My five siblings and I (6 couples) had a wonderful time staying at the Johnson Lake Compound. First off, let me say that I have never been at a VRBO that was so well stocked and ready for our vacation. We had extra paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pods, scrubbing pads, salt & pepper, firewood and so on. There were towels a plenty. We made use of the three kayaks and the pedal boat (life jackets provided) and enjoyed going out on the beautiful lake. Groups could sit on the upper or lower patio area and converse or just enjoy the quiet of the northwoods, watching an occasional small plane fly over or a pontoon boat slowly move past. We only cooked in the kitchen in the big house, but found ample space for multiple people in the kitchen and found all the cookware and utensils we needed to prepare and enjoy our meals. There was excellent communication with the owner and I can easily give our entire experience a 5-Ster Rating.I hope that we are able to come back and enjoy it all again.

We stayed here for our annual “Up North” reunion with kids and grand-kids. Easy check-in, great communication and beautiful backyard property. Kids enjoyed the kayaks and the fishing off the pier. Close to town and quiet neighborhood.

This property was amazing for our large group. The big house was a great gathering place for the whole group. The lake was great for swimming, kayaking, and fishing.

Our family of 15 ranging in age from 76 - 5 had the absolute best time at the Johnson Lake Compound this year! We spend a week together every year and this was our 10th year anniversary of this reunion and we couldn’t have had a better setting!Every detail was thought through and the kids and adults alike enjoyed the home so much! We spent hours everyday down by the lake just splashing around on the lily pad, kayaking and paddle boarding as well as fishing! The kids caught many fish and we have the pictures to prove it!Having two homes allowed our group to spread out when needed and come together for games and meals! There was ample space for all of us to do whatever we wanted even if that was nothing at all!We can’t wait to return for another year!
