My son and I had an amazing time! We went on the paddle boat, played bags, lawn golf, went swimming, used the floating pier to soak up some sun, had fires in the awesome fire pit with a ton of great firewood provided, (thank you for that!), and saw beautiful sunsets! I love how we were able to walk right into the lake from the property! Really nice sandy bottom with very few weeds as you swim out to the floating pier and very clear water! It's a beautiful lake on a beautiful property! The home itself was immaculately clean, beds were very comfortable, plenty of cooking items to prepare meals, very nice outside grill for grilling, and a wonderful lake room to sit in to look at the lake or watch a movie on a rainy day. Thank you Joel and Annette for opening up your wonderful lake home for others like myself and my son to use for a nice time away that we both really needed and enjoyed! We hope to be able to stay there again next year!

Peaceful and Relaxing

If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is the place for you. The lake is small and doesn’t have a lot of lake traffic. Sunsets were beautiful. Accommodations were just as shown in photos, very neat and clean. Great place for the money.

Peaceful Paradise !

This property was a peaceful getaway. The sound of the Loons and watching the eagles nest right from the pier was a wonderful. The cabin was super clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need. A real log cabin feel.

Great, cozy, little getaway for a relaxing weekend. Host offers a lot of extra amenities, information and availability for questions (i.e. towels, grill, games, and more). Perfect location on the lake to float, kayak, and fish. Less than 20 minute walk into town if needed too. Bed was comfortable, no complaints at all. We'll be back when timing allows.

Clam Lake Paradise!

We had a wonderful time at this property! It is truly a northwoods old-world Wisconsin experience - just what we were looking for. The cabin was clean, quiet, and beautifully decorated. The central air was a nice touch - although we didn't need it! The ample firewood (both indoors and out) was also much appreciated. We would love to return!

It was a great week!

We were thrilled with our “get away” vacation. We have always loved the idea of being at a cabin, relaxing, reading a book, walking around, staring at the water, and the seemingly silly geese as they show up, walk up and then go back after a fine hunt for geese food. Quiet, peaceful, delighted in the layout, the atmosphere of peace. What more could we have asked for?

Cozy Cabin on Clam Lake

This is our third stay in this cabin. It is clean, well equipped, and convenient. The host makes us feel welcome with a lovely note on the kitchen table. The instructions for arriving and departing are clear and concise. It is a beautiful location. We would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the beauty of the north woods.

This is the third time me and my family have stayed at this property since 2017. The first time was with my senior citizen father and teenage son and the last two visits were with my spouse. It has gotten better each time as the property owners continue to add improvments and make things very comfortable. Staying here is the real "up at the lake" cabin experience and the price and value are excellent. We like to stay put and enjoy being near the lake and we had all the amenities and space to cook homemade meals during our week long stay. We relaxed in the sunshine and blue sky amid white pines on the lakeview deck, and when it rained we lounged in the comfortable front room that was well lit with natural light and kept cozy with a wood burning stove that included a generous supply of dry firewood. I fished from my kayak and my wife enjoyed catching some rays on the floating dock not far off shore. It was another fantastic stay and the owners are thoughful with a lot of personal touches and they continue to put sweat and love into this fun northwoods cabin.

Relaxing and enjoyable week

The cabin is clean and homey. Arrival and departure directions are clear and easy to follow. The trees were at their peak of color and the weather was perfect. We enjoyed having our granddaughter with us. We hiked, shopped and explored the area. Last night we saw the northern lights. They were awesome. Thank you Annette and Joel.

Quiet cabin in the woods.

Very clean and well stocked cabin. There was not a single item that we needed that wasn’t found in a cabinet or a drawer. Plenty of CDs to watch, on the couple of rainy days during our stay. There was a power outlet attached to a tree near the dock to be used to recharge our boat batteries. Enjoyed the porch overlooking the lake. Only time I heard the neighbors is when they cut their grass.

Quiet piece of heaven

This cabin was just what we hoped it would be. My husband and I rented here for our anniversary with our yellow lab. Neighbors are close by but are very quiet and so is the lake. We spent most of our time around the fire and fishing. We caught over 30 fish while humming birds were buzzing around checking us out. The cabin was incredibly clean and the owners were very accomodating and easy to contact. The cabin is equipped with all of the necessary life items and perfect for a small group. Hayward is just a short 30 minutes away and many waterfalls just under an hour away. I would definitely be back.

Wonderful Northwoods Cabin

Perfect up north cabin, with a fantastic lake view! We spent 4 days and enjoyed every minute. We spent time kayaking and fishing upper clam lake and nearby day lake. Did well enough to have a bluegill fish fry. We spent a day in Bayfield and toured the apostle islands. It was a quick drive from the cabin. All the local establishments had friendly and helpful staff. We took a drive down nearby Mathey Road and saw 5-6 elk standing next to the road. Overall the vacation was great and the cabin was fantastic. We enjoyed the books that gave the history of the cabin. Great personal touch that brought life and character to this place. Thanks for opening your cabin to us!

Great location

My wife and I were looking for a quite place in the Northwoods to spend a few days looking for waterfalls and enjoying the fall colors. For most visitors this cabin probably works just fine. For us there were just a few shortcomings when we returned for the evening. We found the bedding less than fresh and the mattresses uncomfortable. (All of the furniture is pretty dated.) There’s enough WIFI for one user or watching Net Flicks, not both. There are 3 TV channels but they are all PBS. If these things are not important to you, this cabin has everything else you need and the location is wonderful. In spite of the rain we enjoyed the area.

*To anyone reading this review, PLEASE, PLEASE read the other reviews. This is the first negative one we've received and I feel I need to respond. First off, we go the extra mile getting the cabin ready for renters. We try to think of everything to help them have an excellent experience. I'm baffled by your remark about the bed. Many of the previous renters have stated how comfortable the queen size bed is, in fact it is the most comfortable bed we own. The linens are always fresh when the guests arrive. Our listing is for an authentic, rustic log cabin, not the Hilton. The pictures associated with the listing accurately represent the furnishings in the cabin. When we arrived at the cabin on Sunday Oct 6, we noticed that the WiFi booster in the kitchen was turned off. If it was on, there is a strong connection to operate many devices including streaming. However this complaint is a moot point as our listing states that we do not guarantee WiFi or internet. We get it graciously from our neighbors with the aid of the booster ( that was turned off). I guess you can't make everyone happy.

A Peaceful Get Away

My wife and I enjoyed staying in this exceptionally well kept cabin. This property is very comfortable and an excellent place for recreating on a beautiful Wisconsin Northwoods lake, rain or shine. Kayaks and safety floation equipment were available (I recommend the kayaks for experience paddlers). After a sunny afternoon paddle, the early June evening sky turned grey and rainy, so instead of a fire in the outside fire ring, we put some provided logs in the fireplace in the three season porch. Just before sunset the clouds broke and we watched the sky glow pink as the sun dropped behind the jack pines across the lake, all from a comfortable couch. Though we enjoyed being on the lake for a little while, the best part for both of us was to simply read books, cook good food in the well equiped kitchen, and to experience the nature of the area (Do have bug repellent handy as spring and early summer mosquitos are very active, even in the day. The deck features bug repellent torches.) This cabin is great for couples and small families and we look forward to returning.

Comfortable and cozy

The cabin was clean and well equipped. We were welcomed with a handmade greeting card that was so thoughtful. Instructions for opening the cabin were clear and concise and for closing it as well. The neighborhood is quiet. The view across the lake was gorgeous this year. We would gladly recommend this cabin to anyone who wants a comfortable place to stay in the Clam Lake area.
