Weekend Getaway
We spent Labor Day weekend here and had a blast! Mary was so nice and gave great suggestions for a beautiful beach nearby and free open bowling! We enjoyed the paddle boat and kayaks and jumping off the raft! The apartment is beautiful and they have everything you could possibly need including bug spray! Sadly, we didn’t catch any fish though:(

Birthday get away
This little getaway was amazing! My friends and I enjoyed every second of our stay. On the first day we were able to enjoy some sun and made dinner out on the grill. Along with some s'more's by the fire later that night. Sadly the next day was rainy but Mary sent us a list of things we could do. Which was a huge help. On the last day we had amazing weather so we were able to use the floating dock they had to get some more sun! Overall amazing experience Mary is amazing!

An unexpected dream
We had a dream of a stay. Mary, the host, was incredible - super responsive, helpful, full of creative excursions, restaurants, hidden local gems and everything in between. There was time and space for peace and calm on the water, nearby shops, eateries, ice cream, and outdoor activities. Rain or shine, this is a dream location full of unexpected, desired, and joy-filled surprises. Words cannot describe the delight that was had during our stay. Highly recommend and one of the best home rentals to date.

Quiet and relaxing stay with great fishing!
We had a great stay with plenty of fish caught including crappie, bluegill, bass and perch. The boats were a nice to have and the kitchen was well stocked. It was a short trip to town for ice cream and more bait when we needed it. The owners were wonderful and helpful during our stay, thank for hosting! We hope to be back again.

Great stay
Family of 5 enjoyed a weekday stay at the lake! Mary and Tim treated us like family! Each night we went out fishing in the boats and caught all types of fish- northern, pumpkin seeds, bass, crappie and pan fish. We had a wonderful time and are already looking forward to next years stay!

Northern woods getaway
We came up for the Iola Car Show. Wonderful little home in the woods next to a nice lake. Very clean, nice property, nice fire pit, nice little deck with a grill. Bring a boat of you want to go fishing. Very shallow around the pier so fishing is iffy, but we did see some nice bluegill and bass in the lake. The beds are a little soft, but way better then most other places we have stayed. The kitty cat roaming around is the best part. Super friendly little guy. We'll be back.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay just steps from the lake where we kayaked and fished and soaked up the sun. We ended the night with a fire and s'mores. Our hosts provided us with everything we needed to enjoy the lovely property. What a great weekend to relax in beautiful surroundings!

Lake getaway, perfect for families!
My family had a great visit at the Welch’s property! Inside was clean and beautiful, and had everything we could possibly need. The wet bar, wine fridge, stove, and grill were huge perks. We spent much of our time paddling around the lake and fishing, and roasted s’mores in the evening. I can’t think of a more perfect spot for a weekend of relaxing. We were a 30 minute drive from Stevens Point, and there were several small landmarks nearby to explore, like Sunset Park and Glacier Wood Golf course. We saw loons, caught fish, and watched beautiful sunsets. Mary and Tim were very helpful, but not intrusive at all. We enjoyed meeting them and spending time in Iola!

Lovely time
My family had an excellent time. Mary and her husband were lovely, and the property was beautiful. The space was comfy for 5 people. As someone else noted, there is no stove/oven, but there is literally every appliance you would need to cook and all of the pots and pans (toaster oven, griddle, hot plate). There is also a gas grill and a fire pit with wood. The lake is directly across a small road and we spent most of our time swimming and kayaking. The water is really clear and there were almost no other people out there. There are lots of things to do in the surrounding areas. There is a pie shop that is good, and shivers ice cream is always fun. Mary is really helpful and can give you ideas of what is going on in the area as well. My teenage girls were impressed and are already asking to go back next year. I highly recommend a stay here.

Your Up North Oasis awaits you...
We visited to see the loons and celebrate my mother's 60th birthday. The owners were very welcoming and helpful; we greatly enjoyed the cabin, fires and the lake. We utilized the raft, kayaks and even braved the canoe to enjoy the water, loons and eagle. Even though the kitchen doesn't have a stove, it is fully stocked and your able to make meals with the toaster oven, hot pad and microwave, if you wish to do so. Kitchen has basic spices and all the fixings you need to make coffee. We would highly recommend if your looking to enjoy an up north oasis!

Beautiful spot and very helpful hosts
This was a very nice "get away" - with room for a small family. The hosts were very helpful, but not at all intrusive. Mary provided suggestions for events, restaurants, and responded to questions quickly. Kayaks, canoe, fire pit, etc. All make for a very enjoyable time on a small lake. Beautiful property. One note: there's no stove, so be sure and plan accordingly for meals if you plan on cooking.

Very clean!
This was a very nice getaway. I give these hosts an A+ for their hospitality. They had everything we needed and even included a gift basket. However, I do feel it was a little misleading. The cabin is actually not on the lake it's across the road from the lake. That being said we did have a great time.
