Very nice!!!We'll be back!!!

Friends snowmobile trip

The house is very nice, and slept 8 adults very comfortable, would easily sleep more if were family. Lake access and access to trails was easy and not far from gas stations and restaurants. Parking was a little tricky, mostly because we had four trucks with 4 trailers over 24' but we made it work. would have been easy with 1 or 2 tow units. We would stay there again for sure.

Relaxing week on the lake

We had a wonderful stay in Crandon. The property accommodated all 7 of us and was stocked with everything we needed. My daughters enjoyed the kayaks and the paddle boat and also playing the wii in the evenings. The view from the deck of the lake is beautiful. We brought our boat and the launch was close and it was easy to tie up at the dock. The lake is sandy off the dock and nice for swimming. We spent a lot of time boating on the lake and especially enjoyed seeing eagles, loons, baby ducks, and a muskrat! Thanks to the owners for sharing their lake home!

Lovely August Stay

We had an absolute blast! The property was everything we needed for a family with growing babies. My parents were thrilled to be able to take their 3 girls, and their grandkids and actually have the space and privacy for everyone. The downstairs was great for the bigger kids and adults without babies, while having 3 babies under 1 upstairs! We didn’t hear a thing down there. The lake was gorgeous, the house has everything you could ever need and more. We can’t wait to go back and make more memories again!

Large Family fun lake house

Very spacious, clean, family friendly lake house that was affordable. Our family loved staying on Lake Metonga. Clean lake, not too crowded & shallow enough near dock for kids to play, fish and swim. So glad you shared your kayak’s. House had everything we needed and great restaurants/gas stations & ice cream close by. Kiddos enjoyed the dvd player & wii in the basement. Boat ramp was easily accessible & right by the sand Vball courts. Some of our favorite memories were try to get 1st time skiers up, s’mores by campfire & ring/hook game.

"Best vacation, ever" title from our teens.

From the minute we stepped foot into the lake house, we knew we had made a great choice. The views were amazing, the house was inviting and comfortable. The best part was that our teenage boys loved it, too, and said we should "do it again there next year!" Our kids have NEVER asked to repeat a vacation, so this was a first, but definitely a memory-making space for sure. The lake is gorgeous-we fished and skiied and boated--and even took the boys to dinner across the lake and to the Bare A-- Beach for a lazy afternoon tie-up. Campfires, loons, stars, oh my! You can't beat this property for a family vacation of a lifetime. We'll definitely be back! Thanks for being awesome hosts and sharing your beautiful property with our family.

Beautiful Property on Lake Metonga

Our family of 6 (kids ages 14, 12, 10, 8) had a wonderful time at this cottage on Lake Metonga. The home was extremely clean, well-stocked with anything a family could need, and situated on a beautiful lake! We enjoyed boating, tubing, fishing, and swimming outdoors on the days where the weather was nice. The kids loved the kayaks and the paddle boat, and spent a lot of time out on the water. On rainy days, we had fun playing games, watching movies, and playing the Wii. The owners of this property are excellent, as they've thought of everything, and communication was quick and helpful. We found the 'Welcome Binder' to be helpful and tried out many of their suggestions during our stay. We highly recommend staying at this cottage on Lake Metonga, and would love to return in the future!

The house was very clean and well stocked. We had an amazing time. The hosts were very accomodating and went above and beyond to help us. We were stranded on the lake and they were able to message neighbors to provide assistance, talk about full service and caring for others! This is our favorite place to stay up north, would highly recommend this to anyone. We will be back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Todd & Carolyn Simon

Host profile image
We are Wisconsin residents who had always loved the Northwoods. In 2020 our dream of owning a lake home came true! We use this property as our personal vacation home, and are simply in love with all things Lake Metonga and Crandon have to offer. It was only after we started vacationing to the cabin that we decided that we would like to share this beautiful lake home with short term rental tenants to enjoy the same way that we do. We love making memories at the cabin with our 3 daughters, family, and close friends. We hope that you will do the same!

Why they chose this property

There are dozens of VRBO properties to choose from. So why should you book this one? Let's start with the sandy shore line and crystal clear water. There is literally no muck anywhere near our shore. The grade of the water is so mild that you can be 100 feet from shore and only in 2 1/2 feet of water. It is the perfect swimming shoreline!
The firepit allows for some of the most breathtaking views of the lake at sunset. We are a big bon fire family, and once you experience your first sunset on Lake Metonga with the fire rolling, all you will be able to do is smile! The house itself has a great floorplan. It's ideally situated for 1-3 families to have the time of their lives! And you will never feel "on-top" of each other. UTV and snowmobile trails galore!! All you need to do is look at the UTV/snowmobile trail map and you will see endless miles of trails to explore! Downtown Crandon has a lot of hidden gems too! Yeti's is a drive-in style ice cream shop/summer diner. Hollywood Hill/Crandon Saloon has never disappointed us with their outdoor cantina-style taco truck and yard games, Charlies is a blast to boat or UTV/snowmobile to, and Lake Avenue family restaurant has some of the best pizza around. Trish's Treasures is a lovely boutique in downtown Crandon, and there are plenty of other shops to check out as well.

What makes this property unique
