Canoeing, hiking, wedding weekend!

Since it’s only one room, the photos show you exactly what you’ll be getting for amenities. We had everything we needed. A hot shower, a clean bed and room, and super access to the Ice Age trails and Chippewa River. I would stay again.

Brunet Island Studio, Cornell WI

Our stay was pleasant. A good location for us since it is located right on/near the Ice Age Trail. Plenty of wonderful places to eat. The people in Cornell are very kind and friendly. The room we stayed in was nice. It was on the first floor (main floor) and had a private bathroom which was very nice. The room has a small refrigerator with a good-sized freezer, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, television sets. Amenities were provided such as shampoo, soaps, etc. and some snacks. Very easy check-in and check-out process. No issues whatsoever.

Ist the owner is awesome,anything you need just ask Laverne and she get it for you. But, let me tell ya, you shouldnt need anything, as she supplies alot. Shampoo, condition, body wash, utensils,coffee,tea etc. 2nd pets are welcome, just remember to clean up after them and make sure they are leashed. We had a great time, cant wait to go back. She has done a great job.

Fantastic Location!

Property was exactly as shown. The location was only 5 minutes from Brunet Island SP. Old abe bike trail same distance. I was in the area to explore so this studio fit my needs perfectly. It was very refreshing to return to a clean, comfy room at the end of the day. There was a brewery, cafe, coffee shop and grocery story literally in walking distance. Would highly recommend.

Great location

Close to parks, trails, food, etc. Super location. Sharing a bathroom wasn't something I want to do again. But disquieting to have people moving around in your back hall to use the restroom and didn't feel comfortable showering. The room is small but suitable. Great that candies, coffee and chips are offered. The room was kept at 70 all night which was way too hot for me.

Thin walls

We loved this place. It was clean, centrally located, easy to access but the walls were really thin. We could hear the resident upstairs coughing, talking and pacing the floor all night.

It was way nicer than I expected! There were snacks in the fridge and some pre-packaged snacks which was really nice. They have bottled water for your stay. The bathroom was pretty big, and you can easily fit 2-4 people in there at once!

Exactly what I was looking for

My family and I are in the process of moving to the area for a few weeks and this location was perfect for me while my family transitioned to the area. This was a great location and a great place to stay, the room was clean and had everything I needed. The hosts were available and very responsive if I had any questions or needed something that wasn't in the room. Having the grocery store, laundry, diner and brewery/pizza place all basically across the street was a great bonus. The hosts are also very accommodating and easy to work with. Downtime was just around the block and the local parks were perfect for walking.
