Beautiful cabin with a gorgeous view. Beds/pillows were very comfortable. Kitchen well supplied with dishes/pans. Nice to have electricity at boat dock for charging the trolling motor. Fire pit was fun to use later in the evenings. The lake is the perfect size. The fish cleaning house was a welcome amenity--very clean. The loft bedroom was open to the living room (no door) but it didn't matter for our adult children. Every bathroom was modern and clean. Look forward to staying again!

Perfect getaway spot!

We (a small group of women friends) absolutely loved Mia's Black Dog Lodge for our annual spring girlfriend's getaway. It was super clean, comfortable, wonderfully furnished and decorated, and had everything we needed. A beautiful spot and convenient to town. We will return!

A wonderful vacation spot!!

This was our second stay here & it was fabulous! The cleanliness of the home makes it a winner for me, along with the location, and being dog friendly. Bernie and Gerri are wonderful property managers & really take care of their guests. This spot has a special little place in our hearts!

Northwoods Retreat

The place looked even better than the pictures on VRBO. Located on a dead end road to add to the peaceful seclusion of the property. Of course the fishing on Big Chetac is always great. We will definitely be staying here again.
