"We found our spot!"
For the past 6 years we have tested out various VRBO properties, trying to find the "perfect" spot for our family get togethers...and this past Labor Day weekend, we found it! Our requirements included: 1. Sandy beach with gradual depth so the grandkids could play...check! 2. Clear water so we could swim off the pontoon boat or dock...check! 3. Lake that's large enough to pull a raft behind the boat, but not over crowded with boaters...check! 4. A large, clean property...check! This house is absolutely perfect for our family. There are two large bedrooms on the main floor, a cute "playroom" loft above the kitchen. Then, there is the bonus space of the two bedrooms and one bathroom above the game room in the garage. This allowed my daughter with 4 young kids to stay in a separate building so she didn't have to keep them quiet when they woke up at 5:30 am. 5. Deck...check! The beautiful deck is huge, so we could all sit around comfortably. And the bonus is that it's low to the ground, so we didn't have to worry about the grandkids falling off. We will definitely come back again!

We have rented other prperties in the past, but this is by far the best. We loved all the amenities, the sandy beach, long dock, and especially clear clean water. Easy access to tne lake. Grandkids loved the game room and sleeping quarters. Thanks for helping us make memories to last a lifetime.

Women's Weekend
Lake was amazing and clear, we were able to get into the water easily. All the beds are really comfortable. The pictures don't do it justice its such a cute place and decorated nicely. Was very clean and taken care of. The hosts were very helpful and gave us details on where to rent UTV and a nice dinner. We loved both so much! Thank you John/Kim for opening your cabin up to renters such as us. We definitely loved the area and the loon was a fun bar within a few miles as well. Was such a great place for a bunch over overworked moms to stay and relax.

Great stay - relaxing, peaceful, but also lots to do
We had a great time staying in Crystal Lake. The shallow water at the end of the dock was the perfect peaceful place for hours of playing in the water. We also enjoyed fishing and the game room. All in all it was a great stay.

Spectacular get away!
I would recommend this home to everyone! It is a beautiful home with all the amenities you could need. The home was very clean and the views were spectacular from the dock that is located just right outside the back door of the cabin! My teens had a great time taking the kayaks and the paddle boat out. My son was excited to catch his first small mouth bass right off the dock! The garage will also have alot to offer once complete , with the pool table and foosball table. Overall a very memorable vacation!

We had a total of 9 of us and the hosts made accommodations so we didn’t have to sleep on the sofa sleeper. Everything was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed and more. The lake was a dream, especially for the younger kids. Great fishing and crystal clear. We played all the games, pool table, and all the water toys. Thanks for the wonderful memories!

There were 9 of us that stayed at this property. It was very accommodating and the house was spectacular. The pictures don't do it justice. We do a big trip every year and this was the best place we've stayed at hands down. The lake its right out the back door and your relatively close to a bunch of bars/restaurants and recreational activities. The host was fantastic to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure all nine of us at separate beds. If you're looking for a "True UP North Wisconsin Getaway" look no further.
