Cute & cozy

My husband and I loved our stay here. We were in the area for a wedding. The location was perfect, close to the water, beautiful, and quiet. Dana was so sweet and generous with sharing her knowledge about the area. The place was spacious and had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend a stay here!

Amazing sister getaway!

I booked this trip as a graduation present for my little sister. I must say that this place felt like it was sent from above! The drive up there was serene, the views all around the property were beautiful, and the hospitality that Donna showed made this one of the most enjoyable experiences up to date. I truly appreciated and loved everything we were able to experience. Donna went out of her way to make us feel welcomed and to make sure when enjoyed. I am going to recommend this place to everyone I know, and I will definitely be coming back myself!

Hayward escape

Spent a weekend on the Eau Claire chain of lakes. The water in this area is extremely clear with lots of wildlife to enjoy. The property fits in with the beauty of up north. The house sits on a large property with two dock to enjoy. There is also plenty of furniture, sit on the dock, in the pines or under the porch. The house had everything we needed and has a cabin atmosphere with a large room with a queen size bed, cable, WiFi, day bed, full size fridge, and a kitchenette meet our cooking needs. I wish we had more time to visit with Dana, she is very helpful and social. Next time we will have that drink! Thank you!

Comfy, beautiful view, wildlife & a friendly host

It was everything we wanted for a long weekend in the north. Dana was very kind and friendly and gave us some great suggestions for day trips. Easy drive to Superior, Ashland and Amicon Falls. So many hikes to do and too little time to do them all. We hesitate to say how wonderful a place it was, for fear it will always be booked and not available! We saw lots of deer, turkeys and a bear while driving back to the rental at dusk. One evening a buck greeted us in the driveway. The ground floor entry was perfect for us and the living area was comfortable as was the bed. We enjoyed the hot tub and were able to attended church with Dana on Sunday! Thanks Dana, Greg and Sophie (the dog) for sharing you little piece of heaven on earth with us. Hope to come back again sometime. Kim and Tom

Everything was very nice and clean, and Dana was so good at checking if there was anything we needed. She also went above and beyond to care for our dog while we went on a tour that didn't allow dogs. Wonderful service!
