Perfect Stay Start to Finish

The cabin was beautiful and inviting. I really liked that the place was lit warmly with a cozy replica wood stove that was crackling away just as you walk through the front door. Great view from the deck of the lake. The beds were super comfy as well. Very enjoyable stay indeed.

Loved it

We loved our stay at Knotty Pine. It was the perfect size for our family. We love the location and the beach. My kids wanted fires and smores every night and we enjoyed coffee on the porch every morning.

Cabin was super clean and the host was very responsive. We ended up not going on Stanley Lake but my kids loved fishing at Ottawa Lake nearby. Short drive to Iron River too.

Probably the best experience we have had with vrbo or the other rental service. The owner was welcoming and even let us know of a weather event coming in on our arrival date. The cabin was immaculately clean. Simple easy check out. We fell in love with this cabin and will be our first choice on our ski brule trips.

Cozy cabin

Knotty Pine is the coziest place nestled in a group of cabins near Lake Stanley. Nancy is super nice and accomodating. She changed our stay dates with no hassle. The cabin is clean, beds are comfy, surroundings are beautiful. Another great stay!

We have stayed at Knotty Pine several times and it is very cozy, clean and welcoming. Close to skiing, nice area to walk, beautiful snowy setting. It was extremely cold and we had a near disaster experience with the water but Nancy the host responded IMMEDIATELY and all ended well. We'll be back!
