Fantastic property, nice beach, great water “toys” (lilly pad, kayaks & paddle boards), clean, and welcoming. Could use another refrigerator but we made due without any issues. Enjoyed our week in the woods.

Wonderful lake home with many amenities perfect for a family vacation. We enjoy making meals together and the large kitchen and outdoor grill were great! Also loved spending time on the wrap around porch or screen porch. Take advantage of the trails around the lake or on the lake with provided kayaks, paddle boards, outdoor games, plus a fire pit. If the weather isn’t great, there are board games, puzzles, or watch sports on a large screen.

Beautiful cabin

This was a perfect place to go with high school friends. The place was amazing and was well stocked with everything we needed and more. We loved the sunrises every morning from the porch. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Galentine cabin trip

We stayed over Valentine’s weekend for a Galentine’s trip and it was the perfect spot for our group of 11. The cabin had plenty of space for all of us to spread out and relax without ever feeling crowded. We walked out on the frozen lake, which was such a fun experience. It made the whole weekend feel extra “Wisconsin winter” in the best way. Everything was clean and exactly as described. Communication was easy and check in was smooth. We’re already talking about planning our next trip back! Highly recommend for a girls trip or a larger group getaway!

Great Lake Home

We enjoyed our stay at the property. It has everything you need and was a perfect get away for our family of adult and teen children. The lake was just a short walk from the porch.

Lakeside Lodge cabin on Lake Petenwell

Our family had an amazing time at the Lakeside Lodge cabin on Lake Petenwell! The home is spacious, fully stocked with all the amenities, and comfortably accommodated our group of 13. We enjoyed beautiful lake views and easy access to the water. We even rented a pontoon from Lure across the lake—it was a blast! The location is peaceful yet offers plenty to do. We absolutely loved our stay!

Nice cabin

The Cabin is very clean and spacious. Owners went above and beyond to make it feel Christmassy with not one , but 3 Christmas trees. Lovely cabin and surroundings. We will definitely rent it again.

Splendid fall getaway

Our family had a wonderful stay at the cabin! There was plenty of room for everyone, and the cabin was clean and cozy! We had a rare 80 degree Oct day so the kids enjoyed splasing in the lake. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and the beautiful, peaceful location.

Amazing Cabin Getaway!

Just got back from an awesome stay at this cabin! The lake views are stunning, and I loved having bonfires under the stars. I even saw a bald eagle! As the first guest with the new owners, I was super impressed by how well they’ve done everything. This place is top-notch! If you want a chill spot to relax and enjoy nature, I highly recommend this cabin. Can’t wait to come back!

Great place for a family get together

We really enjoyed our stay, our whole family got together and were able to eat, relax, enjoy the scenery, and sleep peacefully in one location. I will warn others attempting to go to this cabin that Android GPS might take you to the cabin next door, lol. Be wary of your GPS!

Overall, it was good. Positives - location and lake view was great. Provision of the hammock and area outside the cabin was great. Negative: Could not use wifi or tv due to lack of wifi speed.

Not the first time

We’ve been using cottage keeper for many years for wisconsin mini vacations and longer weekends and each time was a nice experience. Their cabins are exactly what we are looking for in any season. We’ve been coming every year to different cabins and each of them are really nice.
