This was the perfect place for our St Germane trip. The house is large and well laid out. The house was immaculate. The property is perfect for adults and children. Jeff is a perfect host. He is so responsive to his guests. We will definitely stay again.
We were quite happy with the accommodations -- we had 7 adults and 4 children very comfortable -- the cottage sits about 15 feet from the shore watched the kids ski and tube - the enclosed porch was nice for mornings - fishing good caught enough for a fish fry -- would stay there again.
Spacious lake home with beautiful view of Lost Lake.
Plenty of room for our family group of eight. We had a great time boating, fishing and swimming. Beach area was perfect for our young grandchildren.
I canât say enough wonderful things about this property and Jeff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from check in to check out. Kitchen is stocked with everything you would need, plenty of space for sleeping and family gatherings. We will be back next year.
We had an amazing time at Jeff's property on Lost Lake. Our family has been going up north for a week in the summer since I was a young child- about 30 years. We have been using vrbo the last 5 years or so to find rental properties. Summerhaven was our favorite location we've ever stayed. The house is large and big enough to fit our family, and the dining/living room area is the perfect large open area for everyone to hang out together. We spent every morning in the beautiful front room that overlooks the lake drinking our morning coffee. Overall the house was perfect for us.
The backyard area is a little small, but that was actually ok with us since it meant not having to walk a long way from the boat or firepit to get into the house.
We did a lot of fishing in our week stay. This is the best fishing we have had in 10+ years!! Caught enough fish for a fish fry for 8 people and bagged more to take home!! Lots of great fishing spots on the lake. I also thought the lake was the perfect size to "get to know" the good fishing spots over the week.
Communication from Jeff was great- we had a quick phone conversation when I first arrived at the property and he let me know some important info about the rental and made sure we were settling in ok.
Overall our family couldn't have been happier with the rental, and we are hoping to return again next year!
We had a small group this year, but weâre looking forward to having more family members join us next year when we rent it again. The home was clean, well equipped and spacious! Communication with Jeff, the owner, was informative and prompt! Beautiful view of Lost Lake!
My family really enjoyed our week stay at Summerhaven. The bedrooms were all nice with plenty of room, loved having 3 bathrooms, the kitchen was very well supplied with everything we needed, but our favorite room was the sunroom with its wonderful lake views! The lakeshore was shallow and sandy and great for swimming. Our host was readily available and very easy to work with. Looking forward to staying again next year!
We had a great stay and Jeff was great to work with. The house was clean and ready for our arrival. It was roomy and plenty big enough for our group of 7. Fishing was great right off of the pier. Perhaps a couple of the mattresses could be changed out in the future, but overall, the house was great and we would definitely visit again.
My family had the best weekend relaxing here! The house is plenty big for our family of 8 adults. The sunsets and sunrises were beautiful. We loved sitting around the fire pit at night and swimming in the lake during the day.
We stayed at this Lost Lake location for the first week of August for a family vacation and generally found the property to be adequate for our family's needs. The house can sleep a lot of people and had a good kitchen and common spaces. The house could benefit from some updates and maintenance, but ultimately did fine for us for our stay.
I have been renting various properties through VRBO for decades! This house is warm and inviting with lovely views of the lake. We love to cook as a family and the well-equipped kitchen and dining areas accommodated us all (11 and a two-year-old) nicely. The dock area was accessible for our boat and kayaks and we had a flotilla of Fluzzles (interlocking modular tubes) anchored in the bay area at all times. Nice sandy bottom on the lake. I would recommend this property for larger families who like to be all under the same roof and our host Jeff was very approachable and available if we had questions. A good time was had by all!
One bedroom did not have A/C. The toilet was clogged for a few days due to a pump issue in the septic system. The A/C froze up and leaked through the ceiling from the second to first floor. The neighbors are pricks. We literally had a leash for a dog and someone let it out of the cabin by mistake and the neighbors reported us instead of speaking with us as adults. No easy entry into the water. My sister had a hip replacement and it was impossible for her to access the lake without a step stool. Not enough trash bins. Lots of dead trees along the driveway, a high wind would knock them over onto a vehicle. Driveway is very narrow and windy making it difficult to back a boat or utility trailer.
Everything was wonderful! Only complaint was that the heater didn't seem to work in the living room area (the weather was unusually cold the first few days) and the listing said linens were included, but that didn't include any towels. Contact with owner was easy and we were able to get mini issues resolved quickly. What a nice and comfortable cabin...and it really is right near the water!
We had a few bumps. But owner was easy to talk to and very helpful to resolve our issues. We would rent from him again. Beautiful view of the lake. Home was welcoming.
This was the best lakefront stay I ever had. Jeff is a great host and very prompt when needed. I will recommend this to all my friends and will come back as well.
We enjoyed the cabin, especially the front porch with the view and lake breeze. There was enough room for our family of 5 adults and 2 littles. Lost Lake is sandy & shallow.
The setting is picture perfect. There was plenty of room for our group of 4 adults and two children. Great swimming. The home is well equipped and nicely furnished. If you like to bike, be sure to ride the Heart of Vilas trail!
The house was very clean and spacious. Had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the sandy beachfront and the beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding wildlife. A definite A+
It was nice cabin on a beautiful lake. I'm sure if we didn't have issues it would have been very nice. Unfortunately, one of the beds in a bedroom had an extremely large mouse net. There was mouse droppings all over the floor and room. It was clear by the size of the nest that this room had not been cleaned in a long time. When I called him about it he told me to change the sheets myself and vacuum the floor. The owner did absolutely nothing to offer any type of compensation for us not being able to use the bedroom. He sent pest control to the house and while there they found additional mice in the kitchen and closets. Traps were set that day. We were there for additional 3 days. Not once did he ask if we saw more mice or if we were satisfied. The place was nice and it could have been a nice stay. Very poor customer service and I would strongly recommend that you not use this property.
Our host Jeff was wonderful and the property was perfect! The fishing kept the kids busy, the fire was beautiful over the lake and the roads around the lake made for a great 5 mile bike ride. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked and we kept busy on our rainy day with the Alexa for music and YouTube TV for a movie. We played board games at the huge table and had family style meals every day. We visited the flea market on Monday and found some awesome things! We even had many very close encounters with a beautiful bald eagle right off the pier.
Overall wonderful property, great host and beautiful area. Highly recommend for a family getaway!
We loved the views and nature that surrounded beautiful Summerhaven. Enjoyed lake time, bird watching and long walks. Jeff was a very responsive and accommodating host. The location of this rental is great & close to many cute northern towns. Lost lake was great for kayaking, fishing and tubing. We really enjoyed our stay!
