We couldn’t have found a nicer place for a relaxing getaway! The home was so cute, so clean and had everything you would need. It felt like I was visiting my Mom, a place full of love! It was right next to the many bike trails Boulder Junction has and restaurants and shops. Fran was the best host and we will definitely come again!

From the moment we arrived until we left Sweet Emma’s was clean, so very well equipped, and right in the heart of Boulder Junction. Our family was so pleased with this northwoods vacation property!

The inside of the house was clean. The outside was kind of a mess with the owner rooming the property almost daily even having lunch at the picnic table. One evening spraying deer spray which smelled awful.

The property was absolutely beautiful, just off of a small stream with a pier, the kids took kayaks down to a joining lakes. We saw deer daily including an albino. We enjoyef bonfires outside several nights. The home was very cozy and spacious, plenty of room for the 5 of us. We had everything we needed and then some. Fran was wonderful, very welcoming and accommodating. Beautiful gardens surrounding the house, and within walking distance of the downtown, the Ice Shanty and just down the road from Gooch's - one of our favorite restaurants. Hope to stay here again.Wish we could never leave. Thank you, Fran!!

We had plenty of space for our group of 7. The home is well equipped with ample supplies for cooking and day to day comforts. The location was perfect for our fishing outtings, as well as bike rides to the park and ice cream! The fairy garden was a delight for our granddaughter! Thanks for your hospitality Fran!

We stayed a week and loved every minute. The cabin is amazingly well stocked. The kitchen has every conceivable thing you could need for cooking. The cabin is much bigger than the picture show. The river is amazing and there are so many boat options right on the property. It was a great kayak to Boulder Lake. We would stay here again in a heartbeat

Comfortable house that felt like home. Fran has the kitchen well supplied so it was easy to prepare meals. Beds are comfortable. No AC down stairs but ceiling fans and other oscillating fans kept air moving. Cool evenings also made this a non issue. Wasn’t expecting the house to be as close to the main road but Boulder Junction is a small town that quiets down early evenings. Overall we had a great week!

This is the most snowmobile friendly property ive stayed at, trail is right across the street. The driveway is a horseshoe drive with more than ample room for a 4 or possibly even a 6 place to get around. Theres also a place to back trailer into when done unloading. The kitchen is very well supplied.

Sweet Emma's was a pleasure to stay at. My husband and I were in Boulder Junction for our first "empty nester" biking vacation. We were impressed by how clean the home is. There is a bike path that directly connects to the Heart of Vilas County bike trail which made it so easy to hop on right from the house. It's also a short walk into town. The home itself is cozy and very relaxing. We enjoyed many mornings watching the deer in the yard. While we never used the fire pit, we did sit on the furniture outside and just enjoy the weather. Yes, the house is located on a busier road (as one other reviewer mentioned) but we never found it distracting or too noisy. To be honest, while we were sitting outside, many people waved at us. That was quite nice. Fran was easy to work with. Her communication is spot on, she leaves detailed notes on how to use things around the house and the one time she was there we found her extremely friendly. We very much enjoyed our time at Sweet Emma's and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Thank you Fran!

The house is super clean. Kitchen well organized. There is ample firewood for bonfires. Having access to kayaking on the river after a day of biking on the beautiful trails is heavenly. We love the porch and can see deer and kayakers going by. Thank you Fran for sharing your house with us.

This was our second year staying at Sweet Emma’s. Fran will make sure you have everything you need and all questions are answered before your stay. She is very easy to get ahold of if needed. We are looking forward to staying again next summer.

The property manager had a tremendous attention to detail for this vacation home. Lots of thoughtful little touches such as multiple room humidifiers for our winter stay, little LED flashlights in almost every room (not that we needed them) and a kitchen that was extremely well outfitted with high quality appliances and cookware. Notes and instructions made using the place a breeze. The house was very clean. It is obvious she takes great pride in the property. It is conveniently located close to downtown Boulder Junction.

My family and I had a wonderful, relaxing weekend at Sweet Emma's. Our hostess was wonderful as were the accommodations. A quick walk down to the river to the canoes and kayaks and a short row and you are on the lake. The fire pit was hit with the kids and grandparents alike.

I would recommend this property. Fran really goes out or her way to make sure her guests are comfortable. As long as you don't mind the owner and other people stopping by at random times, go for it! It's on a busy road but the location is perfect - still within walking distance to town, within driving distance of many activities. Our kids loved renting the boats and going up and down the river.

We have been coming to Sweet Emma's for several years now and we always have a great time. Fran always goes out of her way to make sure we feel welcome and that everything is just right. The house is very clean, has everything that you need, and plenty of space inside and out (and we need space with snowmobile gear for 8 people and 2 large trailers) this place works great. The snowmobile trail is directly across the road and Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club always does a great job with their trails. I would high recommend this place to anyone who is planning a trip to the Boulder Junction area anytime of the year. Thanks again Fran for a great time.

Sweet Emma's is a great place to stay, has everything you need. All you need to bring is your clothes & if you plan on cooking food. The place is very very clean, Fran is a great host and keeps her place in tip top shape. The beds are so conformable. Your walking distance to town. Great place for family's. I can't say enough about this place. First time I've rented on VRBO what a great experience. I would highly recommend Sweet Emma's to anyone. Thank you Fran for a wonderful vacation. We, are hoping to come back.
