Just spent a week at this property. We have young grandchildren. The outdoor space including the front yard, play area (swings), waterfront and sandy beach area are great for small children. The house meets all of our needs.

Amazing property! We have been bringing our family here for many years. Always have a great time, from young to old. Never disappointed. The sand beach, kid ATV's, and play area make it all work great!! Nice fire pit for adults right on the lake with a view of the big dipper. We will continue to come back!!

We were happy to have you back again this year and we are looking forward to hosting you again next summer! We hopefully will have some additions to the kids toys by next summer!
This was our 5th year bringing the family to this great house. We have never been disappointed and the owners are always improving and adding features!!
Everything was as advertised and as expected if not more. Great place to entertain family and friends with the beach and easy access to the chain. Would highly recommend!

This property was great to bring our entire family together. The grandkids enjoyed swimming while parents, grandparents and uncle/aunt could all visit and take turns making our favorite meals for each other. To top it all off it was very clean and the setting is beautiful and private!
This place was better than listed and amazing for small children. Our daughter was beyond excited at all the toys, and we were comforted by the baby gates that were provided. The lake and neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. We hope to return soon!

Glad to hear you had a memorable stay! We appreciate the kind words about your experience and hope your kiddos enjoyed the toys as much as ours do. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Paul & Tina
The property was beautiful to bring everyone together. It was like our own private resort. Kids swimming all day, fishing off the pier, reading on the deck, and a sky full of stars when we are sitting by the fire. This is our fourth year and we all look forward to it each year!
Plenty of room for our family of 5. Loved the updated kitchen and baths. Lake was very peaceful, with lots of nature. Caught several muskies! But also enjoyed the easy access to the chain and all of the "action" of Manitowish Waters. Also took advantage of the short drive to Boulder Junction and the Minocqua area. Fantastic overall.

We really enjoyed our week at Wild Rice Lake! In fact, it felt like it went by too quickly. Everything with the house was great. It was clear a lot of thought went into making sure everyone felt comfortable and had what they needed to ensure they had a warm and inviting experience!

Thanks for the nice words and we are glad that you had a nice experience! A week up here always goes too quickly, only cure for that is to stay longer next time!

Our family had the most wonderful stay at Paul and Tina's lake home. The house is exactly as described and the lake is beautiful. The kayaks, SUP, lily pad, swim dock and sandy bottom made for wonderful days spent on the lake. Paul and Tina were super responsive to any questions we had and everything was well thought out. We hope to stay here again soon!

This house was perfect for our stay! Great location on the lake, well stocked with supplies and a really well done vacation home. Paul was a terrific host! Very responsive, and when the dishwasher broke, he had a new one installed within a day. We also enjoyed all the water toys (canoe, kayaks, SUP and swim mat) and had s’mores by the fire every night. We would definitely book again!

everything was as noted...great house with everything we needed. the multiple sitting areas and large kitchen area allowed us to spread out. lake is quiet as it is at the end of the chain but it also means a lengthy trip to the other lakes (1.5 hrs to Rest Lake on a pontoon boat). use of garage was very appreciated

Steve,
Thanks for your kind words about our house on Wild Rice Lake! Our family also enjoys how quiet the lake can be while still having access to the rest of the chain. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

3 families, along with 2 grandkids for a week in beautiful northern Wisconsin. This property allowed all of us to come together for the week. Taking turns cooking in the large kitchen and sharing meals with an amazing view of Wild Rice Lake. Swimming, sand toys, canoe, kayak, paddle board and Maui Matt kept us all enjoying each other’s company. A real winner of a home!
We enjoyed your property very much! Quiet mornings with a cup of coffee by the lake were a great way to start the day. There were plenty of restaurants and places to explore during the day for those of us who wanted to get out. Those of us who stayed home spent the day playing in the lake. Sitting around the fire and listening to the loons in the evening was a perfect way to wind down the day. We would all recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay. We look forward to returning on future vacations!

Thanks for the nice review! We always welcome visits from the local loons, they never disappoint! We hope you do come back on your future vacations.
Thanks again!
Paul & Tina
This is our 2nd time staying at this house on Wild Rice Lake. We absolutely love this place. The house has everything we needed and the lake is nice and quiet.
We watched sunrises while drinking coffee, we spent our days boating, fishing, kayaking and playing in the water. We ended our days with lots of laughter around the fire. Eagles flying overhead, loons calling and stars galore. Such a relaxing vacation. Our hearts are full. We will be back!

Week up north with 4 adult children and 3 grandchildren (ages 3, 6, 7). We all were thrilled with the home, the lake access, the dock for fishing, the kayaks, and the garage filled with an amazing assortment of toys. The kitchen offered all that we needed and more, including the electric griddle for morning pancakes. We couldn’t have been happier. Thank you for making this house available.
