Rustic property at a convenient location that was a short drive to some amazing hiking and mountain biking trails. Cabin had plenty of space to accommodate our family and gear.
Rented the house for a long weekend celebrating my partners 30th birthday. House was as described. Easy access to rent a boat from the marina and dock it at the house. Had a beautiful weekend. Would absolutely stay again.
Very nice property in a relaxing and peaceful area. The house was spotlessly clean. Very comfortable and cozy. Communication with Hank was great. He answered all my questions and was very accommodating. I hope to get back to this area so we can stay there again!!
We had a large family stay in the place and we all loved it. The place has multiple TVs, pool table, hot tub, fire pit (real and artificial) and most importantly, proximity to the river. Lots of things to do, cozy atmosphere and good neighbours. It is also quite close to a lot of activity around in LaFolette. We really can't complain. Plus the owner, Hank, was super responsive and helpful in making our stay comfortable. We loved the place and would definitely return
Group of sisters that donât get to see one another enough living in different states and with how busy life is. We were a little worried about staying in a pet friendly house but everything was very clean and layout of the house is great. You do have to walk through one bedroom to get to another but we had no problems with that. Would definitely stay here again! Hoping to make this an annual event!
Our family loved this house! The owner was very friendly and helpful, even offered to get us bait. We really enjoyed fishing off the deck and dock. My wife loved the back porch in the evenings and we all enjoyed the lighted gazebo and grill. There is a great new hot tub with room for the whole family. And we all loved the pool table. Kitchen is very well stocked with any utensils you'll need. There is no cable or sattelite although Netflix and other streaming services are provided. But the internet is spotty sometimes so you can't always watch TV. That being said, we still give the home 5 stars because there are so many other things to do here.
Thank you so much for your kind words. You were our very first guests in the new house and we are excited that you loved the place after we have put so much work, care and energy into it... Im sorry you had issues with the internet but I think it had something to do with the bad weather since it is a satellite fed provider; we will look into this...
You did an amazing job with your checkout and we would highly endorse / recommend you to any other host as "QUALITY GUESTS".
We hope you come back because you are excellent guests and seem like such good people.
Thank you again so much for your trust and business... especially during this aweful COVID-19 Pandemic which we are completely focused on with our counter-measures, housekeeping techniques, products and procedures to not only guarantee a cozy and comfortable place to hunker down and enjoy but a SAFE place as well for any family to enjoy, (worry-free)...
"You guys are AWESOME!"
Very Respectfully,
Hank
The property was beautiful, but because of all the crazy weather theyâve had, itâs not like the pictures. The river has gone down tremendously. The dock is broken and it is actually very difficult to even get to. Thankfully, we werenât planning on doing much with the river because we were here in January, but if you are planning on making this house part of your summer plans, contact the host prior to see if the river and dock have improved at all. If you notice in the pictures, they only show images of three of the four bedrooms in the house. That is because the fourth bedroom is actually a sunroom attached to the master bedroom that they turned into a bedroom. Itâs connected to the house through the master bedroom only. Unless you go outside, walking through the master bedroom is the only way to get to the fourth bedroom. I just wish they wouldâve been more transparent about the bedroom. It just wasnât what I expected. All this goes to say, the house was very nice. The hosts were very kind to us. have no really major complaints overall, just a few things I feel like you should know before you rent the house. Itâs a beautiful property though and Iâm so grateful we got to spend our new years there. Thank you to the host for everything! It was truly a blessing.
This property is amazing and relaxing. There was plenty of room for 4 branches of our family to gather for the Thanksgiving holiday along with our furry friends. Two living spaces with a pool table, 4 eating areas both indoor and out, WONDERFUL gas fire rings in just about EVERY outdoor space..... at least 5 outdoor gathering areas including a hottub. Easily fit our 6 adult 4 children gathering. Hank is a great host. You couldn't ask for a better place to stay. We'd definitely like to visit again!
Wanted a nice relaxing place for before and after our wedding and this was a great place. Was unfortunate that the lake water was down but thatâs normal this time of year.
Great place right on the water!! House was clean and tidy. Hosts were very nice and helpful. Pool room is fantastic! Would stay here again without hesitation.
This house is big with comfortable beds . Great views of a clean lake. Lots of yard space front and back on a very lightly traveled road .Property owner is very responsive and nice. The dock is good, but that's the only way to get into lake. We were thinking there was shoreline but there is none accessible. We are all fit but I can't imagine getting older folks or little kids up and down the steps easily. Nice quiet cove if you're looking to relax. Bonus is pets are allowed but it is spotless!
Hank was wonderful throughout the booking, check-in and during our actual stay. We had a bit of glitch when we first arrived - arrived in the dark and could not get the front door open. We eventually got it. It was a Sunday evening and I hated to bother Hank, but he did respond. It would have been helpful to have a light on and a note in the "welcome" email that states that there are key pads on 2 doors just in case. Overall the property is nice and in good condition. There are some areas that could use some TLC (bathrooms), but everything was in working order and didn't impact our ability to enjoy our stay. There were 4 comfortable and clean king beds which provided ample room for our family to sleep comfortably and stretch out. The main living areas are comfy and the kitchen was good. I would not say it is modern but it had just about everything we needed. We have a couple of family members over 6 feet - the light in the font hall was a bit dangerous - hangs very low and my hubby and son hit their heads a few times. Might be worth swapping that out for a flush mount light? It is in the main hall so you can't avoid passing it, so tall folks be aware. We had easy access to the lake ( a lot of steps - that is just the nature of the area). The water level was low when we went and we didn't do any boating or anything, but it was nice to hike down and check things out. We did use the hot tub, it could use a descaling or cleaning - it was very scratchy and rough on the inside. We had a couple of nice days and were able to sit out on the back patio - we really enjoyed that. A big wind storm came through and produced quite a bit of damage. Hank was great at alerting us and checking in with us after the fact. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay. Looking to return in the near future!
We walked in and didnât want to touch anything it was spotless and beautiful. We had no problems at all. We will definitely will go back and stay. It is a top notch place. You could not ask for better.
The owner was more than accommodating on all requests. Property was clean and well maintained.
Short drive to a great butcher shop and several nice shops. Will certainly go back
The house is very complete have everything you need. Also we lock the door by mistake and the Host came right away we really have a nice and relaxing time here
This home is like a place your best friend has.Its like your actually staying in their home with them except they aren't there.Beautiful location beautifully decorated and the host are great to deal with.If you want a home away from home this is it you won't regret it.
Overall enjoyed our stay. Boat ramp shared with another house, very steep, public boat ramp very close by, much better option. Very decorated house,lots of extras. There are a few areas that are in need of repair, nothing major. Had a great time on the lake. Be prepared to climb a lot of steps.
