Beautiful house. Great views! Has all the amenities you could ask for. I should note the path down to the lake is quite steep and not for the faint of heart however you can drive a vehicle down it if need be.

Great Cabin

We are a group of fishermen that have been going on planned trips for 12 years. This was one of the nicest cabins we have stayed at. Had everything we have been looking for. Tons of beds, large table for all eight of us to sit, plenty of parking (with boat trailers), a dock where we parked three boats, which was a very short ride from the launch just down the street. We have this cabin already booked for next year and very well possible our go to for future fishing trips.

Family vacation

Beautiful home, although not baby proofed for 2 toddlers. A lot of breakable home decor that we had to move to keep the kids from getting hurt. Loved the remote location. Dock that guests can use is in very shallow water, had a difficult time with our boat. No power at the dock either so had to pull the boat each day to power up the trolling motor. Luckily the public boat ramp is very close by.

Home away from home

5 different households converged on the Bayside Secret for a few days of family connection. We didn’t have need of one thing!! The Bayside Secret is a fully functional home! Everything we needed was available (mixing bowls, serving spoons, knives, etc) which made meal preparation and execution so smooth. We also had plenty of room to have various activities going on as well as splintered conversations allowing for familial catch up. We went for runs and used the available kayaks more than once. There were plenty of towels available and even some lap blankets for the chilly evening.

2nd Trip to Bayside Secret

We had a group of 5 adults, 4 kids and one small dog stay there mid February. There was plenty of room in the house for all of us. The ice fishing was great and we were able to access the lake from the property using an ATV. The house has been updated with new carpet giving it a fresh clean feeling. The kitchen had everything we needed but a working toaster. We managed. I think this would be an amazing place to visit in the summer. But for us winter vacationers I do not think we’ll be back. We were all incredibly disappointed that the fireplace in the living room was off limits. Our best memories from the last trip were made in that room and without the fireplace the room was essentially useless because it was too cold to be in. It’s still a great place to stay, it just fell short of our expectations this year.

The view of the lake and fall tree colors were just gorgeous. The house is spacious, kitchen fully equipped and easy to work in. We l loved the area and we recommend this property. The only issue was the front load washer. We had to run the clean cycle becuase it smelled. We have a front loader and routine cleaning is a must.

This place was so perfect! It was so spacious. There were 11 of us. 4 families. We had so much space to sit down and eat together. We grilled alot. Not only did they have a spare propane tank, but wood to have a bon fire too. They had everything we needed. And the view! What a beautiful view of the lake. We loved having coffee on the deck and in the sun room.

Many wonderful attributes

This house has many wonderful features especially the view. We saw many eagles and other varied wildlife. The house could use some updates. Without central air, at times, the property was quite uncomfortable as there were no ceiling fans and only two window units in the upstairs bedrooms. The basement was was quite damp and dark but could accommodate many family members. The kitchen is quite dated and even simple things like a light over the stove were lacking. I think this property could use some updating but the location is wonderful. As to Vacasa - we called several times with questions but NEVER received a call back with answers. I would not recommend this management company.

Northwoods fishing vacation

The location of this property on Lac Vieux Desert offers amazing views and good fishing. The owners have generously made this house a home by decorating and providing comforts of home plus fully stocked kitchenware. Our only issue with Vacasa, which was big, is that the home was not cleaned when we arrived. The cleaning crew did not arrive until after the 4:00 pm check in. The home is in need of maintenance and a deep cleaning that seems to have been overlooked. Broken screen doors, cobwebs, carpet cleaning, and garage door opener not working. The basement bed needs a new Queen mattress as it sinks in. It is a great home, and would give it 5 stars if these issues were addressed.

We'll be back.

We were a group of 7 adults and 4 kids (7-12 years) and this house was perfect for us; large enough to space out yet still get cozy as a group when we wanted to. We stayed in early January and the ice was covered in so much slush we couldn't use our ATV and UTV for ice fishing and had to rent snowmobiles. Luckily there is a place right next door that could help us out. Having those also made access to the lake from the house much easier since it's a steep hill and there was great fishing very close to the house. As for the house itself - it was clean and well maintained. The kitchen and bar have everything you could ever need. There were a lot of "private" locked cabinets which is why were were shocked to find the wine cellar was unlocked. We figured it was a trap and left it alone. The only issue we had was that the room we expected to have the babysitter sleep in no longer had beds it in (and it isn't really a room). Now instead of a space with 2 twin beds it is a seating area with a pull out bed. It makes sense but a pull out is never that comfortable so we just moved one of the twins out of the big room and into that space and it worked out perfectly. We had a great time and are looking forward to going again.

The place was beautiful, quiet , lake was very quiet also. Our Family of 13 stayed. We were not able to use the bedroom and bathroom in the basement due to mold, standing water and black mold, not healthy for anyone. The room with all the twin beds has black mold on the bottom of the walls. Also there was black mold spots around the ceiling in the big bathroom upstairs. We found no dish cloths or towels, no coffee filters had to got out early Sunday morning to buy them. Area rug in the main living room is a tripping hazard. We did call Vacasa and Steve came out within 3 hours, ( these issues are not a quick fix ) he did offer to move us , but it would of been to a different area. (Steve was great). We stayed the week and made some great memories, fishing, smoked a brisket, pork butt, fish and just bring together as a family. Liz
