This is the second time our group of 4 has been here. The first time was 3 years ago and I cannot say how much it has changed for the better. The recent total renovations are absolutely breathtaking. The cabin is clean, lots of windows that allows unobstructed views of Bear Lake and the forest. Everywhere you go the windows lets you enjoy every aspect of this property. The kitchen is fully renovated as well and stocked with everything you would need. Lots of fresh towels and laundry is available. The new landscaping is perfect and beautiful. The boat house, new aluminum boat with trolling motor and dock completes this perfect cabin retreat. Fishing is a bonus with lots of bass and pan fish to catch! The host is very nice and responsive which is a big plus. We all can’t wait to schedule our next trip. Thank you for sharing your property with us. It is truly a treasure.

What a special place! If you are looking to escape and have that North Woods experience, this quiet cabin is on a peaceful lake surrounded by wilderness. We kayaked almost every night and the fishing was pretty good too. There's a nice spot for campfires and outdoor seating. The bugs were pretty bad but that comes with the woodland experience. If you have to work remotely as we did, the internet was strong and reliable. The cell signal is weaker but manageable.
