Amazing Grace

Thank you, Mike and Wanda! We had a great weekend with our adult children and our dog. Very happy we decided to try to get in some quality weekend time. Everything was awesome: the house and gazebo (with unique decor full of history), the location, all the amenities, from corn hole to water toys.

Perfect weekend in the North Woods

Loved this cabin with its retro decor! Beds were comfy, the house and property had everything you would need for a getaway. The lake is very private with no houses across the way to ruin your views. Mike and Wanda were wonderful hosts and we look forward to visiting them again!

Wisconsin North woods escape

Lakefront cabin with all the amenities you could want! The cabin is on a small lake, White Birch, that has only two other properties on its shores. You can boat, kayak, fish, swim, canoe or just relax. Many hiking, atv and biking trails in the area for out of water fun. The property owners live onsite next door and are wonderful hosts.

Weekend at the lake

Had a wonderful weekend lake getaway. The lake was beautiful and everyone was able to catch a fish and enjoy the days on the water. Mike and Wanda are right on the property and made sure to check in to verify if anything was needed. The cabin was gorgeous and overall was a great time.

Absolutely amazing!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Everything was perfect and Mike and Wanda did so much to make sure our stay was special. They greeted us when we got there and showed us around. The sauna was incredible and a great way to relax after a day of skiing. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen while small was stocked so that we could cook everything we wanted. We will definitely be coming back again!
