Clean, very old & dim with minimal maintenance, master bedroom double bed sat almost on the floor, 2nd bedroom very small. Pier was inaccessible due support failure. Overpriced
Awesome cabin. BUT, Iâd bring clean water with you. Wife had more of an issue than me on that one.Loved not having a tv.Phonograph was awesome.Crazy record selection.Only disappointment I had was the grill.Propane grill with one (of two) knobs gone.Thought no issue till I was going to turn the propane tank on.There wasnât a tank.If I knew that I would have brought one.Sucked.
If you are looking for an actual Northwoods experience, this is the place. I have been visiting the Northwoods of Wisconsin since 1992 and have stayed at many locations. All have their pros and cons. Pros: It is located on a great lake for fishing and is close to other attractions, such as waterfalls and touristy towns like Boulder Junction. Cons: Bring your own drinking water, as the rust is severe on this property, which is typical. Oh, the mosquitos are the state bird up in Valis County, and again, that is just par for the Northwoods. Bottom line, I will be going back to Idyllic this year. Chris has made the cabin very dog-friendly.
The home is in a beautiful setting and fit all of our needs for a few days of ice fishing and relaxation. 5 stars in this category. The water on the other hand was not so great. I understand it's in iron country but it was pretty gross both stained and smelly. We could not drink the tap water, didn't feel clean after a shower, and bought gallons of water from town to drink and cook with. I suggest the owner do better at maintaining the filtration system or install a more robust one that can do the job. If not then be very clear in the listing that the water is virtually unpotable and to bring your own. I don't like giving negative reviews but this is the truth.
We love this Cabin! Very Clean! Spacious and perfect place to relax and enjoy the Northwoods! Chris is fantastic, very responsive, generous and kind. We love our trips to the Northwoods! Will be back!
We loved our week at the cabin and hiking the old growth forests of the Northwoods and U.P.! The cabin is spacious and well equipped with all that you need for a relaxing stay. The night sky is brilliant plus we had the bonus of experiencing the northern lights during three nights of our stay! Chris is a responsive host but we really had no issues throughout the week. We hope to return in the future!
