Beautiful Property
The property is located in the woods, just off the UTV/ATV trails which is why we were vacationing in Wisconsin. Even though the trails are close, it is secluded, and you aren't bothered by others. You may hear a train or two, but that didn't happen often. The owners let you have use of the pole barn so your trailers and vehicles are inside while you are out trail riding. This is a huge plus for us! On a morning walk you will see deer and other wildlife. Book this vacation home, you won't be disappointed.

Get together
The Seclude Lake Retreat was exactly that which we loved. So nice not to have another cabin on either side of you. Beautiful sandy beach area and lots of water toys for using. The house is spacious with everything you could possibly need. Our dogs loved the spacious yard for running. Hope to return next year

The location of this house was amazing. The beach was perfect all day long. Even at 100 degrees out it was evenly shaded and relaxing. The house was the cleanest house I've ever stayed in. Thank you for sharing your wonderful house with us.

I can’t say enough two wonderful things about this Lake House. The owners are wonderful to work with and the property is clean and a great spot to spend some time with family and have a lot of fun on the lake. We will definitely look to rent this lake house again!

Summer Family Vacation
We had a wonderful family vacation consisting of 6 adults and 4 kids (all under the age of 3). The house was set-up with bedrooms at each end of the house which helped with naps and bedtime. We had plenty of room in this we’ll-kept house with the open space between the family room and kitchen, plus a nice screened in porch to the woods. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen had all the useful utensils needed. The house had a lot of games and puzzles for all ages, plus a pole bldg offering other games and a place for little kids to ride bikes. The house is in a secluded wooded area with a lot of privacy. Each day we enjoyed the Sandy beach area with the kids. Having nice chairs on the deck near the water was great. Also available to us were 2 kayaks, a paddle boat, sand toys, and more. One day we drove our boat across the lake to a playground and beach area to play. We enjoyed the fire pit area as well. The lake is beautiful and great for water sports but not the best fishing lake. We had a great time and would like to return again.

Large Family Cabin for All Seasons
This cabin was spacious for our large family gathering. We celebrated birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The kitchen had everything we needed for making big meals. This cabin would be a special place to stay in spring, a spectacular summer vacation spot, a fantastic fall getaway, and a wonderful winter weekend head quarters for enjoying all the activities Hatfield/ Black River Falls/ Jackson and Clark county have to offer. Our family would love to come again in any season.

Everything was Perfect
We stayed Thurs-Sun., and had a wonderful stay. We celebrated an 80th birthday while we were there. The gathering areas are large and fit our group perfectly. The property was absolutely perfect. It was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the owners were helpful with any questions I had. The property itself was beautiful. We enjoyed the lake and fire pit. The location was convenient. Close to UTV Trails, a Casino, restaurants, and anything that you would need. I would highly recommend, and hope to come back sometime soon!

Great Family Week!
The pictures do not do this place justice! The house is huge and the open kitchen/living area was terrific for all of us to be together. The lake is wonderful and all the amenities were appreciated. It was so relaxing! We even got to watch fireworks several nights over the holiday. My only negative with the rental was the water--and that wasn't their fault! We totally understand the town water situation. We had a case of water so it wasn't a big deal. Only meal we ate out was a "supper club".... Don't do it. Other than that, this place was a ten out of ten!!

Christmas
We had an amazing time gathering for Christmas! The large room allowed for us to always be together even when some were prepping food, others watching TV or playing a game or puzzle at the large table. The fireplace was lovely and after an overnight snow it was a magical winter wonderland!! The hosts were very accommodating and easy to communicate with! I would love to come back and enjoy the summertime perks!
