location because the loungers have a view of the sunset across the water and the beach always has sun rather than being shaded from the trees (like the resort across the lake). Our house rental included canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats. For an additional fee, we had access to paddle boards and reserved a pontoon from sunrise to sunset. The water was clear and clean and surprisingly quiet over the July 4th holiday weekend. Next time I would inquire about hiring a local house cleaner since part of our rental agreement was that we would clean the house when we left. It was OK because we all pitched in, but it would have preferred to hire someone. In general, I loved the vibe and didn't want to leave.

We have been going to Hollywood's for seven years now for a family fishing and recreation vacation…read more The accommendations are perfect for our family needs. Holly and Pat are great hosts. Our oldest granddaughter this year said she likes this vacation more than Disneyland!
