Grand View Lodge
3.5 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (707)
"All of the staff were so sweet and accommodating! Our favorite go to place was Northwoods Pub for dinner and drinks. Our bartender Steve was spectacular. We stayed in the lodge, and had a beautiful view of the lake. The spa was heavenly, and the other guests there were so fun to be around. My only complaint is how quick our weekend came and went! We have already started talking about when we can come back!"

"Place is secluded from your high traffic areas. Owners are great with communication and accommodated when there were requests. It was good to understand the history of the property as this is shared within the cabin. Loons are in abundance on the lake. "

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (17)
"Shady Hollow deserves an easy 5 star rating. My husband and I stayed with our 5 children aged 1-8, and it was perfect. We all enjoyed the beach, beautiful lake view, swimming, paddle boards, fishing, pedal boat and kayaks, which was included in the cost. The lake was shallow enough for our kids to play safely and there were plenty of toys on the beach for them to use and build sand castles. Our kids loved going to the office to get a treat and talk to Diana, who was so accommodating. We did...

Beautiful cabin on Gull Lake with access to resort's indoor pool and hot tub
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (5)
"We couldn’t check in until four in the afternoon and had to be out by 10 in the morning on Sunday, and so even if you have two nights you feel as if you only had one day. The price was rather high for just one full day…. And two nights . It wasn’t on the lake but It was a clean and a decent rental unit."

Stunning 4 Bedroom Lake Home close to everything!!
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (42)
"The home was lovely. A little disconcerting to have any traps on the kitchen counter though. Tried to contact owner for departure instructions and they never answered so we just did what most vrbo renters have asked. Also, instructions regarding entry need updating. Talks about turning something but it is digital and you need to hit the lock symbol. Also, we brought steaks for the bbq seen in photo. It is a pellet stove. We are unfamiliar with that and there were no instructions. A beautiful...

"My long-time friend (60+ years) and I wanted a getaway to go fish for a week. This rental was great for the two of us - two bedrooms, a great room/kitchen combo, a stackable washer/dryer, reliable wifi and a smart TV. We were able to fish six different lakes in the week and brought two coolers of fish home. Host was quick to respond to any questions and email. If you're looking for high priced luxuries, this isn't it. But if you want a comfortable, reasonably priced place to stay for the week or...
