Great family vacation spot
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our stay. The property is fairly secluded from the neighbors. They have a grills, both charcoal and gas, outdoor table and chairs, fire pit, swingset with some toys underneath, kayaks, a pier to fish off of, and a place to park your boat. They even had a wagon by the garage to carry your supplies from the car to the house. This is located right on the Eagle River chain very close to the marina downtown. The hosts are very welcoming. It was exactly the vacation we were looking for.

Perfect for Families
We had the best time here. It was a great time to unwind and relax. It was clean and everything our family needed. Our boys loved playing on the outside platform and swings. They also loved to just run around and explore outside! The dock access was perfect for early morning fishing. The boat was also great for evening fishing. We had a bonfire two different nights. The fire pit was perfect, and we appreciated all the wood that was provided. Jeff was very easy to communicate with and answered all of my many questions. He gave us some great activities to do with our kids. We had the best time here, and we would definitely return again.

Great property! Great location! Great Amenities!
My wife and I visited Eagle River to celebrate our 1st anniversary and this was one of the best rental experiences we’ve ever had. Jeff was super communicative and accommodating throughout the booking process and the stay. The property was clean and well kept. It is prefect for a couples weekend get away and could easily accommodate a family with kids. The location was better than I expected. You get the waterfront, northwoods, feeling with the creature comforts of town just a short drive away. There was a large grocery store & Walgreens about 4 min away. We could get anywhere in Eagle River by 10min or less car ride. Downtown Eagle River was about a 15-20 min walk. We also had our side by side up there and the trails were accessible right from the driveway. It was awesome that we could take the side by side downtown as well. The truck didn’t move much from the day we got there to the day we left. The property would be great for someone with a boat as well, unfortunately we decided against the boat as you never know the Sept weather in northern WI. Lastly, the amenities the property provides are really great! There were 2 grills, one gas and one charcoal. The fire pit was fully stocked complete with firewood/kindling, chairs, and pokers for s’mores or hot dogs. Kayaks and paddle boards were available. The dock provides a great place to tie up a boat or drop a line and enjoy a morning cup of coffee. I just want to thank Jeff and family for making our trip memorable! Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll have many more satisfied customers. We can’t wait to book again!

Fantastic rental
Our family has a rich history with the Eagle River area. My great uncle was born and raised, my dad has been coming up yearly since he was an infant (60+years ago), and his parents and grandparents before that. An annual visit has been tradition for my sister and I since we were infants as well and we continue that as we both grow our families. We are always excited to try out a new rental, and Jeff and Abbey’s place did not disappoint. From the moment of booking, communication with Jeff was top notch and he was quick to respond with answers to any questions we might have. Check in was a breeze and the house was very clean. The bathrooms are updated, kitchen well stocked, and comfortable beds. We didn’t really need the air conditioning, but it was nice knowing it was there if needed. When at the house, we spent most of our time around the amazing fire pit and our young son really enjoyed running in the spacious yard and playing in the sandbox and on the swing set. The location is perfect, with just a quick boat ride you’re cruising the lakes in no time. Eagle watching was great, we saw at least 20 throughout our week plus stay. Our 3yr old had the most success fishing out of any of us, and my dad loved the ability to rent out their aluminum boat. We are hoping our schedules allow us to come up again next year for 2 weeks, and we will without a doubt be booking again!

All that we hoped for, and more, in a 5-day vacation!
Jeff promptly replied to all questions. We enjoyed the privacy, peacefulness, cleanliness of the cottage and the abundance of wildlife. Campfires by the water, excellent fishing and the quaintness of Eagle River shopping just minutes away were all that will bring us back in the future. A great vacation followed by a huge fish fry. Thank you Jeff & Abbie!!

