Lovely home for rest and relaxation

Great place! Clean and well-equipped (may be the fist VRBO that we have rented that gave us more than 3 rolls of toilet paper - it's the little things). Sandy beach was nice to wade in on a hot day. Owner was quick to respond to questions prior to going. No issues while onsite!

House was very clean, beds were very comfortable and all the amenities listed plus a few extras. The owner Gregg was very easy to work with (we had a little scheduling problem). The lake and the views are amazing and the stars at night are spectacular.

Great stay. Responsive manager.

Lake view is gorgeous. Really enjoyed the provided kayaks and row boat. Copper Falls State Park was very close and beautiful. Found a local restaurant called Copper Ridge that waited on us with delicious food and great customer service. Gregg was very responsive when we had a slight issue with our room that ended up getting resolved. We would definitely stay here again.

English lake

Had a wonderful time! Loved the beautiful property, stunning lake, and surrounding parks. We rented a pontoon boat at the rental, fished tons, had campfires, cooked together, and also traveled to nearby Morgan Falls and Copper Falls State Park for some great hiking. Truly a beautiful, relaxing, and memorable time!

We personally enjoy Snowmobiling , ATV rides, hunting, fishing and regular trips out to the many northwoods establishments in the area. Great people and great fun.

We look forward to hearing from you and don't forget to sign the guest book before you leave.
