There was plenty of room and it was nice having kayaks to use. Many white towels and it was very clean. We would stay again. Negatives: The paddle boat was full of water and leaves. Unfortunately the jet tub wasn’t really usable because it had gunk come out of the jets and the water at the rental was not hot. It was warm but not hot. ##### Pam K.

Plenty of storage & space in the kitchen and the whole cabin. ##### Cathy C.

What a wonderful stay! The cottage was beautifully appointed. The ample outside spaces provided postcard views. Located close to grocery, downtown restaurants and the Heart of Vilas bike trail head, we could not have enjoyed our stay more and look forward to our visiting again soon. ##### Mary G. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holli C. 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great cabin The cabin was in a great location; close to town but in the woods on a nice quiet lake perfect for fishing and kayaking. The property had several perfect outdoor spaces for bonfire and viewing the lake. The kids enjoyed the paddle boats, kayaks, and swimming. Fishing was amazing right off the dock. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was new and clean. We had a great time here and recommend it to anyone traveling up north. Thank you ##### Holli C.

The lakefront/beach area was perfect for our young kids (7,5,4) and we enjoyed the use of the paddle boat as well. There was an issue with an appliance, management was responsive and respectful. They managed the concern to the best of their ability. Overall a great property for a family to enjoy! ##### Alexa L. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tayler A. 28 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Memorial Day Memories This weekend was a perfect get away. The house was cute and quaint. We felt comfortable and at home while staying here. We have two little boys and they absolutely loved the yard, beach and dock. They spent all day playing in the water and sand letting their imaginations run wild. The lake was perfect for cruises, fishing was hit and miss this weekend but still caught a Northern, large mouth bass and little blue gills. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice get away weekend with friends and family. Plenty of space for everyone and love that it’s pet friendly. Our dog Emma didn’t want to leave, she loved everything just as much as we did. ##### Tayler A. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeremy H. 23 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Nice location, but could have been more The property was clean on the inside, but the outside did not seem to be maintained all that well. The lawn needed mowed and there were leaves in the yard and the landscaping from last fall that had not been addressed. The house was clean, but dated and not inviting for the typical vrbos that we have stayed at. This had the appearance of a home that someone had tried to sell and was Vrbo-ing until they can bet a better price. Meanwhile, a property management company seemed to be handling all the transactions. The TV had an Amazon Firestick that had a goofy password that needed to be entered to watch most anything. We had to call vacate and wait online to retrieve that password. For the price, we expected more. ##### Jeremy H.

The cottage was clean, spacious, and met all of our needs! ##### Nicole S.
