    Positives:1. Easy to find.2. Convenient to Boulder Jct., and Manitowish Waters.3. Beautiful lake view from most living areas.4. Well appointed large kitchen with modern appliances that functioned well.5. Very lovely cabin ambiance. 6. Vacasa Mgt. very responsive when problems arose or questions needed to be answered day or evening.Suggestions:1. Add an iron and ironing board2. Please list all kitchen amenities, such as a crock pot which wasn’t listed in property amenities.3. Please correct the fireplace as wood burning. In the property listing it says gas fireplace.4. It would be good to know the make and model of the stove so instructions can be found on line. NO WHERE was there a name of the stove on the stove.

    We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Artist's Cove. Beautiful view of the lake in a tranquil environment. Used the kayaks and ate breakfast on the deck. The cottage was well appointed with comfortable furniture and—true to its name—abundant aesthetically pleasing artwork. Bathrooms were fine and the bed was so comfortable that we slept in every morning! The kitchen is fully functional and has everything needed for a pleasant stay. Plenty of restaurants, grocery and things to do within a 5-20 minute drive. Especially recommend Dixie’s Coffee, Little Bohemia and the Guide’s Inn.

    We enjoyed a lovely three days at this home overlooking Wild Rice Lake. So fun to hear loons, see a couple eagles, and delight in three river otters that happened past! Easy access to Boulder Junction and Manitowish Waters, and the nearby network of bike trails.

    I would definitely recommend this rental! It was so beautiful and the view of the lake was just serene. The cabin was spacious, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed trying out the kayaks and the rowboat, and had a wonderful campfire to roast s'mores.

    Great house in a great location. The house is clean well kept and the updated kitchen is great. The fireplace is awesome and the internet is strong. It made for a great getaway watching movies in front of the fire.

    We loved the property. Had everything we needed. It is just how the pictures looked and even better. It is on a nice peaceful lake on the chain. We would and will book it again.

    Worst condition I have encountered. Kayaks had no seats. John boat could not be accessed. Clean only in portions. Other areas dirty and unkept. We left after not being able to stay there. Have submitted refund via AMEX. The property management (Vacasa) is not VRBO and was totally unresponsive.

    Nice quiet lake with great view of the undeveloped portion of the area. House and its kitchen worked out fine for meals and a comfortable place to sleep.
