Place was great for large family

Property was clean, kitchen was well-equipped, and plenty of room for all of us (7 adults, 2 toddlers). Beach was only a mile away and our private pier was great to hang out on. We had a great little weekend getaway and would definitely come back.

Wonderful family vacation

Great place to stay with a wide variety of age groups. The only warning I’d give is to bring all the kitchen things you need as the kitchen does not have a lot of supplies.

It was very clean with beautiful views looking out of the front windows. There was enough room for all of us. We had to get used to the little steps all over so we wouldn't trip. We couldn't find a dust pan to go with the broom.

Great Lake House!

We really enjoyed this lake house, which had enough room for our large group. The gathering spaces worked well for games and chatting. The outdoor table was great, as was the view of the lake. The dock allowed us to keep our boat in the water overnight, which was convenient. We had a great time. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your lovely home!

Excellent location

We loved it! Our group was 2 families of 4, including kids from ages 6 through 12. We loved the lake access, amazing views, and comfortable living space. We didn't use the 2 beds downstairs since we had ample room upstairs. Loved having a washer and dryer available. Renting the boat for the day was fun for fishing and letting the kids swim.

We had a wonderful vacation with family on Lake Riley! The dock, kayaks, and paddleboards were favorites. Fishing off the dock was rewarding, too. Kitchen was great space as were the bathrooms and the use of the washer and dryer. Patio out front was a favorite morning place of mine as i drank my coffee. We were a group of 10 with 5 teenagers in the mix. The only.gliitch was one bedroom was listed as 2 doubles and it was actually two single beds. We'd rent this place again.

Christmas in July.

Perfect spot to take in the Wisconsin summer. Wake up, grab a SUP or kayak, and shortly be paddling around pleasant Lake Ripley, or just walk along Ripley Dr. In scenic neighborhood. Spouse grew up in Cambridge and we were able to have family from area over to celebrate Christmas in July. Everyone commented how beautiful the view of the lake was. New top of list location. Our group of six were quite comfortable. Thanks!

We had a pleasant stay in Cambridge. The house was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The road separating the house from the dock was a surprise; we thought we would be right on the lake. The house has nice decor and there was nice indoor and outdoor space for our group. The kitchen, unfortunately, was not equipped with enough silverware for the eight of us registered to stay, and we had to request more (there were five total place settings). The knives were all super dull, and all but one had rust spots on them. Jason was very responsive and brought out more that afternoon, but it was after we had to share spoons for breakfast. Bring your own soap, shampoo, conditioner, and laundry detergent because it isn't provided. The layout of the house is a little odd, with 3 private bedrooms and 1 basement bedroom that has a wall in the middle, making 2 separate sleeping areas. And there are half steps all over that we kept tripping over! The one going into the kitchen is super tricky! But overall it was a good stay. Thank you Jason for hosting us.

The property has an excellent location and was perfect for our family vacation. With the view of the lake and the access to the dock the family had a great time using the kayak and paddle board. Our group was large and we utilized the entire area. The addition of games and puzzles was added entertainment for our grandchildren.
