Absolutely perfect

Stayed here for 5 days with family - 5 adults and 3 kids ages 2-6. It was the perfect cabin for our family. Checkin went smoothly, kitchen had all the equipment we could need, newer appliances, very comfy beds, lots of beach toys and watercraft. The kids loved the downstairs game room. Overall the cabin is very spacious, and set up to provide multiple gathering spaces. The beach is absolutely lovely - soft sand, and the entry into the lake is very sandy and shallow as well, great for toddlers learning to be more comfortable in the water. Lots of water craft to take out (paddle boards, kayak, canoe, paddle boat), and we rented a pontoon that we docked. We hardly saw the neighbors, and the area was very quiet overall. Everything in the cabin seemed clean, well cared for, and in very good condition. Overall a phenomenal experience and we would absolutely stay here again!

Cabin Get Away

My husband and I had a wonderful stay along with our children and grandchildren. The property is gorgeous. I couldn't believe how well the kitchen was stock with everything you need to cook and store food. We had one rainy day but the game room kept everyone entertained with the wide variety of games. This is the best experience I have had on Vrbo.

Our 9th Stay! Still as good as ever!

We have been coming to stay at Pam & Doug’s cabin for the past 9 years - it’s the high point of our summer! Everything about this place is so amazing! The beach and water are so clean, the house has room for everyone and even if the weather isn’t the greatest there is plenty to do! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Best vacay ever

From the moment you enter the front door you know you are destined for days of vacation life and family memories. Your eyes lead you right to the epic sandy beach lined with an array of water toys - and you are surrounded by a warm comfy vibe, I called it a “cabin hug”. None of us wanted to leave - it is a destination we will definitely be visiting again and again. The owners were friendly and caring and their cabin reflects that as well. Thanks for great memories I will cherish.

Perfect place!

I grew up in the area and now live out of state. I rented this house to celebrate my 50th birthday and introduce Wisconsin to my best friends. It was perfect for our needs. The owners are very generous and thoughtful throughout - well stocked kitchen and linens, firepit, gas grill and kayaks, etc. The lakeshore property cannot be beat. The only thing I wasn't entirely clear on before check-in is the property manager will check you in and out in person - no lockbox for key or access code. Fully understandable that the owners prefer facetime with renters because this property is BEAUTIFUL.

Another amazing vacation on Shell Lake

We enjoyed another week-long vacation on Shell Lake in August, at Pam and Doug's beautiful cabin. We spent the week swimming, jumping off the dock, playing on the beach and using all of the great water toys (paddle boat, paddle boards, kayak and canoe)! We all love using the game room too. The kids especially love playing Big Buck Safari and ping pong. The cabin was fantastic as always. We'll be back!

This was our 8th year renting this home . We have two families that meet up with a total of 5 kids (ages 10-19) and there is plenty of room and things to do for everyone. Not only do we love the home, we also love the area! Plenty to do no matter what the weather! Can’t wait to return next summer!

Fantastic Lakefront Cabin

Our family enjoyed spending time at this beautiful, well-appointed cabin. It had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and relaxing. Gorgeous lake front property with lawn space for endless fun and games, clean sandy beach and swim area, firepit on the beach for bonfires every night, and a game room on the lower level of the cabin for everyone to enjoy. Tom the caretaker was very welcoming and had a lot of helpful information. Our family had a blast!! Thank you Pam and Doug for everything. We would LOVE to come back!!

Excellent Getaway

This cabin was the perfect location for a long overdue family vacation. There were so many things to do inside and out by the water that there wasn’t a time that we weren’t busy. We made good use of the kayaks and paddle boats when it was hot out, enjoyed s’mores by the fire and even caught some smallmouth bass off the dock! When it was windy out we had plenty of fun in the basement man cave. Everyone in my family had a wonderful time and we would definitely rent this property again in the future.

Family Spring Vacation

We spent a long weekend with our grandkids at the lake cabin. The weather was cool and the lake had some ice, but we enjoyed watching the deer from the deck. Our grandkids thought the game room was the best! They played for hours. The adults enjoyed the games, too. We had many good recommendations from the property manager from Klopp's for pre-made pizzas to take back and bake to Louie's Fine Meats for our steaks. The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed cooking our meals and having dinner together around the dining room table. We couldn't have asked for a better lake cabin getaway!

Everything you could wish for.

We loved our stay! From the location hidden in the pines and layout of the property on a beautiful part of Shell Lake to the well appointed cabin, this place exceeded our expectations. This home checks all the boxes. Great game room, peaceful quiet areas to hide away with a book or for coffee or a nap, good sized bedrooms with comfy beds, clean bathrooms and a well organized and appointed kitchen. Despite our stay being in late October we were able to enjoy a few fires on the beach with provided firewood (inside and out). We shopped local boutiques and hit a few of the orchards. The owners truly thought of everything a family might want or need. Tom, the property manager was easy to work with for check in and check out. We will be back!

Why they chose this property

Beautiful Sandy Beach & Lake Front and we love the cabin.....

What makes this property unique

Big sandy beach and very clear water with a sandy bottom. The lake is usually not that busy. You can boat across the lake to Shell Lake and dock your boat and have dinner at Lakeview Bar and Grill in Shell Lake or get hot dogs and ice cream at Scoop N Brew or have breakfast at Shell Lake Lunchbox. All 3 located on main street.
