Great location

The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed, we loved eating out on the cover deck. The location was great, close to town but very private and secluded. The yard was big and has lots of shade our dog loved it!

Great Stay on the Pixley

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Paradise on the Pixey! It is a great setting and a very beautiful place! Also, very quiet! Lane was very helpful and timely in answering a couple of questions we had before our stay. We would definitely consider staying here again. Thank for sharing your home with us!

Our June stay on the Pixley

This place is awesome. It had everything we needed to complete a wonderful week up north. The owner was very accommodating & even gave us a few fishing pointers to get us started - which turned into success for Pike, Bass, Walleye, & even a couple of Musky. I would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting an up north feel though with all the accommodations of home and then some!!

Beautiful home in the Northwoods

We enjoyed our week in this spacious home! Plenty of room for our party of 8. Very comfortable main level, and the jacuzzi tub was a bonus! The lower level is noticeably colder, even in the middle of summer. I'd suggest cozy pajamas and slippers for those staying down there. Overall we appreciated the amenities (washer/dryer/dishwasher/etc.) and would definitely stay here again! Host was very friendly and communicative, also helped make our stay even better!

Relaxing Getaway

We had a wonderful week at this cabin. It's in a very quiet location and the yard has a nice gradual slope to the water. We enjoyed kayaking the lake (we even used the portage over the dam one day) and catching a bunch of smallmouth and pike. We also made use of the rowboat with trolling motor and the canoe. The cabin is well equipped with quality cook wear and just about anything else you would need during your stay. An added bonus is not needing to buy bottled water because the well water is great to drink!

Awesome Family Vacation

This place was beautiful and big enough for our entire family. Our kids all have a fiancé or boyfriend and they were all there. We loved being able to fish off the dock, kayak right out back, get in the boat right from the dock, and the view in the morning with the loons in on the water was amazing. We all had a chance to explore the northern area and had a wonderful place to come back and gather. The large jetted tub in the upstairs bathroom was awesome for just relaxing and taking care of the sore muscles from the day. Thank you so much for sharing this property with others

Vacation 2023

Great, quiet property. Home was very clean and comfortable. Property owner was very attentive and friendly. Property isn't infant friendly because it is a bi-level, and the stair railing isn't suitable for a baby gate. Also rails would allow a mobile baby to crawl through. However is perfect for older children that can manage stairs.

A wonderful location and beautiful home!

We stayed for a week with our two kids and two dogs. To have a cabin with an attached garage is a blessing! It rained most of the time- so the large deck was a blessing to still be able to see the fall colors! Fishing was a blast! The large yard was fantastic for the kids to play. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware which made our week easier. All the conveniences made the week very comfortable and enjoyable. It’s also close enough to town that you can run and grab what you need. We will definitely be back! Thank you Lane, for opening up your home to us!

Really great place!

Not much to complain about! Very spacious, beautiful home on a great section of the Flambeau River. Lots of room for many family members. Had most everything we needed for our week stay. Kitchen was great size, well stocked, and we appreciated the large dining table for our family meals. Fishing was so-so, but that is certainly not a reflection on the owner, maybe more that we didn't give it as much attention as we should have to figure out the good spots, but weather wasn't too cooperative at times. Perfect location, as it was close enough to town (Park Falls) for anything we needed, but far enough to feel secluded. Great access to water both above and below the nearby dam. We kayaked down river one day and it was amazing. Considering I grew up in the area, I will strongly consider this place every time I need to spend some time in my old hometown. Great thanks to the owner for sharing his wonderful home with us. Hopefully we will be back again!

Liked: Location
Disliked: Communication

Great potential, just need some attention.

Nice place, nice location, just a few issues. Send like the place hadn't gotten enough attention lately. Main bathroom toilet is nearly falling off. Washing machine is great to have but needs to be adjusted. Way out of balance and walks across the room. Many kitchen pots, pans, knives, etc are really old. Not a lot of communication or instructions. Had to contact owner on day of arrival to find out how to get in. When you are there, just not welcoming, but more threatening about getting out on time and don't leave anything behind our they will charge you$35 to return it. We did have a great time, and with a little attention, this would be 5 stars.

Sorry you felt threatened with the departure instructions Dave. I won't go into detail as to why there is a service charge to return items, and a firm checkout time. Your are the first guest in 15 years to find these offence. Let me be clear to the folks reading this. I never received any communication of ANY issue you list in the review of your stay. Regarding the pots and pans and utensils. I buy 3 brand new teflon saute' pans every season. The pots mostly have copper bottoms and stainless steel bodies. I buy quality so they do last. Regarding the bathroom toilet. The next guest did contact me regarding the wobble. She took the crescent wrench in the provided tool kit (righty tighty lefty loosy) VOILA!! in less than 2 minutes she had the issue solved. Folks, this is a house in the wilderness. It has WIFI, Central Air, Direct TV. Every reasonable effort will be made for your stay to be comfortable. If you would rather write a negative review instead of communicating concerns or issues; please consider another property.

House Needs TLC but Vacation was everything we needed

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful Northwoods retreat. My son said the exterior colors reminded him of the old Lincoln Logs toys (which the house supplied in the game closet). Upon arrival we noticed the grounds were not well maintained, maybe someone came to mow the lawn but there were many weeds and dead leaves (I assume from last fall) covering the yard and we had to sweep and rake to enjoy the campfire area. The pier has seen better days but was usable and we enjoyed fishing from there. We also had to clean out the row boat, canoe and the grill in order to use them. PLEASE NOTE: there is no propane grill at this property (as pictured) so be prepared to bring charcoal. There is a cute beach (Smith Lake County Park) about a 20 minute boat ride (or 10 minute car ride) from the house. There were other small issues that Lane said he was aware of: The front door handle was broken so we had to use the garage entrance, but not a big deal. The back sliding door gave us trouble and kept coming off the track which forced us to use the lower level patio door. On the Upper level patio There was only one chair and patio loveseat (the photos show 4 chairs and loveseat) so I would advise to bring your own camp chairs. I cleaned residue out the coffee maker and some of the dishes had leftover food particles on them when we arrived. I also bought a Swiffer to clean the kitchen and dining area floors because we like to walk barefoot but our feet were turning black. There was a single mouse dropping downstairs on the office desk where my son was drawing but I know rodents are inevitable so I was actually surprised we didn’t see more remnants. The beds were all comfortable and the hot water was nice and hot for showers and washing. The house was well stocked with linens, utensils and small kitchen appliances. There is WiFi so we brought our Roku (at the owners advisement) for the kids to watch a show when it rained, but it did not always work properly and we had a poor cell signal even when connected to WiFi. Overall, although we had to work a bit for it, we had a terrific time and would definitely come back!

Wow 4 stars. Where does a person start? Property is in the woods. (thank God!) if you want to rake leaves to lite a campfire go ahead if that is your thing. Cleaning crew mop floor every time between guests. Dock is not brand new but is a wonderful spot to fish and sit and view wonderful sunsets and perfectly capable to moor your boat to. Front door fixed. Entry to house was never a problem. one mouse turd.......really??? Good eyes!! Guest 40 minutes late checking out. Made cleaning crew wait 40 minutes outside on a strict schedule. Guest left the house a mess according to cleaning crew (much worse than typical) Guest left dog droppings all over the lawn. Guest left clothing articles at the house and cleaning crew went out of their way to clean, box and ship items back to guest. Thanks for the four stars.
