We were quite happy with the accommodations -- we had 7 adults and 4 children very comfortable -- the cottage sits about 15 feet from the shore watched the kids ski and tube - the enclosed porch was nice for mornings - fishing good caught enough for a fish fry -- would stay there again.

Summerhaven was a very cozy Up North experience, and the cabin is in a great location on Lake Lost and was very spacious and comfortable. Jeff was great host he was very easy to talk to and was available throughout the entire trip. The dock was easy to tie up our rental pontoon and we enjoyed our time at Summerhaven and Lost Lake!!!

Perfect lake house

My family had the best weekend relaxing here! The house is plenty big for our family of 8 adults. The sunsets and sunrises were beautiful. We loved sitting around the fire pit at night and swimming in the lake during the day.

Beautiful property!

Spent a fantastic July 4 week here. The house was perfect! It is huge and it is CLEAN! The sunroom alone is worth the rental. Jeff worked hard to accommodate our WiFi needs and it couldn’t have turned out better. So glad we’ve discovered Lost Lake and this house.

Thank you Denise. It was great having you and your family here on the lake. Thank you sooooo much for leaving the house so clean. I had a flat tire on my way up and it was nice not having a big mess when I arrived. Very much appreciated. Please stay with us again and I'll give you a discount on your next trip up. Jeff

Overall nice stay on a quiet lake

We stayed at this Lost Lake location for the first week of August for a family vacation and generally found the property to be adequate for our family's needs. The house can sleep a lot of people and had a good kitchen and common spaces. The house could benefit from some updates and maintenance, but ultimately did fine for us for our stay.

Very nice cabin rental

My family really enjoyed our week stay at Summerhaven. The bedrooms were all nice with plenty of room, loved having 3 bathrooms, the kitchen was very well supplied with everything we needed, but our favorite room was the sunroom with its wonderful lake views! The lakeshore was shallow and sandy and great for swimming. Our host was readily available and very easy to work with. Looking forward to staying again next year!

Family Vacation

We had a great stay and Jeff was great to work with. The house was clean and ready for our arrival. It was roomy and plenty big enough for our group of 7. Fishing was great right off of the pier. Perhaps a couple of the mattresses could be changed out in the future, but overall, the house was great and we would definitely visit again.

Great Time on Lost Lake!

Wonderful week at Summerhaven on Lost Lake with the family. The house was very clean, well maintained and had everything we needed for a perfect week. The lake is clear and beautiful- we were able to see deer, eagles and a loon right at the property. Jeff was very responsive and was able to answer any questions. We hope to go back next year!

Very accomodating stay

Everything was wonderful! Only complaint was that the heater didn't seem to work in the living room area (the weather was unusually cold the first few days) and the listing said linens were included, but that didn't include any towels. Contact with owner was easy and we were able to get mini issues resolved quickly. What a nice and comfortable cabin...and it really is right near the water!

Wonderful Lake Stay in the Northwoods

I have been renting various properties through VRBO for decades! This house is warm and inviting with lovely views of the lake. We love to cook as a family and the well-equipped kitchen and dining areas accommodated us all (11 and a two-year-old) nicely. The dock area was accessible for our boat and kayaks and we had a flotilla of Fluzzles (interlocking modular tubes) anchored in the bay area at all times. Nice sandy bottom on the lake. I would recommend this property for larger families who like to be all under the same roof and our host Jeff was very approachable and available if we had questions. A good time was had by all!

Unfortunately, this renter damaged the house during their stay. A police report was filed and his security deposit forfeited. Please look at our years of FIVE STAR reviews for an accurate description of the Summerhaven vacation experience. Thank you.

Not as good as anticipated

One bedroom did not have A/C. The toilet was clogged for a few days due to a pump issue in the septic system. The A/C froze up and leaked through the ceiling from the second to first floor. The neighbors are pricks. We literally had a leash for a dog and someone let it out of the cabin by mistake and the neighbors reported us instead of speaking with us as adults. No easy entry into the water. My sister had a hip replacement and it was impossible for her to access the lake without a step stool. Not enough trash bins. Lots of dead trees along the driveway, a high wind would knock them over onto a vehicle. Driveway is very narrow and windy making it difficult to back a boat or utility trailer.

We try to make your stay with us as enjoyable as possible. As with any home, situations arise that are unexpected. We did fix the toilet in a timely manner. You did say that you enjoyed fishing and catching crappies and atving on the trails. We always want our quests to enjoy the northwoods.

Our favorite stay up north in years

We had an amazing time at Jeff's property on Lost Lake. Our family has been going up north for a week in the summer since I was a young child- about 30 years. We have been using vrbo the last 5 years or so to find rental properties. Summerhaven was our favorite location we've ever stayed. The house is large and big enough to fit our family, and the dining/living room area is the perfect large open area for everyone to hang out together. We spent every morning in the beautiful front room that overlooks the lake drinking our morning coffee. Overall the house was perfect for us. The backyard area is a little small, but that was actually ok with us since it meant not having to walk a long way from the boat or firepit to get into the house. We did a lot of fishing in our week stay. This is the best fishing we have had in 10+ years!! Caught enough fish for a fish fry for 8 people and bagged more to take home!! Lots of great fishing spots on the lake. I also thought the lake was the perfect size to "get to know" the good fishing spots over the week. Communication from Jeff was great- we had a quick phone conversation when I first arrived at the property and he let me know some important info about the rental and made sure we were settling in ok. Overall our family couldn't have been happier with the rental, and we are hoping to return again next year!

Fantastic getaway

We just returned from a week at Summerhaven on Lost Lake and had such a wonderful time. Jeff was incredibly responsive and proactive in his communication with us ahead of our trip, and also very quick to respond if anything come up while we were there. The kitchen was well-stocked with any items we'd need. It was also very clean and we appreciated the additional care to cleaning amid COVID. We had 10 people in our group and we had plenty of space in the home. It never felt too cramped or small. We enjoyed evening campfires which overlooked the water. We even had daily experiences with seeing and hearing eagles up close and personal - something no one in our group had ever experienced! Many of us ran/biked around the lake (5.25 miles), with about 800 yards on Hwy 155. Great fishing from the pier and anybody who fished was able to get something! We took Jeff's recommendation and got carry-out from Patty's Murmuring Waters for Friday fish fry and the food was delicious. One thing that may be helpful is that if you have younger kids in your group, biking for them must be planned out/travel to another location - we felt it wasn't safe to let them go out on Lost Lake Rd (cars going too fast, no real bike lane). Our children (ages 10 and 6) are used to riding their bikes around right from home base (either our home or the campsite), but they weren't able to do that here without an adult. We had such a fantastic time and hope to be back in the future! Thank you, Jeff!

We absolutely loved our stay on lost Lake! Our host Jeff was easy to communicate with and always ready if we had questions. The home is spacious with plenty of room for large groups or families. The kitchen was fully stocked, and we used the fire pit every night of our stay. Everything was as described and we would definitely stay there again. Also, the fishing was fantastic!
