Summary: Open interior spaces great for kids, inclusion of bed linens - not just blankets, easy access driveway to roadway. Walking distance to coffee shop, restaurant, grocery, bar/grill, Rest Lake and park.

Summary: Loved the open concept on the main floor where the living room, dining room and kitchen were located. Cozy living room area where we could hang out together and watch a movie (or do video games if we had wanted to :). Large back yard with fire pit to enjoy, as well as a dock below with a boat, canoe, and kayaks we enjoyed taking out on the water. Liked the location, felt secluded, and yet near bike trail, stores, restaurants, and a unique antique store we got to visit. - A few maintenance issues to be addressed (wobbly chair, etc.), but overall we enjoyed our time there. Would consider visiting again.

Summary: For a bike trip the location was great. The trail was at the end of the driveway. Very comfortable beds and mostly very clean. The outside grill was filthy.

Summary: The location to the bars was easily walkable. If you had a boat you could dock at the park and enjoy the rest of the chain. Nice shaded back yard. Was plenty of room to park and sleep.

Summary: I’ve stayed at a lot of properties and this by far was the worst fro a cleanliness standpoint. It was also the first time I’ve stayed at a property being managed by a company. All the other properties I’ve dealt with the owners directly. Cobwebs, not enough utensils for

Summary: I arrived to find a fresh externally painted home. It is not red anymore but a nice dark brown.Nice easy access with driveway and entry.The home was clean & has a beautiful open kitchen and living space.There is access to the balcony with a grill.Loved the 2 upstairs bedrooms 1 with a shower (1/2 bath). It is a bit older and small shower which worked great.One full bath upstairs. Kitchen windows are great,however lake view is limited due to large trees.There is a nice lower level with walk out ability to the grounds and patio with firepit outside.There is a bathroom with sink and toilet and no shower.Both rooms and an opens space area with a desk were spacious.It was cool and rainy while here. The yard is great and would be a nice place for kids and a larger group.The lake front is more rustic.The pier is wonky, but sturdy. Very boggy grounds, maybe due to the rain, but access to the canoe and kayaks could get messy. If it were nicer weather I would definitely have utilized them. There was also access to a fishing boat. This is not a beach/lakefront for kids to play on. There are 2 restaurants either side within walking distance and one further down that you could walk to as well. We went to all three and they were all really good. There is a gas station nearby as well.There is "little star beach" ~4 miles which would be a great option if you are looking for beach front activity or Torpy park in Minoqua.Biking path looks amaziing.

Summary: This is a corporate property and it shows. It's obvious that there is no one that cares about this place. I've stayed at many VRBOs all around the country and this place was the saddest by far. It's like someone furnished it by spending one day shopping at rummage sales. Beds are fine for kids but not too many adults will find them comfortable. Couch needs to be thrown out just be sure to not look under it because it's gross. There were dishes and silverware in the cabinets that maybe had been rinsed under the faucet before being put away. Silverware was dirty and several plates still had egg and bacon residue on them. It is on the water but getting out on the water is not easy and you're not going to be swimming in it. More of a pond than a lake. If you're looking for a place to crash and not planning on spending much time here it'll be fine. If you're looking for a place to while away the days at a lake house look elsewhere. I could could go on and on but it's great location and that's about it. Make sure you Google reviews for Vacasa porperty management before you book. We definitley should have

Summary: Location was great. Walking distance to the grocery store, nice coffee house, swimming beach, a place to park your boat on the big lake, right off bike trail, etc. Inside the photos don't show some of the wear and tear. Pleather couch coming apart, old mattresses with springs you can feel, carpet tacks where the rug is thin, etc. Also, the description didn't match for the bikes (fewer than advertised) nor the personal water craft (more than advertised), so ensure you bring anything you really want. There was no local host. When we notified Vacasa of any issues, we got "sorry" emails. Overall, nice for our large group and with plenty of local restaurants, bike trails, lake access, etc. But not a super-well maintained cabin.

Summary: This place could be a five star property with some maintenance and better cleaning. The description is lake front, but it was more mosquito swamp than water front. The dock felt cheap and unstable. Very disappointed for my kids who were thinking they’d be swimming in the lake. Overall, the cabin was great. The beds were comfy. Kitchen was well stocked. The location is excellent! Close to grocery, restaurants, and a coffee shop. Maintenance of the property is lacking. Gutters are falling off or full of leaf debris. Which creates for a slippery deck after it rains and more bugs! There’s broken furniture (two dining room chairs) and a coach that is shedding off the pleather. The cleaning was a two star because as we stayed we noticed just how dirty it really was. We found mouse droppings on the main level and I ended up vacuuming the whole upstairs and under the couch. It was disgusting.
