Absolutely Perfect
Myself and two friends stayed at the cabin and it worked out perfectly. We ended up ice fishing the lake the cabin sits at (Wabedo) and could use Georges launch near his dock to take off with our Ranger. We couldn't ask for a easier or better experience. Plenty of room to park vehicles and trailers outside and the inside of the cabin was larger than expected. We will be staying again if we're back in the area!

Cabin
Had a great time staying at this cabin. Got in late so was hard to find the entrance but George was such a huge help so had no issues after. Cute place very close to the small towns. Loved that it was right on the lake. Only weird thing was there wasn’t any towels or a sponge to clean dishes but made it work. (Said after we rented that there were no towels so we were told once he sent info) Overall great stay would recommend

Lovely cabin in a beautiful location.
The cabin is well decorated with a wildlife theme. My bride was a bit taken aback by all the taxidermy. We enjoyed the beautiful view and serenity of the patio. Luckily the fall color popped during the week which enhanced the beauty of the location. We also enjoyed the fire pit almost every evening. Since this trip was our 1st wedding anniversary vacation we appreciated the bottle of wine left for us by the owners. We enjoyed that bottle of wine with some excellent rib eye steaks that we grilled on the very nice grill. Overall it was a pleasurable stay and we would recommend the place to all our friends and family. Not every trip is perfect and I would like to make note of a couple things we encountered, more of a personal preference but your experience may vary. It is a long walk down a steep grade to the lake and the dock and then back up. There is no beach area or easy access to the water, lots of rocks and vegetation at the water. My bride and I are bigger people so we found the sleeping arrangements a bit difficult, the largest sleeping surface being full size at best. If you like to snuggle and cuddle you might want to bring a large air mattress. Watch for deer!

A few things to note before booking
Cute place, quiet lake. What we were surprised about was the cabin is located right next to owners house and a neighbor (20 feet away on each side) so theres no privacy. Also the boat in the description / posting was not there and available which was the main reason we booked this property. The walk down from cabin to dock is all river rock so if you have issues with balance/walking this place would not work.

Great family vacation
Thank you, George and Jill, for a wonderful family vacation! Our family of 5 was very comfortable in the cabin. The beds were comfortable, TV was large and accessible. Kitchen and grill had accessories we needed to make most of our meals at the cabin. We rented a pontoon from Wheeler Marine and had access to the dock, and also a canoe and 2 paddle boards that the kids had a great time playing with. Thanks again!!

Heavenly retreat
Stayed with my boyfriend and sister, my brother couldn't make it. Hearing the loons was the best thing. Filled the humming bird feeder and enjoyed them. We came this time because my sister had this on her bucket list before she isn't mobile any more, she is dying from leukemia. She's a trooper. Thank you again.

Not what we expected.
Beds mattresses were cheap and hard. The sofa was old and broken down. They charged $50 a night for our two small dogs, ridiculous. They want you to do all the cleaning and then charge a big cleaning fee. The cabin sits on about the worst spot on the lake and is quite aways from the lake. A steep downhill grade.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 18, 2023
Lee thank you for your feed back. I am sorry your were unhappy with some of the items with your stay. We have not had anyone complain about the bed mattresses since we purchased new ones. It's hard to please everyone on the firmness of a mattresses. The salesperson had recommended this type of mattresses to try and accommodate everyone. The pet charge is a standard rate for the area at other resorts and VRBO'S in the area. This price was disclosed before your arrival. Pets may be left at home with family or put into kennels. This was your decision to bring your dogs. The cleaning fee of $110 is also disclosed at the time of booking. The cleaning charge is paid to the cleaners that come keep the cabin clean for our guest. Taking the sheets off the used beds, taking out the garbage and cleaning the dishes don't seem like you cleaned the whole cabin before you left. The cabin is located on a hill with the 100 foot set back set up by the county. We have a path that leads to a paved cart path. Stairs with a railing that leads to the dock. Located in a quite bay is an pretty nice setting. Loons, deer and frogs crocking at night is very relaxing. Property is sprayed for misquotes on a monthly basis to help people enjoy the outdoors. Again I am sorry you were unhappy but reading many other quest commits they seem to disagree!

Quick Stay but Fun Time
Arrived at 7pm on Wednesday and left at 8am on Friday! But, we went canoeing and paddle boarding twice, had a bon fire, roasted s'mores, visited Longville and Walker, walked our dog on the gravel road and made an awesome dinner! The place had everything we needed. It was really clean and the beds were new and wonderfully comfortable! Great space. We will be back!

