Recent Northern Wisconsin guest reviews

We really wanted to give this stay 5 stars. The good: Great location, walkable to everything in town. Plenty of room for the number of guests it hosts. Facilities were all functional, and the furniture, bedding, and towels were clean. Lots of space for parking, and access to the garage. Wi-Fi worked, and the kitchen was well appointed. Great views too! The bad: Perhaps due to our visit during -35 F and heavy snowfall, but there was a pervasive sulfur / septic smell throughout the cabin. Maybe a blocked vent? The downstairs was worse than upstairs, to the point where one of our guests slept on the couch instead of the bed. Other than the septic smell, most of the downstairs smelled like regular old wood cabin, not necessarily a bad thing.

good location

Beautiful home in a remote location right on the lake. Super clean and comfortable. Not impressed with snow removal and the rental not having the driveway cleared or a path to the house or the steps even shoveled for our check-in. No shovel on site so if you are coming in the winter bring your own shovel. We had to borrow a shovel from a friend who lives nearby. We had to shovel our own path to the cabin (8+ inches of snow, we have pics) and clear the front steps (covered in ice, very unsafe, we have pics) to get into the cabin. Driveway was not cleared when we arrived. Took 2 phone calls and finally the next day the driveway was cleared so we could walk from our truck to the house with having boots full of snow. I expect snow in the northwoods, but when you are paying for a rental I don't expect to shovel my way in with my own shovel!
