We have rented many lake and ocean houses - on the Chain in Eagle River, in the UP, on the Great Lakes, the Gulf Of Mexico, and the Finger Lakes in New York State. This one is extraordinary. The property itself is nearly three acres - you share a peninsula with another house that you can't see, so the privacy and open space to run around is really substantial. The boat dock sits at the very tip of the peninsula, so when you are on it, you are nearly surrounded by water - it's quite amazing.
You can do everything here - great sandy bottom and dock ladder for swimming; we managed to get two boats on the dock and a small one in the boathouse. Shuffleboard, ping pong in the bunk house, fishing. (A LOT of fishing boats fish in front of the house - they must know something.) The dogs and the kids loved the space. I loved the seclusion, but it's not even five minutes to town - terrific location.
We met the owners only at check-in, which was fine. They were responsive to our one need, when the wifi went down. Be warned that the download speeds (at least in our experience) may not be as fast as you are used to, as the Internet is DSL, not cable-based and the alternative - a cellular "puck" slowed after heavy. I used my cellular when I needed faster service for business, as I did have to work a couple of hours most mornings. Most trips, I would not have been working and would not have noticed.
We loved the house, which is pretty vintage with some updates from the owners. We loved sitting in the wood paneled three-seasons room, to take in the cool morning and evening breezes. Be aware that some of the fixtures, like doors and bathrooms, are original and come with their own quirks. That was charming and expected to us, but a few may have more modern expectations.
All in all, this is a spectacular place, and we hope to have the opportunity to come back here.
