Great Get Away Spot

Cozy cabin right on the water includes everything you need for a perfect stay. Very quiet and peaceful, great views. There are quite a few steps but they weren't a problem.

Cozy and clean

Extra care was taken to make our stay comfortable. The coffee station was filled with an assortment of blends plus hot chocolate and tea. There was a s’more package too! So thoughtful, we enjoyed visiting areas we hadn’t seen for years and then relaxing playing games and having a bonfire.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Emerson

Hi, we're Jim and Shari Emerrson. Jim is from Iowa and began vacationing on Big Sand Lake in the mid 60's when he was six years old, and was fortunate enough to buy a cabin there in 1994. Shari is from Park Rapids and we met for the first time at the cabins, and ultimately got married there. This is our personal cabin and we have spent many summers enloying the beauty of Big Sand Lake with family and friends. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

My family has been vacationing on Big Sand Lake since the early sixties and when the opportunity came up to buy these special cabins at Coolridge, I couldn't resist. It is the perfect spot to get away and now that I have my own son to spend time here, it has just come full circle.
