Great location, great house for a group.
We held our family reunion here Aug. 10-17, 2024. It was well worth the 13 hr. trip from So.California for this beautiful and relaxing location. The home was plenty big for our group of 8. We rented a pontoon boat for the week (from St. Germain watersports) and was amazing exploring the lake and wildlife. FYI, if you do rent a boat be VERY careful as the lake is very shallow in some spots and we did in fact nick the propeller on rocks. Larry is a fabulous host and proactively reached out with check in instructions and resolved any questions we had very quickly. Would stay again in a heart beat.

Razorback retreat
Great time as always, been here many times and never disappoints. Beautiful house, beautiful lake, beautiful area. Camped in this area for many years as a kid but camping is tougher these days. So glad we found such great place to stay on the same lake that gave me so many great childhood memories. Thanks Larry

Annual Family Snowmobiling Trip (w/no snow!!!!)
This is the second year in a row that we stayed here for our yearly family snowmobiling trip. Unfortunately this year we had no snow but still got away with the family. Both years, for what we look for in our VRBO homes, this one is perfect. We plan on using it next year.

Northwoods Family Vacation
We enjoyed a week in northern Wisconsin with our daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren at this wonderful family home. There was plenty of room for everyone. The grandkids loved playing in the sand and watching the wildlife wandering through the yard. The location is great - far enough away to be peaceful, but close enough to dining and activity venues. The property is well maintained; and is equipped with all the necessities for a comfortable stay. We look forward to returning again next year.

Razorback Retreat is spectacular
This was our second year at Razorback Retreat and just as amazing as the first year! We love the layout of the place, it really works for 2 families beautifully. The lake is gorgeous, with great fishing and frogging. Larry is such a great host, we feel so lucky to have found this wonderful property.

A great stay as always. Grew up camping on this lake and it's always great to get back and relive childhood memories. Such a beautiful place to stay with plenty of room for groups up to 10. Already can't wait for the chance to get back. Thanks Larry

Awesome Property
This is a great place to stay as the property, location, and house is as near perfect as you can get. Not a single negative for us during the stay. I would only tell anyone thinking about using it to snowmobile out of, to realize the driveway and parking can be interesting. But small price to pay for this place!!!!

Beautiful home!
The house is amazing and had everything we needed. It’s in a great location for snowmobiling. We came knowing it was close to plum lake which has a marked lake trail. We had a little issue at first figuring out where to get onto the lake without riding roads forever. We eventually found a boat ramp off of razorback road not to far from the house that worked out well for getting onto the lake. We will definitely rent this house again in the future.

A perfect weekend
This home and property were absolutely beautiful. The house was impeccably clean and had everything we needed for a nice Labor Day weekend getaway with family. The space was perfectly suited for all eight members of our family, spanning three generations. If that wasn’t enough, Razorback Lake is a true gem. As a family of paddlers, we truly enjoyed exploring the lake’s islands and bays and coming back to enjoy hotdogs over the fire.

Memories made!
Our children, their spouses, and our three young grandchildren spent a week in this marvelous northwoods home. In many ways it reminded me of my parents’ lake home when I was younger. The home was spacious and well maintained. The kitchen contained everything we needed for meals. Plenty of rooms for everyone. Great views of the lake. We were able to observe plenty of wildlife on the property. And everyone enjoyed playing in the water at the shore. The hosts were very helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Braasch

Host profile image
My name is Larry Braasch. I'm a resident of Eagle River. I have years of experience designing homes and actually designed and built the Razorback Retreat.

Why they chose this property

My parents bought the property in the 70's with a small 2 bedroom cottage on it. Winters were tough without running water so we decided to build a year round home.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful scenery, great fishing, kayaking, quiet location. Seated in the Northern Highlands State Forest only a hop, skip, and a jump away from Eagle River, Minoqua, and Boulder Junction.
