  3rd stay at the walleye cabin for us! Always enjoy the space, very quiet, I feel safe leaving my boat uncovered outside. We will be back in the spring again!

• Three day stay for GF's birthday

  5/5

  The cabin was clean, organized, and well stocked with towels, TP, paper towels etc. Air Con worked REALLY WELL. Window units, but they cooled that little cabin down considerably.

  Getting to the water is the only complaint I have. You have to cross the road you drive in on to get to the water. No crosswalk nearby so you're stuck waiting for a gap in the HEAVY traffic to run across the road to the dock. There is no other way to get to the water. It's a SUPER busy road with cars going at least 60. Other than that it was a fantastic trip.

  Launch service was great. Despite a few unforeseen issues, no power for fish finder, and ran out of gas, the captain and the bait man made it worth while. It was a good trip, and will always be a hell of a story now.

• So So

  3/5

  The cabin had not been turned over at our 4pm check in time. There was still trash from the previous renter, sheets still on the bed, wet towels in the bathroom. The first night when we returned from visiting friends, I couldn't get the door to unlock. 10pm, and I had to reach out to the property managers to get in. The keypad wasn't responding, the cleaning lady had to come. They manual key wouldn't work either. Once she finally had to break into the cabin, she changed the batteries, and it worked fine when we tested it. However, the rest of our stay it continued to fail, we had to crawl in a windows twice after it would not unlock, so we could get in. I understand that this will not be everyone's experience, but it shouldn't happen, and had it been 3am, like our later nights, we'd have had to sleep in our truck.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Megan, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your stay, particularly with the cabin's cleanliness and the issues with the keyless entry. After discussing your feedback with the homeowner, they wanted to address the following:
  -We understand that you arrived early and were aware that the cabin was not yet ready for check-in at 4 pm. The cleaning team informed you of this, and we appreciate your understanding in dropping off your belongings before the cabin was fully prepared.
  -We’re very sorry about the difficulties you experienced with the keyless entry system. The batteries were changed after you initially reached out, and it was tested to be working at that time. However, we regret that it continued to cause issues during your stay. We weren’t made aware that the problem persisted, and we wish we had the opportunity to address it sooner.
  We’re sorry that this experience didn’t meet your expectations and understand the frustration these issues caused. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll be taking steps to ensure these problems don’t happen again for future guests. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention.

• Cute and Cozy

  4/5

  The cabin itself is super cute and nicely updated. Well built. It was super hot this weekend and the two little air conditioners kept up nicely.

  Comfy bed and fouton. We did move one of the bedroom lamps into the living room to give it more coziness. It was me and my teen daughter and her friend. Although I know its not very accessable, a TV would be nice in the main area. But we made do.

  Bedding was missing for the fouton but the property manager was amazing and stayed in communication and got the bedding there for the two teenagers.

  Only recommendation would be a few more kitchen towels and rags. And a few wine glasses.

  Parking could be labled too. We woke up to someone elses car parked super tightly against mine. I was parked next to the picnic table and the only car in our party.

  Overall a great little place. Even with two teenage girls who had several bags, blankets and stuff! Haha.
