Beautifully remodeled, great location!

This place is even better than the pictures! The bar with jukebox and pool table was a great place to relax after catching plenty of fish not too far from the cabin. The interior is super comfortable and newly renovated. I’m already looking forward to going back!

Amazing stay!!

What an incredible property! The space and layout was perfect for our group that ranged from 1 to 75 years old. The kids had plenty of space to run around and play while there were areas where the adults could find some peace and quiet. Dawn was an extremely gracious host and communication with her was excellent. We hope to return again in the future!!

Fun, cozy, quiet place!

Stayed with group of 8 adults. The rec room was perfect for us. Music, sports, pool and the bar area was easily able to have us all sit around and play games. Living room with a bunch of nice fuzzy blankets kept us comfortable and warm while warming up after ice fishing.

Exceeded expectations

Spotless house with every amenity we could think of. Loved the bar/game room. Unfortunately, didn't have time to enjoy kayaking, a favorite activity of ours due to other plans but v would enjoy going back again. Fun decorations made it feel like hone.

Loved our stay again!

Our family of friends enjoyed our after Christmas stay on the Eau Plain, again. The garage converted to a bar/hang out space is perfect for fun times, games, cards, pool and tunes. The basement has enough room for air mattresses or roll aways and plenty of space for everyone. We missed the snowy views this year but still loved the lake view. About 25 easy minutes to Granite Peak and Wausau area is perfect for an outing but we mostky just hung out at the house. Thanks for having us again!

Peaceful and Roomy!

We stayed for a week in early August as four generations gathered to relax. My parents, my wife and I, three of our four kids with significant others / spouses, and our 3 week old Grand Baby! We celebrated a 50th Birthday (my wife), a 52nd Anniversary (my parents), and experienced a major life event when my daughter's boyfriend proposed at the campfire (Wedding will be in 2025). Not to mention lot's of time spent cuddling the new baby! We loved the place. With three queen beds, the daybed in the basement, and four trundle beds available, we had ample sleeping accommodations. The garage was a great place to hang out and play pool, play board games, play darts, and generally hang out. The back porch was a peaceful respite throughout the day, and some of us painted with watercolors. The firepit in the back yard was our normal hangout spot each night with only one night rained out. This place is big enough where you can separate into groups and hang out in the basement, the garage, the front room / kitchen area, the back deck, or out by the pier. Unfortunately the Reservoir levels had receded so we could not rent a Pontoon boat, but that also meant a very quiet week by the water with very little boating traffic. We really enjoyed ourselves and had a fun week! If you have a larger group, this is a great place!

The location and the home were excellent. Our weather didn’t cooperate but the stay was still fun with the pool table and recreation area in the home. Perfect getaway for the 8 of us. Owners were so responsive to any of our questions. Beds comfortable and yard perfect for our dog. Pontoon rental was worth the extra expense.
