Clean and comfortable bed. Fenced yard for dog was convenient. The dock was a very pleasant place to watch fish and birds. Red Breakfast within walking distance was great. Easy check in. We really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your nice review. Hope to host you again.
This was a great place to stay! Everything was clean and stocked. Great to to have the canal right behind the house. I will definitely be renting this again! 5 Stars!
This is the perfect little getaway. The wildlife was amazing; from fireflies to manatees. The stars at night are beautiful. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a little getaway.

Leeann,
Thank you for your nice review.
Hope you book again.
Dan and Margaret
Enjoyed fishing off the dock, fire pit and had plenty of room . Enjoy the Rainbow river. A couple of good restaurants very close. Hoping to go again next year.
Our first time on this property, but our third year with Dan and Margaret as our hosts. Canoe access in the yard, and near other beautiful rivers, made it perfect for us. Very clean and relaxing spot.
We had a relaxing time. Stayed for three months to get away from the Wisconsin winter. Smiling as we sat on the dock watching the wildlife and the canal stream by. Country cute décor and felt very private from neighbors. Right by two great restaurants. The owner was very attentive and helpful.

My husband was very generous with his review. I do not share that thought. Our Fish Camp was not left in a very clean state at all. They were offered some cleaning help during their stay . They did not accept it. As a owner I was very disappointed. The couple was nice but not very clean.
We had a very comfortable stay, the weather didn’t always behave but it was the end of January. It truly is a fish camp. The bed was very comfortable and the accommodations more than adequate.

Debbie and Kelvin,
Thank you for the kind words. Your are welcome to return, anytime.
We would love to come back. The home had everything we needed to just relax. We fished off the dock and on night one, caught a few large catfish and some bass. Fried them up and enjoyed great freah fish. We had a fire and watched the stars and even enjoyed a few movie nights. Would recommend.
