Beautiful Lake Home in North Woods

We loved our stay at Sunsets and Solitude on Upper Eau Claire lake. We were sad that there wasn’t much snow, so no skiing, but lots of hikes, games, and laughs. This home was beautiful and we really enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and the view out the windows toward the lake. Kitchen was well stocked, house was very clean, and beds were comfortable. Plenty of room for our group to spread out. We would stay here again!

Absolutely perfect cabin

We had an absolutely wonderful week at the cabin. There was nothing that Todd and Mary didn’t think of or have available. It is by far the best vacation rental we have experienced. We commented daily on how clean and well stocked this cabin was for visitors. From the charging cords next to the beds to the wide array of water toys everything was perfect for our large group. Thank you for a wonderful week of family memories!

Wonderful Cabin

This is a great cabin. We really enjoyed our stay. We had nine people ranging from 9 months to 72. The bedroom setups were great. Everyone had plenty of space and privacy. The kitchen was well stocked and lacked nothing. Communication with the owners was great. They were very quick to respond to questions. The lake is an amazing lake for kids and adults to swim in. The water is extremely clear and clean. There are no weeds and the water is shallow all around the dock. We also had plenty of room for docking boats. The provided lily pad really made the trip for the kids. The screen porch on the south side of the cabin was a great room that was used every day. It's a great spot at any time of day and was used for puzzles and there were lots of deer to be seen throughout the day from there. The one negative of the cabin is the hill down to the lake. There are 77 steps down a very steep hill to the lake. The stairs have recently been replaced and are in good shape, but it is a bear to walk up. It gets the heart pumping and the legs burning when walking up. I had a fishing boat and could tell from the pictures that I would need a lot of extension cord length to reach the cabin in order to charge my batteries. I brought three cords that totaled over 100 feet and it wasn't enough. Fortunately there were some extension cords left on shore that I was able to use to make the length. Overall, a really nice place.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Mary and I bought this property to create a gathering place for our kids and grandkids to savor the beauty of northern Wisconsin and make family memories. We instantly fell in love with the setting, view and clear spring fed lake. There were 5 loons just off the end of the dock the afternoon we first saw the property. The cabin was strikingly beautiful. Beyond what we had imagined. Grand two story great room with a dramatic stone wood burning fireplace. perfectly appointed kitchen with top of the line appliances. The enormous gathering space for friends and family was exactly what we wanted.

The bedroom layout offered the perfect sense of connectedness yet separate space. The main primary bedroom is on the main floor and features a wall of west facing sliding doors to the deck and a private 3/4 bath with huge walk-in shower. Two generously sized bedrooms upstairs with their own 3/4 bath. The lower level offers 2 more large bedrooms and another 3/4 bath.

The living space provides amazing opportunities for being together yet offers separate quiet space to get away. The second floor loft is a quiet nook for reading. The basement has a large family room with a stone gas fireplace and large screen TV. This has become a great space for late night movies and rainy days. This room walks out to a stone patio overlooking the lake. Our favorite spot is the screen porch just off the great room. The porch is vaulted and screened on three sides. It has been a spectacular place for our family to gather for meals. Wether the dewey smell of morning air or the warm evening breeze the screen porch has been a place that we linger from first light to long after the sun has set. The large deck is the other special place for our family. large enough for our entire gang.

This cabin was way beyond what we had dreamt of when we set out to find a family gathering place. It was very soon after we purchased this home that we decided to share it with others. We hope you enjoy as well.
