We loved this place! It was perfect for our family of two teens and two dogs. The little touches of the dog bed, dog bowls, tie-outs, and S'mores for the humans were very appreciated. The kayaks and paddle boards were in good working order, and the kids loved the lily pad. We were able to rent a pontoon boat through an outside vendor for the weekend and dock it at the provided dock, which was super convenient. We would definitely come here again!

Michelle, we are so glad The Willow at Acorn Shores was such a great fit for your family and pups! It sounds like the kayaks, paddle boards, and lily pad made for a memorable time on the water, and we love that the dock made it so easy to bring in your pontoon. We hope to host you all again soon!

We had a great time! Quiet area with a few homes close by, but otherwise very private. Great amenities. We paddleboarded and kayaked every day. Plenty of space for a large family to stay, cook meals, enjoy the outdoors.

This home is a great location for gatherings. It has 4 comfortable bedrooms and large open accommodating common spaces. Even though it rained almost our entire time the living spaces kept us having fun together at the large tables and great room style TV viewing room. We would have loved to have used the kayaks and canoe. Next time!

Great spacious winter cabin!

We booked this location because it was close to the Birkie trail and had a hot tub! We loved the views to the lake. It very comfortably and easily fit 4 adults and 3 young kids. Kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable, and the 2 living room areas were great to spread out. The 2 bathrooms upstairs were much more updated while the lower bath had some retro basement vibes but very clean and no complaints! We went sledding out the front of the cabin and it was only 10 minutes drive to one of the Birkie trailheads. The hottub was awesome at night after a day of activities and we appreciated all the unused beach towels as well. We would stay here again!

Family vacation

I loved our stay at acorn shores! My family and I vacationed here and everyone enjoyed themselves including our dogs. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing on the lake. We also loved the outdoor fire and s’mores by the lake watching the sun set! The place was great and we were at one with nature. It was like a cabin in the middle of the woods only upgraded! The locals were so kind. You have to go eat at the Tavern! Great food and such kind people. We also enjoyed our pontoon and fishing boat rental with Hayward power sports! Definitely a great experience!

Fill with Amenities

The home was very clean. It had more amenities than any other vacation rental I have stayed in. The kitchen had everything imaginable and the bathrooms were also nicely stocked. The hot tub seemed new and in great condition. The lake is beautiful to look at but it is weedy and mucky (as noted in the listing) so we chose not to swim there. We rented a boat on nearby Round Lake. The host was very accessible and helpful.

Great lodge at the lake - perfect for families!

The lodge is very nice and the hosts are always helping to have a great time. If there was something missing or not working, the hosts replied quickly. As it is a huge house the time between checkout and checkin must be big enough to let the staff clean up according to the hosts expectation. The ice maker in the fridge was shut off by the hosts on purpose. The foosball was broken, but the hosts immediately took care of it. The amenities with the boats and the shear is great! We would always stay there again.

Hey Andreas, thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation of our home as a great place for families! We have removed the broken foosball table and replaced it with an air hockey table! As some do not prefer the local water, we provide ice trays for ice instead of hooking up the fridge. Please come again anytime!

Great Find on Short Notice!

Acorn Shores Resort worked out really well for our family of 8. The 4 bedrooms were well appointed and the 3 baths were great. The kitchen was well equipped, and my wife really liked the ample storage for our food. The main activity on these annual trips is fishing, with floating on the lake being second. We rented a 24 ft pontoon from Hayward Power Sports. The dock could be a little longer and higher to better accommodate a boat of this size. We almost had to be on shore to get the entry gate by the dock. The fishing on both Lake McClaine and Upper Twin produced a wide variety of fish, but no musky or walleye. Most everyone enjoyed the hot tub multiple times. If we weren't on the water, we typically sat on the porch to enjoy the lake view through the trees. We saw that this house is a work-in-process with some trim still to be installed. However, it did not detract from our very enjoyable stay. Acorn Shores is on our short list to visit again.

Solid spot with lake access

10 of us stayed at this property for a boys fishing trip. Cabin is in a great location, not too close to town, but close enough that it’s not a big deal to run in. Lake access is great. House layout and beds were great, although it did seem that some areas were still under construction. Not a big deal. Plenty of room to spread out and definitely enough room to sleep 10. One thing to keep in mind is that the neighboring cottage (part of the same “resort”), is literally right next door, as in maybe 20 feet. If another group is renting the cottage, you’ll have to share the dock, fire pit, and canoes/kayaks with them. We were lucky that the host was staying next door our weekend - if it had been another group that wanted dock/fire pit access, there definitely is not enough room on the dock to tie up two boats. We also followed the hosts suggestion and rented from Hayward Power Sports. Excellent service and experience. Fishing tips: we had the best luck on trolling crank baits for northern/bass in the connected lake, with some small hits on casting spinners on the home lake. Worms and jigs were great for sunfish and crappie as well. This property is accommodating for any type of stay you’d want to have, and the hosts are great with communication. If I’m in the area, I would certainly consider staying here again.

This house was great for a group! Loved the kitchen and the big table, and the beds were very comfortable. They're obviously still working on a few items to improve the experience--the trail to the lake and the porch--but it's still a great house and in a nice, quiet location. (If you want to use the porch, I recommend bringing a fan.) The lake itself was great in that we could get to the other lakes in the chain. The chain of lakes was great! It would have been nice if the boat lift had been installed but, fortunately, we had a great weather so we didn't end up needing it.If you're looking for an authentic supper club experience, we recommend the Tally Ho Supper Club. It's less than 10 minutes away and has great food!Brittney and Andrew were great with all communication and were very accommodating! We had a wonderful time here!!
