This vrbo far exceeded our expectations. From its soaring wood ceilings, spacious great room/kitchen, to its ample bedrooms and bathrooms all tastefully decorated in cabin decor, it exuded north woods ambiance. There was plenty of outdoor seating, a firepit, gas grill, kayaks, and yard games. The owners thought of everything! The clear shallow sandy-bottomed lake was perfect for young children to spend the day in. It all made for an incredibly enjoyable family vacation!

We had 4 couples in our party and the lake house was perfect for each couple to have a private bedroom and bathroom. House was clean and great amenities throughout. Kitchen worked perfect to prepare meals all week and the screened porch was amazing to enjoy meals together and the and the amazing view of the lake. We rented the pontoon from the owner and highly recommend doing so. Comfortably fit our party if 8 adults. Beautiful sunset cruises every night. Caught a ton of fish! Northern, Largemouth Bass, Rock Bass, Sunfish and Perch - all catch & release. Loons were seen & calling/singing all day and all week. Property manager & owner were easily accessible and answered quickly a couple of questions we had during our stay, Very relaxing and peaceful 7 night stay! Advice…book it!!
We had a great time at the Lazy Bear Lodge! Everything was immaculate and was just as advertised. There was room for the whole family to spread out inside and out. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need for adults and kids. The shallow sandy bottom pier area was a hit with two toddlers. We rented the pontoon for the week and the fishing was outstanding! Would definitely give it a 10/10!

We had 3 generations of family here and it worked great for us. A lot of room for people to nap and others to visit or play board games in the screened in porch or be in the water. The was our second stay in the past 3 summers. Communication with Chris was excellent and he was patient with questions.

Lazy Bear Lodge was a wonderful place to rent for the week. The house is beautiful & designed perfectly for groups: beautiful kitchen & living area, main level queen bedroom (for those with issues with stairs), family room with bunks would be great for kids, upstairs master is huge, plus 2 more bedrooms!
Screened in porch was favorite place to eat and play yahtzee. Patio was the perfect hangout. Rented pontoon and took many laps around the lake each day. Lake is very shallow near shore, up to knees at end of the dock!
Only thing to keep in mind is no access to laundry and only 1 extra roll of toilet paper provided per bathroom. We were aware so we brought extra towels and toilet paper but for a week stay something to keep in mind.
Owners and manager were great to work with.
Will be on our list if we ever need a house for a larger group again!
