The space was great for gathering with friends. There was some broken or wobbly furniture. The back doors do not lock at all. No mattress pad on the beds so the bedsheet was directly on top of plastic. The entry keypad was loose and somewhat difficult to use because of the long code. Fix these minor issues and this would be a 5 star location in the beautiful northern woods.
The location and lake was nice. The house was spacious and the main bedroom was roomy and had a nice view. This home needs updating, maintenence and the internet/WIFI needs figuring out. The house was nice and can accommodate a lot of people. Overall it was a nice stay just had some issues and annoyances that could be easily addressed.

Blue Sky and Water Views
The view of Rest Lake from the dining room, kitchen and all three bedrooms made this a very restorative vacation house during late June.

Great location and house set-up!
House had an ideal location! Set up was perfect for 2 families, 8 total guests. Loved that we could bring the dogs. WOuld rent again!
Loved this property. Beautiful location. There are great walking or biking paths all around the lake. Manny's Parkside restaurant just opened not far from this house. Amazing food and service.
The house was great, really awesome. The lake, and the whole chain of lakes and that part of WI, is just paradise. Plus, we got lucky with great weather.

Perfect up-north biking retreat
Fantastic location!! So much to do and so close to the bike trails. The kids, parents, grandparents and dogs all enjoyed the home. Mountain biking, bike path riding, hiking, fishing......we should have stayed longer. Great space to entertain a large group.
This a very comfortable and spacious house filled with all of the comforts of home. In a great location as it’s accessible to trails and many fun destinations in town (restaurants, gas, grocery, etc). Love the lake side views and accommodations offered.

Winter wonderland
Second year we have stayed in this house for a weekend of cross country skiing and snow shoeing. We were able to snow shoe out on the lake and fly kites. Returned to the house for a great dinner prepared in the kitchen and settled in by the beautiful fireplace.

Clean house, but needs updates
The house was moderately clean but the decor is very out dated. Good location to nearby downtown Manitowish Waters.

Lovely Home on Quiet Bay
This home was ideal for us. The location was great…close to biking, hiking and canoeing! The home was very clean, comfy beds and plenty of space to spread out. The outdoors were pretty great too…nice dock to relax watching the sun set and a large fire pit for an evening fire. Communication with the host was very fast and thorough. Thank you. We will be back!

Sky Blue Home on Rest Lake, Manitowish Waters, WI
Beautiful home located on Rest Lake in Manitowish Waters, WI. Perfect location on the Manitowish chain of lakes. The home is large enough and furnished well to accommodate a large family vacation. Homes is adjacent to the 28 mile Manitowish Water bike trail that can take you to Boulder Junction in one direction and to Mercer in the other direction. Home is pet friendly and grounds are well kept and open to let your pet run. Fishing activity on the lake was excellent, having caught both Large and Smallmouth bass , Nothern Pike and Musky.

Spacious house. Great area. No internet.
Loved the kitchen and living area and gorgeous lake and the views from both floors. The dock had a huge hole, and we never were able to log on to the internet. We won’t be back, though it was all fine. I also liked the amazing walking trails.

Thank you for your review! We apologize for the issues you encountered with the internet during your stay with us. Since your stay, the local manager has moved the router to a more suitable location which should help with the Wi-Fi signal. The dock is being fixed. We hope you choose to stay with us again!
