This property was amazing. It is located on Statehouse Lake and the home is on a private penninsula-esque piece of land withinthe boundaries of the North Lakeland Discovery Center. There was a canoe, 2 kayaks and a private pier with clear and clean water. There is a fire circle and chairs along with an outside patio with chairs and a small table. We didn’t use the gas grill but it was available outside the front door.
The property has trails surrounding it that are also part of the Discovery Center. The house was clean and well-appointed, even nicer than the online pictures imo. There is a porch with a sitting area and table and chairs, perfect for Game night. The view to the lake from the living room couch is perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed including coffee maker (there were filters to use), toaster, stove, oven, dish washer, and plenty of glassware, dishes and utensils. The washer and dryer in the basement were very nice and accessible.
There are 2 bedrooms each with a double bed and in the basement, which was clean and dry and finished, there are 2 small pull out beds that worked fine for our children but not sure they’d be that comfy for adults. We did find a extra camping mattress so our teenage son doubled up.
Bedding, pillows and other linens were nice. We were provided with plenty of towels (very nice) and the bathroom and shower were clean and nice as well.
We‘ve rented many VRBOs and this was as nice as any we’ve stayed in. It exceeded my expectations and we would return in a heartbeat. Our kids (ages 12,15 and 18) said it was their favorite place we’ve stayed in.
MW is a really nice town with lots to do, bike trails with ebike and regular rentals, chain of lakes with rental kayaks, canoes and motorized boats from Greer’s Pier. We rented a ski boat and enjoyed a day on the lakes. We played bingo on Sunday night in the Town Center and enjoyed the water ski show on Rest Lake on Saturday and Wednesday nights. We had a nice dinner at Aberdeens’s Lodge, it was a long wait fora table but a lovely outdoor area and property overlooking a lake and good bar service. We also had apps on Manny’s Parkside backyard porch which is new and fun and gorgeous overlooking the main park in town.
This was a perfect vacation for our family of 5 and was a bonus that we could bring our big old yellow lab with us as he loves the Northwoods too.
