We spent a fantastic long weekend at this property. It is a quiet, peaceful and beautiful location, and the cabin is well equipped with anything you would need. The kitchen is well equipped which we loved since we do all the cooking and actually never left the property once we arrived. The party room has so many fun things to do--pool table, pinball machine, juke box, darts, roulette, and an arcade game. The house is beautifully furnished, super clean and very comfortable. The owners are very easy to work with. Highly recommend this great cabin!

Wonderfully Relaxing Vacation!

We just returned home from our week in Paradise and are missing it already! The vacation home was beautiful and so clean and well kept. The lawns surrounding the area are also well maintained. Coming down the drive to the house, it just has "peaceful relaxation" written all over it! My husband, myself and our 13 yr old daughter enjoyed hanging out at the house, playing pool, some pinball, watching TV together in the comfortable loft.....just having great family time. Evenings were by the firepit and watching the river flow by. We also enjoyed visiting some of the towns in the area and even made it up to Lake Superior to take a boat ride around the Apostle Islands. There was plenty to do in the area and so nice to come "home" and relax in the evening. We are already planning a return trip. Thanks so much for everything Debbie....especially sharing your beautiful home.

Super Rental

Stayed here Memorial Day 2011. Cabin is beautiful. Home owners are friendly, easy to work with and very accomodating. Grounds are maintained very well. Very comfortable. Ample Firewood for us and fireplace works great, makes whole cabin toasty. Plenty of pots and pans- kitchen is well appointed. Love having a dishwater for a vacation, easy clean-up. Would be great for autumn or winter rental as well. Don't second guess this location, it's a winner!

Our Favorite Place!

My husband & I wanted to take our daughter and her fiance on a snowmobiling trip after Christmas. We live in WI and they live in Minneapolis, so it seemed to be the perfect distance for both of us. We felt so at ease with Debbie, before we even met her, and she made the process so easy for us. When people say it has everything you need, they are RIGHT! It was so cute and cozy and even better than the pictures convey. We had the time of our life there and WILL be going back. I think next time we will go in the summer, but will return again in the winter, too! It is phenomenal! So...if you are thinking about a place in this area, make sure THIS is the place you go. You will not regret it!!!

Excellent Family Vacation

We had a great family vacation at the cabin and hope to come back soon! We overpacked quite a bit, not anticipating how well the cabin would be stocked for our every need. It was a great place to get together with our ever growing family for some R&R. We had a great time canoing down the river, playing croquet, and swimming at a nearby lake. At night we had some pretty intense pinball and pool tournaments. We can't wait for next time! Thanks to Debbie for an excellent stay.

Excellent Cabin

Date of Stay: 07/31/10 Review Submitted: 08/07/10

Awesome property!! Debbie and Bruce are wonderful, too. The cabin is well equiped from the kitchen spices, to the shampoo and conditioner in the showers or the great game room downstairs. My son achieved he high score on the pinball machine. There is plenty of room indoors and out. We enjoyed the river everyday whether it was fishing, tubing and canoeing. Then cooking on the grill or over the open fire. We had a great time together as a family before my son leaves for the army, in October. We have decided to make this our desitnation after he graduates from boot camp. For the money, it was much more than expected, awesome is all I can come up with.

From the moment we first contacted Debbie about the property on, this vacation experience has been wonderful.The cabin and surrounding property are too beautiful for words.The sounds of the river and the abundance of wildlife brought a restful and welcome break from the daily grind.My husband and I agree this was the best and most beautiful vacation we've ever had. I'm already looking at the available dates for next year. Thanks so much for sharing your cabin, Debbie.

Peaceful, Private, and Secluded River Cabin

Guest: Leslie55555 (McKinley, WI)
Date of Stay: 06/05/10 Review Submitted: 06/10/10

Stayed in early June with another couple. We found the cabin to be very beautiful and relaxing. Plenty to do outside in good weather; sunning, fishing, tubing, croquet, relaxing on the deck, cooking with gas or charcoal, and wildlife watching. We saw bears cross at the top of the driveway by the sign and just north of the property while fishing in the river, so if you go hiking, make plenty of noise. During bad weather, there are many things to do in the house, so you don't mind it at all. The kitchen is well stocked, so don't worry if you forget something, and there is all the cooking equipment that you will need. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the main level; no bathrooms downstairs, but it's in the plans for the future. Both bathrooms have a shower, and one also has a separate tub, which is nice and deep. The house is set up very nicely for those with kids, as there is a loft with a TV, and the basement with the game room and library. Very highly recommended for groups of any size or a quiet getaway for a couple.

Paradise is the best way to describe this gem by the river. We had one of the best vacations of our lives and hope to repeat. We caught dozens of very large fish, had numerous relaxing canoe/tube trips, ate plenty of smores at our daily campfire, held a 1st official family pool tournament, and were even able to create stupendour meals in the awesome kitchen. Thanks for sharing your beautiful spacious home with us. We will remember it forever.

What the previous guests have commented on is true. The Log Home was truly a great "find". Debbie was so helpful and welcomed us to her great place. All of us had our own special and memorable things to do, such as listening to Bruce's LPs while playing cards and dominoes at the dining room table, or competing for high score in pinball, or "getting whipped" in a round of pool and croquet, or sitting around the campfire at night or just relaxing and reading a book, you get the picture.... There was much wildlife around to watch and our last night we even saw a black bear. The entire week was great and we look forward to returning to Beaver Point Lodge. If you want peace and relaxation, this is a great place for you.

We stayed at this beautiful cabin the last week in June. The cabin is surrounded by woods, the river, wildlife, and a well kept lawn. The river is just steps from the cabin, with a firepit and grilling area. The cabin is spacious and beautifully decorated. We spent my many meals outside on the porch. The kichen and dinning room are open and welcoming, a great setup for entertaining. Evenings were spend in the game room playing darts and pool while listening to the jukebox. We caught many fish and spent time canoeing and kayaking. Debbie is most helpful and has all the comforts of home available. We are looking forward to coming back this winter.

Wow! What a week!

Guest: Charles Hail
Date of Stay: 07/12/09 Review Submitted: 03/01/10

What a week of wonderful relaxation and enjoying so many different experiences in one week. A doe and a fawn coming down the road and greeting them leaving the property. A large snapping turtle taking a short cut through the property, catching a large 36" musky or several small mouth bass every time the lure was in the water. Seeing a young eagle do a fly bye or the adult eagle that was in the tree across the river. These are all great experiences that will never be forgotten and we have to thank Debbie for sharing her wonderful home and we hope to return. Thanks so much.

What a "cabin"!!!!! It is hard to put into words what a wonderful and beautiful log home this is. The pictures do not do justice. Debbie went out of her way to make our stay comfortable and our time there special. It was very hard to leave that paradise in the woods, but I know that we will be back.

This was a truly unique experience out in the north woods on the Chippewa River with Deer, wild turkets and Bald Eagles in a totally modern 3 floor log "cabin". The owners have done a magnificent job at refurbishing this spacious home. I'm possitive we will be back. It was the perfect respite.
