Beautiful and newer cabin on an outlet of a large lake. The bedding/towels seemed brand new, kitchen was well supplied. We loved using the kayaks and doing puzzles at the large dining table. Perfect spot for a couple of families or ladies weekend.

We loved our stay at this property! My daughter got married at The Barn at Copper Creek and it was just a short drive away. It was perfect to have family and friends stay all in one place rather in separate hotel rooms. Having a huge rec/game room in addition to a living room space allowed for everyone to enjoy quiet conversation or challenge others to a fun game.

Our stay was wonderful! The house was spacious, well-equipped, and very clean, making it easy to settle in and relax. We especially enjoyed cozying up by the gas fireplace indoors, as well as spending time around the outdoor fire pit. The games provided were a great touch and added to the fun.

We stayed with the bridal party the night before the wedding. All the wedding planning and anticipation of hoping for an amazing wedding the next day this house added calmness, beauty and relaxation to help all us have the best wedding day. So much room for the girls to get ready for rehearsal and morning of wedding. It was PERFECT!

The location is close to Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls and Menomonie. We kayaked, made smores, played games and saw local sites. Great property for 3 generations to enjoy!

Family Vacation

Our family spends a weekly summer vacation together, at different VRBO locations. This location was a wonderful place to enjoy fishing, bonfires, and nature walks together. The location was very easy to find and was conveniently located near Menomonie, which provided several outdoor activities for our family as well. The property is beautiful inside and out, and well cared for. The property had all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay for our family.

Long overdue family reunion.

Sadly we came into town from upstate New York for a funeral, but this house and its location were just perfect! Our extended family had a place to meet after the funeral where we found a space that was inviting and relaxing. We laughed, we hugged, and we shared memories. The time spent with family was wonderful. This is such a beautiful well maintained house nestled in the perfect location. Thank you so much for allowing us the use of your beautiful home!!

Perfect Spot!

The pictures do not do this place justice! There was plenty of room for all of us 9 women on our girls trip to celebrate our friends birthday! We kept saying how nice it was to have so many bathrooms available for us to get ready. The "extra" room downstairs was an added bonus for us to have some extra hangout space. Great location as well!
