It was a last-minute summer vacation for only three nights. We were looking for a nice, clean & affordable lake house for our family (two adults & two kids - 9 and 12 years old). We wanted a place where we could bring our dog and also have a sandy beach for the kids - and adults - to relax and play!
Leasy's property met all of the family's requirements. The house has been remodeled recently and everything inside is brand new!
They have lots of toys for kids: indoor games (ping pong table, board games, Jenga, and etc.), a floating swim dock, two kayaks and a paddleboat. My two boys loved them all! We brought our own life jackets, but they had some inside the shed.
We also brought our own gear for fishing and used the kayaks and the paddleboat to explore the lake and go fishing. If you decide to cook your freshly caught meal, there is a table attached to the shed where you can clean the fish, outside of the house, and throw them straight into the fire pit. You can use the removable grill and the free firewood to cook your meal.
Even though temperatures were not too high (mid 60s during the night with high 80s during the day) the master room was too hot for me. I'm sorry but I'm an AC guy - the rest of the family did well. I found the basement is the coolest place in the house :)
Nice to have: It would be nice to have available a list with recommended places & activities nearby such as restaurants and other activities (i.e.: boat & jet ski rental).
Make sure to check out the Peantu's Ice Cream shop in Eagle River and eat some delicious ice cream.
Cons: We couldn't find nice hiking trails within walking distance; we tried using the local roads for hiking but had to come back quickly because of too many mosquitos. We will bring more bug spray next time :) I know Leasy can't do anything about it, just for your information.
Leasy always replied very quickly to our messages and addressed all the questions/concerns. She was also checking-in during our stay to make sure everything was well.
