Been to the area many times, first stay at this property. The home is very nice--full of everything you'll need for a week of vacation. It's nice that the home is so well stocked! Everything was clean and welcoming. The host was easy to communicate with. Chippewa Flowage is an absolutely beautiful body of water. It's mostly wilderness and wildlife abounds. If you're staying here, it's a waste to not have a boat. The home sits on a narrow, quiet cove, which is nice, but you won't get a real feel/view of the lake without a boat. We rented a pontoon for the week, which we used a lot. It was a good sized boat and tying it up securely to the dock took some creativity since there are no cleats on the dock. If you're going to dock a boat, definitely bring your own ropes and a couple large carabiners. There were a couple ropes left on the dock, which helped, but it took some real effort to tie the boat securely enough to withstand whatever wind/storms could occur. A couple dock cleats would be a VERY welcome addition. Fishing from the dock was pretty good, got a few pike, a few bass, and a single perch. There wasn't much in the way of panfish, but that's okay. The firepit is really nice and we used that one night. Overall, I highly recommend this home!
