September at the lake might just be my favorite.

The summer crowds are gone. The lake is quieter. The mornings are crisp, the afternoons are still beautiful, and evenings practically beg for a fire by the water.

And we just happen to have a stretch of September open at Abide Lakeside Cottages:

September 8–22

Come for a couple of nights, make it a long weekend, or settle in and stay awhile.

Our cozy lakeside cottage sleeps 4-6 and sits on 40 peaceful acres on Big Sand Lake. You’ll have the lake just outside your door, with a canoe and kayaks available for getting out on the water—and plenty of room to simply slow down.

This is the kind of getaway for morning coffee overlooking the lake, afternoon paddles, books on the porch, campfires after dinner, and nowhere you need to be.

If you’ve been thinking you need a few quiet days away before fall gets busy, this might be your window.

Open September 8–22
2 bedrooms • 1 bathroom • sleeps 6
Canoe + kayaks included
40 private acres on Big Sand Lake
Lakeside evenings + room to breathe

We have a rare opening July 20–23!

If you’ve been saying, “We really need to get away for a few days,” this might be the perfect opportunity.

Picture yourself waking up to the sound of loons, sipping coffee on the deck, spending the afternoon on the water, and ending the day around the campfire under a sky full of stars.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful couples getaway, a few days with the family, or simply a chance to unplug and breathe, we’d love to host you.

Your stay includes:
🤍 Kayaks and a canoe
🤍 Excellent fishing
🤍 A quiet, wooded setting on Big Sand Lake
🤍 Space to slow down, reconnect, and simply enjoy being together

Because this is a last-minute opening, we’re also offering a special direct booking incentive for these dates.

If you’d like more information, photos, or the booking details, send me a message. I’d be happy to answer any questions!

We’d love to welcome you to Abide Retreats. 🌿

Calling all exhausted women!!!

Our cabin has last minute availability for July 7–8, and instead of letting it sit empty, I had an idea…

What if you texted your sister, your best friend, your mom, or the women who keep saying, “We really need to get away,” and actually did it?

No months of planning.
No waiting for “someday.”
Just two days to breathe.

Imagine…

☕ Coffee on the deck overlooking the lake.

🌅 Long conversations while the sun sets.

🚣 Kayaking, swimming, reading, napping—or doing absolutely nothing at all.

🔥 Campfires, laughter, and the kind of deep rest you have been needing .

Sometimes the best memories aren’t the ones we spend months planning. They’re the ones we almost talked ourselves out of.

If you’ve been running on empty, maybe this is your sign.

These two nights are available July 7–8 and can be booked directly through me. I’ll even have fresh pastries from A Little Something waiting for you when you arrive.

Send me a message if this little midweek escape has your name written on it. 🤍

There is something about a sunset on the lake.

No two are ever exactly the same, and each one seems to invite us to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and remember what matters most.

These are just a few of the sunsets we’ve been blessed to witness here at Abide Retreats.
