Backus Ponto Lake Hotels

"I went up with my family and in-laws, and this was a perfect rental for our stay! The guest house was perfect for grandpa and grandma, and then two families with 5 kids ranging from ages 7-17 stayed in the main house. AC and a couple fans that were provided kept us very comfortable on a warm summer week. Great working kitchen, comfortable beds, cabin was very well stocked with supplies, as well as fun things to do. Plenty of kitchen utensils, glassware, plates, bowls, etc. Nice collection of appliances—coffee pots, crock pot, blender, etc. Extra fridge in basement and additional smaller fridge in the guest house, so there was plenty of space to bring groceries for a longer stay. Gas grill worked well and large enough for a decent amount of food. Outdoor games (beanbags, croquet, can jam), board games, puzzles, and books available to use. Plenty of space to spread out, even on a rainy day—living room, game room, office, dining area with extra sitting space, and even the space in the garage with a fouton, a little golf putting mat, etc. Beautiful deck, beautiful view! Location was great! Quiet space, hardly any traffic, but also a very quick drive to restaurants, ice cream shops, and a grocery/market. We had a great time at this cabin and would highly recommend!! "

"The bed was super comfy, great sheets, quiet, & the AC was comfortable."

"This place really was fantastic! It has everything! Well-decorated, super roomy and clean. I would stay again in a heartbeat. The kids really enjoyed the hot tub, ping pong table and large private lakefront yard. 10/10 perrfect!"

"Wonderful place to stay!!!"

"Beautiful home. When we needed something, Alexa responded right away."

"Very nice property in great location. Not having a recycling option when you have 10 people staying somewhere for a week is a little odd but overall a great place. Would stay here again. "

"Clean, quiet, friendly! More than we expected; good appliances and appointments. Very nice setting on the Pine River, though at this time of year (July) it appears overgrown with wild rice."

"Stunning property! Beautiful furnishings inside and out, sandy bottom lake, beautiful firepit area...it was just top notch! Plenty of room for our group of 15! Grandkids had a blast in the water and fishing from the dock. Even the yard was pristine! We hope to come back."

"This place is slice of heaven. Its so peaceful and the cabin is a perfect place to relax. Wanda is an amazing host and easy to communicate with. The town itself is small but the locals were extremely friendly. We love this place and were sad to leave. We will for sure be back next year. "
