Quite Northwoods weekend!

It is a very nice quiet cabin on a private lake with only about 9 other cabins on it. Lots of outdoor things to do, fish, kayak, canoe, paddle boat, campfire! Close to town but also secluded. Perfect for a quiet weekend up north.

Our Vacation

Everything was great. We enjoyed the peacefulness. Fishing was great off the deck. We hope to come back next year. Maybe a week or two later in June.

Annual Hotter’s trip

Our third year spending a week in the Northwoods! Everyone loves Hotter’s Cottage! It truly has something for everyone. We all love watching the loons, deer, fox & eagle! Our oldest loves to adventure in the tow boat, our middle loves to fish from Sun up to Sun down, our youngest loves swimming, my husband mans the fire pit, I love to paddle and my mom loves to just sit by the water. It is the hidden gem of the Northwoods!

Nice Place on relaxing lake

Property was very clean and had everything we needed. Fire pit area is awesome, and didn’t have to start up the grill because you can cook right over the fire. Pan fish and large mouth right off the dock. Hope to be back.

Hooper's Cabin is our new favorite place

We're somewhat seasoned Northwoods travelers and this is by far our favorite place we've ever stayed. Dad's Lake is so beautiful, serene, and secluded. The house was clean and comfortable. The fire pit area is great and the boats provided were a ton of fun. We will absolutely be back at this rental in the future as long as it's available.
