Beauiful Quiet Setting
Cabin is beautiful. Our winter getaway was meant for snowshoeing and cross country skiing but because of the very mild temps and lack of snow, we adjusted plans. We did try some ice fishing with no luck. Had a great time playing games, taking walks, and just family time. Cabin is beautiful and had everything we needed for a nice, relaxing stay. Kitchen was fully stocked with any cooking needs.

Winter family vacay
We had the absolute best time renting this property! We just wanted to head north for the holidays and disconnect from every day life. This mini vacay made it all happen. The house was absolutely beautiful. There isn't much ice to be found in Wisconsin, and the chippewa flowage delivered! We caught close to 40 fish in 4 days of ice fishing! Mostly on tip ups too! Would love to come back in the summer. The open floor plan of the living room dining room was great! Bunk room worked amazing for the kids. Let's not forget they had boot dryers! Perfect extra for our trip! The bar style dart board was the best, along with being able to bring our dog with us. Amazing place definitely recommended!
