Beautiful location, quiet and clean!
The cabin was clean and comfortable for a group of adults. Great setup for listening to music, watching movies, playing games together. Beds were comfortable and the home is well stocked. Lots to love!

Fantastic Experience
The cabin is large, beautiful and very well decorated in the "up north" style. We enjoyed the hot tub and movie theater tremendously! It was very hot and the AC worked perfectly.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you loved the cabin’s cozy “up north” style and that you enjoyed both the hot tub and movie theater. It's also great to know the AC kept you comfortable during the warmer weather. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!

Beautiful home for a large group who love being on the lake
This house is perfect for a group of 8-10 people. There is enough space and amenities for everyone to be comfortable. Our group esp likes the access to the water (fishing and kayaking), the ability to go for walks "in the woods", and the well outfitted kitchen.
Anonymous from Appleton - Posted: 6/22/2025
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're so glad the home, outdoor access, and kitchen suited your group so well. It’s great to hear you made the most of the space and surroundings—we’d love to host you again! -Erika

Wonderful Place!
My family enjoyed this cabin so much for our spring break! It is roomy, well-appointed, has everything you need, and is set in a beautiful location that is also close to so many things. We loved every second there. The kids loved the basement for games and movies. The adults loved the well-stocked kitchen and the amount of space for everyone, even on a rainy day. 5 stars, for sure. We would gladly stay there again! I will also add that the management company was incredibly helpful with any questions I had. I have rented many vacation spaces, and this management company was top-notch.
Kimberly C. from Minneapolis - Posted: 3/30/2025
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that your family had such a fantastic time during your spring break. It’s great to know that the cabin provided the perfect space for both relaxation and fun, from the kids enjoying the basement to the adults loving the kitchen. We’re especially glad that our Vacation Rental Collective team was able to assist you and help make your stay even better. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime!

Friends Weekend!
Amazing girls weekend with fabulous friends! This place was perfect...very quiet, lake views by the dock for early morning coffee, short drive to town for shopping and dinner! The home was equipped with anything you would need. The theater room was a great added benefit. Shane the manager was attentive and wonderful to work with. Easy checkin and out. We will be back!

Beautiful Vacation Up North
We had a wonderful stay at this home. The house is gorgeous and exactly as shown. Very quiet and secluded. Super clean. Lake was also beautiful but a bit weedy. Very close to Minoqua for those rainy days too. Well stocked with towels, everything you need for the kitchen, and games too!

This was a great trip. I feel like every possible amenity was available and no detail was overlooked!! We l9ved the seclusion of the home and still being close enough to be able to enjoy what the community has to offer.

Beautiful home with everything a group would need
This is the best vacation rental home we have stayed in ever and esp in WI. It was very clean, had all of the amenities for a week long stay, and the location (on a lake where we fished off the dock and kayaked) was perfect.
