Perfect get away….. in the Chetek Cameron area.

Clean and quiet, easy to pick up after yourself! We had thunderstorms come through and you couldn’t really hear them inside the house. Definitely would recommend this to others.

Peaceful

Quiet location on a wooded lot with the owners next door. It's a cute cabin and looked presentable until we actually started to make ourselves at home. Then the cleanliness was an issue for us. For example the base of the upstairs toilet was covered in dirt, there were what appeared to be toothpaste spots on the backsplash,there was grease on the microwave and the side of the refrigerator, the drawers which held utensils and pots and pans had food particles in them, and the interior of the dishwasher had food in it.. We took it upon ourselves to clean these items so that we would be more comfortable using them. The owners were easy to reach out to and great with communication. With a thorough cleaning, this would be a fantastic place. Wonderful, peaceful location close to town.

Lake cabin

Very nice “cabin” not rustic at all, all the comforts of home. It is up high above the lake trees provided shade but obstruct the view. We struggled to find fish and the water is very green over the entire lake would not have gone swimming if that was our intention

Wonderful!

Our family of 5 and our very social golden retriever were very impressed with all aspects of our vacation rental! We were there for 4 nights and wish we could have stayed longer! Rented the pontoon and fished and swam. Enjoyed the campfire pit as well. We cooked several meals and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could possible need. Janelle was very helpful with advice on things to do and quickly answered any questions we had. She went above and beyond any expectation. Will for sure stay here again and highly recommend!

Well kept w/ affordable boat rental

My wife and I with our 3 teen kids enjoyed a 4 day stay and found the place exactly as advertised, clean, and the host Janell to be very responsive to questions to aid our planning. The ability to rent their pontoon boat for several days of our stay was a key reason for selecting the property and we enjoy it a ton.

Wonderful hosts. Beautiful property. Excellent fishing near the cabin. Well equipped property.

This is a beautiful cabin as described with hosts who truly want to make things easy for you. I’ve stayed and fished at various cabins for 34 years. We all said this was one of the top five trips. Excellent fishing! Beautiful lake. Property is everything you want it to be. Our party was two adults and three young adults. Plenty of room. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Prairie Lake Paradise

My wife and I along with our Golden Retriever, Mazey stayed at this property for a retirement celebration get away. The house was clean and in a great location. We brought our 18 1/2 ft. boat and the dock was study and in great shape. The fishing was even pretty good near the house. The property owners were very quick to respond with any questions that we had. We had a great experience and we highly recommend this house and location and will be back.

Great place on a peaceful lake

A great location tucked away in a quiet area. The property served all our needs…two nice bathrooms, air conditioning, and a great deck to relax in the morning, or all day. Located on the northern end of Prairie Lake, boat traffic is minimal, next to none, on the weekdays. Janell, the property owner, was quick answer any questions regarding the accommodations.

A great little cabin up north

This is a very nice updated 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin in Chetek along the water. Very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, glassware, very nice pans and a large refrigerator/freezer. The kitchen knives provided were the best I have seen in all the places we have stayed. Great fire pit which we enjoyed every night of our 9 night stay. Loved the deck overlooking the water. Sunny in the mornings and shady all afternoon. The owner is VERY responsive on any question or issue you may have. We were very happy with our stay here!
