Lovely weekend

This place was perfect for my family of 4! We wished we had more time or at least a few more days to explore the lake and just relax! The house was clean and comfortable and I was in heaven with the stand up paddle board, canoe, and pontoon boat. The lake was perfect for tubing, swimming, and fishing and whatever else you can do on a lake. Property is peaceful and private. I can’t wait to return!

Perfect gem!!!

This property was everything it said it was plus more! We booked this while we were in town for a family wedding. I definitely want to come back again when we have more time to enjoy the property but it was perfect when we had a chance. The kids enjoyed the kayak and paddle board and the hubby enjoyed being right on the water to fish The location was amazing, the host was very accommodating, responsive and detailed in their binder with area restaurants, menus and things to do, and the house was exactly as described with everything we needed for our stay provided. Thank you for sharing your amazing property with our family! We hope to be back when we visit family again!

Relaxing, peaceful

Don't expect to fish or swim directly off dock. Too shallow, mucky and weedy. Good sized hill to get down to the lake. And could use a new couch. Not complaining, just info I wish I'd had.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a fantastic weekend staying at this charming, very clean cabin on Long Lake. It was so peaceful and relaxing. It had everything we needed. We got a lot of use of the canoe, kayak and paddle board that were provided. We loved sitting on the deck playing games and enjoying the view. We also enjoyed going for long walks in the morning.

Very nice and relaxing

The cabin was wonderful. Bigger than we anticipated. The lake was beautiful and almost crystal clear. Swimming from the dock was not possible but once you got back not the middle of the lake the water was amazing. We did not fish during our stay but we did see a lot of fish and the lake would be a great place to fish! There are some big ones in that lake! Anna was an amazing host and very easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We will probably be back in the summers to come. Also onsite laundry was amazing!

This must be the best lake cabin in Wi.

We have enjoyed several week-long stays at the red cottage. It has been a great way for family to gather. We appreciate the pontoon rental add-on, and noted the nice new upholstery on the seats this year. We highly recommend.

Great Memories

This was one of the best family vacations we have ever had. We hated to leave and can’t wait to come back! The lake was so clean and was great for fishing or swimming. We did a lot of both! The town was fun with a lot of great restaurants. Everything worked great at the house and fit our family of 5 perfectly.

Clear Lake Getaway!

This was such a cute place to stay! You can see the lake right from the living room. My partner and I enjoyed using the canoe on Long Lake, where the waters are so clear we saw fish and even a snapping turtle! The Queen bed was comfy, however it's pretty noisy if you move at all while sleeping.

Autumn Getaway

We enjoyed staying at this Vrbo. We liked the fire pit to enjoy a little campfire while making s’mores and viewing the beautiful stars above. We had a very calm morning on the lake and took out the canoe and had fun looking for fish as we paddled along. We stayed with two adults & 2 children under 10 years old and we liked the location—things to do on site as well as within 15-20 min drive. Thanks for the nice weekend!

Another peaceful stay on Long Lake

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd stay here at this Long Lake cottage. The kids enjoyed fishing, paddling, boating, & jumping off of the high dive dock. I most enjoyed seeing all the different wildlife. Turtles, blue heron, eagles, & many different types of birds. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your slice of paradise this week!

Scenic Stay

Perfect place for our fishing weekend. Comfortably fit 4 adults and a child. Everything was clean and in working order. Wifi was a huge benefit as the cell service is not great. Amazing and relaxing views from both the deck and the fire pit area. Perfectly tucked in a small bay on the lake keeps things quiet and peaceful. Anna was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Anna

Host profile image
I am a lover of nature, enjoying the outdoors and making a difference in the world. My family and I are excited to be able to offer our charming lake cottage with others. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We believe that spending time in nature with those we love feeds the soul!

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love this area and have for many years. (We permanently live only 10 minutes away from the lake cottage). We immediately fell in love with the cottage and the quiet, natural setting. We knew what an outstanding lake it is on, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to have a lake cottage for our family to use, while also being able to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

You can enjoy being on an outstanding lake, while tucked away in a quiet bay. There is less boat noise where our cottage is located. Because it is a more natural setting, with many aquatic plants nearby, you will see more fish and birds off the dock. Night time is extremely quiet. In the off season, you may be one of the only people around. You will enjoy serenity at its best!
