Cosy cabin in a wonderful setting

Great location. Beautiful lake that is not too big and not too small, completely surrounded by woods. Homey, cosy cabin. If you're into cooking, it has a full-size oven/stove, an outdoor BBQ and an abundance of kitchen equipment. Several good supermarkets and a butcher in town with locally-sourced, quality produce. If you're a runner, there's a great wooded trail ideal for training, beginning in the town centre. Amazing sunsets viewed from the front sitting room and front porch.

Clean and comfortable

Enjoyed our stay; plenty of room and very easy to move in and relax. We had great weather to boat, fish, grill out and enjoy the campfire overlooking the water. There isn't really a beach area, but there are swimming rafts that you can swim out to to either lay in the sun or swim off of. Brian was very easy to work with and responded to my questions in a timely matter. We would definitely stay again.

Fishing Vacation

A very nice property. We had a great time. The cabin did have 2 fans, we had brought two large ones which we needed as it was unseasonable hot. Cabin did cool off very well at night. NOTE: The stove has a solid surface cooktop. so couldn't use my cast iron skillet for frying fish. Easy slope to dock. GREAT dock. very level and stable. No light at the end of the dock, and no property light at the dock, so you have to know where you are if you night fish. The fish cleaning house was the best. Very clean, well supplied. The lake had really good fishing ( pan fish, bass and walleye). The only thing we didn't catch was northern.

Wonderful cabin!

While I would like to keep this cabin a secret for our own benefit...but I am compelled to say that this is the spot for a wonderful vacation on the lake. We enjoyed the proximity to town to gather the essentials, but also the secluded feeling we had while at the cabin. Steps to the lake with the availability of a canoe or rowboat was a great assest as well. Bring your fishing poles (our 2.5 year old caught her first fish, although a boy next door caught 30!!) The owner was extremely easy to work with, and we appreciated his timely responses to questions. We are already looking to book again for next year!

A cute, cozy cabin in the Northwoods

Had a very nice time on Lake Shishebogama. We fished, walked, enjoyed fires in the fire pit, swam (the swimming area was alittle weedy for our liking), grilled, played games and hung out in the very cozy cabin. It was a perfect size for my husband, mom, daughter and myself. We enjoyed the well appointed kitchen. The owner was very attentive to messages/requests.

Clean comfortable cabin on a very nice lake. The cabin had enough space and hot water to satisfy all of us. We kayaked, fished, swam, and lounged at our camp fire. Plenty of time and space for reading, chatting, and private reflection.

Adorable lakefront cottage!

We came up to visit family but don’t like sharing a room with our toddler. This cottage gave us the amenities and space needed for us all to be comfortable. The owner greeted us at one point and was very friendly. He always responded to my questions in a timely manner. Only downfalls were needing to bring our own toilet paper and paper towels, and no AC. Thankfully the weather was rather cool in the evenings so it worked out ok! FYI there are open rafters between the 2 bedrooms and living rooms/kitchen so depending on the level of privacy desired, one might want to be aware of this. When we put our daughter down to sleep at 8p, we had to be ultra quiet not to wake her.
