Waterfront Whitefish Lake Home w/ Dock!

Reviews

• Great getaway!

  5/5

  Our group really enjoyed the location and cabin. We all had our own room and the cabin was very spacious. The lake itself was very clean and sandy, which is hard to find. Having our dogs with us was an added bonus!! The owners were on site and mostly kept away from our group, but did check in to see if we needed anything. Highly recommend this spot!!!

  Everything worked great. Only thing was parking with trucks and boats was tight but it worked out. I’d stay again.

• Return to Whitefish Lake

  5/5

  This was a sentimental journey for me - I spent my summers at our family cabin on Whitefish Lake.

  The property suited our needs very well. The views of Upper Whitefish from the deck and cabin are gorgeous. The cabin was well-furnished and equipped, with an older lake cabin vibe - not luxurious, but very comfortable. I caught sunfish from the dock. We also rented a pontoon boat at Bertha Boat Works and enjoyed tooling around the Whitefish Chain.

  It's an expensive rental, but it was just what we were looking for. My sister and I are already talking about returning.

• Rather disappointed

  1/5

  Overall the cabin was nice, the grounds were beautiful and the beach was awesome.

  We knew that the owners were on the property in another house, however we didnt realize that meant they were basically on top of us. We had our trip booked roughly 6 months in advance. In our 5 day stay there was a gentleman taking up the deck doing some work on the house for 2 days. The work that was done was clearly decorative and was not needed and certainly was not needed to be done while the house was rented out. There was no advance notice of this, or various other repairs being done to the home by the owners.

  While the owners of the home are lovely people, we truly felt as though we were intruding in on their space and that we could not fully relax and enjoy our time.

  Also, for anyone going to stay... bring bug spray... we though we were well prepared. But anytime we left the deck to play in the yard or walk through the wooded path to get to the beach we were swarmed by biting flies. They rendered the beach almost unusable.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Melanie, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed the cabin, the beautiful grounds, and the beach. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  
  -We understand your concerns about the proximity of the guesthouse. The photos in the listing aim to provide a clear representation of the layout, and we have not received similar feedback before.
  -The roof work on the guest cabin was necessary and timed to coincide with the only available window in a fully booked schedule. Most of the work was completed when no guests were present, and the finishing touches took just part of a day. This was communicated upon arrival.
  -Regarding the insects, northern Minnesota does experience biting flies during the summer. We recommend guests come prepared with bug spray, as you mentioned.
  
  Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We appreciate your feedback so we can continue to improve and provide guests with the 5-star service we strive for. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!

• Cozy/beautiful beach

  5/5

  The cabin was perfect. Roomy, clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies, bedding, towels and even beach towels.

  The only down side for a few of us 60+ was the huge steep hill to get down to the beach. There are steps as well, but lots of climbing stairs and hill. The landscaping and the beach are breathtaking. The water is sooooo clear and refreshing.
