Great Stay!

Travelled with wife, 2 kids and mother in law for long weekend. Couldn’t have asked for a better setup. Beautiful views and very nice and clean house with good outdoor space for activities. Bit of a steep hill to get down to the lake but we had no issues. Boat worked perfectly and the lake itself was great. It is very quiet, not many boats which we loved. Also took advantage of the paddle boards and canoe. As for fishing, the lake is shallow, between 5-15 feet max. Great shorelines and easy to find structure/drop offs and weed beds. The kids were catching small panfish almost immediately every cast with worms. We also caught some bass and good size northern (20-30in) Overall I highly recommend.

Time to Enjoy the Northwoods

Our family really enjoys our time in the Northwoods and this time was no different. The home was spacious with room for 8 of us to spread out. The bedrooms were comfortable with great pillows, and quality towels (always appreciated). The kitchen had many of the tools & dishware needed and the grill worked great as we cooked most meals at the house. Derek was also great communicating in advance of our stay. We fully took advantage of the pontoon, kayak and SUP. The lake was great for fishing and we saw a family of otters twice! The loons were also very active and eagles were ample too. We also loved the yard Jenga. The only reason that I didn't rate the property a 5 is that some spring cleaning is needed on the back porch and window screens. Lots of spiders and webs. I know it is the woods, so all the more reason to clean up. Two other notes for future guests: We are also big coffee drinkers and appreciated knowing the home only has a Keurig. We brought our own 10-cup pot to use instead. The wifi isn't very strong and no cell service (which is ok for me, but if I needed to work, it wouldn't have been likely). Just plan ahead!

Lake Life

This was a great place for our family vacation! It was quiet and away from everything. We cruised on the pontoon, fished, swam and listened to the loons by campfire.

Relaxing Cabin Retreat

Cabin is on an awesome lake away from the crowds but close enough to Hayward should you want/need to run into town. Owner was great to work with and being able to have use of the Pontoon was an added bonus! Would definitely stay here again.

Cheq 40 Mountain Bike Race Weekend

This cabin was great for our group of friends. Plenty of seating and spaces in the home to be together or spread out. We really enjoyed nighttime campfires. Derek the owner was efficient with responding to any questions we had before arriving. 100% appreciated the outside hose & water hook-up. Perfect for washing bikes after the race.

Majestic Northwoods

Enjoyable stay- The flowage was quiet, fishing was not too bad for July and we must have seen over 50 deer driving to Hayward four times during the week Recommend Tamarack Farms BBQ We would also recommend that a railing be added to the walk down to the lake in the middle section

Cycling Vacation

We stayed at the Loon property for 3 of the days of our yearly girls cycling week. Heard loons every morning and evening - it was so peaceful and a great place to come back to after riding. We swam, used the boat, and had fabulous dinners on the deck. We were so loving the peace and quiet that we never even turned on the TV. Beds are comfy and clean, kitchen well stocked with dishes and anything else you need to make meals. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Wisconsin Lake Vacation

This property was a great fit for our group of 5, 2 blended families. We used every inch of space throughout our week here. We LOVED the use of the pontoon and fished and cruised 4 of the 5 lakes on the chain. Excellent keeper fish the closer you get to Lower Twin Lake. We had fun catching little pan fish off the dock in the evenings. We had great fires in the evenings, played a lot of lawn games in the late afternoons, grilled dinner every single evening, took 2 mile walks each morning, very quiet and private. We loved our week! Could have been a little cleaner but that could be the times with lack of good and consistent help. We would highly recommend this property!

Love this cabin. Perfect for a weekend of fishing and poker with the boys. Gorgeous area in the spring where we saw all kinds of wildlife, caught plenty of nice bass and enjoyed perfect weather in an ideal setting. Derek is a great host who is very quick to respond, and the house has all the amenities you need for a fun weekend. We will be back!

Comfortable and quiet lodging

The home was clean and adequately equipped. The view of Tiger Cat Flowage is nice. Fall colors were great viewing. We liked the covered porch overlooking the lake. The stairs down to the lake were not tough even for us older folks. We felt very isolated which we enjoy. We would rent here again. Great place. There are a couple of negatives for us. The driveway was difficult to find with all the leaves on the ground. Had to guess a bit on the path. Our original reason for renting was for a fishing trip with friends. It usually involves two vehicles with boats. We like to fish different lakes during our visit. The driveway is not friendly for this setup. We feel it would be difficult getting cars and boats in and out.
