Mark was great to work with. The cabin had everything we needed and was the perfect spot to take our pups on their first trip. The lake was peaceful and even though we didn’t get to take advantage of it, would be perfect to paddle around. We enjoyed some hiking at nearby state parks.

Amazing Getaway for Labor Day

This cute cabin has everything for a relaxing weekend! We had great times sitting around the fire, using the row boat, backyard games, and grilled a lot of food! Very clean and excellent communication from the owners! We even golfed at Northern Bay. I would definitely recommend for a peaceful and relaxing weekend!!

Yearly family reunion

Our regular vrbo was canceled, we had to find a new rental. It's not easy finding something close to where our family reunion is. This was still about 9 miles away, but looked cute, so we went ahead and chose it. It was cute and cozy. Would recommend there is lots to do at the

Nice getaway

The property was nice with lots of things to do outside due to the owners who supplied boats and fishing gear. The lake was full of weeds so we did not swim. The inside was the right size for 4 people, not sure how more would fit to sit and enjoy each other’s company. Plenty of seating outside.

Amenities provided should state only 4 rolls of toilet paper. Outside area had not been swept in weeks; found wolf spiders in the cornhole boards. No railings around back deck. Railings by firepit were so inadequate; while sitting in a chair a person could still fall onto the rock/granite/marble slope.

Home away from home.

Extra detail given to the comfort from bedrooms to decor. Kitchen well appointed. The Mrs. more than happy with having a washer and dryer. The views very scenic! The beach is very clean and fishing was fun. Liked the blinds on the windows. Quite a lot of activities provided games cane poles and more. Our hosts replied FAST to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again, resort quality! Loved it.

Wonderful weekend

The check in was smooth, while we did not meet the owners they were clear about being available if needed. The property setting has a very secluded feel to it and wonderful lake access, we used all the boats and other amenities and enjoyed them but none so much as the nice chairs around the fire pit where we had our coffee in the morning and read books in the afternoon and watched the sunset in the evening, I want that space, yes it was that nice. The cabin us fully appointed and we lacked for nothing, when they say bring your food and clothing, that is truly all you need. We loved our 3 day stay, wished it were longer and reccomend it to others

Amazing experience!

A true gem of a stay! From a very secluded area surrounded by trees to an amazing sand area for our daughter to play, to the beautiful lake and included boats this was such a great stay! We took our daughter and we loved every minute of it! Even though it rained and was cooler we were able to play games inside and enjoy the patio and firepit area! We loved the boats and beach area when it was sunny! Close enough to Friendship and Adams there was food and groceries as we needed! The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. Thank you so much! We would definitely recommend this is anyone!

Nice getaway

We visited for a nice lake house stay, combined with a college visit to UWSP. The cabin was clean, tastefully rustic. Our teen daughter enjoyed fishing and catching minnows and crayfish. This would have been an ideal spot to bring the kids when they were younger to play in the sand and water! All in all it met our expectations, and owner is responsive. The only thing I needed was a cookie sheet, but we improvised and it was fine. We will probably stay at the cabin closer to Stevens Point next visit :)

Rural retreat

The cabin is in a lovely location, but disappointing for the price. The inside was quaint and clean, but the outside furniture and deck were too dirty to use. The boats available for an additional cost were old and unappealing. The host has many cameras on the outside. The property on the outside looks neglected. The host encourages guests to write a five star review and I believe 5 stars are not warranted.

Perfect Family Cabin, Full of Thoughtful Details <3

We stayed here for a couple of nights with our 3 children. The beach was absolutely amazing. There were beautiful yellow irises skimming the water and at sunset it looked like a movie set :) We can see that the owners / builders put so much heart and thought into every little detail. There are swings, toys, books, games, free Netflix and Hulu, and all the fun boats we could ask for! There are quirky decorations outside, like home-made birdhouses and boat planters. The property is very large. There were lots of blankets and towels. They have a really neat heating system, where you can control the temperature in each room. There were several nearby options for picking up toiletries and groceries. We liked our trip to Friendship for the parks and Dollar General! We really enjoyed ourselves. The owners were very kind, accommodating, and friendly. Thank you :)
