We really enjoyed our visit. The property was just as pretty as the pictures. The view from the living room and dining room onto the lake was great. The screened in porch was great and had great views of the property and the lake.

Great family vacation

This place was just perfect for a family vacation. The property is very well kept and the grounds are very nice. Close to a place to dock your boat. You can ride to a nice sandy beach, ride the river chain or fish. Close to a great brewery and downtown Manitowish where they have lots of biking trails. Will definitely come again.

Nice condo in the northwoods

This is a nice property in a beautiful setting. The condo is comfortable, but needs some upgrading. We stayed at the same property 2 years ago and other than new carpeting, the furniture, etc has remained the same.

We’ll be back, the perfect location

Easy to book, the place was even nicer than the photos. Vacasa told me there wasn’t a washer and dryer but to our surprise, there was!! Clean, seemed like brand new towels and linens. The place was immaculate, the carpet seemed new too. The location couldn’t be any nicer, close to WinMan trails for mountain biking, lots of great restaurants including the Oak Grill right on the property. We had a guy from Northwoods EFoil come to our location to give us EFoil lessons right off the dock area, bald eagle flew over. Just wonderful. The kitchen is large, everything worked, comfy, TV and fireplace all nice. We will stay here again

Nice place but listing inaccurate

No washer and dryer, despite being listed as amenities, which was a significant problem as packing was done based on the expectation to do laundry.

Great Location

We really enjoyed the location and being able to be on the lake everyday for some great sunsets. There was no washer/dryer, though, and the kitchen did NOT have very many items to cook with. We ended up going out and buying a new frying pan and some food storage things. No good bowls to cook with, we ended up having to serve some of our dinners in the cake pans that were there since there were no bowls. We've stayed in many rentals in the past and one would think there would be a better stocked kitchen than what was available. Cleaning could be improved, found a few areas that seemed to not be cleaned well from the previous occupant. The lock on the door to get in and out was difficult to use and finicky. Also note, you are supposed to pay to use the pool on-site everyday, per person, so don't miss that. Fireplace also didn't work. I texted about it, but never received a quality answer on how to get it to work, so we never utilized it on the chilly nights.
