On rainy days, there's plenty of space inside to read, listen to music, play games, craft, or watch your favorite show on any of the three TVs. The main level features a large living room with plenty of cozy nooks around the fireplace. The adjoining dining room and kitchen area have ample space for entertaining. Enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast on the spacious furnished deck space, which looks directly out onto the lake. The two upstairs bedrooms each have an attached bathroom, one of which has the added comfort of a whirlpool bath. The downstairs spaces are perfect for a second family or additional guests.

Nice location
Nice house but the furniture was not the very best and beds were adequate at best also it needs some better lighting inside as It kind of reminded me of a funeral parlor the property manager and staff were very attentive to our needs definitely on there game! There also was no gas grill or outside furniture to sit on but a couple of camping chairs! Would have given it 5 stars with a few updates else wise.

Large home with plenty of space for an extended family
We used the home for a 9 day X-Country ski vacation. Its location makes it a short drive to many groomed ski-trail systems (Raven, Scheldt, Madeline and McNaughton to name a few). The well equipped kitchen and the large dining room table worked really well for large meals for 8 people. Lots of very useable spaces for family to spread out. Many of the furnishings (chairs especially) were a bit worn but it worked pretty well with the Northwoods vibe. However there were some quirks that prevented us from given the home a 5 star rating: the toilets are plumbed with hot water so anyone taking a shower get a very cold shock when any of the toilets are flushed, sink water is run or if the dish washer or washer are filling, the kitchen floor is extremely noisy/squeaky it will wake anyone up that is sleeping in the bedroom below, running water anywhere in the house is also very noisy, there is no overhead lightening for the dining room table (made playing games very difficult at night), most rooms are dimly lit with low wattage soft white lightening except for one of the lower bedrooms which has numerous bright white florescent fixtures. The driveway and sidewalk had several inches of snow when we arrived, after a heavy snow storm mid-week we waited a few hours in the morning expecting a plow - the over 3 foot snow berm at the road edge was not drivable. After talking with several Vacasa staff we were assured a snow plow would be arriving in the next 15 minutes. We lost almost he entire day of skiing since they didn't arrive until 3:30 in the afternoon.

Off season get away in the Northwoods
We really enjoyed our Wisconsin get away. Very nice cozy home in the Northwoods. Enjoyed the book selection, fireplace, and outdoor deck overlooking the lake. Did some local shopping and dining. Wonderful trailheads and easy walking path.

Things to upgrade/improve
Place was super nice. Only one queen bed not two as listed Grill needs replacing. Took long time to start and one of three burners was broke off. Did heat up enough to cook burgers. Could use a light of some kind above kitchen table . Very hard to see cards. Would recommend . Very roomy
