Short & sweet up north stay

Great place on the water. We stayed just one night but had a great time sitting with family by the fire. Husband and I watched the sunrise from our bedroom. Would stay again!

This is a charming cottage on a quiet lake. My family (2 grown children, their spouses and my toddler and infant grandchildren) were quite comfortable here). Nice clean beach, including beach toys for the children. I enjoyed sitting on the swing in the morning, watching the sunrise and listening to the loons. Home is cozy and clean. Kitchen well stocked. Only complaint would be that a couple of deck boards by the back door are a little questionable. But otherwise a very comfortable place and good value for the money.Although not related to the property itself, if you are planning to bring a boat, just be advised that the DNR boat launch is a bit rustic - no dock, just a dirt approach and a cement slab in the water.
