We loved our country get away. Upon our arrival Norm gave us a tour and suggestions of area restaurants. We awoke each morning enjoying breakfast while looking over the river. Ended the day with campfires, star gazing and the peace and tranquillity of the country. On our last night we also met Sue and she to joined us in conversations of the history of their family and Vrbo. Thanks for hosting and sharing with us-will definitely return.Lynn, Donny and Amy

Norm and Sue have a cozy and clean cabin. We enjoyed being right on the Chippewa River and the close proximity to the Old Abe Trail.
Sunsets are spectacular from the cabin!
September colors along the Old Abe Trail.
The Old Abe Trail runs along the Chippewa River for much of the way.
The tall trees make a tunnel for the trail on the north end by Cornell.

The property is great for what it is: a rustic location right on the river. No frills! They mean it when they say bring your own towels/bedding. But the kitchen works fine, good sized fridge, the bed was quite comfortable, and the view was wonderful.I'm giving 4 stars because at times, it was TOO rustic. The electrical outlets in the bedroom seem to be loose, the water never got that hot, WiFi wouldn't reach to the bedrooms, that sort of thing. Which, if the weather had been better, I might not have noticed and, as it was, it all worked as needed.Sue and Norm were very friendly, welcoming, and I did enjoy my stay.

Cottage was clean and comfortable. Hosts were super welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The A/C unit could use an upgrade or another one added to the cottage as it had a hard time cooling the space. There to fish and caught Catfish, Perch and Bass.

What we needed

As the title states staying at the cottage was exactly what our family needed. The owners were very nice and communicative the place was clean and quiet. We had grandparents, my wife and I and our child but there's enough room here for all of us to enjoy family time but also each have our own space when needed. In terms of fishing we mainly caught channel cats and sturgeon off the dock fishing off the bottom but we're lucky enough that each one was bigger than the last. It was far enough away from towns that our child was able to see the stars for the first time and overall lovely enough that we created many a core memory for her. Definitely hope to choose this cottage again in the future!

Lovely view

Lovely view of river at this property. Be sure to bring linens. Hosts were gracious and brought sheets. Pillows etc. Over. Thank goodness because we didn't bring any due to description saying linens were included under property amenities. Host did send email which went under our radar mentioning no linens etc. No railing by the step to get in. And it's a sketchy step. I'm only mentioning this cause our other couple was older and the old wooden step was higher than average.The view is incredible. My complaint would be the smell of the whole cabin. A candle did help. It could use a major cleaning and needs a little help but ... It's not like we spent a huge amount of money to stay there.

Space was clean and of good size. The single window a/c unit had difficulty keeping up with the heat. Property owner welcomed me as I arrived, which was very helpful since the building is not well marked. The directions provided were very helpful. Considering an autumn stay.
