We enjoyed the place and how quiet it was around us. The first morning we were there we had a Deer with 3 fawns with her. We seen a pair of loons on the lake, swans, geese and a couple of Eagles flying over. The fishing was fun but small and tossed them back. We stayed for a week and really enjoyed ourselves. The listing of the place was exactly what you got. We did not need to contact the owner for any reason and was very pleased with out overall stay.
We had a great time. 2 couples with a weekend away from the kids before school starts it was great. The boys learned to fish the lake and got a few pike and bass along with bullhead and small gills for bait. The Lake was very weedy and hard to fish in lots of areas. But we made do with no issues. Very peaceful lake not many people on it the whole time. Wasnt any traffic in the area. The ladys really enjoyed being out on the boat and hanging at the fire pit.
Check in was fine and the cottage was clean. Jay was very helpful with assisting us with the use of the pontoon. However, there was only one plate for the 2 of us, necessitating us procuring plates. It is a nice little cottage but although the ad says it sleeps 6 but there are only 3 chairs for a small table. Light was out and one bulb was missing.
Sheâs rustic. The photos online are from 2015 and the decor has barely changed. Overall it was clean but itâs old. The boat also old (has a tape deck) worked great though. My husband, myself and our 2 small dogs stayed for 3 nights. We fished, walked our dogs and did a lot of relaxing. The dvd (yes we went to the library and brought dvdâs) player works but only in black and white. The tv channels that came in were normal colors. The issue is the dvd player. The queen size mattress is quite uncomfortable (super firm yet jiggly??). In general could use some updating. With all that said we had a nice time. It was very quiet and relaxing.
Everything was as advertised, nice clean cabin w/ pontoon boat included. Peaceful location, even had a deer in the yard one morning. Was the first time fishing for one of my grandsons, he had a great time catching some Sunfish!
Communication with the property manager and owner were amazing and always friendly plus professional as heck. The cabin was so clean and comfortable. The beds were awesome. TV selection was very cool because we got to see many re-runs from days gone by plus current events. Cellphones worked great. Because the weather was really lousy, we didn't get to use the boat or grill but they sure looked like they would be fun. My wife and I have stayed in many cabins on lakes in Canada and many locations in the USA. This place was in the Top 5 out of 100's. Larry & Mary
We enjoyed our stay very much at this cabin. We love to go on the water with a pontoon so this was perfect. We caught lots and lots of fish (and threw them back for the next guests). The area was nice as well. Breakfast at the nearby casino, The Log Cabin Cafe in Crandon and the ice cream at Eats & Treats were enjoyed as well.
Weather wasnât the best and we had hoped to spend a lot of time on the boat fishing. We did make it out one day and managed to catch some nice fish. Cabin was exactly how we expected it to be. It was clean and we were comfortable. Nice quiet get away.
We had a good time at the Lakeside cabin in Crandon. We had everything we needed in the cabin. We did not use the pontoon boat, but I did start it, and it seemed to work fine and a definite plus for the property in warmer weather. I will stay here again.
Mid 80s in the middle of September didnt expect that. We were very happy there was an A/C unit. Cabin had everything we needed. Except maybe a couple more big plates would have been nice. Pontoon was amazing! Fish was a bit of a challenge because of the weeds but we still had fun. Fire pit is great! Enjoyed our time!!
We had a wonderful time. The cottage was clean and the lake had fish to catch. The pantoon was a great addition and the whole family loved spending time together on it.
We had a nice time. We had the pontoon out everyday!! We had beautiful weather. We didn't have alot of luck with the tv. At most, we had 4 channels at one time to choose from, and that depended on the time of day/night. There is no wi-fi, so in order to use our phones, we used them while we were on the pontoon!! We really did enjoy our stay :)
The place is cozy and all you need. Nothing fancy but what do you need if your fishing. The fishing was good but wish they were bigger. Small lake, nice and peaceful. Nobody tearing it up. Nice for small family. Would stay again.
This was our second year staying at this property. It's very clean and we got good use out of the pontoon boat and gas grill. The only tip I would give is to have larger trash cans. After staying a week with 4 adults, we had a lot of trash and recyclables.
Owners, Jay & Beth live about an hour away. We purchased the cottage in October, 2014. This is the 2nd cottage we own, the first is near Rhinelander and has been enjoyed by many (VRBO# 477631). We enjoy staying at both when they are available.
