The girls were on a much needed break. The weather was a little cool but they were happy just to relax. They left the cottage neat and clean. I would definitely rent to them again.

Property is in a great location for enjoying the Brunet Island State Park and Chippewa Falls (including Old Abe Bike Trail). Once construction materials in the back yard and that project are complete, it will provide a really nice place to sit and view the river.

Sue left me a voicemail saying the interior light in my car was left on. That’s a great host!! The place was perfect; exactly what we wanted. Great spaces to hang out both inside and out. Plenty of space for the four of us. Such beautiful sunsets and views of the water in general. Chippewa Falls was only 20 minutes away and lots of fun to explore! We would love to come back.

Cute cabin right on the river- we were in town for the Force Fields music festival and we didn't want to mess with camping at the venue (we like our sleep) and it was less than a 10 min drive and was perfect for what we needed. We cooked big steaks outside on the charcoal grill and ate at a cute wooden table along the water. The bathroom shower could use some work and maybe an updated A/C unit but it has everything we needed.

The cottage was smelling of mold. It had mold on the siding and the the shower. The host was very kind, but we couldn’t stay the second day due to the conditions. We haven’t received any reimbursement for the second day.

It is not black mold. It is green mildew that almost every house in this area has on the North side of their house. If they smelled it right away, they should have said something. We encourage our guests to contact us if there is a complaint. We were home all evening and didn't hear anything from them. The cottage is inspected every year and if there was a problem, we would have been told. We have repeat guests and if they felt there was something endangering their health, we would have heard about it. It is an old cottage and they usually have a smell of age. I’m sorry this couple wasn’t happy.

Really nice location overlooking the river. Used the boat landing across the river to launch kayaks and then enjoyed a lovely campfire in the evening.

Norm and Sue have a cozy and clean cabin. We enjoyed being right on the Chippewa River and the close proximity to the Old Abe Trail.
Sunsets are spectacular from the cabin!
September colors along the Old Abe Trail.
The Old Abe Trail runs along the Chippewa River for much of the way.
The tall trees make a tunnel for the trail on the north end by Cornell.
