Northwoods Lake Escape • Bonfires, Boats & Fish!

It was a great time, easy communication with owner, great place!!!!

Amenities were great and the whole group loved the place and the fishing. The lake is gigantic which I wasn’t expecting so that was a pleasant surprise in itself. The cottage is a super sweet stay and I’d highly recommend. It was incredible in February for us, I can only imagine it in the spring and summer months.

The lodge was absolutely stunning, everyone loved their sleeping accommodations. We loved all the attention to detail that the lodge had from the hosts including all the kitchen utensils down to the little water cans on the bunk beds and the luxury bathrobe and linens in the master bath. The accessibility to the kayaks and canoes we also do much fun! We literally had the best weekend ever here! The hosts were absolutely incredible with communication throughout our stay. Absolutely 10/10 experience, my family will definitely be back!

The location of this home was wonderful and our family was very excited to have a quiet place to vacation. Unfortunately the listing and expectations presented were not what we arrived to. Many items in the home are in need of repair from rotting exterior steps, torn out screens, windows without openers (No AC so much needed), beds with broken supports and mattresses that need updating to a front door that can not be opened from the outside nor the inside if the removable latch is not perfectly positioned, broken basement exit door handle and screens, smelly master bedroom, basement is musty and does have a dehumidifier that we cleaned each day, missing lightbulbs, etc. The fishing dock is broken and on shore so not usable. The refrigerator had many broken parts and was not working correctly. The homeowner did have a new refrigerator delivered and the old fridge remained and was able to be used for veggies. Text messages from the homeowner were almost a daily occurance. Not our unplugged vacation expectation.If you are not renting the adjoining garage space/apartment, realize that other guests will also be sharing the space with you.Unfortunately this is not what was anticipated according to the listing, cost and the large list of do's and don'ts provided, discussed over a phone conference and mandatorily shared with all guests. We did not expect to be arriving at a party house.This is a property with a beautiful location and great potential that really needs some TLC.

The cabin is beautiful, set in a rustic and peaceful location; it’s even better in person than in the photos. The interior was cozy, well-designed, with lots of thoughtful touches. We weren’t able to enjoy the water due to the cold weather, but there’s clearly plenty to do when it’s warmer outside. The hosts were super responsive and very on top of things, which we really appreciated. That said, there was a bit of a push to add extras or reminders about potential fees, which felt a little out of place given the premium nature of the property. Also, we were informed at check-in that one of the showers was out of commission and we were not offered any type of alternative or refund. Not ideal for a group of 12, but also not the end of the world. Still, our weekend was amazing and just what we needed! Thanks Amandy & Phil!
