Our host was amazing and very accommodating. The place was very clean and well kept, even the yard. We also got to meet some of the other owners of the cabins at the resort, who were also great and helped out when we were in need of information. Amazing vacation! Thank you

Lindsay,
We are so glad you enjoyed your vacation. Thank you for choosing Hojnacki's Cedar Hideaway.
--Lorrie
This was a great place for our family gathering. We brought our own boat, so the boat slip was great and convenient, with a small beach for our little grandson nearby, just a short stroll from the house. Swimming isn't the best in the channel for adults due to the weeds further out but not an issue for kids. Once out on the lakes, the water was amazing! The kitchen was well stocked with pans and tools for cooking. The yard was very private, great for yard games and our dog. Also nice, is the Aberdeen Restaurant is just a short walk down the end of the driveway, but get a reservation. It is a popular place. We had an awesome time!

So glad you and your family had a nice vacation. We hope to host you again.

The location was amazing, tucked back into the woods right next to Aberdeen Lodge but close enough to town. House was spacious and had all the amenities we needed. Parking in the garage was super convenient as it was very cold nights! Host was very responsive before and after our trip. We definitely recommend this VRBO if you are looking for a true up north experience.
Great property with everything you need including a restaurant right down the road with fabulous food! Very nice accommodations with great beds and awesome kitchen!

Everything thing was wonderful and well organized. Cabin was spacious and easily housed our family with room to spare. Our family will be staying here again.
We loved staying at Manitowish Waters! Our family enjoyed all of the amenities included while staying at the cabin, including the beach, dock, fire pit. The Lodge served fantastic food and the location is the best.

We've stayed here several times and always enjoy our time. The house is clean, comfortable, and is located on a beautiful property. We enjoyed walking to the restaurant next door for dinner and the kids were able to play in the (little bit of) snow.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location. Manitowish Waters is amazing and there is so much to do.
Lovely home that was perfectly set up for our needs. Loved that there are four separate bedrooms with king and queen beds. Everything we needed was there.

Property was nice. Would be nice if there was a clearing on waters edge. The stay was very nice!

Mitchell, we hope your vacation was wonderful. We too wish we could have a clearing at the water's edge in front of our home, but it is WI state owned land, so there is nothing more we can do.
Thank you for staying with us,
Lorrie & Warren
Lorrie was an excellent host who was quick to answer any questions we had and was super helpful when booking with her. Her hideaway was very clean, super comfortable and was the perfect fit for our large group of ten! Very convenient location to everything. Would highly recommend and stay here again!

Lorrie was great to work with. The property was excellent. The house easily accommodated our group of 4 couples. The attached garage was very spacious. The restaurant next door was great.
We came up for our annual snowmobile trip. House was very clean and spacious for our group of 10. The trails are right there. Definitely will book this place again.

About the host
Hosted by Lorrie Hojnacki
I consider myself a semi-local. I grew up in Manitowish Waters, with some family still residing here. My husband, Warren and I call this our second home. We have spent many years enjoying the lakes, bike trails, winter activities, and all that nature has to offer. Warren, and I are so grateful to share our home with you, and eventually will retire and spend our summers at. We hope that your stay at the Cedar Hideaway is as enjoyable to you as it is to us.
