Wonderful short stay

My family and I enjoyed our short stay. House is steps away from lake. We loved the big windows facing the lake and the location of the house in its secluded area. Chuck and Susan were wonderful hosts! We’d definitely stay again!

Relaxing

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed for a long weekend escape. It was a convenient place to use as a home base while going to antique stores and leaf peeping in the surrounding areas. Chuck and Susie were incredibly thoughtful without being intrusive. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great week at the lake

We enjoyed our week at Lake Poskin. We loved having a great view of lake from inside house, deck. Plenty of space to spread out in cabin, lots of extras in kitchen. Appreciated the spacious yard for games, basketball hoop in driveway. Easy communication with owners. Loved being able to rent pontoon and kayaks etc. Easy access to stores, bars/restaurants. Lake was quiet most of the week. Would definitely rent again!

Wonderful Hosts, House, & Location

Susan, Chuck, and family are amazing! The location is wonderful, and having lake level yard access was nice. The house has everything anyone could want, and it was clean and in great shape. The location was peaceful with many local attractions/activities if one felt like venturing out. Lake Poskin is a quiet lake, good for fishing, but big enough for boating activities, too. Best of all was the hospitality and communications with Susan and Chuck (and boys.)

Relaxing Weekend

Fall colors were beautiful as we sat on the dock and fished between rain showers. Rain didn’t ruin our quick family getaway as there was plenty to do inside. Cabin is roomy and has a beautiful view. We played games as a family and enjoyed just being together. It is an older home and smelled slightly musty/damp but it was clean. The only downfall for our creature comfort is the shower was very small and the bath tub was difficult to get in and out of. Overall it was a good place to stay.

Family

We wanted to visit with our oldest daughter who lives in Northern Wisconsin. This lake home was perfect!!! My husband and daughter fished everyday and caught several but the giant catfish was the highlight!! The property was beautiful and the home was so comfortable and had everything we needed. Everything from s’mores by the fire pit, to the family of deer that came to visit, the hummingbirds in the flowers, to our dogs roaming and chasing bunnies was amazing!! Susan and Chuck our hosts were very thoughtful and kind, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome…… we will be back!!!!

Amazing Property - Fishing a must

This is an amazing property with everything you could want from a week/weekend/ or even a couple days at the lake. There is multiple spots to catch a fish. There is a small pond that is packed with good Northern Pike. On top of that, connection to the lake with own private dock. We caught Northern, Bass, Perch, Bluegill all from the lake. The beds are super comfortable with a big jacuzzi tub for some nice relaxing times. The owners are nearby and are willing to help with anything you would need. If you need anything, Riceville is within 15 minutes of the place. I would highly recommend this place and we are favoriting this place for future visits! Thank you so much Carr family!

Northwoods Lake Camp

We had an amazing stay at the Northwoods Lake retreat, with no regrets and we hope to visit again. We were 3 Adults and 2 dogs, and had ample room for relaxation and adventure. The home is fully equipped. We cooked almost all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen, and found ourselves lacking nothing at all. We were lucky enough to rent the pontoon boat for the week and enjoyed evening sunset cruises, as well as leisurely jaunts throughout the day. This is a fantastic place and you could make the trip whatever you desire with all that's available to you here. Best of all, are the owners. The family are local residents and extremely familiar with the area. They gave wonderful advice for further activities, and were fantastic with their communication. They were so wonderful that we really didn't want to leave. If you enjoy your morning coffee on the pier, or even from the kitchen table with a view of humming birds flitting neat the morning glory - this place is for you.

A wonderful week away

This was such a slice of heaven! The house was perfect for our family of 4, grandma, and dogs. The lake was small but perfect for swimming and lazy pontoon and kayak rides. The yard was private, but close enough to the owners in case anything came up. The owners were friendly and had great suggestions of places to go & things to do. A huge bonus for our daughters was the doe and her 3 babies which visited the property multiple times during our stay. We would definitely recommend!

This home was an awesome place for our family. Us, our two adult sons, our daughter in law and two kids under two. And two dogs! Beautiful lake view. Wonderful sunsets. Fully equipped, spacious house and yard for all of us to enjoy. Caught some Northern, bass and crappies but mostly enjoyed kayaks and pontoon rides. Chuck and Susie are awesome hosts. Living nearby they are available with any questions and needs. You can have a wonderful week at this home on Lake Poskin.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Carr

We have been sharing the lake home we were blessed with, as we do not have the time to enjoy it right now! We have had many of the same families come back year after year for the past decade! We enjoy telling about you about the local attractions, and having you relax and have the best vacation possible! Come stay and play....at our Northwoods Retreat!

Why they chose this property

The lake home you can vacation at has a nice level lot, with a view of the lake from every window! The sunsets are incredible, and it is a very quiet and peaceful lake...come and enjoy this beautiful property!

What makes this property unique

There is a 'no-wake law' in effect from 6 PM until 10 AM, making this the perfect lake for people who like a lot of action during the day, yet who like to fish and enjoy the quiet too!
