Summer Vacation

The house was clean and was everything as listed. We really enjoyed our stay. Fishing could've been better. But you cant control that. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone. Thanks

Last days of Summer get away!

The property is everything it is promised to be and more! The view is beautiful with all types of wildlife including a bald eagle nest a few houses down makes seeing them in action a reality! The home has everything covered from shampoo to games/DVDs to plug-in night lights to help you navigate at night in a home you aren't familiar with. Even the night stands have USB ports and outlets! Truly a great cabin! New furniture, comfy beds & pillows, high quality sheets and very comfortable bath towels! Fishing is fantastic as well! We were here 4 nights and the kids caught (and released) 15+ pan fish, including a near land of a big northern on bobber fishing! Really a great place that we would be blessed to stay at again! And the owner, Lia, couldn't be nicer and more attentive. I highly recommend this spot for your get away!

Serene Lakefront Paradise

This is our second stay at this property and it was once again a true "home away from home" experience. The house is clean, comfortable with all the necessary amenities and the most amazing view of Little Arbor Vitae Lake. The setting is so quiet and peaceful. There is little to no lake traffic. The most activity we saw during our stay was four fishing boats. This made kayaking and paddle boarding a dream. Last year we saw tons of wildlife: eagles, osprey, herons, otters and loons. This year there was an algae bloom on the lake and wildlife was little to none. We were told that this can happen in August and the wildlife leave in search of a lake with better visibility. The new owner was great to communicate with and quick to respond to any concerns. One nice addition to the property would be a wider dock. It does not extend at the end and there is no space to sit side by side and enjoy morning coffee or just take in the lake view without sitting single file. Lastly, I think the $300 cleaning fee is hefty and the requirement of purchasing insurance was a bit of a put off. But if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful location with the most beautiful lake view, then this is your place.

Great Lake house

The house has all the amenities needed for a home away from home. Full kitchen and laundry were great. Very clean and new furniture and flooring. Plenty of towels, laundry detergent, dish soap, coffee filters etc. Could have used a few more coffee cups and a few wine glasses to round out the kitchen ware. We enjoyed our stay and use of this lovely lake house. The lake view is beautiful, we enjoyed the wildlife of ducks, eagles, osprey and green herons. Even a deer or two at the edge of the lake. Nice quiet location and a good sized fire pit.

The Northwoods are our family retreat. The clear skies, the blue lakes, and the eagles take my breath away! Every time we drive up north, my son exclaims “It’s good to be back!” I'm excited to share our absolute love of the Northwoods with our guests!
