Great week at the lake

We enjoyed our week at Lake Poskin. We loved having a great view of lake from inside house, deck. Plenty of space to spread out in cabin, lots of extras in kitchen. Appreciated the spacious yard for games, basketball hoop in driveway. Easy communication with owners. Loved being able to rent pontoon and kayaks etc. Easy access to stores, bars/restaurants. Lake was quiet most of the week. Would definitely rent again!

Relaxing

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed for a long weekend escape. It was a convenient place to use as a home base while going to antique stores and leaf peeping in the surrounding areas. Chuck and Susie were incredibly thoughtful without being intrusive. Thank you for your hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Carr

Host profile image
We have been sharing the lake home we were blessed with, as we do not have the time to enjoy it right now! We have had many of the same families come back year after year for the past decade! We enjoy telling about you about the local attractions, and having you relax and have the best vacation possible! Come stay and play....at our Northwoods Retreat!

Why they chose this property

The lake home you can vacation at has a nice level lot, with a view of the lake from every window! The sunsets are incredible, and it is a very quiet and peaceful lake...come and enjoy this beautiful property!

What makes this property unique

There is a 'no-wake law' in effect from 6 PM until 10 AM, making this the perfect lake for people who like a lot of action during the day, yet who like to fish and enjoy the quiet too!
