About this property

Lakefront, dog-friendly home with dock, kayaks, deck, & washer/dryer

Summary:

The Haven



The Space:

Bring your toys and come play year-round at this Northwoods getaway, sitting right on the shore of Catfish Lake in the Eagle River Chain of Lakes. Take advantage of the private dock and bring your own boat to spend summertime boating, fishing, and swimming, or opt for a quiet paddle in the two provided kayaks. Colder weather offers up snowmobiling, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Year-round, you’ll love the easy access to restaurants, supper clubs, shops, and amenities in Eagle River, around three miles west.



At home, warm mornings are made for a lakeside coffee on your waterfront deck. Inside, you’ll enjoy the same lovely view thanks to a triple set of French doors. The open-yet-cozy layout features pine-paneled walls and ceilings, comfy furnishings, and lots of space to spread out. Step into the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a full suite of stainless steel appliances, to whip up that walleye you caught earlier in the day, or toss it on the grill for dinner alfresco. Watch a movie from the DVD library or bust out a board game for a quiet night of family fun. At the end of the day, three serene bedrooms offer a restful night’s sleep. It’s time to turn your Northwoods getaway dreams into reality - all that’s left to do is book.



Please note that this property does not have A/C.

Northwoods Getaway

This is our 3rd time staying at The Haven but first time in the summer. We had a very comfortable stay and had everything we needed. We loved being able to bring our pup and have a dock to tie up our boat. The frontage is very sandy and great for wading. We had a campfire every night for smores. The neighbors were very friendly. We plan to stay again!

Summer Fun

A great cabin to make family memories. This is our second year here and it was great once again. The yard is by far our favorite and gives you plenty of room for outside play. The sandy bottom lake is a major plus with littles. The house is well stocked in the kitchen and bathroom which is always a plus.

The yard and sandy lake are what make this property. The rooms a nicely sized but there is some upkeep needed (bathroom & floors). Our family enjoyed our week here and will be back.

Everything was very nice. We enjoyed our stay. Everything was there that we needed to use. On the day it was colder, we could feel cold air coming into the bathroom around the window. The owner may want to check into that with winter coming.

The Haven

The lakes were nice. Boat traffic was intense. If fishing is high priority you might want to think about the choice. For boating and relaxing it served us fine. The neighbor with the next dock was a very nice gentlemen.

The home was not clean. Animal hair on beds, couch and chairs. Kitchen chair’s wicker was broken and it hurt to sit on. The porch was filthy. Could have at least been blown off or swept before our arrival. The fence next to the house rotted out and fell on the house while we were there.

Great Spot

The cabin was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the place. The lakes were fun, you can catch a ton of small panfish but nothing of note and not many other species of fish were caught either. Some notes for people as they rent this cabin. If you bring a boat that needs to be charged overnight you'll need about 300 feet of extension cords. Turning a trailer around on the property is very difficult.

The Haven a pleasant place.

We had an enjoyable time there. However, we could not get the furnace to work and the temp. had cooled off enough that we needed it to run. I do not have a phone to contact anyone. I left a note for the cleaners and told them about it. Otherwise it was a very nice place to stay.

Functional Pet Friendly Cottage

Not a fancy location but functional and pet friendly if you choose to bring your pet along. The house was clean. The yard is huge and has nice water frontage. There is a dock available to tie up your boat, but no electric, so plan accordingly. The kayaks were the sit-on-top kind and worked pretty well. The house is in a bay right off of a main channel with alot of boat traffic so exercise caution on the water. There is shared driveway with two other properties. Not alot of room to park multiple vehicles, or maneuver a trailer. I recommend backing a trailer in. Eagle River is close by for shopping, dining, etc.

The Haven

The property had several safety hazards including a very unsafe dock which my husband fell through thus hurting himself. Inside the dishwasher wasn’t even anchored to anything so you had to try to hold it up while stacking. There were several trip hazards in the floor & we all ended up tripping several times including the maintenance man who was there fixing a bed. In addition, there were quite a few cracked tile pieces in the floor. The shower head squealed. The sofas were dirty & we found a vap in one when we pulled the bed out. The sofa bed was of the poorest quality. We’re thankful we didn’t have any small children or elderly family members with us. We’ll not be staying here again.

Mother’s Day Outing

They really need to change the description of what is offered on this property. I was looking so forward to kayaking and despite stating they have kayaks on property for use they DO NOT! They answer when you call via third party VASSCA. Repose is always blanketed and you are told it is being addressed by local team, it is NEVER addressed. There was leftover coffee in the coffee pot, not cool. Beware when using the dishwasher, it is not mounted in with screws, so while you are trying to load it tips forward and the unit fall s out The numeric signage to find your unit is not present, went to a different cabin at first. Should probably pick up the eye sore of the mattress that was burnt by someone in fire pit, this could be a safety concern for people. On the plus side, location is on the water a and close to town. Hoses setup is good for family and pets and it is peaceful. PLEASE get kayaks onsite or remove from WEBSITE that was VERY disappointing as was your lack of correcting the situation.

Overall – clean house, great location, and great local rep.

The house was exactly as described & very clean when we arrived. The kitchen had the needed equipment, including an extra tank for the grill. Great location on the chain of lakes. The lake has a sandy bottom & gradual entry, so kayaking from the front of the house was easy. The dock was suitable & had padding on the open side which was nice when docking our rented pontoon (from Watercraft Sports in Three Lakes-*highly* recommended). Previous reviews complained that the house was not clean & that there were no kayaks available – this was not the case now. The house was very clean. There were 2 kayaks; however, they had canoe paddles, not kayak paddles. Previous reviews also mentioned dock & dishwasher issues, but those had all been fixed by our arrival. My biggest concerns before our arrival were the canned responses I received to my email questions. In fact, I received the exact same email response when I asked 2 different questions about the kayaks. Thankfully, our concerns based on the previous reviews had all been addressed, but we weren’t assured of that until we actually got there. Communication with the Vacasa rep (robot) gets 0 stars and communication with local maintenance rep, Scott, gets 5 stars. He responded quickly to a WiFi issue. Suggestions: While the kitchen was well stocked with equipment, there were NO spices (not even salt). I would also suggest that more cleaning supplies are left – we had limited dishwashing soaps and no cleaning sprays.
