The property is a nicely updated home, with a beautiful lake view. The location is great for a relaxing quiet lake getaway. Andrew was great to work with and quickly answered any questions we had. Would definitely recommend this place!

Stayed here with my husband for a long weekend. The pictures don’t do it justice, it’s even more beautiful in person. Place was SUPER clean and I’m sensitive to smells but it had no harsh odors. Great recommendations from the host for things to do and we loved the quiet area. Still close to plenty to do. Will definitely stay again.

This was our first time using VRBO. After quite a few days looking around on VRBO we decided to stay at this property. The communication from the start was excellent. Andy, the owner, answered all our questions, accommodated it concerns and was always a pleasure to communicate with. His property is AMAZING! A dream come true to stay at on vacation. The price was very acceptable for what this property offers. Andy, id love to buy this property if you ever decide to sell it. Id keep it all to myself!

What an amazing view, whether you're inside or out on the deck or patio. The cabin was spotless and everything was first rate. We liked all the modern, up-to-date household items so much, we are even thinking about purchasing some identical products for our home. Plenty of wood for an evening fire as you watch the sunset while enjoying a glass of wine. Plenty of options for the TV in case it rains, as well as a number of DVDs for movie night. The lake was a little low, so we passed on using the pontoon this time. We did some hiking at the Hunt Nature Preserve just a few miles down the road. We would definitely recommend checking it out. No cost, donation only. We also stopped at a backwoods bar just down the road as well ... the Rockford House Saloon on Long Lake. Friendly bartender, Amy. Lot of laughs there. Fun! Jan even won the Shake-Of-The Day ... 37. Overall a great experience! It was a real pleasure working with Andrew. He made the whole process very easy. Thank You! - Tom & Jan

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin! The host was friendly, timely, and attentive to everything! The new updated amenities were amazing and easy to use. The window view of the lake is stunning as is the lake itself. We enjoyed kayaking and swimming off the dock at this quiet retreat. We would definitely rent this cabin again!

EXCELLENT RELAXING PLACE TO STAY

This place was absolutely amazing!! It is very peaceful extremely clean and very open area. Everything you need from games to crockpots to towels. So beautiful to wake up and see the sunrise through the windows to just sitting out on the deck having coffee! The communication with the host Andy was absolutely wonderful. We had never rented at a VRBO before. He walked us through the check-in process and checkout process. It was an amazing stay and we would for surely stay there again.

This was a perfect getaway for peace and quiet. The distance between properties was more than expected and added to the experience with plenty of privacy.The house/cabin was well equipped with everything we needed and more. There were plenty of things for kids to enjoy (although didn’t apply in my case) games, swings, toys, etc.Andrew (aka Andy), was a great host and was extremely helpful in all communications. We really appreciated the work and/or updates that made our stay especially comfortable.

Our experience at Ripley Lake was excellent. The cabin was immaculate, filled with all the essentials, and designed for socializing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Check in and out was a breeze with simple and straightforward directions. There was abundant space for planning meals, dining, and relaxing. Essentials for cooking and bathing were generously provided. Sleeping arrangements were comfortable. The setting was peaceful with our grandchildren thoroughly enjoying fishing off the dock and using the available paddle boards and kayaks. Hope that we have another occasion to visit and would highly recommend a stay at Ripley Lake to everyone!

We had so much fun at the Ripley retreat! We wanted a vacation to celebrate my son graduating from high school since he loves to fish. The owners were so kind and they had a special cake in the fridge for him when we got to the cabin. The cabin is cute and had more than enough space with all the amenities we needed for two adults and four kids. The lake was perfect for what we wanted to do. We fished, paddle boarded, kayaked and enjoyed seeing all the wildlife. There was loons, deer, eagles and plenty of bass. The lake felt very safe for my 9 and 12 year old to scoot around on paddle boards. It was a wonderful vacation for our whole family!!!

We enjoyed our stay at your property! The kids loved the lake--they fished, kayaked, and paddle boarded. They also enjoyed some of the games--we'll be adding Klask to our home collection! The home was very clean and had plenty of comfortable living room seating, plenty of room for dining and a nicely furnished kitchen. A few suggestions--we missed having a strainer and filet knife in the kitchen. Also would have loved a dresser or something in the upstairs bedroom to put keys, watches, jewelry, etc. We enjoyed the area as well--we visited Spooner (lots of restaurants and a few stores), Shell Lake (for ice cream), Rice Lake (many restaurants and stores). We also visited the distillery right down the road. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
