Fun Family Escape

We had a great time at the River Road Retreat! It was great to have the 20 acres of privacy. The cabin is huge and had all the amenities we could ask for. We really enjoyed our time out in the pontoon we rented on the lake. Great place would definitely go back.

Beautiful, private retreat in the woods

We loved this house. Great amenities. It's so private, it feels like your own retreat center. Sleeping eight would be tight, but lots of space otherwise. The lake is a great size and not very busy.

Family Getaway

Our family stayed here for a week in late July. Cabin is very large with enough space for everyone to do their thing and not get in each others way. Lake was beautiful with a sandy bottom. Highly recommend using the kiyaks to check out the channel between middle and lower Eau Claire lake. We enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful get away

The cabin is spacious and has a variety of activities to entertain old and young. The dock is perfect for little fishermen in training:). All the amenities you need are there to make it even less of a headache for packing. Would certainly stay again! If you need a place to reconnect with family and enjoy a bit of peace and quiet this is the place!

Barnes Family Getaway

I rented the cabin so that my family and I could get a chance to get together and spend a week up north. The accommodations were as advertised and the scenery didn’t disappoint. The host was very punctual in communicating and much appreciated. We really enjoyed our stay and our only wish was that we could extend our time there.

A Nice Getaway

Please with our stay. Probably a bigger place than needed for a family of four! Great lake to kayak and paddleboard - very calm, and lots of inlets and pathways to the other lakes. Laura was very responsive, and house was well-equipped with all the basic supplies needed for the week.
