Awesome stay on Shawano Lake

We had an awesome time staying here. This is a beautiful spot that is comfortable, well decorated, had everything you need along with a great location. Our family really enjoyed it. If you need a spot in the Shawano area look no further.

We rent this property each year for a family gathering. It is consistently fantastic! The home is stunning, super clean and always well maintained. It has become a favorite annual destination for us and our adult children. We rent a pontoon boat nearby. There are great shops and restaurants nearby, but we prefer hanging out at this beautiful home as much as possible. The owner is quick to respond and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Amazing log cabin get away

We had a fantastic stay at the log cabin! The view from inside the home was breathtaking, making us feel like we were truly in a place of peace and beauty. It felt less like a rental and more like we were guests in someone’s cherished home. The attention to detail in every corner made our stay exceptionally comfortable, and the amenities provided everything we needed. This cabin is definitely worth the extra cost for the best experience on Shawano Lake!

Enjoyed our stay

The home was spacious and impeccable. Quiet area and the large lake had very little boat traffic. Owner responded quickly to questions we had. Only disappointment was that the lake area behind the home was weedy, so we went to the county park down the road to swim, which had a nice sandy beach and water was weed free

Response from VrboOwner on 23 March 2020
Carol: Thank you so much for the review - glad you had a nice stay. I'm sorry if there was a higher volume of weeds on the lakefront - this can sometimes happen after a weekend with higher boat traffic on the lake and winds out of the south. Unfortunately, it can be an issue anywhere on Shawano Lake.

Exactly what we needed

We had a great stay here while visiting family in the area. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment for cooking a wide range of meals. The location on the lake was near a cove that didn't have any homes so we frequented that area by canoe/kayak and had many sightings of bald eagles and heron's. Also a short drive to the local Shawano beach for access to park and sand time for my 3 and 5 yr olds.

The views were fantastic and the home was comfortable and spacious for our family to enjoy. The owner was amazing as well!

Each Fall, we plan a long weekend here with family. This home is stunning...even more beautiful than the photos. It's always spotless and well stocked. Our adult children ask to come here each year even when we have asked if they would like to go to other locations. We rent a pontoon boat at the nearby Shawano County Park. There also are many great shops and supper clubs in Shawano and surrounding areas to explore, although we prefer to grill out and have a campfire by the lake each night. night night plor.ting

Great Week on the Lake

We had a great week with our family- my husband and me, 3 young kids and two grandparents. The house was set up well so that our family was able to be upstairs and the grandparents downstairs. We really enjoyed using our boat on the lake for the week. The yard was nice and we were able to enjoy watching the kids play in the water at a short distance.. The house was very clean upon arrival. This was a great place to stay if you’re looking to unplug and enjoy some time in Northern WI.

4th Annual C/O 1986 fishing trip.

Kroenke Kottage was everything the photo's show and more. We had tons of laughs reminiscing on our high school days and just catching up. We fished everyday for hours and only caught baby pan fish. Our last day we drove to Green Bay and caught 4 nice walleyes, 1 perch and a pike. All in all, we had a wonderful blast. But...if you're renting a cabin on Shawano Lake, make sure it's not for a fishing trip. Lol

About the host

Hosted by Tim Kroenke

Host profile image
I grew up on a dairy farm not far from Shawano Lake. Although my wife and I currently live in Wilmington, North Carolina, we enjoy our time in Wisconsin reconnecting with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family for 3 generations. We have moved multiple times during our marriage, and so this place became "home-base" to us and our daughters. We rebuilt in 2009 with the hope that this home will be in the family for many generations to come.

What makes this property unique

This property is the only lake-front log home for rent on Shawano Lake, and is located near the end of a quiet, dead-end street. It is our home-away from home with a full-size kitchen, vaulted, 2-story great room, a private master-bedroom suite and a large loft that includes a foosball table. Our home includes: carpeted bedrooms, hard wood floors, unique slate tile, meganite counter tops, and log cabin decor. This comfortable home offers you a front seat viewing of Shawano Lake. Whether you are sitting on the screened porch, drinking coffee from a comfy lounger in the great room or sitting by a campfire outside as you watch lake life go by -- on and above the lake -- Bald Eagles, ducks and ducklings, swans, cardinals, morning doves and an occasional otter; gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, a full moon or starry sky!
