We were a party of 8 consisting of 4 grandparents, my brother-in-law, my husband, my 10 year old daughter and myself. My mom said that she could tell that the owners actually use the cabin because of the little things (night lights, kitchen utensils, etc.).
My husband, child and I spent a lot of time in the kayaks and on the paddle board. We rented a 3rd kayak from Jack’s in Trego so that the three of us could paddle as a family. We also brought our canoe for longer paddles. The grandmas even paddled to the island with us! We visited the island twice exploring both ends. We paddled to Birch and Robinson Lakes. Paddling under the bridge and exploring between lakes was fun. We also canoed to Smith and Shunenberg Lakes. The smaller lakes are an adventure!
We used the pontoon and fishing boats. It was nice to explore the lake with a motor! The boat covers were a little tricky to maneuver but we managed and got better at it. Ann was very accommodating when I shared my concerns and mentioned they are working on a different system. The grandparents explored coves for fishing. They also golfed in Hayward and said it was the most beautiful course they’ve ever golfed. We drove to the lock and dam between Lower and Middle Eau Claire Lakes. We raised and lower the water in the manual lock. Grandparents went fishing there too. We did some biking and found some very scenic loops. We took a day trip to Duluth. Eating and Grandma’s, touring the Maritime Museum and exploring Canal Park is always a fun time. On one rainy afternoon we visited the shops in Hayward.
There are great views from the entire cabin and the deck is amazing. The cabin was stocked with all of the essentials and was clean and inviting when we arrived. Access to the cabin, garage and boat keys was easy and well planned. The large dining room table was perfect for a game of Monopoly (supplied, as well as other games). Evening baseball games were regularly on the tv. The wifi worked great. My daughter brought Just Dance for the Wii (other Wii games are supplied) and we boogied in the downstairs. Even the downstairs living room has great views!
During the drive home I asked my husband if there was anything different than he expected from the listing. We both agreed that the cabin was as anticipated and even better.
Communication with Ann before and during our stay was quick and helpful. We hope to stay at Loon Landing Cabin again in the near future!
