This house is amazing. They thought of everything! Just bring some food, clothes and a swimsuit and you’re set! The beds are very comfortable and the hosts respond to any questions in a timely fashion. The lake area has a swim pad that our grandchildren love, there are paddleboards, kayaks etc for the guests’ use. We already made a reservation for next year, which will be our third time!

Great accommodations for our whole family from across the country. May be the best VRBO we’ve ever had. Plenty of space. Beds were great. Everything is in excellent condition. Plenty of toys, boats, chairs, barbecue tools, kitchen supplies. Sauna was an unexpected bonus. Todd and Mary were easily accessible to answer any questions.

Upper Eau Claire Relaxation and Respite

Our high expectations were exceeded by the gorgeous, home, property and amenities. Todd and Mary provided everything we could have wanted and there was something for everyone in our family. We boated, kayaked, paddleboarded, swam (used the lily pad extensively), played outdoor games, sat by a beautiful blaze in the firepit, relaxed in the sauna, biked at nearby beautiful trails, golfed at a very pretty course in the area and more. The house was extremely well appointed for cooking and a wide range of family activities. Todd and Mary were very responsive to our few questions. It could not have been a better site or a more enjoyable vacation for all of us. Thanks.

Family Vacay 2025

I will say this was the most well stocked and organized VRBO that I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in a lot. They also have so many extras so if you forget anything they are probably going to have it. The quality of the soaps, lotions, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner was excellent. You can literally just pack your clothes this house has it all. We did end up with a lot of rain and colder weather but we made the best of it. The owners have truly thought of everything. I would definitely rent again.

North woods lake trip

Our family vacation at this lake house was fantastic. The home is beautiful and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need/want. I recommend renting a boat from Bear Country Rentals. They dropped off and picked up the boat directly at the home’s dock. You won’t be disappointed renting this gorgeous home!

Beautiful Lake Home in North Woods

We loved our stay at Sunsets and Solitude on Upper Eau Claire lake. We were sad that there wasn’t much snow, so no skiing, but lots of hikes, games, and laughs. This home was beautiful and we really enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and the view out the windows toward the lake. Kitchen was well stocked, house was very clean, and beds were comfortable. Plenty of room for our group to spread out. We would stay here again!

Absolutely perfect cabin

We had an absolutely wonderful week at the cabin. There was nothing that Todd and Mary didn’t think of or have available. It is by far the best vacation rental we have experienced. We commented daily on how clean and well stocked this cabin was for visitors. From the charging cords next to the beds to the wide array of water toys everything was perfect for our large group. Thank you for a wonderful week of family memories!

Thanks for a great weekend!

Phenomenal property - just as described. Todd and Mary were awesome communicators and provided many amenities that you don't normally get in a rental - we had kind of cold and rainy weather so didn't get to use a bunch of the lake toys, but we loved the gathering spaces to play games, and good size yard for bags and yard games in between the rainfalls. Oh and the views are amazing - really beautiful property.

Three Generation Reunion

We had a small family reunion at this location. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. There were plenty of showers and towels for us all to get ready to go. We especially enjoyed kayaking the lake with the resident eagles and loons. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with dishes, and cooking equipment. Fun was had by all. We talked about returning again next year!

Family Wedding

The rental property is AMAZING! All the amenities are provided…down to bandaids. We were here for a family wedding so we were not able to enjoy the outside property but the lakeshore is beautiful and fire pit looks so fun! My kids loved the ping pong table in the basement! Would love to come back again and just relax, enjoy the deck, kayak and breath the northern WI air! Loved this place! Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Beautiful Property

Our 3 generation family of 10 had a wonderful experience at this fantastic property on Upper Eau Claire Lake. The space was very comfortable, with many thoughtful touches, such as children’s dishes, table and chairs. The furnished deck, screen porch and fire pit area, as well as the Lilypad and kayaks were a huge hit. We were lucky to have beautiful weather while we were there, but decided that even if we had been unable to be outside, there would have been plenty of great space for us inside. Thank-you Todd and Mary for being such wonderful and communicative hosts! We would love to return!

Why they chose this property

Mary and I bought this property to create a gathering place for our kids and grandkids to savor the beauty of northern Wisconsin and make family memories. We instantly fell in love with the setting, view and clear spring fed lake. There were 5 loons just off the end of the dock the afternoon we first saw the property. The cabin was strikingly beautiful. Beyond what we had imagined. Grand two story great room with a dramatic stone wood burning fireplace. perfectly appointed kitchen with top of the line appliances. The enormous gathering space for friends and family was exactly what we wanted.

The bedroom layout offered the perfect sense of connectedness yet separate space. The main primary bedroom is on the main floor and features a wall of west facing sliding doors to the deck and a private 3/4 bath with huge walk-in shower. Two generously sized bedrooms upstairs with their own 3/4 bath. The lower level offers 2 more large bedrooms and another 3/4 bath.

The living space provides amazing opportunities for being together yet offers separate quiet space to get away. The second floor loft is a quiet nook for reading. The basement has a large family room with a stone gas fireplace and large screen TV. This has become a great space for late night movies and rainy days. This room walks out to a stone patio overlooking the lake. Our favorite spot is the screen porch just off the great room. The porch is vaulted and screened on three sides. It has been a spectacular place for our family to gather for meals. Wether the dewey smell of morning air or the warm evening breeze the screen porch has been a place that we linger from first light to long after the sun has set. The large deck is the other special place for our family. large enough for our entire gang.

This cabin was way beyond what we had dreamt of when we set out to find a family gathering place. It was very soon after we purchased this home that we decided to share it with others. We hope you enjoy as well.
