Very clean, enough bedrooms and beds to fit everyone comfortably and a very easy and quick checkout. We stayed here specifically to ski at ski rule, everything was great, would love to see it sometime in the summer.
Everything you look for in a lake house and more. Loved our stay for a week. We didn’t lack for anything. Host is on point for whatever you need very responsive
We stayed here with friends and their children to ski and celebrate the New Year. The property is beautiful and comfortable, the owner was great to communicate with, cozy woodburning fireplace to gather round. Perfect get away property!
The home looks over beautiful Sunset Lake. You cannot beat the views from the deck. A perfect place to have your morning coffee. Plenty of room for our family. The owner was quick to respond to all our questions. We were in town for a funeral, but will definitely stay here again under better circumstances.
Even with no snow, Brule was open for skiing and the cross country skiers found plenty to do with hiking to waterfalls.
Owners were very responsive to a minor issue.
This is ann excellent property. Very comfortable and well equipped. We have another cottage on Sunset Lake and rented Sam's cottage because of a large family gathering. The 4 bathrooms are a big plus with a large group. Sam was very responsive to our questions. We also had a trailer at the property for additional bedrooms. All in all, a great experience and we'll certainly rent it again if we need the extra spae.
This was the perfect place to stay on our ski trip to Ski Brule. The house was very clean and had everything you could think of. The game selection they had was unbelievable. The kids loved playing the games at night. We went sledding one morning and did some ice fishing too. We all said we will stay here again when we come back to Ski Brule! There was plenty of space for 10 of us and a dog. Sam was so quick to respond to any questions we had before our trip and made sure everything was set to go. We all highly recommend staying here! Thanks Sam!!!
Our stay was everything we expected and more. The house was fully stocked with linens, kitchen utensils, games, and so much more. We traveled with 3 adults and 2 kids under 10 and appreciated all the thoughtful extras this house provided (crib, high chair, booster seats, kid cups with lids, gate at the top stairs) as well as a fully stocked kitchen - crock pot, griddle, etc. Less than 5 minutes from Iron River but felt like the middle of nowhere, very quiet and serene. We ice-fished (and caught a few northern!) and skied Brule one day (about a 20-minute drive). I would highly recommend this cabin 10/10 as well as the host (Sam) who was super communicative through the VRBO app and made sure we had everything we needed.
We stayed for a week at this cabin on Sunset Lake with our family. There was plenty of space for us all and we really enjoyed it. Kitchen it fully stocked- no need to bring anything along but some food. Plenty of dishes, pots/pans, spices, saran wrap, foil, zip locks, etc. Plenty of cleaning products as well for dish tabs, detergent, paper towels, garbage bags, etc. We brought our boat for the week and it was nice to have the pier to dock it. Lake is absolutely beautiful and I see why the call it Sunset Lake as we saw a few amazing ones while we were there. There are 2 big deck areas on different levels that was nice to use when family or friends stopped out to visit. We cooked out on the grill several of the nights. Our kids hung out in the basement and there were 3 full drawers of boards games that they enjoyed the whole time we were there. Sam was awesome to communicate with and took care of any issues or concerns immediately. We definitely would recommend people staying there with families, friends or small group. The only downside I can say is the steep hill from the house down to the lake. It didn't bother us, in fact, I think I may have lost some weight going up and down that hill many times a day! :) However, someone with knee/hip issues may have a harder time is all. We can't wait to come back!
We loved our weekend here. Having all the kids stuff was a huge help for us. The property was beautiful and Sam was a great host and easy to get a hold of. Will definitely stay here again
Had a great stay! Area was quiet, lake had little traffic and was beautiful. Clear water and good fishing. House was perfect for us and we loved the kitchen area. We would like to go back next summer.
Three buddies and I had a great trip at Sam’s house on Sunset Lake. The lake was beautiful and fishing was good. Sam was very responsive with communication and a wonderful host. We hope to get back to his place in the future. Thanks again Sam!
Has to be one of the best lake views and peaceful settings in the country. We had 4 adults and 2 teenagers for a family holiday get together and every detail we needed was provided -- the lake view, peace and quiet, and the outside grill/ fireplace area were tops -- spent a lot of time in the evenings around the fire area. Sam, the owner was a most cordial host and responded very quickly with any questions. Great property.
