★★★★★r>It's hard to describe how fantastic this house is; spacious, very clean, and great views. As soon as you walk in you feel like you are at home, it is always very clean, spacious, well furnished, and the kitchen has everything you need. Not only are the views fabulous, the screened in porch is definitely great for enjoying evening or morning coffee with no bugs. Met and exceeded my expectations.

    A group of 7 guys came to the area to ride in the 500 mile cancer ride on the 12th of February. We needed a place with lots of room for all our gear and a place to park sleds and trailers. This place was perfect - every day someone said we couldn’t have found a better place. The pictures and advertisements were spot on. The view from the brick house over the lake was great during the winter and I can imagine it being even better in the summer. If the cancer ride starts in Manitosh waters next year we will be back to the brick house. Thank you thank you

    Great home for a large group that has all the amenities. Beautiful lake view, peaceful seclusion and relaxation. Near many attractions and dining options. A true north woods vacation destination.

    What a fantastic, hidden gem! Our group of 10 adults was extremely comfortable, cozy, and very satisfied with this spacious, beautiful place that had everything we needed for a cross-country ski weekend! One extra-special discovery that ought to be highlighted in the listing was that the house sits across the street from an beautiful, extensive (mostly flat) groomed classic x-country ski trail system! There are other great trails in the area, but you can also just ski right out the front door! And then come home to an extremely well equipped kitchen (we cooked all our meals from scratch, no problem!), two large living spaces (each with a real-wood fireplace and plenty of wood), a huge dining room table perfect for big group games, a spacious two car garage, plenty of games and puzzles, lots of bedrooms. You won't lack for anything and you cannot beat the location for North Woods fun!! The host was extremely responsive, with great local tips, and very accommodating.

    We very much enjoyed our weekend stay at the Brick House, our first time there, and it will be perfect for our family visit next summer (2026) over the 4th of July Holiday. This visit was to check the place out and, our expectations were more than met. The place was spotless when we arrived and everything was as promised or better. The setting on Alder Lake is beautiful as are the views from most rooms. We got to see the peak of fall color and some cranberry harvesting as well. In addition to next summer, we look forward to another fall visit as well in 2026. Thanks, again. The Tenges family.

    The Brick House is beautiful! The location and private beach area is amazing. The house is gorgeous and the kitchen is stocked with anything you may need. Absolutely love coming here. This is our 4th year vacationing here and we plan to return for our annual Memorial Day Trip for many years to come.
