We now have a double futon in the living room, bringing our total to beds for nine! (Rate is for up to 8 guests. Additional persons may be added, $25.00/per person/per week additional.

Fisherman’s stay
If you are looking to spend most your time on the water this could be your stay. The home owner is very kind, but a bit overbearing. The place is not well kempt..and the stairs down to the dock are a bit dangerous, if you are elderly the stairs will be an issue down to the dock.. For the price that we paid I would expect a bit more.

Northwoods trip 2022
We had a great stay at Laurie’s place. We found this place late in the summer rental reservation process and were thrilled. It was clean, spacious, had 1.5 bathrooms, and a great screened in porch overlooking a peaceful lake (Lindsley). Fishing off the pier was fun and pretty consistent. Laurie was super friendly and responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay awesome. She let us use her bikes, saving us on that rental. The area is fabulous with lots of wildlife. We would love to return in the future.

Rustic Cottage on Lindsey Lake
Our family and friends had a wonderful week stay at Laurie's cottage. The space is larger than it looks in the pictures and comfortably accommodated our family and friends (8 adults). The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plates and utensils. There are fans in all the rooms. The big screened in porch was a fantastic place for games, meals, and watching humming birds and flying squirrels! The location on the lake is amazing, and has plenty of room on the dock for a large pontoon boat. We would definitely come back for another week. Thanks, Laurie!

The owner is very nice and a good host. We had a great time but we thought we were staying in a cabin not a trailer- trailer has all the essentials but it outdated- the Chain is fantastic and area is peaceful- nothing was wrong with the trailer just not the cabin we thought it was.

Beautiful setting, with awesome wildlife. Deer on property each day, watched eagles every day, loons on all lakes we visited. Catch fish right from dock. Had a great fish fry from the fish we caught from Lindsley Lake. Overall great experience.

Fishing Getaway for our Group
Property is rustic but fairly well maintained. This is a mobile home with an attached screen-in porch that overlooks a picturesque lake. Except for the TV not working for most of our stay and a hole in the dock that needed repairs, (both issues that the owner fixed as soon as she could), the place was in perfect working order. Property was very clean when we arrived, (and when we left), and had everything you need for a good weeks stay at the lake. As a renter the only thing I'd suggest is a larger driveway that could accommodate several cars/boats. Property could also use a better sign to make it easier to find. Property is super easy to get to and the roads are nearly new right to the driveway. Area is very quiet and access to the lake system is as easy as walking thru the backyard to the docks below. Having electricity near the dock was amazing as it allowed us to recharge our boat batteries daily. This property is located where it's easy to access every lake in the Cisco Lakes Chain within a few minutes. Wildlife abounds here and if you like taking pics of animals, bring a good camera! Laurie is a good host and was very helpful when we had questions. Land O Lakes, WI is close so that you can drive into town to resupply at the local grocery or get gas, plus there are a lot of options in eateries that are close as well. Locals are friendly and helpful. Gas and groceries were inexpensive and if I make a return visit, it's likely that I will not transport food - just buy it in Land O Lakes. Overall a great trip and an enjoyable property to visit.

We had a great time on the lake. Along with all the water toys we brought along, Laurie provides a canoe, paddle boat and row boat. The cottage was large enough to sleep 8 of us, with most of us being adults. The screened in porch was a nice place to sit and relax while looking at the great view of the lake, watch the kids play in the water, catch up on some reading or enjoy a card/board game. With-in an hours drive you could view waterfalls, go on a copper mine tour, swim in lake Superior, and hit the shops of Eagle River (which also has go-karting, mini golf, and horse back riding). Issues we had: We asked for a map of the chain of lakes, which has several rocky and tree stump areas (there was one tacked to a door in kitchen, but we were told not to remove it), she said she'd get us a copy and never did. The VRBO add said to bring along extra sheets to cover furniture if we ever intended on leaving our dog at the cottage alone, which we were happy to do, but when we got there Laurie asked if we brought a kennel or she would provide one. Our dog has never been kenneled and we weren't about to do so in a strange place. This just seemed like it was going to be a huge issue with Laurie, so we brought our dog with us everywhere. (it worked out), The cleanliness of the cottage was good, but there were some areas that needed a bit more scrubbing; like the draw under the stove, lots of mouse droppings, didn't use any of the pans from there. Most of the cupboards/drawers in the kitchen could use a little extra elbow grease, but they weren't terrible. (She did mention that her cleaners didn't show up and she had to do it herself and she has a bad back). There were lot's of books, like everywhere. Many of the drawers/cupboards had books in them which took away from space we needed for putting our clothing and other items. Last issue, some of the other neighbors down the way were lighting off fireworks at about 9:00 pm, we were excited to watch them. The next morning I woke up to a text message (that was sent the night before) telling us to nock of the noise she had company visiting with 2 dogs and a 2 yr. old trying to sleep. There was a second text saying sorry they realized it wasn't us. It shouldn't have mattered, it was only 9pm, and you can't expect everyone around you to stop enjoying there vacation, because you have a dog/child with a bedtime or afraid of the noise. The issues we had were totally out weighed by the good time we had with our kids.
