Beautiful and serene location

by Kim S. And Family
We love staying at the Hodge Podge Lodge. We have been staying there for years and the owner is always making improvements to enhance the experience. Big Sand Lake is beautiful and we always catch a lot of fish. My dad and I pan fish and the rest prefer the musky and pike. We have seen a bear, plenty of deer and foxes. The trees around the property allow it to be secluded. We love to see the lupines blooming and the other flora in the area. There are resident eagles and loons on the lake. I would recommend it to anyone for a relaxing stay.

Awesome time

by Awesome time
First time since 2017 that all 3 of our children, their spouses and the grandbabies were all under one roof. The cabin/home was clean and gave us plenty of space, the barn was a great addition for our daughter with 3 children. The lake was beautiful - the area on the left side of the pier was sandy and shallow (about 3ft) so the kids could jump off the pier, wade, look for sea shells etc.... weather cooperated. The cabin felt warm and comfortable. Neighbors were very nice and gave us some background info on the original owners. Being approximately 2 1/2 miles to the Michigan border we were able to visit the Casino in Watersmeet - with which we were impressed. When our youngest grandson asked what you call where we were staying - We simply replied "God's Country" - because it is a bit of a rural area- not a lot of traffic or noise. The level frontage to the lake was great for the kids to play catch, football, etc.... also good for fires and smores. Our vacation turned out awesome .There were a few glitches with the internet/WIFI but personnel at Hiller were able to quickly help us correct the situation. The Sand Pub off of State Hwy 17 and Grosser Lane has excellent food - service was quick and courteous. Eagle River is about 16 miles away with a Pick-n-Save (Kroger) grocery store. We have rented from Hillers before and we have never been disappointed. We will definitely be a return.

Hodge Podge Lodge rental

Overall it was good, the place was nice and clean and what I expected. The only complaint I had was the water heater wasn't working in the main cabin so I called to inform Hiller's about it and it was never fixed. Didn't end up being a huge deal because the water heater worked in the other building so I didn't bother calling again.

Very nice, cute place. Had everything we needed. Very nice approach to water. The water pressure in house was not that great. But the rest of everything was very enjoyable.

Beautiful Lake but make sure you are ok with what is included.

by Beautiful Lake but make sure you are ok with what is included.
The cabin was very rustic and had a lot of great character. The second sleeping area above the garage is nice for extra family or guests. A few things to be aware of with this property. There is no cell service inside the cabin and no Wi-Fi. In order to make a call or get data access for emails or maps I had to go out to the end of pier. Might not be a concern for some, but with small kids that was frustrating to me. Also, there is very limited parking and if the neighbors are at their cabin the road is filled as well. We were unable to park a medium sized fishing boat at this location based on the long road, tight drive, and limited space.

Fun In The Sun

by Fun In The Sun
We had a great week, the yard and lake area was perfect for little kids. The accommodations suited us perfectly, the rooms were clear and plenty of space to get some peace and quiet. We ate supper every night on the deck and later in the evening a camp fire. All of the kids caught some nice sized sunfish out on the lake and they made a great supper for all of us one night. The only thing that I would suggest is that the out side of the buildings could use some stain or paint.

Rustic cabin look with modern conveniences

by Rustic cabin look with modern conveniences
Our family loves Big Sand Lake. We've been coming to this lake for over 20 years. This is our favorite place to stay. The updates are fantastic. We love the rustic look of the cabin, but the updates are even better.
