We just spent 3 days at this property and truly enjoyed the beautiful lake view and the very close proximity to water. The fire pit area was very nice and relaxing. We enjoyed listening to the loons while we enjoyed our fire. Boat and jet ski traffic in the area were minimal and provided for a calm relaxing stay. We also enjoyed fishing from the pier.We went to the main lodge for a meal the first day. Our food was delicious.We plan to check out other properties that Gary owns or manages in the area.

The Chain Lake Hideaway was as described. Communication with Gary was easy and prompt. His recommendation to speak with Bill on renting a boat was very helpful! The house was clean and had some updates for the master bath and added bunks in 2nd bedroom that was a nice surprise from the online listing. We really enjoyed the fire pit area at night and the gas fireplace when it unfortunately rained. The lake is a little small but you can have a wake which was fun for tubing, but the water was unfortunately red, wondering if some issues with bacteria or algae/fungus? All in all the property was good and would recommend for small groups to have fun up at the Northwoods!

Ashley, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at this property. The tea color of the lake is from the iron in our local soils and the tannins from the trees that drain in from our local wetlands and creeks, not a fungus/algae or bacteria. Thanks for your reservation.

R&R accomplished

This was our 2nd time staying at this property this year. We really needed a getaway and this was the place for us. Home is comfortable, very clean and has great amenities. Convenience of getting to Eagle River, lake being right out the back door and scenery is fantastic. Even saw a deer in the front yard and an eagle soaring over the dock. We are hoping to make this a yearly visit.

Relaxing vacation

Spent a week at the property and it exceeded expectations. Property was clean, well provisioned and comfortable furniture. Excellent fishing off of dock, a large variety of fish (very large bluegills, rock bass, crappie, sunfish, northern and even a musky). Will definitely return to this rental in the future. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

lakeside relaxation

We enjoyed our stay at this house on the lake. Communication with the property manager was easy, as was entrance to the property. The property itself is what we expected. The setting was lovely ,right on the lake. We made use of the screened gazebo and rented the pontoon for a day. The back yard is right on the water and includes a fire pit. The house is well equipped. The furniture is older but comfortable. It is what we expected from a rental house. The house could use a thorough cleaning, however. The bathroom and kitchen were very clean but the furniture needed a dusting. Overall, we enjoyed staying here and felt we got our money's worth.

Nice Lake House

Nice lake house on Chain Lake. Loved how close we were to the water and the dock was great. We brought our pontoon and were able to visit all 5 lakes. I would definitely rent again.

Location was nice

All things were good. Location was close to Eagle River and St. Germain. Out side needs some TLC, but inside was good. Kitchen had everything needed to cook . Nice big living room and lots of sitting area. TV channels are limited. but you are there for the outdoor experience. The fire pit area was nice and the dock was nice. Fishing off the dock was good. The dog loved the jumping off the dock and swimming . Boat landing small, but only 2 doors down the road. Chain of lakes was nice giving a variety of experiences. I would go back.

Nice lake cabin

This cabin is nicely situated on the shores of the sugar camp chain. The dock is very nice and the cabin worked well for our family of three. The fire pit was great in the evenings and the cabin was a nice size.

Ice fishing getaway

Good location, easy to get to a number of lakes to fish. House was well stocked with the bedding and bath linens as well as general kitchen items. Enjoyed relaxing in the living room with fireplace going. About 15 minute drive to stores to stock up on everything needed.

Relaxing week

My wife, son, and I enjoyed our week at this property. We also appreciated that we were able to bring along our small dog, which also had a good time. Gary responded quickly to communications and we took advantage of the opportunity to rent a pontoon which was conveniently kept at the property. We are able to check out all five lakes in the chain, and it was not crowded even though there were several nice days to be out. The cabin is convenient to Eagle River for groceries, but it was set up with everything else you need. We would come again. Thank you.

Peaceful stay

Property is just as beautiful as the description. Easy access to lake. Very well appointed. Pontoon rental was well worth it as there is access to several lakes via the channels. Beautiful scenery. Owner was very personable and easy to reach.

Nice property, beautiful location, great outdoor space

My family and I spent a week at this property and we really enjoyed it. The location was excellent - very close to St. Germain, Eagle River, and the Sugar Camp beach. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space that was just a few feet off of the lake and included a very nice fire pit we enjoyed almost every evening. The cabin was comfortable but not as clean as we would have liked. Otherwise it was a great week and we would recommend this property.

Thanks for the amazing week, Gary! We had a great time. The bunk beds in the second bedroom were a surprise, but we made it work. Fishing was great! We caught Crappie, Bluegill and even some Northern. Thanks for a memorable week!

Amazing Property

We had an amazing family weekend. The house and property were beautiful. The private location and access to the lake with the private pier was a plus. We were even brought firewood for the fire pit out back!! Everyone had a great time. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The house was also fully stocked with everything we needed! We will definitely be back for another weekend. Gary was easy to communicate with always got back to us right away with any questions.

Winter stay

Our stay was very nice at Gary’s place. Kitchen items were new and basically had everything we needed. Place was very clean. View of lake in the winter was very pretty. We were in eagle river for a hockey tournament, and it was about a 15 min drive to town. There were no instructions on working the Fireplace, but we figured it out on our last night there how to use it properly, it made the place very cozy. Thank you for a very nice stay. We would recommend your place to anyone. John and Val

Great Place and Location

The house is right on Chain Lake and you have to walk about 60 feet to get to the dock with a great view! Fire pit located right next to the water, a great dock for your boat, a very clean house with comfortable beds, washer and dryer onsite...everything you need for a great weekend. Gary was great with communication and made it a great experience all around! I recommend it to anyone!

Up north getaway

We had a great time at this cabin! The photos do not show how much space you have to spread out which was very nice traveling with an 8 month old and a dog. While there are neighbors in both sides you do not notice them since trees line both sides of this property making a great private spot. Water was wonderful to swim in, rent kayaks and enjoy the views while sitting in the doc. Highly recommend!
