BlackBerry Lodge is incredible! The cabin is charming and clean, with all the amenities you need. It’s a perfect blend of being in the woods and on a lake. It’s secluded enough that you don’t hear any neighbors and truly feel like you’re getting away, but grocery stores and restaurants are a quick 10 min or less drive away. The lake was beautiful, we spent our days relaxing on the lake-swimming, fishing, kayaking, and enjoying the wildlife. Our dogs loved it too! The large porch is perfect for enjoying coffee on lazy mornings or during a rainy portion of the day. Andrew was a fantastic host and we can’t wait to come back and visit again.
The host was very responsive, place was amazing! We really enjoyed the privacy of the property along with the amenities they have. We would definitely come back!
Blackberry Lodge is a uniquely fantastic VRBO property! The custom-made log cabin exterior and much of the interior reflects old world craftsmanship at its best. We had a wonderful family weekend at the lodge, enjoying kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, paddle boating, fishing, and quiet moments on the spectacular porch overlooking the tranquil woods. We used the deluxe gas grill to prepare supper every night at the lodge. The interior was warm and welcoming with the choice of furniture and decor all combining for a charming lake house aesthetic. All rooms, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, were very clean. The owner was easy to contact and readily responded to any questions we had. We feel so fortunate to have found this property on the Vrbo website. Our dog loved it too - she had an especially wonderful time splashing around in the shallow part of the lake! We will definitely be back in the future!
Amazing place you will not regret staying here! Sauna on property, creek and lake! Beautiful views and lots of wildlife! Very private and owners are extremely responsive!
The cabin was tucked away in the woods and very quiet. The rooms were very clean and the owners had all of the comforts of home. There was very little we needed to bring.
Andrew, the host was great. He followed up with us while we were there. All the amenities were great. I would have loved to be here in the summer. It was below zero all weekend but we still had so much fun in the game hut, sauna and walking the beautiful trail to the lake. We had deer visiting everyday and the birds were so enjoyable to watch. This is an awesome property and the owners have excellent taste in decorating the cabin. Highly recommend this property!
Cozy, up-to-date, well-kept property with great privacy. Perfect for a family or small group. Great communication with the host. Would definitely stay there again!
We really enjoyed the seclusion of the property, the swimming and the cleanliness of the lake, and the huge deck. Perfect for pet owners and families as both our dog and kids loved the time.
The lodge was very clean and homey.
A quiet and relaxing location.
Loved going in the lake and taking the kayaks out!
Also enjoyed the grill.
Highly recommend!
Had a great weekend getaway with the kids and dogs! The cabin was absolutely beautiful and the location was perfect. We enjoyed walking the trails, fishing, and canoeing on the lake. Great place for spending quality time together.
This was my 3rd time staying here. I love this property. Everything is wonderful! Always clean. The host is great. I always have nothing but good things to say. Caught bluegill down by the lake. Had wonderful campfires. It really is a very special place.
A lovely stay at a lodge less than 2 hours driving time from Milwaukee/Waukesha area. Cozy accommodations and fun activities for all ages. Highly recommend!
We had so much fun at this beautiful cabin in the woods. The cabin had everything we needed. Everyone loved all the water toys on the lake, campfire, hiking, games, and hanging on the porch. Perfect family getaway. So relaxing!