Pretty, Wooded Waterfront Location & Dock w/ Big Yard, Fire Pit, Play Set Close to Town Amenities
My husband and I (plus our dog!) really enjoyed our week in Northern Wisconsin! We were fortunate to find this place, especially because we were late in planning our get-away. The owners were great at communicating with us, and were eager to help us have a wonderful time in their cute cabin. It was obvious that they are very conscientious people who want their home to be a pleasant place for you to stay. Pride of ownership showed. Jeff, the owner we communicated with, was on top of every detail, and provided all the information we needed to have an excellent stay at their property. We were able to check in easily, and found everything in the cabin clean and ready for our week. I really wanted to stay somewhere that had clean bathrooms, and I was NOT disappointed! The bathrooms have been updated, and the powder room had really nice storage for all your toiletries, which was a plus for me. I was also appreciative of the place having a washer and dryer, in addition to all the other amenities you would expect a rental property to have. The tv was nice and worked well, and the furniture, including the couch, loveseat and beds, were comfortable and clean. I think that is particularly important to note, because even though we could bring our dog, you wouldn't have known it was a place that would accommodate pets... i.e. it did NOT smell of animals or LOOK run down by pets, as sometimes happens in rentals. We were also lucky, and pleased we had access to recreational toys while here, including 2 nice bikes, kayaks, paddleboards and a fire pit (We LOVED the Fire Pit!) with comfortable chairs. There was a great outdoor play set, as well as a nice selection of toys if you happened to have young children in your group. The yard was huge and provided a great place to play with our dog, who loved the area. We also enjoyed the deer we found wandering the area and property. We rented the fishing boat from Jeff, and it worked well for us. You can fish and see a lot of different bodies of water from heading in either direction from this cabin, which was nice. The location was close to town and we found that to be a benefit - very easy to get supplies and enjoy dining out as well as shopping a bit in the cute town of Eagle River. The best of both town and country in our opinion! We would stay here again. Thank you to the Lang family!

Cute place
This was our first time renting a cabin. It could not have been easier, the owner was very responsive to any questions we had. The cabin is perfect little getaway. The beds are comfortable the location is great. You feel secluded yet your right in town. We had eagles wake us up every morning and a deer family come visit at night. Would definitely rent this place again next time we go to Eagle River.

Ok for a short vacation but Not if a longer one!
Pros: cute house, shabby chic decor enjoyed by the ladies; on the River; close to My Boat Club; clean as a hotel would clean; nice fire pit & wood for use; kayaks/stand up boards there; toys for small children/play set outside nice! Cons: garbage cans at end of drive full upon arrival; cut grass not mulched so tracked inside 1st 2 days; advertised 2 full baths but only 11/2, & shower footing felt unsteady; unsafe stairs railing (wobbly) down to pier/ tree roots do not give steady footing so I needed to “jump” onto pier. SUGGESTION: create a paved/stone pathway from the driveway all the way to the front slab of the house since it’s a long ways to drag luggages in wet/dewy yard which will also create a more cottage like effect.

Great Family Getaway in the Northwoods!
We had an amazing week! The house was perfect for us! Between all the fresh air and the super comfortable beds - we had some of the best nights sleep! We absolutely loved the view every morning and enjoyed using the paddle boards and kayaks. The large yard and open space was perfect for playing yard games/catch. We had fun fishing off the dock and enjoyed s’mores by the campfire while overlooking the River in the evenings. The location was very convenient…only a few minutes from town, yet we still felt nestled in the northwoods, which was the best of both worlds. And…I can not say enough about Jeff, the Owner. He went above and beyond. Super responsive to any questions we had and very helpful. We look forward to staying again!

Relaxing and Very Accomadating
The owners were spectacular. They were very accessible by phone, email, text, and very willing to offer up anything we needed. Had some bad storms roll through and they were able to provide ideas for accommodating us in inclement weather. The place is super clean, and comfortable. The property has great shade but also access to the sun whenever you need it. The fishing is fun off the pier and kids would have a blast here. The property is right on the river and out of town a little bit which was nice. We were able to get away from hustle and bustle but could still jump on the bicycles to go grab a bite. We explored the chain on a pontoon and a fishing boat. It was great experience and there is a lot to see and do. Many restaurants and bars accessible from the water. We had a great time celebrating our 7yr wedding anniversary here. We would come back in a heartbeat!
