Tainter Lake is approximately a 1605 acre lake located in Dunn county. It has a maximum depth of about 37 feet. Depending on the weather in the summer months, the water clarity can be low due to algae growth. Later in the summer months this lake tends to get a bit green. May until early July are the best months to enjoy swimming. Still a great size lake for boating, kayaking and fishing!

A wonderful family cabin!

The cabin was clean, spacious, and a cozy place to relax! The kitchen and dining space made for a great place to make family meals together. We enjoyed renting the pontoon and cruising around the lake. The property has many different outside gathering spaces that we took full advantage of! We had 10 adults and 2 kids and this cabin fit us all comfortably. We had a wonderful stay- thank you for creating a warm and inviting cabin for families to create memories in!

We all had a great time. Caught some pretty big fish, weather was hot, but not rainy. Pontoon was nice and big for everyone to come aboard. House had lots of room and with 2 kitchens the extra refrigerator was a blessing. Communication with the owners was excellent.

What an amazing property. We had enough room for our family and friends to stay at this location to celebrate our son’s wedding. We had plenty of room to cook & prepare the homemade desserts. The 2 kitchens were a huge bonus. Highly recommended for vacation with a large group.

Lovely spot on the lake, perfect for spending time with family.

House is well equipped with everything you need. Check in was smooth and we really enjoyed having big table in open kitchen & family room as well as the deck to hang out together as a family. We did try to contact owner several times during our stay to inquire about kayaks that are said to be available for you stay. It was one of the reasons we booked this location but we never got a response and there were no kayaks which was the only disappointment we encountered in missing time on the water on a long weekend with lovely weather. We did sit on the dock a lot and would rent the pontoon if we returned. Jake's was great we walked down to eat twice.

Perfection

This is my second stay and another 5 star rating. There was a huge storm in the afternoon of check in and a large tree nearly blocked the drive. After a call to home owners, they quickly arrived with a chain saw and drive was clear. Such amazing service!I love this house and it is perfect for our gathering of friends for a horse show weekend!

Great family lake house

We enjoyed our stay! The loft was great for my son and his 3 cousins to sleep with each of them in their own beds! The kitchen was well equipped, so we cooked breakfast and dinner! Because the weather wasn’t great we enjoyed staying in and playing board games and card games with the kids!

Great stay!

My friends and I stayed at this location for a couple nights and it was great! They allowed us to use some of their firewood, which was nice due to the weather. Great driveway for beanbags. Close to restaurant and a bar to walk to. The set up was, great inside as well. We will probably look to stay there again next year.

Relaxing on the lake!!

Our stay at this lakefront cottage was fantastic! The location is ideal—quiet, peaceful, and right on the water, offering beautiful scenery and the perfect spot for relaxation. The house was very clean and well-maintained, and it had plenty of beds, which was perfect for our group. The hosts were welcoming and ensured that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you’re looking for a serene, scenic getaway, this cottage is a great choice. We hope to come back soon!

Eight women stayed for a three day weekend. The house was perfect for our needs with lots of beds and two kitchens! The setting is peaceful and beautiful. We spent one evening on the deck relaxing and listening to night noises. The flowers are stunning and much attention has been given to ensure you’ll have everything you need. We will be back!

WI vacation

I booked this stay for my family that was coming into town for my wedding. They came all the way from both Ohio and Arizona and after a long trip this was the perfect place to relax. Very clean and smelled absolutely AMAZING as soon as you walked through the door. Stunning property! Communication was quick and everything about the stay was clearly communicated both by message and by paper when we got to the house. I would recommend this beautiful home for everyone and anyone looking for a place to stay near Menomonie WI.

Wonderful family getaway

This Tainter Lake Retreat was truly a wonderful experience for bringing family together for a summer getaway. The hosts were so accommodating and easy to work with and our experience at the cabin were more than exceeded. We enjoyed the size of the home to have the different families each have a separate space but then a large main area to gather and enjoy. We loved having the two kitchens to help prop for some larger meals. The place was very clean and well maintained. We loved our time cruisong on the water as it really is a beautiful lake. The property is beautiful on the end of the private drive.

Awesome lake house stay!

Our family stayed here a full week and loved it! We enjoyed campfires in both settings(front of house and by the lake), spent hours on the lake kayaking, fishing and swimming, hit the town for thrifting and the Devil's Punch Bowl and spent hours on the decks reading, relaxing and enjoying the wildlife around us! The kids caught all kinds of fish including 6 different species and we were able to have a big fish fry at the end of the week. Teresa was a great host who responded quickly to texts and answered any questions we had. It was a great vacation for all of us with 7 kids ranging in ages 10-20!
