We had a great time staying here for a quick getaway. Cabin was clean and the views to the lake were amazing. The great room with the fireplace was spectacular and we spent a lot of time in there enjoying the fire. Bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. The surrounding area was great fo exploring. Property was close to town too.

Felt like part of the family!

The amenities in the cabin were fantastic. Everything was there that we could’ve needed including shampoo, soap, towels etc.. The lake was quiet and serene and great for swimming/wading. The neighbors were far away, giving us the privacy we were looking for. I loved all the little notes around the cabin sharing where supplies were. The water pressure and hot water were fantastic for a cabin. No need to bring a fan. They had ceiling fans everywhere and extra fans in the closet, but we didn’t need any of them because the nights were cool. Thank you for allowing pets. Our dogs loved swimming!

Nice Place on relaxing lake

Property was very clean and had everything we needed. Fire pit area is awesome, and didn’t have to start up the grill because you can cook right over the fire. Pan fish and large mouth right off the dock. Hope to be back.

Peaceful Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotter cottage on Dad's Lake. It was so peaceful and the weather was perfect for our fishing adventures, walks, nights around the firepit and exploring Eagle River. The cottage has a lovely great room that we didn't use much which is a shame as the view of the lake in the morning is gorgeous. I would suggest putting a TV in that room for families to gather and really enjoy the setting. We had a group of 4 and did fine in the smaller living area next to the kitchen, but the early morning sunshine sometimes made it difficult to watch TV. Maybe a shade or blinds could be added here. Loved our week there and the colors were just starting to turn, so it was a sight to see. Recommend highly.

OK ..but

Biggest issue was the weather was hot and the lack of ac and especially dehumidifier was problematic. Was unaware the main bedroom was on a lower level which was also very dank and musty. Found it pretty unpleasant and definitely impacted our stay! Overall we found the house to have one good main living room which was nicely furnished etc but felt the rest of the house and outside area to be less than ideal but not terrible…
