Wonderful place!

We had a wonderful long weekend! The house is bright, sunny and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. We loved the views onto the lake where had some lovely skiing and the stove was great to cozy up to after playing outside in the cold. Our host Linda was very responsive and accommodating. We hope to be back again, it was great in the winter and I am sure it's wonderful in the summer. We highly recommend!

Quiet & beautiful

We stayed there while attending a family wedding in the area. It's a lovely cozy home set up for comfort and convenience. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. We had a great time at the wedding festivities and this place offered us a quiet, beautiful place to rest and recover before we headed out for more. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great Cabin

The hosts provided a clean and beautiful cabin for our family to use. It had everything we needed for our stay and is located on a fishing and recreational boating lake. We were able to bring our boat and a private dock was available for us to use. The boat launch is very close as well. We definitely would book here again!

Beautiful home

The home was very nice and well cared for. The owners of the home share a driveway with this home, so if you need them they are close by. We had some minor issues with ants and housekeeping and low water pressure in the main shower, but all in all it was a beautiful property.

Wonderful Place to Stay

The house & property are amazing. Extremely clean with everything you can imagine in case you might have forgotten something. The beautiful yard is large & flat for easy walking. Nice dock with a chair for 2 to sit and fish. Had a camp fire one night and enjoyed watching boats and wildlife. Linda was so nice and helpfull. Loved the area. Charming people in the community that will welcome you as if they have known you for ages. We will be back for sure.

Relaxing weekend on the lake

We had a great stay at the lake! Photos and description are accurate and the property was very clean and well appointed. Linda was a great host...very responsive in the booking process and then checked-in with us to confirm arrival. There are beautiful views of the lake and area was quiet and relaxing. There is a bar and restaurant at the campground about 1/2 mile down the road and other places in town (about a 10 minutes) for dinner. The house has a full kitchen and there is a grill if you want to eat-in. We recommend this place without reservation.

Serenity

We were escaping the excessive heat and demands of managing our own rental property and home repairs. We were also celebrating the double hip replacement that my husband successfully completed. This lovely place was perfect for just relaxing, reading, and gazing out over the lake to watch the variety of boats going by. We also enjoyed some of the wonderful supper clubs in the area! If you're not from Wisconsin, you may not know about supper clubs. Each is unique but there is a definite ritual that they all follow. The old fashioned, the wonderful prime rib or fish, and then my husband's favorite - an ice cream drink creation usually in a martini glass!

First time using VRBO

Our family's first time using VRBO and the host did a magnificent job making us feel right at home. Linda and John had everything we ever needed, even had a nice pile of firewood for our use. The house and views were beautiful. The fish cleaning house was a great extra. My boys had a blast catching fish right off this properties dock, also Linda allowed them to fish off her personal dock. I can't say enough good things about our stay here.

Perfect.

Linda is a great host. The cabin worked great for our fishing trip. Didn't catch as many as we'd hoped but still found a few nice ones. Perfect location right next to the public boat ramp. Neighbors were friendly as well.

Beautiful Property - Beautiful Lake!

John & Linda are amazing hosts! We loved seeing all that they have done w/their properties. They inspired us so much for our future build, we plan to mimic their lake home. We’ll definitely be back & can’t wait to rent the log cabin next time. Thank you so much, John & Linda!

Excellent place to stay

We had such a great vacation here. The house was very clean and had everything that we needed. Linda came over when we first arrived. She went above and beyond being the host. We enjoyed talking to her, and she had a lot of good information about the area. The fishing was great off the dock, we didn't have a boat but will be getting one next year when we stay again. It was so nice just having the lake out the patio doors. It was quiet and we saw a lot of deer in the yard and the neighbors yard. We can't wait to return next summer. Thank you again Linda and John
