Staff Retreat
I took several of my staff on a short team building retreat. I chose this location as it was remote enough for us to be engaged in activities with each other, yet close enough to local resources to be able to enjoy what the community has to offer as well. The property is beautiful and well maintained. We felt pampered with all the amenities. I honestly do not believe that any detail was missed. I would definitely stay here again. Wonderful job!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the best vacation rental home we have stayed in ever and esp in WI. It was very clean, had all of the amenities for a week long stay, and the location (on a lake where we fished off the dock and kayaked) was perfect.

Beautiful, clean home on lower Lake Gresham
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The inside of the home was spotless. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and more. The bedrooms were nice and all the beds were comfortable except the one that was a queen size under a single bunk bed on top. That bed was very uncomfortable and creaked with every move. We had to wear ear plugs because of the noise it made. That bed needs to be replaced. There were tvs in most every room but with streaming only. The theatre room was comfortable and we used it to watch a movie and the presidential debate. The outside had a fire pit with eight Adirondack chairs. The path to the boardwalk and floating dock was a bit steep and awkward. We had one person who fished and he caught several fish from the dock. There are no water toys or kayaks included. The view of the lake could be magnificent but they have let the view become partly obstructed due to the growth of trees and brush. The management switched part way thru from when we booked to the end of our stay. This led to confusion and conflicting information. However, the new management company was easy to work with. Everyone enjoyed this trip and we recommend this beautiful home.

The perfect hideaway!
The property was beautiful and clean. It had everything for a perfect "girl's" getaway. In the main living area, each person had their own recliner, a fireplace, and a beautiful view. This was our primary hangout spot. The beds were comfy and we each had our own space to spread out do to the layout and size of home. We are planning to come back!

Private Family Location
This property was even better than I expected. It was a well-furnished, clean home with everything our family of 9 needed. Perfect lake for kayaking and fishing. We appreciated the quieter location away from the busy touristy areas. At the same time, it was an easy trip to nearby spots for groceries, shopping, and exploring. Beautiful sunsets and campfires. We would have wished for more seating and some shade down by the dock. We will definitely be booking again!

Excellent stay in the north woods
We had an amazing stay. House is beautifully done with tons of amenities (foosball, games, large table for cards) and don’t forget the theater room! Lake is quiet and secluded. We brought inflatable paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy. Saw loons and an eagle. Perfect location between Manitowish Waters and Minocqua. Communication with the hosts was seamless.
