Clean, quiet, and up to date property with quick access to the main lake. We stayed here for our annual fishing trip and had a great time. Perfect place for a group of friends or family to spend some time in the Northwoods.

Relaxing Weekend

We had a great time during our stay at Whiskey Rapids. The house is well-equipped inside and out and has plenty of space. Between taking the canoe out on the lake, fishing off the pier, sitting around the fire at night and simply enjoying the beautiful scenery, we couldn't have asked for more in our stay. We will certainly come back for another stay!

FANTASTIC ACCOMMODATIONS!!

Great host and house, beautiful water and surroundings, quiet neighborhood. Keep in mind this is a flowage so there is great fishing and areas for waterworks, but there are stumps and rocks. The bait shop and Darryl can help guide safe passage from the launch. LOVED every bit of the property, especially the nighttime fires overlooking the water. 5 stars all the way!!

Beautiful home with plenty of extras.

The property owners were very responsive to our questions. The weather was not perfect but the house and surroundings were! The only downfall is that there are 40 stairs (yes I counted them) to get to the water which may be a problem for older people. Thanks to all the people that are willing to share their homes so people like us can enjoy them for a family vacation.

A Slice of Heaven

We had an amazing time staying at this cabin!! The pictures online are beautiful, but do not do the cabin justice. It was wonderful and more than we hoped. It was very clean and roomy. Plenty of room for our family. The lake was so beautiful and a great lakefor fishing. Laura and Darryl were an awesome couple to rent from. They answered all questions and made sure that they provided all we would need. I cannot recommend this cabin enough!! Thank you for providing such a beautiful home for us to create many Up North memories in!!!

Wonderful vacation rental!!!

This cabin is beautiful! Everything was super clean and ready for guests. We loved that it had a "mudroom" to keep all of our outdoor stuff: fishing gear, rafts, shoes, life jackets, etc. It had enough room for all eight of us to be comfortable. We had fun boating the "chain" of lakes - fishing, relaxing and seeing the amazing wildlife. We saw several Bald Eagles, loons, ducks and the best part - a deer swimming across the narrow section of the lake. Owners were quick to respond to any questions or concerns and it was obvious they put a lot of effort into providing a high quality vacation rental for families. Highly recommend!

Quiet and Relaxing Stay

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Whiskey Rapids. The property was exactly as advertised with no surprises. Communication with any questions we had was excellent and answered quickly. The house is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac overlooking the mouth of the Somo river with quick and easy access to the main lake. Some areas can be tricky to navigate near the cabin due to the submerged trees. However, Darryl and Laura provided a map with a safe access route which helped tremendously. It is a very quiet and peaceful area with great fishing to be had. Out of the main part of town, but still close enough to make a quick run into town if needed. I would highly recommend this property. It is definitely one of the nicer VRBO's I have stayed in throughout the years. You won't be disappointed.

Whiskey Rapids summer vacation

This was a beautiful home we enjoyed for our summer vacation in Wisconsin. The house had ample space to accommodate our two children, my husband and myself, and my mother and father in law. We actually didn't even use the basement because the kids slept in the loft. The house was clean and well decorated. Daryl and Laura thought of everything! We fished off the dock and brought a boat. Laura and Daryl provided us with a map to negotiate the waters in the area. We had fires in the firepit in the evenings, which was so relaxing. We took the kids tubing in the area and they had fun swinging off the rope swing on the island across from the house. We played on the paddleboard, which is harder than it looks. While the boys went fishing, the girls went shopping. There were plenty of shops to explore in Tomahawk. Overall, it was a wonderful vacation, and we plan to go back.

This place is phenomenal! We were so glad that we chose this beautiful lake home. It was spacious enough that the 6 of us had our own spaces, but could come together in the large living room and kitchen. We loved sitting around the fire pit listening to the frogs, and fishing off the dock and pontoon. The kayaks and paddle boards were great to search along the interesting little islands on the lake. There were so many things provided at the house, and the little touches from the hosts were greatly appreciated! And the hosts themselves were so wonderful! They made everything from booking, to pontoon rental, to checkin/checkout so easy! Please book this wonderful home, you will be so glad you did!

Hidden Gem

My family really enjoyed this property. The Mohawksin lake and surrounding area was definitely something most people don't get around to checking out. And that's a shame. As the locals know, this is a great area with much to offer. The water is cleaner than many of the Eagle River area lakes. Swimming was fantastic! We enjoyed the little cove near Bradley Park - a great place to hike among the tall, serene old pine trees. There is a huge rec area also for skiing and tubing. There are two bar/restaurants to stop off the water. The Somo flowage area - to which this property is at the entrance - is a beautiful little canoeing area and well worth checking out. The place is great - you can fit three separate families, one on each floor. There are 3 full bathrooms, 2 on main floor and one in basement. One full family with kids could go on 2nd floor, and one full family with kids in basement with the game/media room. One couple in the master BR on first floor. Only VERY minor complaint is that there could be one more comfortable chair to sit on in the living room. The other comment is, be careful on the lakes - there are some areas that you need to understand well before boating around - read the supplied materials and warnings. Once you know the things to avoid, it's clear sailing. We had a great time - you will too!

We were going to Tomahawk for the fall ride and looking for 8 people. Hard to find without breaking the bank. This was reasonable for us with a scenic drive back off the main drag. The view was incredible overlooking the lake. All the amenities were better than the pics. Property manager was in contact with me and available anytime if we had a question.
