Family getaway

We had a great time bonding as a family here. The sunsets were stunning, and the place was very cozy! My youngest loved catching tadpoles, and we appreciated the card games available to play. We wished there were more chairs around the campfire to fit out while family

Could not have picked a better place to spend the week at. It was late season we pretty much had the lake to our selves. Wendy was the caretaker and was a pleasure to meet! Everything was clean and well organized. Only complaint was the fishing was tough but it appeared everyone else was having trouble finding fish too! Would definitely come back again.

This property was great. We’ve stayed at many rustic places and it was very clean and a great location! It’s a unique cabin but the welcome book came with history about the cabin which was neat.The lake is gorgeous and quiet. We cruised the lake on a rented pontoon (B&B delivered to our dock), fished, and swam. Fire pit was nice. Booked a pedal & paddle experience nearby in Manitowish through Rivers Edge and it was memorable. Saw an eagle both on the kayak paddle as well as on Echo Lake boating. Biking part was fun too. Locals are nice and the town of Mercer is the perfect place to getaway from busy life. My teenagers and middle schooler all had fun! We would come back again!
