We had the best time staying at the Acuna Lake Cottage! It is a lovely lake home that is very well-maintained and features every creature comfort you could think of for a relaxing time at the lake. It is family-friendly for everyone, including your canine companions. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We had a wonderful week! -DeAnna

The Lake is beautiful. It would have been nice to have windows on the lake side of the home, but you could see the lake a bit from the side windows. Also, a few more blankets would be nice. You do have to bring your own toiletries, but I believe the listing notes that. Overall, it was a clean, nice space to gather with family in a beautiful location.

Classic Northwoods cabin

We had a great time in Chetek- the kayak was great and seeing so many stars was wonderful. The cabin had plenty of space for us all (5 of us) and the supplies were as stated in the listing. The hosts went above and beyond when we forgot something important- so appreciated.

Our usual friends fishing trip i think that this is our 5th year staying in this particular cabin.

The fishing was great until the High Pressure System hit. But we still found plenty to do in town.

About the host

Hosted by Ronda Acuna

Host profile image
We moved our family of 4 from Chicago to the Northwoods of Wisconsin in the summer of 2014. We love living in the beautiful northwoods of Wisconsin. In addition to being a wife, and mother to 2 amazing young adults, I am a full time Elementary Special Ed teacher.

Why they chose this property

Those who know my family would say that we have the “gift of hospitality.” When we lived in Chicago we often hosted foreign exchange students in our home from around the world. After moving to the Northwoods of Wisconsin we wanted to have a comfortable place where we could welcome people from near or far to a relaxing experience. We take great pride in hosting…from the moment you inquire about a possible stay at our home on Prairie Lake, to your arrival and settling in…I am available for questions, suggestions or assistance! Let me hear from you today.

What makes this property unique

Our lakehome is in a quiet neighborhood, with a large wrap around deck overlooking Prairie Lake. The sunsets are spectacular.
