Perfect Vacation

We had a fabulous week! The house was gorgeous and spotless. There was plenty of room for our family of 12 - grandparents, kids, and grandkids. The deck and yard were ideal for grilling, hanging out and relaxing, roasting marshmallows, and playing Frisbee or corn hole. They supplied anything you could want or need. Plus, it's in a great location. We plan to return next year!

The Lake House on the Flowage is ideal for a fun summer family gathering. You can see the lake in the morning sunshine from the kitchen or deck with a cup of coffee & in the evening while you are roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. The dock was easy to use with a motor boat & pontoon. Appreciated the use of the kayaks, too. The house was fitted with everything we needed. Would definitely go back to the Lake House on the Flowage. Thank you!

Beautiful Home

This is a beautiful 5 bedroom home with every thing you need in it. The kitchen is awesome. The would deck is wonderful to sit out on if the mosquitoes don’t get to bad. The kids had lots of space to run around. We rented a pontoon boat . So with our pontoon boat and the owners pontoon boat and jet skis tied up it left just the front of the pier for the kids to swim but they did and had fun. Thank you !

Summer Memories

My sister and her family have a lake tradition every summer. We chose this home for my family’s first lake experience with my sister and it was so perfect! Beautiful views, relaxing lake, beautiful home with a great kitchen and common space. We LOVED the hammock and swing(every lake house has to have one for morning coffee and afternoon books) along with the fire pit for s’mores. The host was great! Responsive, thoughtful - all very well done. Thanks for the great 2022 summer memory.

Winter weekend

The property was so comfortable, beautiful view and had many extra bells and whistles. Very easy to get to and a great location to bring snowmobiles in the winter. The owners were receptive and had many things written down to explain details. We enjoyed our stay!

Great Escape to the Northwoods

This weekend rental experience was absolutely fantastic. The cabin is absolutely beautiful. It is the perfect mix of Northwoods charm and modern conveniences. It was spacious and a perfect getaway for 5 couples on a snowmobile trip for Valentines Weekend. Our favorite parts of the home were the spacious main area for sitting together and chatting. Waking up to the beautiful sunshine while drinking coffee overlooking the lake. The bedrooms were spacious and the pillows were awesome. We appreciated the in floor heat in the bathrooms and the heated seat toilets after a long cold day of riding the snowmobile trails. The communication and home directions were excellent. Thank you for being great hosts!

Fabulous Property in Perfect Location

This home was absolutely perfect for our group of friends! Extremely well appointed with every detail thought out and attended to from a welcome basket to the most comfortable beds ever. This newly remodeled home located on the Chippewa Flowage was a perfect place to wind down after snowmobiling each day. The kitchen is fabulous and the heated bathroom flooring is a real treat coming in from the cold. This home offers room to spread out, a great view of the lake , starry night skies and even darts and chess/checkers table. The location is close to three resorts if you prefer not to cook as well! Our hosts were wonderful to communicate with prior to and after our stay.

An exquisite cabin escape

I hesitate to write this review, only because we want to keep the secret of this gorgeous home to ourselves! We (four adults and two dogs) booked a last minute trip to Hayward to celebrate the New Year. From the first inquiry we sent to Shelley, she was prompt and gracious in her responses to us and helped us figure out the details of our trip. When we arrived to the property, we were blown away. The pictures on the listing are great, but I'm not sure you can do this space justice through photos. The home was exceptionally clean and so much bigger than we expected! We didn't even use the downstairs space at all given how much room was on the main floor. The decor throughout was beautiful and the heated bathroom floors were a luxury! The view of the lake was breathtaking in the winter, so I can't imagine what it's like in the summer. Even though we could see steady snowmobile traffic out on the ice, we couldn't hear them. The major grocery store "in town" is about a 25-30 minute drive, but we were able to plan accordingly so we didn't have to make any unnecessary trips in (mainly because it was negative temperatures - the town is great!). There was a dog bed, dog towels, dog toys and bowls so our pups settled right in. Overall, this is not a rental to be missed - be sure to book before every date is snagged in 2022 and beyond!
