Annual cabin trip up north.

Beautiful place with so much to do. I almost loved everything about this place. The only two things that make it not as enjoyable is that all of the owners stuff stays there so we had a hard time putting our food and clothes anywhere. Other thing was the mold smell. We spent the entire week doing laundry and everything that came home had to be rewashed. Other then that we very much enjoyed our trip.

Perfect little spot on private lake

Loved our week at the cabin!

We had the most amazing time at this picturesque cabin on a small private lake! My husband, three children (16, 15, and 12), parents, and two dogs will treasure the memories made here. The two rooms for the adults were very comfortable (window fans were awesome to bring in the cool evening air) and the kids slept well in the basement on bunk beds. The kitchen had everything we needed. The living room was cozy when we stayed inside. The owners have really created amazing spaces to enjoy the entire property- zipline, fire pit, hot tub, grill, kayaks, and more! The deck chairs were comfortable and made for the best stargazing experience. The location was great for visiting Hayward and nearby state parks (Amnicon/Pattison/Jay Cooke). The fishing was fun too! I can't say enough good things about our time here- would definitely stay again.

Comfortable, quiet, fully stocked vacation home

Since this property is used by the owners, it is set up with everything we needed. Communication was easy and owner very responsive. Wood-fired sauna and auxiliary woodstove in house warmed us up after our days cross country skiing. Great location, not far off a county highway but absolutely quiet except for birdsong and rustling leaves. Close to several great ski trails.

Nice cabin in the woods

Nice place, great sauna + wood burning stove. Probably better in the summer than the winter. Good ski trails nearby, close to Bayfield etc. It's a cozy cabin with a lived in feel. Doesn't feel that remote with lots of cabins nearby. Fantastic communication with property owners, fast responses and easy check in/out.

Fall getaway

My boyfriend and I were looking for a peaceful place to get away from work after a busy year. This cabin was absolutely stunning. We enjoyed every minute we spent there. It was also spotless and well cared for. The perfect pandemic escape. We'd go back again!

Great lake house

If your looking for lake house getaway this is it. Its located right on a small lake, which was great for canoeing on. Kids enjoyed catching fish from the dock and using their homemade zipline. We all enjoyed using the hot tub. The house was clean and has pretty much everything you could ever need for an enjoyable stay, (does not have cable or local channels but plenty of games and movies to enjoy). The house is located conveniently about an hour from Duluth and the Apostle Islands which made for nice day trips. Would recommend to stay here.

Northern Wisconsin retreat

What a lovely place and location. Hot tubbing while gazing upon a small lake (part of a big chain of lakes), kayaking, fishing, swimming in Lake Superior, sweating it out in a wood stove sauna. We would love to rent again and stay longer!

Peaceful & relaxing

The property is very private. We were the only ones on the lake for the 3 days we were there. Granddaughter loved the zip line and hot tub! My son's loved the fishing. It was very peaceful and relaxing! Lots of places to gather outside and very comfortable beds. It was a hit!

Stupendous

Having read the prior reviews, I agree with the common assessment that this VRBO goes above and beyond expectations. The house itself is absolutely repleat with every and any thing that a family would need - in good weather and bad. The property outside (where hopefully you'll spend all your time) is absolutely gorgeous and has so many ammenities! The area is lovely and close to Lake Superior and Bayfield town. We enjoyed kayaking to the Apostle Islands and walking around bayfield. We loved kayaking, looking at the stars at night, building fires, playing with the zipline, swimming in the rain and sitting in the sauna. The list could go on and on. Josh and Brenda was super helpful too. We are so thankful to have had this respite in the midst of the pandemic.

Relaxation at its best!

Our family had a great time decompressing at this beautiful spot! My boys are big into hunting and fishing and being able to step out the door and have your own private lake was wonderful. Had one tiny issue but by no means anyone's fault. We received over 5 inches of rain one night and it started leaking in the doorway to the basement family room. Called the owner to let them know and then used a container to catch what was coming in. Absolutely perfect place to unwind.
