We enjoyed our stay immensely. The huge picture windows overlooking the serene waters cannot be understated. Clean, cozy, and the view was amazing. We saw plenty of wildlife including loons, eagles, and deer. We would recommend this place to anyone.

Rustic, cozy, clean Northwoods cabin on a beautiful lake. The lack of stair railings might be difficult for people with mobility issues.

We had a wonderful time at The Shack on Echo Lake. Kitchen had everything- utensils, appliances, dishes, etc you could ask for to feel right at home. Spacious living and dining area, cozy bedrooms, and the outdoor area is a dream. Private beach and pier with plenty of driveway room to ride bikes. The screened porch is an added bonus to have meals outdoors but no bugs! The property manager was fantastic. Super responsive and helpful with all our questions. Highly recommend and will stay again.

The shack

It was wonderful, very clean and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. There isn’t air conditioning but the house stayed very cool and comfortable. It maybe could have a bigger tv, the one there is very smalll but we didn’t have much tv time anyway.

The Shack

We spent 10 days here. Cottage is very old, dated and the kitchen needs a complete remodel along with pots and utensils. It all fits with the cabin name of "The Shack". The interior was tidy. Location was great. We liked the screened in gazebo and double rocker on the pier. Exterior was rough as well. For us, it was a little too rustic.

Hi Karin, we’re so glad you enjoyed the gazebo and double rocker, but we’re sorry other aspects fell short of expectations. After sending your feedback to the owner, we’d like to share the following: - We understand you feel the kitchen is dated, but we assure you it is clean and functional. - The exterior was repainted about four years ago, and the windows and siding are in good shape. - If there is another aspect of an exterior you found rough, please don't hesitate to reach out so we can improve it for future guests. - Its age and distinctly rustic character are part of its charm, and it's something we and many others have found especially appealing. We use professional photographers to ensure our images accurately reflect the property so guests can decide before booking if the property meets their expectations.We have worked very hard to provide a clean and comfortable place for guests to enjoy and will continue to do all we can to provide the best possible stay for our guests!

The Shack

Very nice rental in a good location. Our second rental here. The walkway to the lake is a hazard with rotten timbers and shifted bricks. Sent an email to the property manager regarding a forgotten pepper mill. No courtesy of a reply.

Northern Cabin

This cabin is a north woods family cabin. A cabin with many generations that have passed through it. The morning and evening views were exceptional and the screened in porch was perfect for hang out time with family and friends. The interior is a north woods cabin that has been around for years. Exactly what a Wisconsin person would expect in a family owned cabin. No high end frills and expensive decor, just a place that has all the amenities that a person needs with the quietness and the views to relax every day. Both bathrooms seemed to have been updated with everything working correctly. Contact with the rental group was a minimum with no issues.

We enjoyed our stay!

The view was one of favorite parts of the stay! We loved sitting in front of the window and watching the water. We saw a couple does and their fawns with if minutes of being there. We could even see the Big Dipper reflected onto the water one night. The beach area would be perfect for a family during warmer months. The cabin has all the necessary amenities and then some. Kitchen pots/pans/tableware and coffee makers, towels and linens, heated bathroom fan, foam mattress topper.. we were even pleasantly surprised to find that the cabin actually did have WiFi so we were able to add a few more creature comforts to our week. We were there mostly during the week so it was a very quiet stay for us but there are neighboring cabins much closer than we anticipated. One of the large windows looks right at the near by cabin and you can see the two just beyond that as well. Overall, it was a great stay and we would not hesitate to book here again.

The Shack was great!

Great location in the northwoods! Mercer is a great little town, Echo Lake is beautiful, clean and relatively quiet. The Shack was very clean and well appointed with dishes, linens and other supplies. The beds are ok, one’s very plush the other is very firm. It’s an old house, so all the smells and creaky floors that go with old homes are present… which we loved. No AC… can get hot but they have lots of fans in the property. There is WiFi and a smart TV. But you will probably just sit in front of one of the big picture windows looking down at the lake! Loved the screened in porch for outdoor meals as well! The beach/lake frontage is ample! We found sand rakes in the shed and were able to clean the beach area for our kiddo (was a fair amount of washed up vegetation) and we really enjoyed that area all weekend. The Dock is sturdy and was a great tie-off for the 16’ fishing boat we brought. There’s also an extension cord running from the shed to the dock for charging boat batteries overnight. Appreciate the rocker at the end of the dock, was a great place to watch sunsets. I think the path down to the beach from the house could use some TLC. The pavers move under your feet and create a hazard for older and younger folks making their way down. Overall great stay!!!

Very easy check in process. Very clean and had lots of extra bedding. Bad week for fishing but the cabin and property were absolutely perfect. Always a quick response from the host. Had lots of fun and would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