Great vacation.
Property was very clean and managed perfectly it seemed. It was 100 % as portrayed in the listing. Beautiful lot, mature trees, plenty of shade and nice breeze even when hot out. Owner said he had the property sprayed for bugs, they were non existent. Never used bug spray once. Tied the boat to the dock, plenty of room for that. Close to many attractions. Deer came through the yard, loons calling, lots of wildlife. Lake is nice and clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone planning a stay in the area.

Great Cabin and Location
We had a great stay at this cabin. Very clean and comfortable. Nice breeze through the windows most days, but AC if you needed it was available. Smaller kitchen, however, it worked fine for us. Patio area is wonderful with fire ring. Great protected area of the lake so docking our boat was easy. Dock is one of the nicest we have seen. Around the dock is a bit shallow, so will need to trim up. Very easy and short trip to Longville with a couple of great restaurants, a small grocery store (but had what we needed), and a couple of wonderful bait/tackle stores. Full Stringer rocks. George and Jill were wonderful hosts. Give this place a try and enjoy this wonderful lake and property.

Disappointing
When we booked nothing was said about the cabin being a mother in law on the property where the owners live full time and you will be sharing the back yard and the doc. Upon arrival, the kids ran to the doc to see the lake, we were greeted by a swarm of angry wasps who built a nest in the bottom steps, both my husband and the dog got bit, my husbands ankle swell double the size. When we communicated the issue to the owners, we were told they can spray, but it will only make it worse and asked if we had to use the lake that day. The following day we were woken up at 8am by a construction crew ripping up the driveway with no blinds on the door, they had an intimate view of us waking up and having breakfast to their excavator and drilling noise. We finally decided to leave the property as we could not hear each other or the TV over the noise and the lack of privacy of course. When we came back, the driveway was taped off and for the rest of the stay we had to park up and away from the cabin. When we spoke to the owner, we were told they have something special planned and brought us a small gift card the next day. Upon the check out we reached out to the owners and requested a refund of the day we could not enjoy/use the property and they refuse to respond. I sincerely hope the description/pictures are accurately updated to reflect the fact that you are staying on the owners property separated only by a driveway and should any issue occur, it is resolved with the guest and their experience in mind.

Julia as far as the bees by the dock is concerned we do live in the woods on a lake. You called and informed my of this situation. I had mentioned we were not on site and would take care of them in the early morning hours to make sure to kill the wasp in the hive. They are out and about drunung the day and spend the night inside the hive. I tried to explain this to you but you were not happy I left our friends house from dinner to take care of the wasp. I also sprayed them early in the morning to make sure they would not bother you agoin. You saw Jill at the end of the driveway on your way out to town. You complained about your husbands wasp sting. Jill left you some Benedryl and anti itch lotion in the door. Just to remind you this was after the driveway was completed on a separate day. We had no control on when they were going to come a s do the driveway repair. This repair was from the septic line that had broke last fall which lead from the guest cabin to the septic tank. We did give you a heads up that this might be Taking place on our stay. The workers arrived at 8 am and were off the property by 2 pm. You had chosen to leave the cabin and not stick around the property to enjoy the dock area, canoe or paddle boards which you used every other day. Jill and I thought we should do something for you for this inconvenience. We personally came over to apologize. We at that time handed you a card along with a $50 visa gift card, which you accept. Now after leaving the property, which was at 9:30 am when check out is by 9 am you are requesting a full night refund. This seams a little over the top as you were happy to accept the gift and not leave it behind? We feel like we went above and beyond to accommodate you and your family. Sincerely George and Jill Wells

Overall a great place to stay.
We had a blast. We did have a problem with ants though. Kitchen area is understood sometimes, but they were in both rooms, and crawling on our luggage. The property managers gave us something for the ants that worked. Lake has much more weeds than anticipated, but taking the paddle boards out to the middle was just as fun to get some swimming in. Fire place is great with tools for s’mores.

Guest Cabin Review
It is a clean and well maintained cabin and property. It is a guest cabin, but with a fence next to the patio and separate fire pit, it is fairly private. We didn’t see much of the owners during our stay, but when we did they were friendly! Our kids loved seeing their dogs and fishing off of the dock!

Just what we were looking for...
The cozy cabin had everything we needed and then some. Beautiful Northwoods nature prints decorate the walls of the comfortable rooms. George and Jill obviously have spent a lot of time on upkeep and landscaping. We loved viewing the lake, pretty grounds, and hummingbirds from the cabin and patio. The dock is great for fishing, as is the property's location on the lake. We found it a little tricky docking a large rental pontoon in the available space, especially when windy. All in all, it was a wonderful spot to relax and rejuvenate!
