Perfect spot for a late summer stay

This property was in perfect shape for our visit. We've stayed in a few VRBO properties previously, but this was one of the best. Anything we needed unexpectedly - mending tape, a ruler, an interesting spice - was already in the house. We sat out on the deck on the nice days, and visited local shops and attractions on the one rainy day. The dock and raft were great for our very last chance at a summer swim, and the kayaks were enjoyed. We even had a close encounter with a family of otters who cavorted nearby. The check out time was 10 am, a bit earlier than usual for VRBO sites. The cleaning crew showed up at 10 when we were almost, but not quite in the car. They were willing to start cleaning around us as we loaded the last items, and were very kind. All around, a great, restful spot for a 5 day vacation after Labor Day. Thanks for the lovely spot!

Good property for a family stay

Spent a full week here in August. Found property as shown. Clean, very few bugs, well-stocked with pans & utensils, paper towels, etc., dining table for 8. Everything worked well. Water pressure and taste of water good. Nice furniture in all rooms. Recently remodeled(?) basement w. ping pong, lots of games & books, carpeting. Nice big deck w. outdoor furniture and a gas grill we used twice. Had 2 kayaks we used several times, a firepit and a nice dock we moored at, bringing our boat in from a nearby paved public access launch point. Lake was fairly nice and clean. Internet worked well. Good communications with owner.

Family vacation

Absolutely wonderful home! We enjoyed the ping pong table and the outside fire pit. Sand lake is beautiful and easily navigable. Our hosts, Peter and Heidi were always available by phone or text messaging. Nicely located with a short drive to local gas station and about 15 minutes to Hayward. Great family getaway and many memories made.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Stark & Heidi Kempcke

Well, we would have put our own photos in as "owners" but that wouldn't have been exactly true. We're really just life support for Rufus - our only modestly spoiled chocolate lab - and he's really the one who "owns" our life so it seemed more appropriate for him to represent us on VRBO. And, yes, he absolutely loves it here.

Our Sand Lake home was built by Art and Mary Ann Kempcke pretty much from the ground up and has been a part of the family for more than 30 years. It retains much of the feel of a Swedish "stuga" or lake home in accordance with Mary Ann's Swedish ancestry and carries the name "Seeblick" ("Lake View") as a nod to Art's German heritage. When Art and Mary Ann decided to move closer to their grandchildren in the Twin Cities, their daughter Heidi and her husband Peter purchased the house to keep it in the family.

Heidi and Peter live predominantly in Minneapolis, although both are fully engaged professionally - Heidi as a management consultant and Peter as a University professor - and travel a fair bit. When time permits - and the home is available - they spend time here ... Rufus wouldn't have it any other way.

Why they chose this property

Seeblick is a unique combination of rustic and civilized. It provides the opportunity to spend time outdoors in the great northern Wisconsin woods or on/in Sand Lake and then return to a convenient, comfortable and relaxing indoor retreat to recharge and refresh. We love the ability to spend the day out in the woods with Rufus and then enjoy sunset on the deck with a wine and cheese.

What makes this property unique

It's hard not to love the location. Seeblick is perfect for accessing the Birkebeiner trails (winter and summer), any number of forest trails or lakes, great restaurants and, our favorite, great sunsets.
