The large lake house was very clean and had many features that our group of 12 really loved:
~Lake house was BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED - very "Up North" feel
~6 bedrooms (2 of 6 were Master Bedrooms) & additional Futon beds
~5 Bathrooms- great for our large group
~One table big enough for ALL OF US to enjoy meals/cards at as well as a 2nd table in the kitchen and a table out on the deck
~Large deck with various seating options and an outdoor fireplace
~firepit for roasting s'mores
~large pier: kids had room to swim, fish and we had room for the pontoon we rented from Watercraft sales. (There was a pontoon tied at the pier, but it didn't impact our use of the area)
~Kayaks, lily-pad, tube & canoe were enjoyed by many of us
~Kitchen was VERY WELL equipped with everything we needed including plenty of space to store food items and it was very helpful to have a 2nd fridge in the lower-level storage area
~plenty of towels but just in case 2 washing machine/driers
~Lots of games, a pool table and darts...we never even once thought of putting a tv on during the week
~large driveway for vehicles (we saw lots of deer, turkeys and even a BEAR ((so cool)) cross the long driveway)
~garbage dumpster on site (we took recycling fifteen minutes away to Three Lakes Transfer Station @ 1313 South Big Lake Loop Rd....no need to sort and free to drop off and most importantly keeping it out of the landfill- check hours online)
~Little grocery store in Three Lakes was close when we needed things and didn't want to Eagle River or Rhinelander. We also found a few cute stores in town. #supportlocal
While there were many, many great things about this property it is new rental, and we noticed a few things that were minor or are still a work in progress (three rooms didn't have dressers, water pressure issue in one bathroom etc.).
We did have #1 major disappointment/complaint with the rental: the walkway to the lake.
~ At the time of our stay (end of July 2022) the path to the lake was extremely difficult to walk down and down due to the rocks that were on the walkway. The rocks were loose, large and slippery. We intentionally avoided them in the morning (dewy) and after the rain. Daily, we resorted to driving my father back and forth to a nearby boat landing so he could enjoy boat rides with the family. There were times when some in our party wanted to go by the water but opted not to -due to the state of the path. We did inform the property manager of this matter and we hope the homeowners are going to improve this important feature for future guests. Kudos to vacasa management for responding immediately to our concern call.
We really loved this property (overall owners did a great job furnishing) and if the walkway issue was resolved we would without a doubt be interested in renting it again in the future.
