Secluded 4+ Acres Waterfront On Lake Alice

Nice big house on a beautiful lake. Owners very responsive and friendly.

We had 14 adults and 7 kids (14-2 years old)...we had plenty of space to sleep and room to move. The owner was extremely accommodating and prompt to answer questions. We loved the kayaks. We brought a pontoon to use and fished, tubed, & skied...one downfall; the water is a bit of a hike down the stairs. We had an older couple and 1 on crutches, which made it difficult. There is ample kitchen space and room to cook. The gathering space and the deck was great for socialized and relaxing. There is a washer/dryer, which we used to do a load of towels. Great space, would go back!

On arrival, we had to enter through the garage which smelled horrible of rotten food and dirty diapers. That odor remained for 5 days. We were told to take the garbage down the driveway on Monday but garbage didn’t come until Tuesday so we had to haul it up and down for 2 days. For nearly $500/night we shouldn’t have to do any cleaning or hauling of refuse. The owner knew a year in advance that we planned to have an outdoor wedding on location so I would’ve expected some extra TLC for landscaping but it looked awful with an overgrowth of weeds and bushes. We cut down an ugly dead tree by the lake so it wasn’t in the background of every photo. The owner knew the jetted tub did not function for at least 3 weeks and didn’t tell us about it until the day before we arrived. When I tell my landlord something is broken he fixes it within 48 hours. The basement was wet and dank/musty smelling so bad my parents couldn’t sleep down there. No surprise after seeing the gutters filled with stuff, preventing proper drainage away from the house. Fans were going to help dry the carpet but the 2 dehumidifiers we found were not plugged in and running, which we set up. The odor is still present but not as bad. It took 4 days for it to dissipate enough to go down there. The basement bathroom door doesn’t close so it’s not a useable bathroom unless you don’t mind not having privacy. The house definitely doesn’t sleep 20 and without the basement couldn’t sleep the 10 of us that stayed overnight. I picked up garbage off the balcony, not realizing until hours later that it was insulation, which gave me hives for 5 days on both arms. There is either a small animal living in the house or a large bees nest. Our guess is a large bees nest kicking the insulation out due to the large number of wasps flying in and out of the eaves. We had to take down the wedding dishes and linens off the balcony tables, clean it & move outdoor furniture so we didn’t get insulation in our food. That’s not something you expect to be doing in the middle of your wedding day. We were not told there wasn’t air conditioning until the day before arrival. It’s not listed as “no a/c” and I would expect a house like that to have the usual amenities. I never would’ve rented it if I had known because my dad gets bad heat stroke that puts him in the hospital. WI summer ranges 40+ to 90+ degrees so ac is expected. The homeowner needs to put more time, effort, & maintenance in this home before renting it out

What a great time at this home! Perfect setting in the beautiful northwoods of Wisconsin! Comfortable and spacious with every detail thought about. Couldn't believe how accommodating the owner was! We got plenty of time in the kayaks and watched th eagles flying overhead. Thank you so much for everything! Definately coming back here!

We had 14 people staying at this lake house for 7 days in July ranging in age from 9 - 67. The house is huge and accommodated us well inside. We opened the windows and the breeze kept us comfortable throughout the stay. It was mid to upper 80s outside. We did a lot of family meals and the kitchen had pretty much everything we needed. We did bring a large pot for pasta as the one they had wasn't big enough for all of us - 14 people is a lot! :) Plenty of seating in the dining room, living room, and deck. The house was fully stocked with paper supplies (TP & paper towels), towels, linen, laundry detergent, dish washing detergent, garbage bags, & firewood. I would recommend putting a TV in the basement for the younger visitors. There is one tv in the living room. The grassy slope down to the steps that lead to the dock and the steps themselves are quite a work out. I think we counted 41 steps in all! It worked out fine but just keep that in mind for older vacationers. Jody was great, very responsive and even checked in with us during our stay to see how things were going. It was warmer than normal on the lake so the boat fishing wasn't great but my 9 year old nephew caught a ton of fish right off the dock. We took advantage of many activities during our week stay including renting a pontoon for fishing, speed boat tubing with the kids and playing on a lily pad by the dock. The lake is great for tubing/boating as it is very calm. My sister-in-law tried out one of the kayaks at the house too. We had a fire one night and made smores. We picked up pizza from Bambinos in downtown Tomahawk...it was delicious. We ate at Bottoms up Bar & Grill one evening which is located on the lake. They were great and even let us use their sand volleyball court one night for a family tournament. We also spent a rainy day at the bowling alley in downtown Tomahawk. The person running it that day was by himself but he was extremely nice and was able to accommodate all of us and prepare our food at the same time as waiting on the bar side of the alley. We caught a water ski show one of the nights which was nice as well. The best store for grocery's was Trigs. It had everything you needed and the people were extremely nice. My husband and I saw a Black Bear on the street right off the alley.and we saw several eagles flying by the house. We caught fireworks on the lake one night as well (Bottoms up was putting on a show). Overall, great stay!
