Mark was great to work with. The cabin had everything we needed and was the perfect spot to take our pups on their first trip. The lake was peaceful and even though we didn’t get to take advantage of it, would be perfect to paddle around. We enjoyed some hiking at nearby state parks.

Amazing Getaway for Labor Day

This cute cabin has everything for a relaxing weekend! We had great times sitting around the fire, using the row boat, backyard games, and grilled a lot of food! Very clean and excellent communication from the owners! We even golfed at Northern Bay. I would definitely recommend for a peaceful and relaxing weekend!!

Nice getaway

The property was nice with lots of things to do outside due to the owners who supplied boats and fishing gear. The lake was full of weeds so we did not swim. The inside was the right size for 4 people, not sure how more would fit to sit and enjoy each other’s company. Plenty of seating outside.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Jul, 2020
Hi Debbie, I am so glad you were able to enjoy our boats and fishing gear and it sounds like our cabin was the perfect size for your party of 4. We do try to provide detailed photos so that larger groups understand the layout. The lake has has been a bit low this year which makes it seem weedier than usual but luckily the water quality is pristine and it's only the native weeds and lily pads common to healthy wisconsin lakes. We usually paddle down to the sand bar area for swimming when it's too weedy at the shoreline. Thanks for your feedback!

Amenities provided should state only 4 rolls of toilet paper. Outside area had not been swept in weeks; found wolf spiders in the cornhole boards. No railings around back deck. Railings by firepit were so inadequate; while sitting in a chair a person could still fall onto the rock/granite/marble slope.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Sept, 2025
Hi Jeanne! Thank you for your feedback. I did offer to reimburse you for whatever toilet paper you needed to purchase in addition to the 4 rolls we provided for your 2 night stay. Unfortunately, we have no control over insects outside or the shedding of the trees as the property is very heavily wooded and while we do treat the indoor areas, we like to keep the outdoors as natural as possible. Our property is inspected yearly and meets all safety inspections. The outdoor deck is a platform that lays flat to the ground, so does not require a railing. The railing around the fire pit is for decorative purposes only and is not meant to protect you from falling down the slope to the water which is not only gradual but also piled heavily with large granite boulders so if you were somehow able to find yourself stumbling into them, you would have to stand up and continue to hurl yourself over them over and over again to get to the bottom. That would be quite a feat! Haha. I’m sorry that our property was not a good fit to fit for you. All the best to you!

Home away from home.

Extra detail given to the comfort from bedrooms to decor. Kitchen well appointed. The Mrs. more than happy with having a washer and dryer. The views very scenic! The beach is very clean and fishing was fun. Liked the blinds on the windows. Quite a lot of activities provided games cane poles and more. Our hosts replied FAST to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again, resort quality! Loved it.

Wonderful weekend

The check in was smooth, while we did not meet the owners they were clear about being available if needed. The property setting has a very secluded feel to it and wonderful lake access, we used all the boats and other amenities and enjoyed them but none so much as the nice chairs around the fire pit where we had our coffee in the morning and read books in the afternoon and watched the sunset in the evening, I want that space, yes it was that nice. The cabin us fully appointed and we lacked for nothing, when they say bring your food and clothing, that is truly all you need. We loved our 3 day stay, wished it were longer and reccomend it to others

Amazing experience!

A true gem of a stay! From a very secluded area surrounded by trees to an amazing sand area for our daughter to play, to the beautiful lake and included boats this was such a great stay! We took our daughter and we loved every minute of it! Even though it rained and was cooler we were able to play games inside and enjoy the patio and firepit area! We loved the boats and beach area when it was sunny! Close enough to Friendship and Adams there was food and groceries as we needed! The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. Thank you so much! We would definitely recommend this is anyone!

Nice getaway

We visited for a nice lake house stay, combined with a college visit to UWSP. The cabin was clean, tastefully rustic. Our teen daughter enjoyed fishing and catching minnows and crayfish. This would have been an ideal spot to bring the kids when they were younger to play in the sand and water! All in all it met our expectations, and owner is responsive. The only thing I needed was a cookie sheet, but we improvised and it was fine. We will probably stay at the cabin closer to Stevens Point next visit :)

Rural retreat

The cabin is in a lovely location, but disappointing for the price. The inside was quaint and clean, but the outside furniture and deck were too dirty to use. The boats available for an additional cost were old and unappealing. The host has many cameras on the outside. The property on the outside looks neglected. The host encourages guests to write a five star review and I believe 5 stars are not warranted.

Hi Wendy As soon as you notified us of the kayak with the missing seat back we offered the keys to the shed and use of our personal paddleboard (also the seat back was in there!) We have NO cameras anywhere but at the front entrance facing the driveway so Im not sure why you are saying that. The note on the refrigerator only asks that you reach out to us if you have any problems so that we may have a chance to fix it right away. This is our commitment to making sure guests enjoy their time at our cabin. Im sorry our property was not the right fit for you.

Perfect Family Cabin, Full of Thoughtful Details <3

We stayed here for a couple of nights with our 3 children. The beach was absolutely amazing. There were beautiful yellow irises skimming the water and at sunset it looked like a movie set :) We can see that the owners / builders put so much heart and thought into every little detail. There are swings, toys, books, games, free Netflix and Hulu, and all the fun boats we could ask for! There are quirky decorations outside, like home-made birdhouses and boat planters. The property is very large. There were lots of blankets and towels. They have a really neat heating system, where you can control the temperature in each room. There were several nearby options for picking up toiletries and groceries. We liked our trip to Friendship for the parks and Dollar General! We really enjoyed ourselves. The owners were very kind, accommodating, and friendly. Thank you :)
