Everything we needed for a comfortable fishing trip. Way more room than we needed (we could have accommodated all of our kids and grand-kids)!Beautiful view and quiet surroundings. Steps down to the dock were pretty steep so it didn’t work for my husband, but I got a good workout going up and down and there are benches along the way. Gave 4 out of 5 stars on cleanliness for outdoor gathering spaces only - indoor living areas all very clean.

Great property for family time

This was a great place for us to stay at. It was not too far from what we had planned to do in the area. It was relaxing to sit on the deck and look out over the river. There was plenty to of games to keep the kids occupied and have family game nights. The neighbors are a little close, but overall, the house is nice and provided the escape we were looking for.

Great stay!

This was exactly what we were looking for. We do an annual guys weekend where we fish and golf. This spot was very close to some good courses and the fishing on the river was great! We caught crappies, bass, and northerns. The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Would definitely look to come here again on future trips.

Really nice stay!

Great property and location overall. Owner was helpful and quick to answer all questions. Cabin inside had everything you could need. Outdoor equipment did lack for activities. The fire pit was nice but the location is not very private and seems like it would be difficult to find a better place.

Thanks for the 5 star review and for the helpful tips and we will see what we can do. The fire pit would be hard to move anywhere else because of a potential fire hazard. We have tried to make it easy access and as private as possible.

Beautiful view, neighbors are close by

Nice cabin with good views. To get to the lake you need to go down very steep stairs. The lake is beautiful and the fishing is good. The cabin does have two very close neighbors, and also has water with lots of sulfur in it, I would recommend bringing your own water. Overall a great cabin and beautiful area.

Thanks for your kind comments! We had the water tested recently and it passed with better results than regular drinking water. There is also a brand new water heater and whole house filtration system. With that said there is some sulphuric smell depending on the time of the year and we also bring our own drinking water with us when we stay. We cook with the well water.

Our stay in Florence Wisconsin

This house was perfect for what we needed it for and had everything we needed, even candles to celebrate my sil birthday. It was a long steep walk down to the water but, we found a great beach near the boat launch just a few miles away. Explored Iron Mountain just as we had planned. Worked out great for us. Thank You

Very Nice

We had a great time at the Badwater Lodge. Plenty of beds and a nice big table to accommodate 8 of us. Our kids enjoyed the fire pit, games downstairs, and fishing for little fish off the dock. We brought a trailer with utvs and a pontoon, so the parking space was tight, but luckily we are comfortable backing up a trailer and were able to make it work. Overall very happy with our stay and our kids had a great time.

Great Cabin

We had a great stay at the Badwater Lodge cabin. Very clean, and well equipped. All around great experience. We loved the location, and the arcade games in the downstairs bedroom. Not to brag, but I got the high score on Ms. Pacman now. The beds were probably the most comfortable beds we've ever had away from home, with high quality sheets. I also caught 2 northern pike from the dock. Location is quiet, and shaded. I hope to go back sometime.
