Beyond expectations!
This is by far the nicest cabin I’ve stayed in in the 20 plus years I’ve been coming to this area. Mike and Wanda are the perfect hosts! The nicest people you’d ever want to meet! They go out of their way to make sure all your needs are met! Their hard work shows in the cleanliness of their properties. We loved everything, the grounds are impeccably taken care of, the boat house is incredible! My group and I will definitely be back, this is our permanent destination for our yearly fishing trip. Thank you Mike and Wanda!!!

Another great stay at Amazing Grace Retreat
This is our second time staying at Amazing Grace Retreat and it was just as wonderful as the first time we visited. Mike and Wanda are hands down the best hosts, making sure we had everything we needed and answered any and all questions we had about the property and during our stay in general -- They are just the nicest and most personable hosts and people! Mike and Wanda even brought over a bottle of bubbles for our two year old son to enjoy when the weather wasn't the greatest, which he truly loved and appreciated! The property and home itself are both truly amazing -- clean and welcoming and a wonderfully relaxing environment, and love the retro feel of the cabin, yet having all of the necessities. We rented the boat and enjoyed taking it out for fishing and our son's first boat ride... an experience he will never forget. To Mike and Wanda, thanks again so much for allowing us to enjoy your little piece of heaven and we look forward to staying with you two again soon, likely the next time with baby boy #2. God Bless!

Fantastic Northwoods Getaway
This is an amazing property and location. With so much of the lake undeveloped, it provides a quiet and serene northwoods experience. The cabin is huge and can easily handle more than the two of us on this trip. All of the photos of the cabin and the property are completely accurate. I always appreciate lots of detailed photos when trying to choose a cabin. All of the watercraft and equipment are in great shape. We utilized the kayaks, paddle boards, and fishing boat. They were all clean, in good condition, and performed well. This was primarily a fishing trip so we rented the motor for the fishing boat as well. The fishing did not disappoint either. Numerous species were caught on both White Birch and Ballard. The channel connecting the lakes is easily navigable. Wanda and Mike were great hosts! They had excellent communication before our arrival and answered all of our questions. The arrival directions were spot on and made it very easy to find their property. They have one of the best maintained access roads I have seen at a northwoods cabin. They were available to address any needs but otherwise gave us our privacy. If you are looking for a great northwoods experience, this is the place for you!

Amazing Place!
Wonderful, CLEAN, quiet, beautiful place to stay. Everything you need is there, and the cabin is comfy and large. Lots of stuff to do on the property such as fishing off the dock, using the kayaks or canoe to paddle around the lake. Nice gazebo where you can hang out and there are games to play there. Enjoyed building a campfire and hanging out with family around the fire. Mike and Wanda are the best hosts. Making sure that you have everything you need but also allowing you lots of privacy. Our family can't wait to come back again!

Wisconsin North woods escape
Lakefront cabin with all the amenities you could want! The cabin is on a small lake, White Birch, that has only two other properties on its shores. You can boat, kayak, fish, swim, canoe or just relax. Many hiking, atv and biking trails in the area for out of water fun. The property owners live onsite next door and are wonderful hosts.

Amazing Grace - Amazing Place
My sister and I really enjoyed our stay at Amazing Grace. Of the places we have stayed in this 40-mile vicinity over the past several years, this is the first we feel compelled to return to. The proprietors, Mike and Wanda, were friendly and gracious hosts during our stay and regularly checked to ask if there was anything we needed. The cabin was very clean and in order on arrival and had everything we needed, including the grill, which we put to good use. It was also a really nice space - - a lot of cool vintage items like games, records, books, etc., that added character, the beds were comfortable (a must for me), and we loved the two sitting areas – one inside and one outside – each had two comfy seats and a view of the lake. The grounds were nice, too . . . we were too lazy to play shuffleboard . . . maybe next time! White Birch Lake and Ballard Lake (to which it is connected) were beautiful - if your definition of beauty is a scattering of homes, mostly state land, beautiful tree lines, loon nests, low noise, and sense of the unspoiled. We explored both lakes almost every day with our boat. The vegetation is fantastic and supports a healthy fish population. We enjoyed catching and releasing bass, crappie, and muskie during our stay. I’m really glad Mike and Wanda found this place and opened it for us to visit. Great place; really nice people.
