Check-in was very easy; owner allowed us to check-in early which was very appreciated! The kitchen had everything we looked for. Our only issue was the property info said there was a gas grill available but there was not. So, we brought our steak home with us and went out to dinner which we hadn't planned on.

Some minor details have us taking away one star, but those details would not deter us from returning or recommending it. Absolutely wonderful location. Only a 15 min scenic road ride to the ATV trails. The property is a gem and the owner was very friendly and responsive with the few questions we had. Really enjoyed our time there!

Holiday getaway

My wife and I found ourselves doing our own thing this year for Thanksgiving this year, so we decided to get away for a few days. I found this little gem, and it was perfect for us. Everything we needed, including kitchen utensils. We even cooked a small Thanksgiving meal . We will definitely be coming back in the summer to enjoy the river, and the ATV trails nearby.

Perfect for a quick weekend.

My partner and I stayed here for a weekend while I was running a trail race. It was perfect for what we needed, beds seemed like memory foam and overall comfortable. Kitchen was functional in order to make some meals. There were a number of lady bugs/beetles inside but nothing that bothered us. It was easy to navigate to via GPS, Wi-Fi was fast and reliable and many channels to watch for those chill nights. We didn't spend much time there but there was a fire pit and plenty of seating outside for enjoyment by the river! If we are ever in the area, would definitely stay again.

Cute river cottage!

We enjoyed our stay. It was a cute place with everything we needed. We did not have time to explore the outside amenities, but the inside was fine. The only issue was the bathroom shower. The hot/cold were opposite the labels and it was hard to keep the water in the tiny shower. Otherwise, we used the kitchen and the oven, microwave and fridge were good. There was plenty of seating and it was a comfortable place. I would stay here again for sure! Thanks!

Peaceful retreat in the woods

I had a relaxing, pleasant stay at this cabin on Black River Falls. It was clean, comfortable and secluded, but not isolated, as there is a house next door and others down the lane. Wonderful hiking at Lake Wazee and Black River Forest.

Quick weekend.

We really enjoyed our stay. When walking we met several people on the street everyone was super nice. The river was perfect. We were able to sit on the dock and put our toes in. We kept waiting for the rough roads mentioned in a previous post. They do not exist. All roads were paved. No potholes. Very nice for small town Midwest.

Mini vacation

I love taking my kids for a little vacation each summer and this year we stumbled across this cabin. It did not disappoint! We had such a great time! It was the perfect space for me and my kids. It was peaceful and relaxing and close to the other things we wanted to explore! We will definitely be back!

Not as Expected!

First impression was to be of the picture on VRBO, it was not. No pretty lights, no decor, no seating by river, no hammocks. Neighbor complained of wood fire every day we were there. Inside needs a lot of cleaning... mice everywhere. Droppings in every cabinet and utensil drawers. Utensils were cleaned first night & day we used but was useless. Went & bought throw away plates & utensils, napkins etc. Also have a grill w/no grilling utensils so had to buy those. We had Kleenex boxes out (1 in living room, bedroom & bathroom and the mice destroyed everyone) Our dog was barking & very protective as he could hear them all over. I have contacted the owner during the stay & no return email until weeks after the stay. Overall, the river behind the house was relaxing.

Cozy and Relaxing

My husband and I stayed 2 nights and loved it. It’s a cozy cottage but doesn’t feel cramped. The house was very clean and had all the kitchen utensils you could need. We enjoyed burgers and brats on the grill and even were successful catching a few fish from the river. 15 minutes from a Walmart so it was easy to get groceries. Mosquitos are no joke outside, so don’t forget to pack your bug spray. Highly recommend this cottage!
