Great Get Away

The house was very spacious and we had plenty of room for us and family friends. The kitchen was very well stocked and had plenty of plates, cups, pans, etc. The lake was an easy walk to get too as well. For the watch outs…the property is managed by a property management company so if you are looking for flexibility with check outs or a rate, or just a more personal touch, this may not be the property for you. The oven was not holding temperature during our stay (it would preheat but then would shut off). We reported it and the management company said they would get someone out to look into it. We used the grill to do some of our cooking due to this. Overall, the property was clean, comfortable and we enjoyed our stay in the area!

Good property

The house is very nice with a good piece of land, the kitchen didn't quite have everything we needed and they don't provide you with enough supplies. Vancasa made it easy to sign in and we're very responsive. The wifi is very slow which is to be expected with a cabin in the woods.

Great lakefront home with amazing man cave

I organized the trip with a bunch of old high school friends who haven’t gotten together since before COVID. We had a really great time. The place is really clean. The beds were very comfortable. The basement had a Golden Tee Machine, foosball, and mini ping pong table we used a lot. The fire pit area was nice with a view of the lake from where you sit. We had roaring fires two of the three nights we were there. We had an issue with the refrigerator/freezer not cooling. The management company was responsive and by the next night there was a new fridge delivered. They also reimbursed us for the lost meat/food we had. I thought this was really good guest service. They can’t control when things like that happen, only how they handle it. And they handled it perfectly. Overall, we had a really good long weekend catching up among a bunch of old 40-something guys who haven’t seen each other in a LONG time. P.S.: We rented a big pontoon boat from Big Papa rentals nearby and that went too. We had lunch at the Dirty Turtle and got pizza one night from Bucky’s Pizza. I’d recommend both places. We also went to a place called Shady Akers BBQ to eat and watch the Bears/Packers game. That place was REALLY good and a lot of fun.
