Tainter Lake is approximately a 1605 acre lake located in Dunn county. It has a maximum depth of about 37 feet. Depending on the weather in the summer months, the water clarity can be low due to algae growth. Later in the summer months this lake tends to get a bit green. May until early July are the best months to enjoy swimming. Still a great size lake for boating, kayaking and fishing!

A wonderful family cabin!

The cabin was clean, spacious, and a cozy place to relax! The kitchen and dining space made for a great place to make family meals together. We enjoyed renting the pontoon and cruising around the lake. The property has many different outside gathering spaces that we took full advantage of! We had 10 adults and 2 kids and this cabin fit us all comfortably. We had a wonderful stay- thank you for creating a warm and inviting cabin for families to create memories in!

Great family lake house

We enjoyed our stay! The loft was great for my son and his 3 cousins to sleep with each of them in their own beds! The kitchen was well equipped, so we cooked breakfast and dinner! Because the weather wasn’t great we enjoyed staying in and playing board games and card games with the kids!

Perfection

This is my second stay and another 5 star rating. There was a huge storm in the afternoon of check in and a large tree nearly blocked the drive. After a call to home owners, they quickly arrived with a chain saw and drive was clear. Such amazing service!I love this house and it is perfect for our gathering of friends for a horse show weekend!

Great house for a large group

We had a great time at this property. Teresa was friendly and easy to work with. The house was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. It has lots of places to gather as a family inside and outside that we enjoyed. It sleeps a lot, so worked great for us. We would definitely go back. Highly recommend.

Wonderful family getaway

This Tainter Lake Retreat was truly a wonderful experience for bringing family together for a summer getaway. The hosts were so accommodating and easy to work with and our experience at the cabin were more than exceeded. We enjoyed the size of the home to have the different families each have a separate space but then a large main area to gather and enjoy. We loved having the two kitchens to help prop for some larger meals. The place was very clean and well maintained. We loved our time cruisong on the water as it really is a beautiful lake. The property is beautiful on the end of the private drive.

Great property

The property and host were great. The waterfront was pretty green, but the lake itself was nice. Big plus for big groups: never ran out of hot water when doing showers for 6 adults and 7 children! Grill could be upgraded, but otherwise basically everything but groceries was provided. Take advantage of the boat!

What an amazing property. We had enough room for our family and friends to stay at this location to celebrate our son’s wedding. We had plenty of room to cook & prepare the homemade desserts. The 2 kitchens were a huge bonus. Highly recommended for vacation with a large group.
