Family Vacation
We had a great stay and Jeff was great to work with. The house was clean and ready for our arrival. It was roomy and plenty big enough for our group of 7. Fishing was great right off of the pier. Perhaps a couple of the mattresses could be changed out in the future, but overall, the house was great and we would definitely visit again.

Perfect lake house
My family had the best weekend relaxing here! The house is plenty big for our family of 8 adults. The sunsets and sunrises were beautiful. We loved sitting around the fire pit at night and swimming in the lake during the day.

Overall nice stay on a quiet lake
We stayed at this Lost Lake location for the first week of August for a family vacation and generally found the property to be adequate for our family's needs. The house can sleep a lot of people and had a good kitchen and common spaces. The house could benefit from some updates and maintenance, but ultimately did fine for us for our stay.

Wonderful Lake Stay in the Northwoods
I have been renting various properties through VRBO for decades! This house is warm and inviting with lovely views of the lake. We love to cook as a family and the well-equipped kitchen and dining areas accommodated us all (11 and a two-year-old) nicely. The dock area was accessible for our boat and kayaks and we had a flotilla of Fluzzles (interlocking modular tubes) anchored in the bay area at all times. Nice sandy bottom on the lake. I would recommend this property for larger families who like to be all under the same roof and our host Jeff was very approachable and available if we had questions. A good time was had by all!

Summerhaven has been a place to relax with family and friends since 2001. Its uniquely close to the water and has easy access to great fishing, water sports, or just lounging on the pier. Now available year around. Pack your snow shoes, snowmobile, ice fishing rig and enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Northshore of Lost Lake has ample sunlight all day and a picturesque view of the moonrise at night over the water.
Sandy shoreline with no drop offs provides a nice family swim area.
