    We recently stayed at the Lakefront log cabin. The place had plenty of room for our family of five plus dogs. Everyone loved the location and the rustic charm.

    This is the second time our group has rented this cabin. The location is close enough to the UP to take in some lovely hikes in the Porcupines. There was plenty of space for our mixed bag of humans and canines. We really loved having a bit warmer weather in March that enabled us to use the fabulous fire pit that overlooks the lake.

    Loved our stay. Rustic with conveinances. The charm of a historical cabin was right up our alley and Dave was great at communicating. Downstairs bathroom was well appointed and made our stay very comfortable.

    First I want to address the cleanliness. It is an old cabin with real logs. And it is in the country, so it was not pristine. But it was very clean in the kitchen where it matters for me. The showers were also very clean. The basement is recently redone with laminate floor and modern bathroom and clean bedrooms. Lots and lots of towels and washcloths. The main floor is wonderfully quaint log cabin with upgraded kitchen with marble countertops. Well equipped. Gas grill outside. So quiet. Used the kayak on the very quiet water. Very restful. There is a TV and internet access. Any question I had, Dave responded in minutes to my text. I recommend this property and will very possibly return.

    No complaints about the property. Just be cautious if someone has a large trailer getting through the trees at the top of the driveway.

    This is as dreamy as it looks. I spent summers in northern wisconsin as a kid and wanted to share the experience with my family. The cabin is gorgeous and historic. Beautiful lake views from screened in porch. Lake beautiful. It's fairly remote - which is what we wanted. A quiet retreat. We did lots of kayaking, boating, and chess, reading, drawing, board games and puzzles, on rainy days. Enjoyed wild animal encounters of all kinds. We had so much fun. And even for teens, it was nice to unplug. Also, best viinyl collection in the Northwoods for sure. Will definitely go back again!

    This was a very lovely lakefront home and exceeded our expectations. The downstairs was finished when we got there and had 2 bedrooms and an additional bathroom. That made our trip even nicer. The lake is beautiful and this house's location is private and quiet. We enjoyed the kayaks and fire pit. We also enjoyed eating all of our meals on the porch with a view of the lake. Dave was a great host and very attentive. We would highly recommend!

    We really enjoyed our stay here. We loved the original, rustic charm of the cabin with very nice up to date kitchen and bathrooms. The basement remodel is completely new. Our family enjoyed the front porch, the puzzles, and record player. Would definitely recommend.

    The cabin was well appointed, clean, spacious, as described. The cabin's location is private, wooded, and located on a peaceful waterfront. Mercer is a fantastic small town, and the people were very nice. It's pretty centrally located within 30/45 minute drive to many other towns of interest. Communication with Dave was excellent. Would definitely come back.
