An excellent place for the price. My only critiques would be comfortable mattresses with a slightly higher rental rate and access to an extension cord for the boat.

Thank you Justin ~ it was great hosting you! We have always had an extension cord at the fish hut, but the last guest must have inadvertently mixed it up with their belongings ... it has since been replaced. We appreciate you letting us know!

Good experience. Only negative is it is close to the road so it is noisy sometimes. If your boat is tall there may be an issue getting under the bridge to access the lake.

We're glad to hear you had a good experience overall. Some road noise can occur at times. As for the bridge, we've never had an issue with boats, including larger pontoons, clearing it to access the lake. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and would welcome you back anytime!

Once a year a friend and I take a week off anywhere from July to September and invite a group of friends and we end up with different people joining us throughout the week.We are 55 years old and just want to kayak and canoe, swim, enjoy and evening fire, wood provided, and have AC when needed. Sticks for marshmallows! A outside water hose which is nice with fire pit.The location is great for boating and swimming, room for multiple cars, sleeps 7 and 2 bathrooms needed with a group.Musky Tale bar is less than one block and fun great staff! We all bought matching sweatshirts from Musky Tale!. So fun!Host is nice and communicated via text.I will rent this place again!

Cozy cabin on Chippewa Flowage

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin was well stocked, very clean and communication with the host was excellent. Check in and out was easy. Located right on the flowage we were able to use the dock for kayaking and SUP. The provided pictures match the cabin. If we are in the area again we would definitely book again.

Great place on the Chippewa Flowage

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was as expected - clean and well furnished. The kitchen was all we needed (they have a pizza oven which the kids liked). The recently purchased two fishing kayaks which got a lot of use around the islands just up river from the dock. It's a large lake area and took us a few days to figure out the fishing - but we caught enough for two meals and enjoyed our time. Great firepit and outdoor space.

Overall good

Overall, it was a clean nice place. My main downfall was the washer and dryer could not be used, except to wash the property towels for our re-use. We could not wash our own clothes there due to the yellow water. It still was a convenience to at least be able to re-wash the property towels for continued usage. It was a peaceful place. There was some traffic, but that traffic wasn’t continuous and didn’t bother us much at all. Price seemed a bit high after extra costs; however, as long as we get our cleaning fee/deposit back, it’s fair. There was plenty of space and we appreciate we were able to bring our small Pomeranian. Overall, we’re satisfied and would stay there again. Thank you. We appreciate the conveniences and great communication.

Disconnect in the Northwoods

Jen was a great host. The property was even nicer in person. It is right on the main highway, so expect a little traffic, but don’t let that stop you. The house was very clean and had several amenities such as laundry, kayaks, Wi-Fi, canoe, and fire pit. One of the owners even stopped by to make sure we had enough fire wood. It’s located minutes from some great restaurants as well. Highly recommend.

Great Getaway on the Flowage

This cabin was the perfect location for our long weekend getaway. It's a short trip up the river to the Chippewa Flowage, but we actually caught most of our fish right off the dock. The cabin is very clean, very comfortable. There are lots of lodges, restaurants and bait shops nearby. You can walk right across the street for a drink and dinner if you don't want to cook. The cabin sits very close to the highway which initially caught us a bit off guard, but it didn't end up being an issue for us. Jen was great. She was extremely responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a great trip!
