Ice fishing trip

Great location, right on the lake- no steps down to the water. House is roomy and was great for 5 guys. Easy access to meta lake and to cranberry lake just down the road. Property manager was extremely helpful and responsive to questions prior to booking and was equally responsive during our stay for anything we needed. I would highly recommend.

We had a lovely New Year’s weekend at this place. The cabin was beautiful…..clean, kitchen was well equipped, nice big bathrooms, plenty of space for our group. I like that there’s a beach and you can walk right out to the water’s edge. I can’t wait to stay here in the summer. The host was quick with a response to my questions. All in all wonderful.

January Snowmobile Trip

Stayed over a 3-day weekend with a group of 6. Beautiful setting on lake, the beds were very comfortable, 2 baths were convenient and the property is clean and well-kept. Only downside was the water pressure was low when 2 showers ran at same time. Property is not on snowmobile trail, but you can ride the road 1.5 miles to catch it. Would like to visit again in summer!

Very Accurate Ad & SPOTLESS

My large family and I have been burned many times showing up to properties that the listing shows what we think is accurate, turns out to be nothing like the listing. Here at Walleye Cottage, it is exactly how you see it, the property manager was always just a call or text away, checked in with us throughout our stay. Kitchen was beyond well stocked, beds were comfortable, the entire house was CLEAN, the grounds were kept up, you can just tell a lot of work and caring goes into this resort. You have all your own spaces, beach is shallow great for kids, but deep enough to dock your boat! All in all was great, we already have our spot reserved next fall!

Walleye Cottage Stay

This was my second stay at the Walleye Cottage on Meta Lake. Nice updated classic Northwoods cottage with all the modern amenities to make a stay comfortable and hassle-free. Property is clean and well-maintained. The property managers are easy to contact in case guests have any questions or concerns. The location is wonderful on Meta Lake. It's a private lake, so nice and peaceful with not much boat traffic. The cottage has it's own private dock with a 14 foot jon boat included. Meta Lake is also sandwiched between Catfish and Cranberry Lakes with easy public access to the Eagle River Chain of Lakes. West-facing cottage so very nice sunsets over Meta Lake. It's wonderful waking up to the sound of loons on the lake. I'm looking forward to my next stay at the Walleye Cottage.
