Family Vacation
We had a great stay and Jeff was great to work with. The house was clean and ready for our arrival. It was roomy and plenty big enough for our group of 7. Fishing was great right off of the pier. Perhaps a couple of the mattresses could be changed out in the future, but overall, the house was great and we would definitely visit again.

Perfect lake house
My family had the best weekend relaxing here! The house is plenty big for our family of 8 adults. The sunsets and sunrises were beautiful. We loved sitting around the fire pit at night and swimming in the lake during the day.

Overall nice stay on a quiet lake
We stayed at this Lost Lake location for the first week of August for a family vacation and generally found the property to be adequate for our family's needs. The house can sleep a lot of people and had a good kitchen and common spaces. The house could benefit from some updates and maintenance, but ultimately did fine for us for our stay.

Wonderful Lake Stay in the Northwoods
I have been renting various properties through VRBO for decades! This house is warm and inviting with lovely views of the lake. We love to cook as a family and the well-equipped kitchen and dining areas accommodated us all (11 and a two-year-old) nicely. The dock area was accessible for our boat and kayaks and we had a flotilla of Fluzzles (interlocking modular tubes) anchored in the bay area at all times. Nice sandy bottom on the lake. I would recommend this property for larger families who like to be all under the same roof and our host Jeff was very approachable and available if we had questions. A good time was had by all!

Not as good as anticipated
One bedroom did not have A/C. The toilet was clogged for a few days due to a pump issue in the septic system. The A/C froze up and leaked through the ceiling from the second to first floor. The neighbors are pricks. We literally had a leash for a dog and someone let it out of the cabin by mistake and the neighbors reported us instead of speaking with us as adults. No easy entry into the water. My sister had a hip replacement and it was impossible for her to access the lake without a step stool. Not enough trash bins. Lots of dead trees along the driveway, a high wind would knock them over onto a vehicle. Driveway is very narrow and windy making it difficult to back a boat or utility trailer.

Very accomodating stay
Everything was wonderful! Only complaint was that the heater didn't seem to work in the living room area (the weather was unusually cold the first few days) and the listing said linens were included, but that didn't include any towels. Contact with owner was easy and we were able to get mini issues resolved quickly. What a nice and comfortable cabin...and it really is right near the water!
