Great cabin

My husband and I took our 4 kids to Wisconsin for a weekend getaway. The weather wasn’t ideal but the cabin was great. It was big and spacious and the kids loved playing foosball and pool. The water frontage was great; however, it was too chilly to enjoy it. The place was clean and spacious and we all really enjoyed it. The area was quiet too. The place looks like it would be perfect in the summer.

Good Outweighed Bad

The home and property are beautiful. It suited our family of 15 perfectly. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and boating in the clear water. The view from the wrap around deck was so beautiful, and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The living spaces were so roomy, and we had no problem being all together or separating if we wanted. Upon arriving, we could not access the home with the coded lock. A door had been left open on the deck so we got in. Leaving was the same as we could not get the door to lock. Luckily, the cleaning crew showed up. Also no direction were given on how sliding patio doors locked and unlocked. It would have been nice to have ice made in the freezer as it took awhile to make some (none in ice trays either) Overall, we had a great time, but sometimes it's the annoying little things that keep a review from being great.

Family Vacation

Property was spacious enough for our whole family. We enjoyed the whole Up North feel from the log cabin to the wonderful outdoor property. Very peaceful spot on a beautiful lake. Were able to rent a pontoon boat at a nearby marina.

Park-like setting

The property is like your own private park with outstanding views. Great deck seating up and downstairs, and the fire pit warmed us nightly. Indoors has everything, with a GREAT fireplace upstairs. Fully equipped kitchen.

Beautiful log cabin home

What a beautiful lakeside log cabin home! An easy 10 minute drive to Eagle River with an immediate easy access to Catfish Lake, we enjoyed the convenience of our place while we golfed, kayaked and dined in the area. The place was impeccably clean (no small feat given the contours and surface area of a log cabin design), spacious and impressively furnished. The furniture in the large living spaces was exceptional, with plenty of seating for a large group. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Bathrooms had plenty of towels. While we were a small group of two couples, we were all impressed with the design and comfort of this grand home. A large group would absolutely appreciate a stay here. I highly recommend this vacation home.

Good Outweighed Bad

The home and property are beautiful. It suited our family of 15 perfectly. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and boating in the clear water. The beach area had not been cleaned up or raked, however. The view from the wrap around deck was so beautiful and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The living spaces were so roomy and we had no problem being all together or had plenty of space to separate. Much improvement is needed on being specific about what was provided. With 15 people, we ran out of toilet paper, garbage bags, and dish soap. There were lots of trash bins but no direction on which ones to use or anything about recycling. There was only one small AC to cool the main level, one for the lower area, and one portable in one of the upstairs bedrooms (did nothing to cool the other bedroom and loft) There was no AC for the lower level. On the last day we discovered a window AC in a closet. Sure wish we had known it was there as our last night was extremely hot and humid. When we arrived, we could not get the coded lock to work. Found an unlocked door on the deck to get in, Leaving was the same as we could not get the door to lock. Luckily the cleaning crew showed up. It would have been nice to have ice made in the freezer as it took awhile to make some(none in the ice trays either) Overall, we had a great time, but sometimes it's the annoying little things that keep a review from being great.

Eagle River Chain of Lakes

The lodge was clean and property well maintained. The kitchen was large and had two usable tables and 4 seats at the bar. The kitchen was poorly stocked for large groups that cook. The property comfortably sleeps 13 maximum. The upstairs of the lodge has a very steep incline/decline staircase which is not safe for children or physically challenged individuals. Catfish lake is a great swimming and fishing lake. The property has a nice dock to park a boat and misc. water toys. We enjoyed the fire pit and the patio tables and chairs were well maintained. Great location and lake!

Beautiful House and Property

This was the perfect spot for a long weekend for 9 adults. The house is large and well equipped. The lakefront property the house is situated on is expansive with enough room for all sorts of activities including a mini-beach with sand. The dock was perfect for our pontoon rental and we enjoyed boating on Catfish Lake and the chain of lakes that it is connected to. The only cons I would include with my review is that there are no spices in the kitchen including salt and pepper and although there is a canoe and rowboat for use, no floatation devices were supplied which are required by the WI DNR for all watercraft occupants. Would still highly recommend!

Fantastic property for larger group

Needing a larger property for a snowmobile trip that could offer sleeping for 11, this place delivered. Great to have 3 full bathrooms, a pool table and other games available to enjoy. Cooking for a large group was a cinch with all the cookware and utensils you could want. I would like to have the property owners do a little touch up on a couple items. There was a broken loose tile in the main bathroom shower. Some of the kitchen cabinets were in need of some attention as well with loose knobs and not closing properly. Overall not a deal breaker and I would not hesitate to rent here again!

Relaxing family location on the lake

Well furnished! Comfortable/plentiful seating/sleeping accommodations. Indoor & outdoor recreational activities were great - with kids enjoying immensely. We did have to wash a number of kitchen items prior to using, as they were notably dirty/sticky. We tried to use the dishwasher, but it would not close/lock in order to run, so we ended up having to do a lot of dishwashing by hand in single sink all week. Washer & dryer were great. WiFi was slow and TV reception not great, but didn't watch much as we spend majority of time outdoors. Very quiet allowing us to hear the lake loons - a real bonus! No neighbors home until final day, when they arrived with a barking dog whenever we were outside. Fire pit was also a real nice experience. Overall, a very enjoyable week!
