We had the best time staying at this cabin in Barnes! There is plenty of space to spread out and the place has everything you need! The hosts were amazing at getting back to us and making sure we had everything we needed! Loved our stay and would defintely come back to stay here again!

The property was fantastic! It had everything that you could ask for. Pretty setting!!!

Beautiful spot and awesome cabin. Wonderful neighbors that will bend over backwards to help you. The cabin was super clean everything was comfortable. Beautiful deck awesome fire pit. Plenty of firewood. Definitely would stay there again. Everything you would want just like at home. Beds very comfortable. It was awesome

Lake is beautiful and the tree turning are amazing. Great place to rest our heads at night.

Wonderful place to stay. Close to everything you need to enjoy the Northwoods.

Beautiful lake rental!! Everything was clean, tons of room, so much fun in the water, relaxing! Would 100% stay here again!

Property was nice and lake amenities were great. All had a great time.

Great place to go relax and enjoy the great Northwoods! Mike and Jen are wonderful hosts! Property is well maintained and exactly as advertised. We would definitely book this property again.

Great place away from the "rat race". Very peaceful. Had everything we needed.

We enjoyed our stay at this rental! It had everything we needed for our long weekend. Beautiful property and excellent communication with the owners! Would love to see it again in the summer!

Great little cozy cabin! Enjoyed our stay and owner was great!

The perfect location to explore Bicheno. Loved the outlook over Waub’s Bay Beach and we spent lots of time enjoying drinks and nibbles at the private picnic bench. Really comfortable beds and loads of towels which was really appreciated. The open fireplace was gorgeous. A solid well loved cottage with everything you need. The driveway looks spectacular but the foliage does scrape against the car as you drive in- otherwise an easy and perfect stay.

Mike was always prompt in communication before, during, and after. He made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay the BEST! Neighbors in both sides were amazing! Views are beautiful! Hoping to make it up for the summer! Thank you soooo much for everything!

Great spot on the lake. Close to the snowmobile trails and ice fishing was great infront of the cabin!

Comfortable and clean. All good.

We stayed for a long weekend of snowmobiling, both the cabin and trails were excellent. Very clean cabin and great communication. Appreciate it!

The weather was drizzly, with morning snow, but we had tons of fun watching scary movies and playing games. We love this property!

We really enjoyed the location and the home. We already booked for this fall.

Was perfect for our needs. Host was great on communication and neighbors were there if needed.

The house worked perfect for a few friends to get to together and do some snowmobiling in the north woods

This was the perfect cabin for our group of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids)! The home was clean and smelt great! They had all the kitchen items you would need! They property was gorgeous with beautiful view of the lake. Icing on the cake Mike and Jenny were an absolute treat to work with. Looking forward to renting again next year! Thank you Jenny and Mike!

We had a great time at the Island Lake home. The lake is so serene and the outdoor deck and firepit were perfect for the cool fall evenings. The neighbors were super friendly and helpful! The large kitchen, 3 bedrooms and extra futon, as well as 3 bathrooms, provided plenty of room. There are stairs inside the home and a few outside that may pose a safety issue for those with mobility issues. Would definitely stay here again.

The moment we saw pictures of the property, our gut feeling was this was the place we were looking for. After a week-long stay, our thoughts were confirmed: we’re definitely booking again for next year. Nestled down from the main road and at near water level. Mike and Jenny’s place is one of, and maybe the only, houses on Island Lake that you don’t have to walk down a hill to get to the water. For us, that was a big deal. Once at the water’s edge, there’s a good sized sandy beach, a wooden patio with comfy seating, and a fire pit with plenty of space for seats. We spent almost everyday down there, and even ate dinner there a few nights. Having three kids, ages ranging from two to nine, it was important to have a swimming area with a gradual walk-in to the water. I’m 5-9 and I could walk out to the edge of the dock, and the water would be up to my chin. Perfect. That water was plenty deep for all of us to jump off without the fear of the water being too deep. We could see all the way to bottom, which was soft and sandy. We brought some of our own toys but Mike and Jenny provided many of their own. We used a lot of them, too. The kids loved the paddle boat. I took out the kayak everyday. The fishing rods, backyard games, the life jackets, we used it all. The house has its quirks and we loved it. Yes, there was a little mold around the tub, and yes, the tub’s drain plug doesn’t seal. But those are minor and easily fixable. The kitchen is large with lots of counter space for meal prepping, plopping things down on, etc. And it’s stocked with everything you need to cook or bake. Except for a blender…but Mike is already on it. There were lots of blankets, pillows, and plenty of space to get comfortable and relax. When we arrived we were greeted by two of the nicest and best dogs ever—Renny and Sassy. The kids fell in love with them immediately. They’re the neighbor’s dogs, Lisa and Reid. I love my neighbors where I live, and I wish I could be their neighbors because they’re the nicest and most welcoming people. I look forward to seeing them again. Lisa and Reid, too. 😉 I ever spoke with or communicated with Jenny. Mike was my point of contact and he was excellent. He communicated at the right times, was easy to get a hold of, quick to respond. My mom was hospitalized when we were on this trip, and Mike even reached out afterwards to ask how she/we were doing. It was very thoughtful and much appreciated. He’s good people.

