Relaxing Getaway

This is the second time our group has rented this cabin. The location is close enough to the UP to take in some lovely hikes in the Porcupines. There was plenty of space for our mixed bag of humans and canines. We really loved having a bit warmer weather in March that enabled us to use the fabulous fire pit that overlooks the lake.

peace and quiet

First I want to address the cleanliness. It is an old cabin with real logs. And it is in the country, so it was not pristine. But it was very clean in the kitchen where it matters for me. The showers were also very clean. The basement is recently redone with laminate floor and modern bathroom and clean bedrooms. Lots and lots of towels and washcloths. The main floor is wonderfully quaint log cabin with upgraded kitchen with marble countertops. Well equipped. Gas grill outside. So quiet. Used the kayak on the very quiet water. Very restful. There is a TV and internet access. Any question I had, Dave responded in minutes to my text. I recommend this property and will very possibly return.

Northwoods Dream Cabin

This is as dreamy as it looks. I spent summers in northern wisconsin as a kid and wanted to share the experience with my family. The cabin is gorgeous and historic. Beautiful lake views from screened in porch. Lake beautiful. It's fairly remote - which is what we wanted. A quiet retreat. We did lots of kayaking, boating, and chess, reading, drawing, board games and puzzles, on rainy days. Enjoyed wild animal encounters of all kinds. We had so much fun. And even for teens, it was nice to unplug. Also, best viinyl collection in the Northwoods for sure. Will definitely go back again!

Peaceful Retreat

The cabin was well appointed, clean, spacious, as described. The cabin's location is private, wooded, and located on a peaceful waterfront. Mercer is a fantastic small town, and the people were very nice. It's pretty centrally located within 30/45 minute drive to many other towns of interest. Communication with Dave was excellent. Would definitely come back.

On lake of the falls

I chose to stay in this cabin because my dad once owned this property, and my grandparents and an Aunt n Uncle owned the other 2 cabins. This cabin has obviously changed a lot since my dad owned it but all the work the new owner has done with it is very nice to see. The cabin is still pretty much the way it was as far as space but he added a walk out basement and is in the process of adding more rooms and an additional bathroom and it looks fabulous. The walk out basement takes you right out to a fire pit and the lake. The cabin is cozy, the view is the best and you can see the view from the sun porch and the kitchen which is nice. We brought are own kayaks although they do have ones you can use which is awesome but we have fishing kayaks. Overall it was great being up there it’s quiet and a great spot to reset(shutdown). We ate at the cabin most of the time just to soak up the beauty of the lake, the wildlife and peacefulness. We did do a trip up to superior falls and we were going to do copper peak but we ran out of time. It’s ok there will be a next time. It’s a great cabin.

Cute and quiet getaway!

We had a good time at this cabin! The property manager reached out ahead of time to let us know that cabin was ready and he was available if we had any questions or needed anything! We liked that the cabin was tucked away and right on the water! We had nightly fires and enjoyed the wood stove inside as well! We did some research ahead of time to look for local things to do like bars/restaurants, UTV rentals, parks and trails! We had a blast UTVing and used B&B adventures! So glad we booked. Thanks for having us!

Loved the cabin, setting, views, lake, etc. We've been going "up north" for many years and this was probably my favorite experience! The basement was in the process of being finished so it will have a lot more room for additional people soon I assume. We'll be going back!

Comfortable cabin on quiet lake

We enjoyed our stay! We loved the access to the quiet lake and a nice fire pit with plenty of seating. We kayaked every day, and our dog really enjoyed playing in the water! The cabin was perfect for the northern setting with an efficient, well-stocked kitchen and an updated bathroom. There were plenty of beds to choose from. We had a great meal at The Pines, in Mercer, a quaint little town close by.
