Janell and Kevin were very kind hosts, they live next door to the cabin and you share a driveway, but would never know they were there. Kevin even let us borrow 3 of his fishing poles. We had 7 adults and 2 dogs and none of us felt cramped, more than enough room for all of us. The cabin was extremely well stocked as well. We also brought our boat and we were able to park the trailer at the property, along with 4 cars. The deck was large, and again all 7 of us plus 2 dogs did not feel crammed. Its nice to sit and look at the lake from the deck, as well as the fire pit, which was stocked with plenty of wood for us to use. The pier was nice to dock our boat to, and sat for the entire week. You can swim off the pier, however, there is no way to get out of the water without access to a ladder or plank on your boat. The shore line is wooded and the bottom is rocky. There is a small island across the lake that is more sandy and shallow for swimming or just hanging out. We also had access to the hose which was nice for washing off the boat and paddleboards. Chetek is a cute little town with tons to do and see, Rice Lake is just 15 minutes away if you need something bigger. The only thing we wished is that we had more space down by the water and had access to get in and out along the shoreline.... we made it work, not a deal breaker at all. We would definitely come again, and would recommend staying at this beautiful cabin
