Pier & Lake-View Patio: Wisconsin Northwoods Cabin

Enjoyed the cabin!

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin during our first trip to the Northwoods. It was perfect for two, with a comfortable bed, a well-stocked kitchen, and a peaceful setting. A few things could be improved. The door code wasn't sent until arrival, and because cell service was poor, we had to find Wi-Fi to access the message. Sending the code ahead of time would make check-in much easier. The refrigerator was also quite small for storing groceries. Our biggest disappointment was the fishing access. We booked this cabin specifically for a fishing trip, but the dock wasn't usable for a boat, and fishing from it wasn't possible due to heavy weeds and lily pads, despite the listing mentioning you could "throw a line." We contacted the owner before our stay to ask about dock and boat access, but weren't given a clear answer. Better communication and a more accurate description of the fishing access would help set appropriate expectations for future guests.

This was our second time staying at the Stone Lake cabin property (previously stayed in the big cabin). The whole place - property and cabin - is gorgeous. They put a lot of thought into making this a great experience, including a whole binder of instructions and things to do in the area, and a nice little welcome package when you arrive. The big yard is great for letting our little dog run around. Really comfy bed - best sleep we had our entire vacation. Big TV and good wifi connection if you're more into glamping. Loved the convenience of the provided firewood and a little fire pit. If we ever go back to stay in this area, Stone Lake cabins will be the first place we look.

We loved our time spent in the Guest Cabin. Our dog loved the lake access and there was plenty of space for him to explore. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed. Loved the Pine Restaurant for live music and food in Mercer.
