Meet the founders
This land has been in the Brown family for over 140 years. It began as farmland back in the 1800s, developed by the beloved doctor of Round Mountain, who turned the soil into a thriving family legacy. Over generations, it was lovingly passed down through their children- each one adding their own chapter- until it reached us.
Today, our family is thrilled to welcome you to Sandbar Retreat. We’ve created a peaceful collection of modern lakeside cabins where couples and families can slow down, reconnect, and make new memories on Weiss Lake. Come stay with us- you’re part of the story now.