The owners helped make this a great vacation for my family and our friends. They were quick to respond to any questions we had and the property is well supplied with anything we needed. Beautiful location and wonderful property.

We had a wonderful trip up North! The lake house was as described: clean, lots of games and puzzles, stocked kitchen utensils w/ all necessary tools/gadgets, working AC which was appreciated on the hotter afternoons, and cozy sleeping arrangements. The star of the vacation was the access to a private dock on a spectacular lake! We all had a blast swimming, paddle boating, playing in the sand and sitting out enjoying the view. My only recommendation would be to have the tub deep cleaned or replaced. I have one son who has severe allergies and medical issues and I was hesitant to have him use the shower because the tub was surrounded by mold. We are normally not too particular but with him, I need to be. Other than that, it was great! We had a hard time leaving the lake home!

Perfect little lake house with just about everything you could ever need. The kids loved swimming in clear lake, boys had a great time fishing, and we all loved kayaking. Thanks to neighbors my 18 yr old was able to paddle board for the first time and loved it. Great vacation!!! We even made a bonus trip to Lake Superior.

My family stayed here for a few days in early June. We had all ages starting with an infant at 8 months old all the way til grandparents in their 60's. Everyone loved the cabin and lake. The lake was just as beautiful as described and peaceful. The area is very friendly. People walking along the road would always wave to us. The neighbors checked in with us as well and offered all sorts of help. The property manager also reached out and made sure we were all set and said to call or text anytime. The cabin was completely clean and had plenty of room for everyone and more if we wanted. There were kayaks that we took on the lake, they had life jackets for our use and fishing supplies and much more. They provided so many things for us to do and keep everyone entertained. Such an amazing property and great people. We highly recommend this cabin for an amazing and relaxing vacation!! Loved every minute of it!

Jen & Mike's little cabin in the woods was the perfect early summer getaway for us! We wanted something drivable from the Twin Cities, on a lake, that could handle two families of three, and this place delivered! Mike checked in with us via text on the first night to make sure that everything was going well and that we found the place okay, which was appreciated. The next door neighbors are also very friendly and stopped by to say hi and see if we needed anything. The directions provided via VRBO were spot on, and we had no problems locating the cabin. The location itself is fantastic, and we really enjoyed time spent on the little deck and campfire area down by the lakeshore. There was plenty of firewood provided for campfires and we loved listening to the sound of the loons as the sun set over the lake. The shed is filled with all sorts of lawn games, life jackets, campfire roasting forks, etc. and we enjoyed taking the kayaks out for a loop on the lake each afternoon. The kitchen is also well-stocked with all of the pots, pans, cookie sheets, etc. that you might need for making a quick meal, and we appreciated having access to the beverage fridge right by the back door so we could grab things quickly while outside. If you’re looking for a good breakfast, we recommend the Trading Post, which is a 15 minute drive away. FYI – One thing to be aware of is that the home is actually a split level, with the living room area raised up 2-3 steps from both the kitchen and front door. Given we had two children under one, we used this as an opportunity to teach them how to safely go down the stairs, but worth noting for others with littles or people with mobility issues.

Beautiful location and a very kind host!!

We booked this property to celebrate the May birthday's in our family. Mike and the neighbors were amazing communicating with us and making sure everything went smoothly. Everything was nice and neat. Definitely will be booking again in the future

This was a girl’s getaway for 2 retired gals who wanted a safe option to get out of the house and enjoy some time together in a relaxing environment. We took a short drive up to Amnicon Falls state park and Superior one day which was lovely- did a bit of hiking, saw the lighthouse, found great takeout lunch. Spent a lot of time at the cabin sipping wine while watching the resident loons on the lake, had nightly campfires (firewood supply was well-stocked) and thoroughly enjoyed kayaking the calm lake. We had everything we needed there and Mike checked on us several times. The neighbors were very friendly too and it couldn’t have been a better experience. We only wished we had rented it for a bit longer!

We had a mini getaway at this cabin for 3 nights. The water was perfect and the dock was great for jumping off of and easy fishing. We also took the kayaks and paddle boat out which was a great perk! We had great communication with the owners and everything was comfortable and clean.
