Served it's purpose
Opon arrival found 2 dead mice in the house and they were not "fresh". The kitchen very poorly stocked, juice glasses instead of drinking glasses, sink stoppers not present. Very outdated. Walks leading into the house had not been cleaned of snow and ice. When we turned on the water in Kitchen it was brown so we ended of flushing all the sinks and showers. Had to trap and catch a bat that tormented the kids inside the home. internet was excellent.

Unique cabin on quiet lake
We always book a cabin that can host two families (8 people total). This place had plenty of space and was really quiet. When we arrived the place was very clean. The living room is separated from the bedrooms which was perfect and made it great for those who wanted to sleep in. Each room has room darkening curtains which is nice as well. As others have mentioned, there isn't a level floor in the place so if you have elderly folks, make sure to be careful. The cabin came with tons of extras which was nice. Two charcoal grills, a canoe, a 2 person kayak, fishing poles, life vests, a "lily pad" swimming pad, and tons of oscillating fans for when it gets warm in the house. The lake is a no-wake/non-motorized lake which makes it extra quiet. Swimming off the dock is pretty nice. Fishing off the dock is excellent for kids. There are even some small mouth bass off the dock (we caught a 4-5lb bass off the dock). Overall great. Vacasa (the management company) has automated messages which were nice. I did try and text them a few times with some questions but never got a response so that is the only real blemish.

Good location
Good location for snowmobiling. Fair amount of room in the property. Tough to find a level floor in the house.

Paradise Found - Between the Lakes
Isolating for a year due to being high risk, working in Public Health, children virtual schooling, and moving to Canada, we wanted a last hoorah in Wisconsin before we left. We wanted seclusion, and activities and this property has both. Everything you need in a vacation with all the amenities. Daughter had blister on the back of her ankle due to new sneakers, and we didn't have bandaids, the property did!! From kayak, life jackets, paddles for row boat, and fishing rod, dvds to watch, books to read, or just watching the sun set while enjoying a warm fire. I'm an early morning riser, I drank coffee nestled under a blanket watching the ripples of the water in my backyard whilst watching birds frolicking in the branches of trees. I can not praise this location more. Thank you Vacasa for making this property available for people who don't otherwise have a cabin in a perfect secluded save spot from covid. The cleaning crew of this property should take pride that you're keeping people safe during this unprecended time. Simply amazing and perfect. While our family relaxed, rejuvenated and enjoyed, I took many pictures of our mini vacation and posted to my social media page. There are three people on my friend's list who wanted the contact information for this property! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at this property!! Much thanks, The Reed Family Rob, Vicky & children.

Never again
Mouse poop on the counters every morning, half the light switches have shorts in them, gutters leak everywhere, severely needs to be updated. If these issues were solved it would be a great place to stay. Do not expect company to get back to you on message board in Vrbo app. Very private and quiet area with amazing views. Would easily give 5 stars if we didn’t have above issues.

We appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your experience, Brian. The homeowner is updating the home with the construction of a new bathroom, and pest control has handled the mice. Thank you!
