Great getaway in Chetek

Took the family for Labor Day & had an amazing time. View from the deck is beautiful. The campground next door has pontoon rentals, so we spent the day on the lake. Highly recommended!

This is a little piece of heaven! Clean, well appointed, quiet (blissfully quiet), close to town for shopping and restaurants. The host was wonderful to workl with! We caught a few fish from the dock. We rented a pontoon from Outers Resort. Very fair price for the week and Jamie was also wonderful to work with. I highly recommend staying at this property! We definitely plan to return.

Perfect for us

The house was just right for us. The boat dock, fire pit, fish cleaning table and rear deck were used extensively. We hope to be back next June.
