Older property but what a view from the screened in porch, the Manitowish River in front of the cabin is no wake zone so it was like watching a boat parade every day as the boats went idling by.

When we arrived at the property we noticed a large branch on the roof, as we entered into the property the first thing we noticed was the musty smell. The house is much smaller than we imagined. Tiny bedrooms, tiny kitchen and too much furniture which made closing bedroom doors difficult. The toilet in the bathroom was leaking and the shower was plastic. The property could have been much cleaner and more up to date. The couch was ripped and the television was very small with 4 channels. The neighbors on either side are very close, which makes privacy challenging. The host is non existent, you deal with a rental company who is nowhere near the property. The only good things about the property is the view of the water and access for boating and fishing. I don't think we will stay here again.
