Something for everyone
Place is as advertised. Andrew provides a comprehensive welcome document to ensure you are aware of guest expectation but also neat insights. I would recommend bring your own toiletries and extra paper towels. This place is designed to accommodate the whole family and it was so dog friendly. My dog had a blast!

Beautiful cabin in the woods
Cabin was very clean and modern, while keeping the log cabin feel. Owners have thought of everything, with little touches all over the place (seating by creek on trails, buckets to carry wood, life jackets for the boats, etc.). Offering the wood for purchase (honor system) was also a great perk. We caught many fish at the lake, saw all kinds of interesting animals (giant turtle, woodpeckers, owl). Truly a wonderful place!

Great getaway!!!
My family really enjoyed the peace and tranquility. They also enjoyed watching the wild life. The lake if very low and did not see any fish. If staying the in area and plan to fish, you may want to fish on one of the larger lakes in the area. There is an abundance of lakes in the area.

Fine visit to Wautoma cabin
I'll echo what others have said. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cabin is very nice and very well stocked. The surroundings are great and dogs as well as humans had fun exploring. And we definitely took advantage of having access to the lake, canoe, kayaks. Andrew was a fine host--on the ball with instructions and checking that we got in OK, etc. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful property
We stayed here for 3 nights over new years. Property was very clean and communication with owner was excellent. Very close proximity to Wautoma and Nordic mountain for skiing. Property had everything we needed. Beautifully set into the woods and a short hike to the lake. The game room / bar area is a very cool little area. Would definitely recommend staying here!!!

Sweet Relief
What a delightful stay! Our group vacationed at this wonderful property to celebrate a 50th birthday. We had the BEST time. From taking walks on the incredible property, to relaxing in the sauna after a long, beautiful day, you cannot go wrong! It was a sweet relief from hectic busy days. Also, on a more practical note, the beds are comfortable and the owner is very responsive. Zero complaints!!!

The lodge is beautiful, really better than expected. Andrew is a great host. He checked in at the beginning of our stay to make sure we were comfortable. He even gave us directions to the best fishing spot on the lake! I can’t wait to come back next year. The property is expansive, lots to see and do! We loved it.

Little Get Away
We were looking for a secludeded cabin by a lake that allowed dogs. This was it. A sweet cozy log cabin, a stream, a lake and lots of trails. Foosball and darts on rainy days, and a large covered porch with a comfy couch was perfect. Solidly built cabin, nicely decorated with quality furnishings. It was nice to have access to the kayaks, canoe and paddle boat too.

Hello - it was wonderful. Everything was so organized and stocked in the cabin. Lake is perfect for small children and/or pets. It has a sandy bottom that is very shallow for quite a while before you get into deeper water. Perfect!

Phenomenal Place!
The owners have thought of everything anyone would possibly need to enjoy the cabin, hut, and natural surroundings. Super clean and cozy, the family settled right in. The variety of birds was amazing! We sat for hours just admiring the many visitors at the feeders. Definately a unique and memorable experience for us 'city folk.'

Perfect Family Vacation Cabin
We had the most amazing time during our stay at this oasis in the woods. The owner of the property has truly thought of every detail. The house was stunning and we spent much time sitting out on the wrap around porch drinking our coffee in the mornings and down at the lake fishing, utilizing the kayaks, paddle boards, and other water craft and watching the kids play in the sand. We loved how the water was relatively shallow for quite a ways out before getting deeper. This was perfect for our young children and for the dogs. We would highly recommend this beautiful cabin for your family vacations. We will definitely be back again!

Log cabin Getaway
The property is beautiful, it’s nestled in the woods, as you drive in you go over a stream. We enjoyed having our morning coffee or an evening drink on the covered deck listening to the birds and wildlife. The walk to the lake was a little difficult for a few of the people but they are seniors and have problems walking anyways but they made it and enjoyed the lake. The cabin has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Andrew the host is very nice and accommodating. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Excellent Cabin getaway
Beautiful property and log cabin. Great location for a weekend away from home for our family of 5 with 3 elementary school aged kids and the dog as well. Cabin felt very tucked away and secluded in nature with no signs of any neighbors from the cabin, yet only a 10 minute drive to town with easy access to groceries or restaurants if desired. The wooded property had a beautiful autumnal appearance and we took advantage of the kayaks and paddleboats, but we'd love to come back in the summer to actually go for a swim in the shallow, clear lake. The place was definitely as described and as pictured. We had no issues throughout our stay, however, I can say that the host Andrew was great with communication quickly responding to texts as we prepared for the stay and welcoming us/checking in once we arrived. Overall the trip was just what we needed and we would definitely return!

Best Vacation Ever!
We had an amazing week! We spent most of it at and on the lake with all there was to do (paddleboats, kayaks, paddleboard, dock) where we swam, fished, and boated! We also slept a lot (on the porch and in hammocks), ate alot (cooked most of our meals there), and played many cornhole games. We made plenty of fires and had s’mores, played in the hut, walked the trails both night and day, and gazed at the stars at the lake! We also ventured into town for ice cream and pizza at Christiania’s-fantastic! We loved it so much we are booking this amazing home again! Thanks Andrew for checking on us and working with us
