Absolute great long weekend!

Everything about this VRBO is fantastic. We all slept well, beautiful sunsets, updated property. The dock area and slide is nice and weed free. The Lily pad/magic carpet was a hit with the kiddos. We enjoyed our time here and would stay here again without hesitation. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Perfect Lakeside Getaway

We recently stayed at this cabin on Shawano Lake and had an amazing time!The location couldn’t be better — the cabin sits just steps from the water with a private dock that's perfect for fishing, swimming, or just relaxing with a cup of coffee in the morning. Being right on the lake made it so easy to enjoy water activities without ever needing to pack up and leave the property.The accommodations were excellent — the cabin was clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed. There was plenty of room for our group of six adults, with comfortable beds, a spacious living area, and a great kitchen for cooking meals together. It really felt like a home away from home.This is the ideal spot whether you're looking to unwind or explore the area. We’re already talking about coming back next summer. Highly recommend!

Perfect Place for Family Fun-cation!

My family of 4 adults and 5 children stayed here for 4 nights and couldn't have asked for a better place. It was laid out perfectly for inside and outside group fun, as well as quiet sleeping areas. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming, and had such a great variety of amenities that we all enjoyed. The kids were never bored, and slept so well after a long day of play, which gave the adults time to relax as well. It was just prefect and we would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful property that met my needs while ice fishing. There was plenty of space to store my gear in the shed, and recharge other equipment near the door w/o overcrowding the living space. I was able to park my trailer on the grass and utilize street parking for my truck. Beds, bathrooms, and kitchen were all clean and updated.

This was our second time renting this property on Shawano Lake, and it was as wonderful as the first! The weather was not as cooperative this time, but we had plenty to do with all the games, large TV for movie time, fire pit, and all the outside amenities when the weather was nice enough to hang out by the lake. The location is perfect for sunsets and bird watching. Loved it!

Exceeded our Expectations

Thank you Kyle and Jenny for sharing your cabin with us. It exceeded our expectations. The cabin was clean and inviting upon arrival. We were able to enjoy the kayaks and paddle boards. The cabin’s living area is big enough that everyone could gather while meals were made and the kitchen is very well stocked. Definitely a place we would rent again!
