We had a nice time! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, the beds were comfy, and the hosts were very communicative. Make sure you don’t plan on buying groceries nearby though, the nearest grocery store was 40 minutes away. There are convenience stores if you need something in a pinch, but they mostly have bread and bananas and the like.

Great location and faciilities. Hosts (Eric & Lisa) were very responsive to the one issue we had with the TV/video/DVD hookup. Hot tub was perfect. Location allowed us to visit other nearby spots to hike, eat, etc. But some days we simply stayed at the cabin since everything we needed was right there.

About the host

Hosted by Knutson Property Services and Cabin Rentals

Host profile image
How our business started.. In 1994 Eric started a small "part time" lawn mowing business for extra money that would eventually turn into much more and a full time career and a family owned company. In 1998 we were asked to manage a Vacation Home and being totally truthful... we had no idea of what we were dong and how fast we would learn. After having a terrible experience Renting a Vacation Rental in Northern Wis. I knew what my future would hold in the Property Management business. It was 3 simple things. 1) Be True and Honest to your Guests, 2) Treat our Guests the way I personally would want to be treated 3) Provide 5 star "Clean" accommodations and be better then the rest! After 20 plus years, KPS has several repeat guests and so many friend ships have been made. Till this day we still hold true to our 3 step system. We hope someday you can come enjoy one of our vacation homes or cabins. We are very proud of our Vacation Properties and the business we have created.
