Cabin on the Lake Getaway

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for and view was perfect. We enjoyed sitting by the water and watching our dog Rosie swim. Perfect getaway and we would return for sure. Our host was quick to respond to my questions. Quaint, quiet and gorgeous view!!!

Clean cabin

It was a perfect size for our family. Very clean for a quaint older cabin. If you are looking for that cabin up north feel, this is perfect. The pier was nice and the pontoon was a great option so we did not have to bring our boat. I would recommend.

Another Great Stay

We went back for our second summer and loved it just as much - beautiful water, lots of amenities, comfy beds, and a convenient location. We highly recommended kayaking the upper chain and then coming back to swim and grill by the lake. Perfect.

It was a very nice place to spend the weekend. We will have to come back with a larger group since it accomodates so many people. The scenery was beautiful with the changing colors of autumn.

Relaxing stay

This was our second stay at this cabin and we enjoyed it just as much, if not more, than the first. We had perfectly hot weather for lazy days floating in the lake. I really like that this lake has non-waterski hours. It’s fun to watch all the people take to the water, swim out to the shallow area or hop on their paddle boards. Would definitely stay again!

Tough to beat this property

We loved our stay! The separate bunkhouse was so nice for our kids (we have 5), the water was absolutely beautiful, the neighborhood was very quiet, and the cabin was super clean. We especially loved the gentle slope to the lake and the fact that we could see the kids swimming and everyone fishing right from the cabin. I've searched a lot of properties, and this one checks all the boxes!

Great Get-a-way!

My wife, our dog Lenny, and myself just needed a time to kick back on the lake. This get-a-way was perfect. Quiet, great sunsets, lake was perfect, even though it was mid September….the swimming was awesome! The bunkhouse for a few movies nights was fantastic. For us and what we needed, this was perfect!

A busy and enjoyable stay!

Although the cabin was small, there were so many amenities that you never noticed. The bunk house and the outside tented dining area offered a choice of places to congregate, along with all the outside options for fun in the sun! The kids kept busy with the paddle boards and paddle boat, along with our daily pontoon boat ride and fire pit burn.

Over all the stay was nice and relaxing. No issues. It could have been Cleaner, the fridge had build up in the bottom left corner and draw. The host was friendly and was available when needed. Nice location close to stores. The tv in the garage was big which was nice for watching the game.

About the host

Hosted by Caitlin Meighan

We welcome you to our little slice of paradise! Growing up on the lakes has had a profound impact on us. We have profound respect we have for the beauty of Wisconsin's clear freshwater lakes. Now we are able to share it with you! It's all about making memories that will last.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this cottage the moment we saw it. The frontage is second to none with so many perks! Being only steps from the lake, the hard sandy bottom, the crystal clear water are a few things that we love.
