My group throughly enjoyed our stay! The space was clean, organized, and very cozy. We were able to enjoy the canoe, sauna, and fire pit with no issues. It was a very relaxing stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy weekend away!

Very peaceful location. Watched some beavers paddle the lake and an owl landed on the dock while we were having a fire. Cabin was very clean and the ping-pong and arcade were a hit. Beds were comfortable and everything felt clean and new. Boats were fun for exploring the lake. The family had a great time.

We absolutely loved our stay! The accommodations were fantastic, the beds were super comfortable, and the entire place was perfect for our family getaway. We had four young women staying up in the loft, and they had a blast reminiscing about the fun of childhood sleepovers! The fall colors were beautiful, and we found some excellent restaurants and hiking trails nearby. It was the perfect place to relax, explore, and spend quality time together as a family. We made some great memories and are already hoping to come back this winter for some snowmobiling! Highly recommend!

The cabin was very clean and cozy, it had a nice view. We enjoyed the deck and natural light that poured into the cabin. The fire pit area looked super cozy even though we were so busy we didn't get to enjoy it. We enjoyed 4 wheeling, eating at the local new Pub, Pine Ridge,and Summit Lake Game Farm for our anniversary. The fall colors were starting to pop, Hayward Fall fest and the train ride in Trego. We would have golfed and fished/kayak if I didn't break some fingers before we left on vacation.we would definitely come back

This was a gorgeous lake side cabin. It has everything you need for a great trip, including a fun game room downstairs. The location was convenient to Hayward & Spooner. The hosts are very organized and included little touches like leaving a fire starter and firewood for our use. We had such a great time, we hated to leave!

This house was great! There was plenty of room for everyone, and we were so happy that our pup was welcome, too. My grandson loved the bear motif, and it was well stocked with the essentials (even laundry pods). Brad responded quickly to our inquiries and was thoughtful about making sure we had enough propane for the gas grill. Having the kayaks on site was fabulous, as the lake is more for paddling than swimming. We had an awesome Northwoods experience!

Just returned from our stay at Cattail Chalet and couldn’t be happier. We stayed very comfortably with 4 adults and 6 kids. The listing was just as described and includes many thoughtful details and amenities. The lake is smaller which makes it quiet and calm for paddling. Our group had a blast fishing, swimming and paddling. Host communicated very promptly and made sure we had all the needed info to make our stay amazing! A wonderful escape to the north woods!

This cabin was absolutely perfect. Brad was a very communicative and informative host and my family and I all had a great time. Everything was clean and the area is super quiet. We especially loved all the outdoor activities available like the canoe and pedal boat, which my partner and I used to catch tons of fish on the lake. Highly recommend!

We can’t say enough good things about Cattail Cottage, it really is a wonderful place! It was easy to get in, immaculately clean, very well appointed, has beautiful surroundings, so peaceful! We thoroughly enjoyed many games of ping pong, being able to watch events up or downstairs, playing cribbage (which was one of the many games available on the console table), hanging out inside and on the deck, kayaking, and our daily walk w/our dogs on Holly Lake and Cattail Lanes. It’ so great when we find a place that accommodates our dogs so perfectly! Need to mention one thing…the pillows are very firm. Not a big deal as we would bring our own next time. Brad was an excellent host, very accommodating! We had a few inquiries during our stay and he was extremely prompt in responding. Thank you Brad for hosting us, we loved your place!

Our family had a wonderful time at the cottage. (Five adults and two dogs). It was really a beautiful area, sunsets lovely, the huge porch looking over the lake very relaxing and kayaking fun. The place is lovely, owners very responsive and I would highly recommend. Our dogs loved the dock area and chasing balls at the waters edge. Our kayak excursions to find the turtles and enjoy the water was a highlight. (We did not attempt to swim, it is more of a fishing lake) We did see the fish. Cottage is set up for anything that you would need and beautiful.

This is by far the best cabin we have ever stayed at. The owners really went out of their way to accommodate us. I would definitely recommend this cabin if you are in the area!

Nothing but good things to say about Brad and his Airbnb! Very responsive and attentive to guests. Checked in to make sure things were going smoothly, which was greatly appreciated. Huge, new, modern cabin! appreciated all the extra amenities like the kayaks and ping pong table. Kept us busy and entertained without leaving the cabin. Highly recommend, I would definitely rebook!

Very nice cabin, great location, nice fire pit with plastic Adirondack chairs. House was clean and tidy, kitchen wares were adequate for preparing a few meals. Loft does get warmer than the rest of the house (which is expected) and is not a quiet place for early to bed folks. Excellent house, we would stay again

The cabin was perfect for our family of ten to spend the weekend. It fit all of us comfortably and had everything we needed. The location was close to the wedding venue we attended. The setting was great for taking some family pictures too.

This is the place to get away from it all, but still be a short drive to local restaurants. You can sit on the dock, on the deck, screen porch, or curl up and read a book. Our pup enjoyed the gravel road walks with no traffic. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had all the housewares we needed. We used the canoe for a nice paddle around the small lake to enjoy the fall colors and enjoyed the bonfire every night. The perfect Northwoods cabin - with lots of amenities.

We had an amazing time during our stay at Cattail Cabin. The owners were super accomodating when we needed to work around our kids sports schedule. We came for 4 nights for an end of summer get away. The cabin has everything you need. The lake is a nice and quiet lake, so our kids could kayak and paddle boat safely and easily by themselves. We were just a short drive to Hayward where there was lots of great places to visit. Highly reccomend for anyone with a family to stay here! A really amazing up-north cabin to recharge and relax!
