Don’t waste your time!

Heat wasn’t turned on at check-in so house was freezing. Key wasn’t in lock box when we got there. It was in the back door so anyone could have been in the house. Very unsafe. Directions said take garbage to dumpster but there wasn’t one. Charged us 50 for cleaning ladies to take it to the dumpster at the restaurant down the road.

Winter getaway

We've stayed here several times and always enjoy our time. The house is clean, comfortable, and is located on a beautiful property. We enjoyed walking to the restaurant next door for dinner and the kids were able to play in the (little bit of) snow.

Little Slice of Heaven

Lorrie was an excellent host who was quick to answer any questions we had and was super helpful when booking with her. Her hideaway was very clean, super comfortable and was the perfect fit for our large group of ten! Very convenient location to everything. Would highly recommend and stay here again!

Nice quiet and private home

The vacation home was very nice, quiet and private. We would consider staying there again. The only downside is for the price your dock and boat are not in the backyard. If not for that the rating would be excellent.

Jewel of the North(woods)

This cabin is absolutely perfect for a week/end visit to the Northwoods. The location is ideal - just feet from the beautiful Aberdeen lodge and restaurant and less than a mile from the lakefront - the scenery and walkability is unmatched. The cabin itself is great for 4 couples / multiple families and even kiddos. There is lots of room for activities both indoors (game room downstairs and large family room/dining room) and outdoors (great patio and fire pit in the back yard). Lorrie was communicative and informative. We would absolutely visit again!

Perfect for a snowmobile weekend!

Easy access to snowmobile trails right from the driveway and Aberdeen’s, an upscale restaurant with bar, is literally at the end of the driveway. Very convenient after a day of sledding. Just be sure to call ahead for reservations. Beds are comfortable and the house is well appointed. Basement king bedroom gets chilly if the fireplace is on upstairs because thermostat doesn’t kick on, but there are plenty of blankets provided. Overall, great place for 2 families to share. We had two couples and two teenagers and a toddler and the space worked well.

Northwoods retreat

This was our family’s second NYE staying here. This is a great house for families and groups. Exactly as described- very clean, cozy, all the amenities needed when staying away from home. It is tucked away in the woods, making it picturesque and quiet. The kids (and adults) loved taking their new sledding tubes down the driveway. We’d love to make it a NYE tradition for years to come!

Nice getaway, but the home needs a little TLC

We enjoyed our first visit to the Northwoods. This home is in a nice area and has a nice floorplan, but it needs some attention to detail. The good: the beds were comfortable, there was plenty of room for our group of 4 adults, and they welcomed pets. The not so good: the property needs some cleaning (especially given the management fee and cleaning fee that they charged).

About the host

Hosted by Lorrie Hojnacki

Host profile image
I consider myself a semi-local. I grew up in Manitowish Waters, with some family still residing here. My husband, Warren and I call this our second home. We have spent many years enjoying the lakes, bike trails, winter activities, and all that nature has to offer. Warren, and I are so grateful to share our home with you, and eventually will retire and spend our summers at. We hope that your stay at the Cedar Hideaway is as enjoyable to you as it is to us.
