We were looking for a quiet weekend getaway for our family and this was a fantastic choice!
The cabin was very clean, nicely updated, and really comfortable. Great layout, and fun details like the air hockey table and play area in the loft were a nice bonus. The kitchen was well-equipped, and it was nice having the dishwasher available. We used the lower porch more than the upper porch, but both had really nice views and nice outdoor furniture. Beds, couches, and recliners were all really comfortable, making for a cozy and relaxing stay. The SmartTVs and wifi all worked great, as well.
We enjoyed a fire in the firepit, and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. Most of all, our daughter had the time of her life catching over 20 frogs and toads of different varieties in the backyard. There were at least 3 different kinds of treefrogs, including Cope's Gray, as well as wood frogs, leopard frogs, and American toads!
We caught lots of bluegills and sunnies, as well as some small bass. We saw a bunch of turtles, a group of ducks, and a great blue heron, as well! We visited in early September and had to watch for yellowjackets and falling acorns when down on the dock and the beach, but the kids played on the Lily Pad foam mat for HOURS at a time, and we took a couple of peddleboat rides around the small lake. The water was really nice and very clear!
It was a very quick drive to Spooner and Shell Lake, which is nice, too. We love this area and really enjoyed this beautiful cabin!
