H&H trip

Overall the stay here was amazing. Some of our favorite parts of this house was the location of it, having plumbing, and the weather. We stayed at the cabin for a couple of days and enjoyed the views and going out on the kayaks. I’ve been up to the north before and never stayed at a place that had plumbing. The weather was highs of 75 while back home in KC it was in the 90’s. It was clean and had everything we needed to cook meals and enjoy the outdoors. If you’re looking for a great spot to just stay in one spot for a few days or a hub to adventure out from this spot is great!

small house by the lake with kayaks

Appreciated the kayaks and the dock. Bring bug spray. About 20 minute walk to the nearest bar/restaurant. About 40 minute drive from Superior/Duluth. Will have to drive to a grocery store and bring your own keurig pods if you want coffee. Also, it gets quite warm in the space in the summer, and you won't be able to adjust the thermostat.

Cozy get away.

We were impressed with the spacious and clean cabin. It has a comfortable couch for reading with a great view. The bedroom was very comfortable and kept the light out so we could sleep in a bit. Very close to Pattison State park. When I couldn’t figure out the key, George was easy to reach.

Beautiful fall weekend getaway!

The property is clean and my fiancé and I thought it was even more spacious in person than in the photos. It’s a great location with a gorgeous view of the lake right outside the back door. Also close to Amnicon and Pattison state parks, and less than a 30 min drive to Lake Superior. The fall colors were amazing and we would definitely like to come back!

Nice place!

They have done a nice job updating the place. The lake is lovely and peaceful. We went around the lake in the kayaks. The smaller size of the lake meant no water skiers and big wakes.

1 br 1 ba house on the lake

The lake is pretty close to the cabin. Great spot on the lake. Bed was comfortable. Cabin is 20 min from Amnicon State Park and 5 min from Pattison. We hiked to waterfalls. Area was great to explore. Brought ribs to grill, but didn't work, as charcoal grill is a little bigger than a toastèr oven, so we opted for pizza at the Backyard Bbq Grill on Amnicon Lake. Description matched expectations for the most part.

Nice place on a pretty lake

We had a restful long weekend at this cabin. It was very quiet, despite the many other homes on the lake. The neighbours we did meet were very friendly. Duluth is an easy half hour drive away. We enjoyed touring the lake with the kayaks. If you're looking for something high end, this isn't it, but it's a great little place, comfortable bed, nice and clean and well stocked.

Quaint Cottage

George is doing an excellent job of renovating this classic Northern Wisconsin lake cottage. Our stay was pleasant and peaceful. The kayaks provide a great opportunity to explore. My first cast from the dock yielded a nice bass! Panfish also were plentiful from the dock.
