We absolutely loved our Labor Day weekend at this cabin. This was a perfect, quiet getaway for ourselves & two young kids. The view is beautiful, lake is quiet & cabin had everything we needed & more. We were also near restaurants, coffee shop & convenience stores. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful quiet lake. Easy access to waterfront. The only issues I had were having trouble finding the key box outside and having to walk downstairs to the bathroom. We enjoyed our stay and would go back.

Still Wonderful!

This was our second year staying at Leader Lake and everything is just as we remember- outstanding! (see our reivew July 2024). We spent nearly all our time in and on the lake. It is great for swimming and paddling and very clean (so is the cabin). Everything is private and tranquil: the cabin, the yard and lakefront. The area is very friendly and enjoyable. A true Northwoods lake and a very positive experience had by three generations. Great hosts! Highly recommend

Fun and beautiful!

This nice cabin is set back in a very quiet, relaxing, and peaceful community of cabins. The host was very kind and even gave recommendations on things to do near by in the surrounding area. Loons were present which was enjoyed by all. We spent so much time down in the water, a few of us got a little more sun than we could handle- sign of a lot of fun and relaxing on the lake!

We had a great time at the lake house. The kids couldn't get enough of the lake and all the activities that came with it. The cabin was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils and gadgets you would need to cook. They also had fishing poles and sand toys to use. Pack some DVDs. They had about a dozen to choose from there. The Wi-Fi can be hit or miss. But we were outside too much to notice.

Beautiful Lake and canin

We truly enjoyed our stay! It was perfect for our family of six. The lake was great for swimming and fishing and we really enjoyed using the paddle boards and kayaks. The cabin was very cozy and clean. We also enjoyed our campfires! Perfect little get away! What a blessing, thanks!

Peaceful getaway

This cabin was a beautiful relaxing getaway for our family. We had 4 kids with us from ages 12-2 and all enjoyed the lake in different ways. Our 2 year old loved playing in the sand and the older kids loved to swim and use the many kayaks, canoes and paddleboat. The lake is a great size that we could keep an eye on them but still plenty of room to explore. Very peaceful and neighbors on the lake were very friendly. The cabin is very clean and Tim is a wonderful host and very responsive on questions. The cabin itself has a beautiful story and we loved staying there!

Wonderful!

What an excellent vacation! Were looking for a quiet, sandy lake with a gradual depth for our 5 year old to enjoy, but one where adults could enjoy swimming as well. We wanted to do a lot of kayaking, stand up paddle boarding too. This place is as described and we enjoyed it to the fullest. The lake is very clean, as is the cabin, which had everything we needed. We really enjoyed grilling and having dinner on the deck outside overlooking the lake and watching the bald eagle fly by. We normally pick a new cabin and lake every summer, but think this one will see us return next year. Highly recommend!

For a Great Family Vacation, Follow the Leader (lake)

The Cabin was everything and more than was promised, there were more accessories included with the cabin than we had time in the week to use. The Setup was great and provided us with all the comforts we could have asked for. We will definitely try this Cabin again!!

Perfect in Every Way!

Could not have asked for a better spot for our Northwoods getaway. Cabin was well-equipped and very comfortable/spacious for our group of 6. The lakefront area with private dock and beach perfect...firm sand bottom and crystal clear. Watercraft furnished by hosts provided endless hours of fun as we explored the lake. Daily eagle sightings and resident loon made the stay complete! Ideal location for any season. We hope to be able to go back again!

4th of July Stay

Great property. We were fortunate to get such great lake access on Fourth of July weekend. The cabin and property you were exactly as stated in the listing. Clean, home and kitchen, conveniences, and greet water toys that we use every one of them. And, my son caught a 20+ inch walleye off a rowboat.

Great Cabin, Great Lake

My family had a great time at this cabin. Cabin was clean and had space for everyone to be comfortable. A very quiet lake, there are many different boats to use on the water, 2 person kayak was excellent with our 5 yr old. My kids caught a lot of fish right off the dock. Owner was very responsive with questions that came up. Overall a great vacation. A few more bathroom towel hooks and some empty cabinet space in the kitchen would be a nice convenience.

Leader Lake visit

The lake and beach is beautiful. Our grandkids visited for 4 days and they spent hours playing around in the sand. Grand kids were able to see the numerous deer in the neighborhood. The cottage itself was well supplied. The drawback to the cottage is having the bathroom in the basement. There is no handrail on the basement steps, which makes traveling to the basement a bit of a safety issue. Overall though it is a very nice cottage in a good location
