We've stayed in this cabin before and it is always well kept. Enjoyed a week of incredible weather, very good fishing, a nice campfire, and peace. Not to mention good food and a cocktail or two. Highly recommend this place for a couple or a small family.
Beautiful and comfortable cottage on a beautiful and relaxing property. Enjoyed fishing off the pier, kayaking (sit on top kayaks), and slept wonderfully. Even able to capture some photos of the northern lights. Would gladly return in the future.
Honestly, this is the best cabin we’ve ever stayed in. Everything was updated and beautiful. The setting was serene, quiet, and had a wonderful lake view. Very attentive & friendly host! We did not lack for anything, and we were very lucky, to view the northern lights right outside of our door, shining over the lake! 💕

We enjoyed our stay at the property. We put our boat in at the landing a couple miles away and were able to leave our boat tied up right outside the cabin. It was quiet and neighbors were friendly. The cabin is very well maintained along with the property. We hope to be back next year.
This was a perfect spot for our long weekend getaway. Very clean comfortable cabin with everything that we needed. Great location on the lake. Thanks for having bumpers on your dock and poles to tie up our boat. Most places do not consider that. The fishing was really good and a nice fire pit to come back to after fishing all day to enjoy the evening. We would love to come back. We had a great time there.
Cabin was very comfortable and clean. Great view of the lake, with access to the water from beach or pier. We had a nice time canoeing on the lake and doing some casual fishing from the pier.
The location is an easy drive to Eagle River and Land o Lakes for groceries, restaurants, etc. Also accessible to Bond Falls (UP MI), Blackjack Springs (Phelps), and Porcupine Mountains for hiking. Overall a great stay.
Cabin is
Owners were extremely welcoming and helpful. They answered all questions and provided great places to eat. They also gave helpful information about the lake and fishing spots. The cabin itself was clean, furnished nicely and comfy for a relaxing stay. Kitchen had all things needed and then some. Peaceful and quiet. It was a wonderful week and we will definitely return.

Beautiful serene getaway
The cottage was so cozy and the perfect place for the last leg of our honeymoon. The fall colors on the lake were absolutely gorgeous! Everything was very clean and the living area and kitchen were spacious. Will be back!
Everything went seamlessly with our rental from check in to check out. The decor of this cabin is updated and very pleasant. We were very comfortable for space even with five people.
Cute little cottage - enjoyed our stay. The only thing I missed in the listing is that bath towels are not provided, so we had to go out and buy some. For the rate charged that should be included. But other than that they have everything you need. Location was great, dock for our boat, close to many amenities.

Highly recommend
I have nothing but good things to say. It’s a great cabin with everything that we needed. Beds were large and comfy. Owners were very helpful and incredible to work with. Steps away from the lake with a great view.
I hope to go back soon.
My husband and i stayed here for a long weekend. It was bliss. We rode 450 miles in Wisconsin and Michigan on our UTV (trails are accessible from the cabin), fished, had a campfire and enjoyed local restaurants. The cabin was clean and comfortable.
This is the second time we've stayed at this cottage and it was as enjoyable this year as it was last. Cottage is clean and cozy. For us, it is perfect. I almost hate sharing as I'd hate for it to become so busy we don't get it next time we can sneak away.
This place offered everything we needed. Peaceful setting, wildlife, nice size lake, dock and lake area to float in, and short drives to daily excursions and shopping. Me and my two daughters had an amazing time playing in the lake, exploring Bond Falls which is close by, shopping and photographing the amazing sunsets. The property was very clean and had great parking. It was the perfect size for the 3 od us and we would have had room for my son as well. We had a couple of questions during our stay and the hosts responded very quickly. Both my daughters agreed our stay was too short and can’t wait to go back.
Very clean. Good communication with owner prior to arriving. Great location on the lake. Easy to get to. Had a great week. Fish cleaning house was a nice bonus.
This waterfront cabin was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for . The owner , Jason could mot have been a better host . From the directions for arrival to accommodating us with a late check out on a special occasion, Jason made sure our stay was fabulous . The cabin is super clean and cozy . It is equipped with all the basics and a complimentary bottle of wine which was a nice surprise . The view out the dining room window is breathtaking . There is a bonus fish shack where you can clean your catch of the day!
We will definitely be back.
We enjoyed it a great deal. Nice updates through the years made it very attractive and clean. People around the property and next door were very friendly and made us feel welcome. It was wonderful to be on such a great lake. We swam, walked and explored areas within an hours drive. Eagle River was very convenient and helped us with our grocery needs. I would recommend this very highly to anyone looking to rent in this area!!
Very accomodating and clean. Friendly neighbors and pets. Easy access to fishing, supper clubs, shopping and outdoor attractions. Hope yto try golfing on our next trip up(next year we hope!)
The cottage was amazing! My wife and I absolutely loved our stay. The fishing off the docks were great, we caught northern pike, perch, and sunfish. The location was perfect for everything we enjoy doing from hiking to some waterfalls in the UP to visiting Little Bohemia in Manitowish Waters for dinner. We spent time in Eagle River, Rhinelander and Minocqua as well. It's a great central location for all those areas. Also, there are 2 casinos near by if you are into those.
The cottage was spotless when we got there and appears to be well maintained. Communication with the owners was flawless and they are very responsive to messages. My only complaint is that it's not large enough to bring my 3 kids and their significant others with us next time!
I highly recommend "The Fishing Outpost" on HWY 45 in Conover for anything fishing related, Pete is a super nice guy and helps out a ton.
