Yearly Family Vacation

It was gorgeous. Very clean. The owner was available and helpful. Great fishing and swimming. Water was a little low for kayaking. Large yard for activities. Fire pit and grill. Lots of room for sleeping. Few doors difficult to close and dishwasher was not working. Could use one more frig for large groups. Overall it was amazing and i would highly recommend it.

One of the best stays in northern Wisconsin!

The house and property were clean and well maintained. Beautiful little river running through the large open backyard. Very private. It’s what everyone pictures when they describe their dream up north cabin. We’ll definitely be back!
