Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Luke and Miranda

I am a physical therapist and my wife is a registered nurse; we live in western Wisconsin with our 5-year old son Niko, 2-year old daughter Georgia, and 8-year old golden retriever Lambeau. We enjoy all things outdoors, and that includes travel!
Why they chose this property
We wanted a property that could host larger groups as we come from big families and have struggled in the past to find something that could accommodate us all. Combine that with the large, breathtaking views of the lake and we knew we had to have it.
What makes this property unique
It is one of the few houses along the south shore that enjoys a sunrise view, and it is also protected from the large northern winds that have a tendency to destroy shoreline for people on the west side of Bark's Point. It is also one of the largest cabin rentals you will find while still allowing everyone to sleep under the same roof. The unique 2nd story screened in porch with the panoramic views are our favorite part of the home.
