Looks great in pictures and doesn’t look bad when you first walk in. Large open kitchen, living room and dining area. Downside… old and very uncomfortable furniture, mold on walls/doors and garage smelled horrible (garbage piled all over). Stairs into the home was hard packed snow/ice which was extremely slippery. We cleared the ice so nobody would fall. We visited in the winter so cannot comment on yard or lake area but exterior of home looked like it could use some maintenance.
This easily could have been five stars, however we had a few minor issues. To start off with, the heat in the home was not working when we arrived! Local property management was quick to arrive at the property to try to correct the issue. Required two different trips by the furnace repair guy. In talking to the property manager, I was told that this was a 'known issue' with this property! Why on earth, with the property in northern Wisconsin in late October (temps in the 34°-45° range) would you think that a defective furnace was okay for renting the home? We had touch and go heat, for the first day and a half of our trip. I have contacted vacasa, and verbo, to discuss a possible small refund for the issue, but no one has reached out to me as of yet. Other things included, clogged shower heads, iced up dehumidifier in the basement causing a very humid indoor climate, and for a fishing destination on one of the premier lakes in northern Wisconsin, it would have been nice to have cleats on the pier to help us moor our boat along with an electrical connection to recharge the boat's batteries! Also, The garbage had not been picked up in weeks possibly months! There was a pile in the garage that was easily from two or three rentals of the place! Again, this was a very nice property, and could have easily been five stars, but if you are charging as much as you do per week for rental, it would be nice if you took some of that money and took care of small maintenance issues!

Spacious place for our family. Clean except for a few cobwebs that were not a big deal. Dishwasher needs an upgrade we used it once and decided to wash by hand for future guests to have clean dishes. Heat was not working when we arrived good thing I work in the HVAC industry so we managed to get it to work occasionally to keep the wives happy. Will definitely be back in the future.
Overall the house was great. It's got a great open floor plan and right on the lake. We loved using the dock and the lake was great for fishing and swimming. The water at the house is not good. It has a very a high amount of iron and sulfate which makes the water not drinkable at all and stains everything. It caused iron stains on clothes after doing one load of laundry. A little more upkeep on the house would be nice. Some of the screens to the windows have holes which allowed us to not open up on hot days. The faucet in the kitchen needs to be fixed, sprays water everywhere.
Very accommodating with all the essentials. Loved the large kitchen and open floor plan. We enjoyed watching Netflix; reading books and playing games that were all provided. Private lot with no other houses in site. The pier is the highlight as it’s large enough and stable to sit out at the lake. We liked being able to grill out. (Unfortunately, We had to fill a propane tank as all were empty.) The downside was the house water - extremely high levels of iron, sulfuric smell and it was very hard. It affected the wash and all the faucets. I would also prefer no carpeting in the bedrooms as this is a dog friendly place and there were stains on the carpets upon our arrival. Overall, we would recommend for future stays and would love it if there was a fire pit.
Very clean. Plenty of parking. Only enough gas in the grill for one cook out.
