The Lodge on Big Crawling Stone was the perfect space for our family. It was exactly as described and we had a wonderful time. Check in and check out was an easy process with great communication from the property manager. We definitely hope to be back!
The house was new, clean, and as advertised. The kitchen and wood throughout were beautiful and there were plenty of places to hang outside. The only knock is if you want a sandy beach. The shoreline of the property is mud and plants. Overall, 5 of 5.
The home was spacious and had almost everything we needed for the week. We could tell that the house was clean and well kept, despite some of the outdated amenities (bath towels, bed sheets, blankets).
Our kids rented the motor for the fishing boat and had a blast exploring the lake. We also rented paddle boards which were a hit. The lake was lovely and not busy!
One thing to note if you plan on bringing your own boat - the water by the pier is very shallow with a few obstacles that can't be seen. We had a ski boat and bent our propeller trying to dock. We were lucky that the host lives nearby and was able to help us, as well as Ryden Marina helping with the boat service.
Families had a lot of Fun! 4 adults, 4 children. Bunk beds were awesome for the kids & they were on separate floor, downstairs. Ping Pong table was a hit! Very nice laundry room & Cabin was equipped with everything we needed for our stay.
The Lake & chain was perfect...all & all, great experience, maybe likely to stay again.
Improvements:
*Greet-Roy, the host was not friendly when booking or meeting when we arrived.
*All furniture out dated-needs improvement!
*Dock set up could be complete, not kid friendly for swimming...no water toys- kayak, paddle board, etc.
*Fire pit-better sitting arrangements
*Better bath towels & more blankets
We had a great week at this lake house. The house is large, was very nice and clean and gave us the peace and quiet we were looking for. It has a great deck looking over the lake and we really enjoyed mornings on the deck with coffee and listening to the birds and the other sounds of nature. The ping pong table in the basement was a huge hit. We had one big concern with the house as the listing said (and still does) that there is a "Minimum 1-day vacancy between guest stays" which we wanted for safety purposes during COVID. However, we learned that this is not the case and there is no such policy.
The only other real issue with the house was the furniture in the living room. There are two futons instead of any couches. While that might be great in order to provide extra places for people to sleep, they were very uncomfortable for sitting purposes.
While the property is a bit of a drivefrom Minocqua (25 minutes or so) that wasn't a problem for us and we enjoyed being a bit far away.
Regardless of these issues, this is a fantastic property if you want to get away for a while.
Overall the property and our stay were excellent. The house overall has a great layout for a family gathering both inside and out. Roy was very responsive to our inquiries before and throughout our stay. Important to note that the lake frontage is not swim frontage (which is clearly noted in the house description), I'm assuming some people overlook. That being siad the pier is great spot for fishing and you can still bring any regular sized boat in and out easily.
I loved the main level of the house. Basement was a fun place for the kids to hang out. Enjoyed renting the pontoon and exploring all the sandbars.
Roy was a great host. He lives just down the road which made it convenient.
