Beautiful quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. We didn’t leave once - just enjoyed boating, swimming, campfires, games, and the beautiful surroundings. My brother-in-law was easily able to work from the cabin - wifi was great. Thanks Gregg!

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We had everything we needed for our stay. We also rented the Loon’s Nest (sleeping quarters above the garage) which made the setup nice and spacious for our three unit group (me/my husband/son, my sister/2 kids, and the grandparents).The cabin feels secluded but is an easy drive to the state park, Ashland, and up to Bayfield. There were lots of deer on the drive on gravel roads into the cabin. The area is stunning with lots to see and appreciate.Having the kayaks available to use was fantastic. Easily our son’s favorite part of the stay!

The property on English Lake has been in our family since 1972 and after debate we decided to demolish the old family cabin and build our new custom log home. We enjoy sharing the property with responsible indviduals and families that enjoy a backwoods retreat.

We personally enjoy Snowmobiling , ATV rides, hunting, fishing and regular trips out to the many northwoods establishments in the area. Great people and great fun.

We look forward to hearing from you and don't forget to sign the guest book before you leave.
