Our stay in St. Germain was amazing! The cabin was beautiful and spacious. We have a pontoon boat and it was cool to jump right on when we wanted to go fishing or boating!
The grounds were nice with plenty of room for our vehicles. The house needed vacuuming, which we did ourselves. There were dog hairs everywhere including on top of the pool table. Bathroom shower curtains and mats require replacement, all of them were dirty and gave off a musty odor.
This is a very nice place with easy access to Big St Germain Lake. Fishing, boating, pet friendly, proximity to supper clubsâŠthis place has it all. Highly recommended!
This property is a great place for a family vacation on a lake in the Northwoods. It has a very nice waterfront and great pier. We especially liked paddling up and down Lost Creek, which is just a short distance to the west.
We planned this trip over a year ago as a way to honor the memory of my mother, who stayed at this cabin with us back in 2021. She absolutely loved it here. Not long after that trip, she was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrigâs Disease), and she passed away on May 26, 2024. One of her final wishes was to have some of her ashes spread in the lake at this beautiful property we last visited together.During our stay, we spent peaceful evenings by the fire watching breathtaking sunsets over the lakeâjust as we had with her. We played pool in the basement, laughed over countless card games, and shared stories and memories. The cabin itself is very well laid out, easily accommodating our group of nine adults with comfort and space.This place holds deep meaning for us now, and weâre incredibly grateful for the opportunity to return and make new memories while honoring the old ones. Weâll definitely be back next year.Thank you, Jeff, for sharing this special place with us.
We enjoyed our stay; house was very accommodating and was as listed. Only minor complaint was there were not enough wash clothes for all the guests, however we found them later in sitting in the washing machine. We would return and use this place again, if we are lucky enough to visit St. Germain again.
We had a great stay at the cabin. The view of the water and proximity to the lake was fantastic. Great communication with the host. Only downside of the weekend was not catching fish!
The host was excellent with his communication! The house was spacious and clean. We loved the number of bathrooms for the 6 of us. There was firewood left for us to use fire pit and chairs by the water. We enjoyed a few games of pool. The view was amazing! Thank you
We loved our stay at Grandview. Listing was as described with plenty of space for our extended family to spread out and enjoy the house. Jeffrey was exceptionally responsive leading up to the trip and throughout. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to relax and unwind. Amenities are very close by as well. The kayaks provided were a great bonus and we used them daily.
Property had plenty of room and was great to have four bathrooms. Cleanliness had room for improvement. Lots of cobwebs and was apparent that a full cleaning didnât happen before our arrival. We arrived at check-in time and cleaning staff was still there. Have stayed at several rentals in area and have had better communication with property manager. Besides that, the kitchen was nicely stocked and was nice to have firewood available and kayaks to use.
Our family of 6 adults, 2 toddlers, and 3 dogs had a wonderful weeklong stay at Grandview Getaway! The house was clean, host was responsive, and the property was great. We went swimming, fishing (we brought boats), kayaking, and did plenty of relaxing. The property offered everything we needed. Itâs also a short 20 minute drive to Minocqua. I would recommend this rental and we would stay here again. We stayed August 2024.
Our favorites:
- Quiet area with not direct road traffic
- Boat launch was .2 miles away
- Great yard and fire pit area with firewood provided
- On one of our cooler days, we drove to Wildwood Wildlife Park. Highly recommend for kiddos!
- Mudroom in the basement- great for dogs and wet kids!
- Full bathroom on every floor
- Hose onsite (for dog baths)
- We never saw one mosquito while there
A few notes for future guests:
-The stairs are extra wide, which is great aesthetically, but not great for standard baby gates if you have small children.
- A few people in our party got swimmersâ itch from the water. We read a review afterwards that someone had a similar experience. Just be cautious when the water is calm and if there is any algae. This did not impact the review of the property, just wanted to let others know.
- If staying in the basement bedrooms, they can get a little chilly. Portable heaters were provided, which was great, but if you get cold easily, pack warmer pajamas.
We had a great week in St. Germain. Jeffrey was great to work with and provided timely communications. Our accommodations were excellent. Plenty of room for our family. Everyone had a great time!
This property was exactly as listed and perfect for our group of five kids and four adults. The lake access, lawn, kayaks, well equipped and clean home were all perfect! Great host, will recommend and stay again!
Truly enjoyed the stay at this vacation house! It was extremely comfortable, and as we only had 5 adults (me, my 2 sons and their girlfriends) all of us were able to have our own bedroom/bathroom!
It was very clean, had adequate dishes/pans, and a lot of storage room in cupboards for our week of food. The extra fridge in garage was SO nice to have, to keep all drinks out there instead of taking up space in the kitchen one. The mudroom came in very handy for putting our paddleboards up at night and fishing equipment, plus our dogs were able to be put in there when we were all away from the house. Kids enjoyed evening pool table games, and the front deck was amazing for enjoying morning coffee, and late afternoon/evening cocktails, or just taking in the view of the lake. We had rented 2 jet skis and a pontoon, and there was no problem getting all to tie up nicely at pier.
We truly enjoyed the time, wished for a few more sunny days than we had, but we still were able to use the firepit on non-rainy nights!
Definitely will consider using this place should we visit again, as owner was very easy to work with, and answered all questions and concerns prior to, during and after our stay!
Our family of 9 really enjoyed staying at Grandview Getaway. The house was spacious and clean, the view of the lake was beautiful. We saw deer and eagles every day. We spent time fishing and kayaking. The location was ideal for visiting shops and restaurants in Eagle River and Minocqua too. Our communication with Jeffrey was easy, and we had no issues during our weeklong visit. We would highly recommend this place if you enjoy coming âup north.â
I was a bit surprised by the number of cottages close to us, but it did not present a problem. Sleeping arrangements were ideal and a bathroom at each levelâ-fantastic! Although we did not use them, a grill and kayaks were nice amenities.
