The house was clean and the four wheeling trail was right outside the front door. She was easy to get ahold of and ( Mel) the house keeper was very laid back and done to earth about everything.
We enjoyed Memorial Weekend at The Trailside Copper cottage with friends and family. The location was perfect for hoping on the trail with our UTV's and hanging out with friends camping at the Russell Memorial Park.
While the house is older, it has many updates and plenty of room for a group. Plus, the two cats were super friendly and provided lots of snuggles. We spent a great deal of time outside around the fire pit and the kids loved playing in the yard.
Rebecca’s cabin was a wonderful place to stay while visiting our family in nearby Neillsville. There was a play set with slide and swings and small trampoline to keep the grands occupied when they came to visit. Also a large picnic table for eating/crafts outside. The bathroom is newly remodeled and the house itself more spacious than we thought it would be. Very comfortable and relaxing and overall. Easy to get in touch with owner or other contacts when she’s not around. The only downside that we found was it is next to a busy road, which was a bit loud when we were outside visiting. Would definitely stay there again! Thanks Rebecca!

Wonderful guests with very polite grandchildren. So glad you enjoyed your stay.
Rebecca is incredibly friendly and prompt. Her home is spacious. It has an advantage to other properties in the area due to the acre of property her home sits on. Every other property is stacked on top of each other. We would highly recommend staying at her home.
Family was here from Florida to visit. This was an awesome location to invite other friends and family over to all visit together. The rental property was clean and well maintained, owner was easy to get ahold of for questions. Great place to stay!!
This location was perfect for the trails and the lake! If what you are looking for is access to trails and lake… this location is perfect! Bring some games to play in the house, we forgot ours, but were glad to see there were two decks of cards for us to use. The house Skinny Kitty was super friendly and snuggled up to all of us. Thank you for having us!!

You all were fantastic guests, and welcome to return at any time. I will definitely acquire some games for in the house (suggestions welcome)! Glad Skinny Kitty was loved up on!
I knew we were in good hands when entering the home there were beautiful sunflowers in a vase on the kitchen table! We had the perfect area to be right across from the lake and access to numerous trails for walking the fur babies. The weather wasn’t on our side but we were able to enjoy a fire in the evening and cook out on the patio. Deer right out in the back yard. We had what we needed for an enjoyable visit including access to washer and dryer! Becca was a very considerate host!
Nice 2 bedroom with large living room. Older home but has new bathroom. Location is close to boat landings and trails.

Glad you were able to use all the outdoor toys(kayaks, boat, UTVs) during your stay and it was great having your group! Also glad that you were able to enjoy direct trail access directly out of the driveway.
Rebecca did a great job communicating with us and checking in to make sure everything was going well. Great location to the lake and atv trails.

Our stay
Really had a good time, just wasn't long enough. Had a small problem with the TV, Luckily I had ROKU but if you don't you are out of luck. The ROKU didn't work the first night but she came up and fixed it and the hot water needs fixed, but had a good time !

The guests Never called or messaged regarding the Roku, which there are plenty of free streaming programs and channels to watch even without an account. As soon as Vicki contacted me Saturday morning I came right down and fixed the TV issue, even as upon my arrival (under 4 minutes) she stated, “you didn’t need to come right away.”
The hot water works; there is simply a button that needs to be pushed to activate, which was shown to guest upon arrival.
