I was unsure that you could get to the other lakes on the chain. The little river (in some areas) is a little shallow but I was able to take my 17 1/2 foot fishing boat to all the lakes. We had a good time. Thank you

We had a wonderful stay. Check-in was super simple. The space was perfect for our family. The access to the lake was perfect for my mom who has trouble walking. The water surrounding the dock was perfect for my 11 year olds to play without worrying too much. It is shallow, but not too shallow to be fun. The ping pong table was a great source of fun and competition. The only drawback we really noticed was the refrigerator was a bit small for our family of 8. The work around would be to just buy a couple days worth of supplies at a time. Otherwise, even when we thought we may have an issue, the manager came out very quickly to be sure everything was resolved and ok. So very happy with this property!

Good until the end

Check in was fine. The deck is not suitable for very young children. The railings are too far apart and a child could fall through. The chairs on the deck are rusty. 2 were fixed with locks. An adult sat on another one he felt it was unsafe. He turned it over so no one else would sit on it. reported to us the furniture was thrown all over the deck. The dryer takes 3 cycles to dry clothes. There were bugs on the bathroom floors. The bedrooms were dusty and had cobwebs. The biggest issue was after we checked out we got multiple texts from the manager saying we had moved the toaster and did not put it back along with other pans. Quite honestly it is often difficult to remember exactly where each item was located. We did our best. Labeling of cupboards would help in the future. They reported the pans that had gone through their dishwasher were greasy. She complained that we used all the beds when we had 9 people insinuating we had brought extra people which we had not. There was a broken chair when we got there. I did not think to take a picture and send to the manager because we rented in good faith. We were accused of breaking it. If you stay at this property make sure you record and take pictures of everything in the house, every carpet, piece of furniture and location of every item. The location and lake were fine. I pwould never rent this property again

We had a wonderful 4 night stay. The water was warm for swimming. There's plants growing off the sides of the dock but off the end is a sandy bottom for swimming. We caught some pan fish off the dock. There was plenty of room for everyone in the cabin. The basement rec room was great for the kids. There was firewood for us to use for campfires. We appreciated the AC since it was a hot week! The host was wonderful.

Loved it!

The VRBO is on a more peaceful 5-lake chain in Sugar Camp. It was beautiful. The house is a great size for a group. We could’ve fit more than the 7 adults we had. It was a great base to go into Eagle River on some days, and to go out on a pontoon we rented from Dan Towne, who we highly recommend! He even dropped the pontoon off for us at the house’s dock! We also loved going to Pitlik’s right on the chain. Great atmosphere and bloodys! Great place to stay!

Perfect combo of seclusion and lake life!

We loved the lodge! The kids had a blast fishing and watching wildlife during the day and playing ping pong and board games at night. The layout is perfect, and the outdoor area has a perfect view. Holly was amazing to communicate with when we had questions (she is very knowledgeable about the area). Could not have asked for a smoother experience:) We will be back! A!

We’ll-outfitted kitchen, nice dock, nice stay

Pros: on a chain, so other lakes to explore, situated in a sweet little bay, well stocked kitchen for cooking with next to everything needed I could imagine (even had Ziplocs bags, laundry soap, etc), many beds, as advertised, great grill, excellent property manager who communicates well and in a timely manner, decent Wi-Fi (important in an area where so many cell carriers don’t work well) Cons: living room could perhaps use a bit more lighting but part of the nature of a log cabin, ping pong table could use replacement, but great for young kids, musty basement and beds a bit hard for my liking, checkout list seemed a little intense with charges listed at first if items not completed but after talking to the property manager, I realized they’re just trying to take care of business. The rule about not chopping kindling indoors gave my sister and I a good giggle. I guess it’s people that make us create these guidelines! I’d book again for a nice family Northwoods retreat!

Wonderful time at Chain Lake property and surrounding area!

We had a wonderful time at the Chain Lake property. Everything was clean and inviting - the linens, kitchenware, decor, gaming area, fire pit, and lake access were tremendous! Holly, the property manager, not only kept a great line of communication open with the general rental details and the check-in and check-out process, she went above and beyond when we asked about nearby hiking trails and shops, and came through like a champ when our initial pontoon searches fell through. Special shout out to Dan Towne and his pontoon company for renting us an awesome pontoon for fishing, swimming, and boating on the 5 connected lakes: Dam, Sand, Stone, Echo, and Chain. A truly memorable experience- 5 stars!

Opposite of Diamond in the Rough

As we arrived to the cabin in the middle of August, we were greeted with a strong and pungent smell of must. It did not deter us as we were excited to be up north! While giving ourselves the grand tour, we found spider webs in the kitchen, which wouldn't normally bother me but they were attached from the cabinets to the counter tops. In the downstairs bedroom we found mouse turds underneath the night stand, but again, we were up north and wouldn't let it get to us. The cabin was adequately stocked with every day supplies which helped us as we forgot a few things. The rest of the stay was just fine until after we checked out as the host through additional charges at us for not putting a few chairs back into place, leaving a shoe tray inside rather than out and for leaving the TV remote in the couch cushions. We were told it took 2 cleaners an additional 2 hours to fix these issues and she would charge us accordingly. The host then wrote us a seperate message and accused us of smoking in the downstairs basement, which absolutely never happened, and treated me like a child saying she was very disappointed. My advice to guests that want to rent this property is to take a picture of all the furniture, chairs and grills to make sure they are 100% back in the same spot that you found them or you will incur an overcharged invoice from the host. Minus the host, this place was a beautiful retreat in the northwoods!
