Thank you for staying with us again and for the kind words. You're right that while there's no launch on-site, being surrounded by all those lakes makes for plenty of options nearby. It means a lot that you've chosen this spot twice now, and we can't wait to welcome you back for that third stay. The VueStay Team

Photos on Vrbo looked great, the reality was disappointing. Everything was worn.Inside was dark.Zero curb appeal. Some debris on the property.Outside deck and furniture were dirty. You would not want to swim in the lake.The positive were the quiet, the woods,The washer/dryer.Would not go back.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry that the condition of the property fell short of what you expected. The Northwoods was hit by some storms that caused a lot of debris outside. We're glad the quiet setting, the surrounding woods, and the washer and dryer were bright spots for you. We appreciate you letting us know where things missed the mark, and we're taking it seriously. The VueStay Team

Loved the location and layout of the yard and home. Brought our dog and he loved watching the wildlife when relaxing. We were close to all activities and downtown without realizing how busy town was. Beautiful place will hopefully book again in the future.

Fishing trip.

This property is nicely decorated in Northwoods. It is roomy, and has an amazing screen porch that looks out on the lake. Ceiling fans help move the air on hot days. It is well stocked for a wonderful vacation! We caught lots of fish off the dock and in area lakes. Loved this property and will be back!

The home was clean, very delighted with the decor. The screened porch was the best. Sitting in the morning drinking coffee and listening to the sounds of Mother Nature was extremely relaxing.

Fishing trip

We loved this property! It is nicely decorated, well stocked, and roomy. We were there during an unusual heat advisory, so it got very hot! So happy for all the ceiling fans and the extra box fans provided!! We spent lots of time on the screened porch which was wonderful! Caught lots of fish and had a great vacation!

A Little Slice of Heaven

Tucked away in the northwoods is this little slice of heaven, perfect for a getaway from the busyness of everyday life. Beautiful property, cabin was immaculate! Fishing was great. Plenty of wildlife, including bears, fawns and so many eagles. Definitely recommend. Easy booking and excellent communication. Hope to return in the fall!

North Woods

House was clean and ready early for us. The kitchen is well stocked to cook and has new appliances. We used the provided kayaks & they were wonderful. Although a bit off the beaten path and mostly quiet please know there is a small airfield directly East of the property. Sunday was pretty loud with small personal aircraft, the runway take off goes over the house it appears. We had an issue with some windows not opening (which is kind of a big deal as there is no central air) Vacasa was extremely responsive & came out to remedy the situation within one day. Overall great place!

Hi Johanna, we're so pleased that you were able to check in early and make the most of our well-appointed home. We're truly sorry about the inconvenience with the windows, and we're glad we could address it while you were here. We're looking forward to welcoming you back again soon!

Getaway with adult granddaughters

The home is lovely, nestled in a large wooded lot with a bit of a view of Sumach Lake. It is decorated very well, homey and very clean. The deck and large screened porch are great assets to the home. Everything you need is provided in this home. Even a trunk of games and puzzles! There is a great outdoor fire ring with Adirondack chairs. Lots of outdoor seating areas are provided, too. The attached garage has been converted to a family room and second bathroom. WiFi is spotty. The only drawback is that the house is hard to cool down on warm evenings. Ceiling fans are very helpful but most of the windows don’t open for cross ventilation in the bedrooms. We still had a very good time during our stay and were very comfortable in our vacation home.

Would not stay here again. We knew there was no AC when we rented it, but didn’t know that we wouldn’t be able to open bedroom and bathroom windows. There were ceiling fans which were inadequate for the hot, humid weather. The bedrooms became stifling and all family members had to leave their bedroom doors open to get some air from the living room windows, which were the only ones that opened in the whole place. The exterior and exterior furnishings were kind of dirty with an air of neglect. The check-in was smooth. Kitchen was adequate. Only 2 dishwasher pods supplied Needed at least 4 for our stay. Beds were ok. Inside was clean, but dated. Lack of operable windows a big problem. You’d think the owner would at least replace the decrepit BR and bathroom windows
