Very relaxing and comfortable

A fun place to hangout inside or outside. It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Loved the seasonal porch for some calm and quiet time. We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin and the quiet time we had.

Great nature getaway

We had a great weekend seeing deer on the property everyday, the cabin had everything we needed. Our only issue was the beds were too firm for us, I had to sleep on the couch all weekend but it didn’t take away from us enjoying our weekend away and I would recommend this cabin to anyone.

Surroundings could pass for set from Deliverance

Despite poor curb appeal, overall cabin was fairly comfortable. Nice parks within 30 min drive. Highlight was spotting a smallish black bear enjoying the ripe raspberries surrounding the lawn. Screened porch very pleasant in early mornings and after sunset (Temps in high 80s and high humidity)

Great place! Will rent again!

Loved this place! It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked for any cooking needs. Location was perfect for us to attend a family reunion nearby. We will definitely rent again. Only complaint was that the AC was not turned on when we arrived - it was hot day and a window unit in the living room so the bedrooms were super hot and took all night to cool off.

The house has many sitting areas, inside and outside, which was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals. The boat launch was minutes away. Very quiet and very clean!

Nice place, could have been cleaner

Overall good experience, but there was some dog food in one corner and dog hair on blankets and pillows. Also lots of dead and alive lady bugs inside.

Cabin Hideaway

This was located off the busy roadway. Nestled in the woods. Very clean. Lots of deer activity and wildlife. I would highly recommend to get away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. We are already talking about booking another date.

Great Location on West Side of Lake Petenwell

Stayed at Bucks Crossing for a guys ice fishing trip weekend. Great central location on Petenwell lake, within minutes of both Wilderness County and Veteran’s boat launches. House was clean and had everything we needed for our trip, kitchen was well stocked with adequate cooking utensils and dishware. Plenty of parking for 3 vehicles with atv trailers. Fishing wasn’t bad either with a number of short and keeper size walleyes, crappies and perch. We’ll definitely be back, thanks!

What a sweet cabin that feels like the north woods without the drive! Cabin was very clean and spacious. The bonus 4 season porch is great! The Wilderness Park is only a few minutes away and is a nice small beach with fishing options and only costs $5 to park your car. Buckhorn State Park is beautiful. The Shipwreck is a great open air restaurant/bar with live music and good food. The Wisc. Rapids aquatic center is a lovely outdoor pool. Thank you! We had so much fun!

Setting looks somewhat abandoned

Poor initial impression as yard overgrown and weedy, very close adjacent buildings look abandoned. AC and fans marginally adequate but weather extremely hot and humid. Prepare for short car ride to lake and public accesses (lake is beautiful and clear). Furnishings comfy and clean, Nice assortment of games, books, movies. WiFi not up to streaming although we only tried once —so busy visiting friends with direct lake access. Lots of nice birding and fun watching a hungry small black bear enjoy the raspberry bushes along the edges each morning early. Communication with manager NA

The Fishing Couple!

As a fishing couple, we enjoyed the cabin very much. We like that the cabin is in the woods and has easy access for boat to be stored in the driveway close to the house. We did find the electrical outlets on the outside of the house, one being on the porch and the other behind the brush in front of the house. The inside of the house was very clean and taken care of. The outside of the house could use some work. It definitely needs some landscaping, new roof, paint, eve and gutter work as some of the gutters were hanging on the outside of the house. Probably from snow and or ice during winter. This is my honest review on this cabin. As far as fishing we didn’t do well on the lake, but the river was a different story. We caught some pike, small mouth bass, and walleye. Yesssss!!!!! Great fishing trip!! Thanks you for everything hope all is well.

Very spacious and clean cabin. Nice remote location near lots of hiking! I liked that it was dog friendly and there was a 3 season porch and two regular porches. Very cozy and well equipped! A/C unit worked well and we appreciated having it.
