Lots of space in a great location!
We enjoyed our stay at this location. The deck and the living room were both great gathering spaces, and we really appreciated all the available seating. The kitchen seemed to have been well-used over the summer and could use a deep fall cleaning, and we thought the basement rooms were a little damp. All in all a great place that we enjoyed!

Jadon and Theresa were outstanding in helping us check in and kept the communication open. If we had any questions they responded quickly. The property was more than we expected especially the views of the lake.

Beautiful escape on Prairie Lake
We spent a 3-day weekend here to help my Dad open his tiny cabin for the season. This place has everything you need/want--fully-equipped kitchen, laundry, bedrooms, beautiful views, comfy living room furniture. Even our crabby 15-year-old terrier dog loved it!

Family-friendly House
The kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms were all very well stocked. Besides toothbrushes and toothpaste, we could easily have just packed our own clothes and food. It was so clean and comfortable that we ended up spending more time there than I expected. My boys loved the old-school arcade games downstairs. We all enjoyed spending time on the deck, the enclosed porch, and around the campfire.
Two things to note: 1) It is encouraged for people to bring their own drinking water due to nitrate levels in the tap water. 2) The dock is safe for adults, but not a place to have children spend any time on. If you want to have kids near the water, drive 10 minutes away to the City of Chetek beach.

Our lake house stay
House not quite ready for prime time. Some repairs need to be done, and needs better cleaning service. We had one problem with septic system, but it was taken care of when we placed a call to the owner. Can accommodate 10 people, but smallish kitchen and no dishwasher. Good location.
