Still Wonderful!

This was our second year staying at Leader Lake and everything is just as we remember- outstanding! (see our reivew July 2024). We spent nearly all our time in and on the lake. It is great for swimming and paddling and very clean (so is the cabin). Everything is private and tranquil: the cabin, the yard and lakefront. The area is very friendly and enjoyable. A true Northwoods lake and a very positive experience had by three generations. Great hosts! Highly recommend

Beautiful Lake and canin

We truly enjoyed our stay! It was perfect for our family of six. The lake was great for swimming and fishing and we really enjoyed using the paddle boards and kayaks. The cabin was very cozy and clean. We also enjoyed our campfires! Perfect little get away! What a blessing, thanks!

Peaceful getaway

This cabin was a beautiful relaxing getaway for our family. We had 4 kids with us from ages 12-2 and all enjoyed the lake in different ways. Our 2 year old loved playing in the sand and the older kids loved to swim and use the many kayaks, canoes and paddleboat. The lake is a great size that we could keep an eye on them but still plenty of room to explore. Very peaceful and neighbors on the lake were very friendly. The cabin is very clean and Tim is a wonderful host and very responsive on questions. The cabin itself has a beautiful story and we loved staying there!

Wonderful!

What an excellent vacation! Were looking for a quiet, sandy lake with a gradual depth for our 5 year old to enjoy, but one where adults could enjoy swimming as well. We wanted to do a lot of kayaking, stand up paddle boarding too. This place is as described and we enjoyed it to the fullest. The lake is very clean, as is the cabin, which had everything we needed. We really enjoyed grilling and having dinner on the deck outside overlooking the lake and watching the bald eagle fly by. We normally pick a new cabin and lake every summer, but think this one will see us return next year. Highly recommend!

Leader Lake visit

The lake and beach is beautiful. Our grandkids visited for 4 days and they spent hours playing around in the sand. Grand kids were able to see the numerous deer in the neighborhood. The cottage itself was well supplied. The drawback to the cottage is having the bathroom in the basement. There is no handrail on the basement steps, which makes traveling to the basement a bit of a safety issue. Overall though it is a very nice cottage in a good location

Lake Life

Beautiful location. Very relaxing being steps from the lake. Loved taking the kayaks and paddle boards out. Lots of wildlife: turkeys, cranes, deer, even saw a black bear cub. Husband took the canoe out and caught a few fish. Checked out a few State Parks in surrounding areas with amazing waterfalls! Cabin was comfortable for accommodating 6 adults. Most amenities were provided. Make sure to pack beach towels as they are not provided and also measuring cups, if cooking. Although we checked the electrical panel, we were unable to get the electrical outlets working in the bathroom. Did not call owner, we just moved mirror to another room with working outlet. Great, relaxing, getaway!

peaceful stay

I am not sure I would have stayed here after reading the 2 star review from a few days ago, however, I am glad we did! Just to be clear there is a handrail on the stars. There was a exterminator there when we arrived, saw only 2 ants during the 7 days. The place was very clean, even given that the yard is very sandy. Grill lite with the long nose lighter very easily and it too was clean and had grill tools to keep it that way after you use it. Beds were a bit soft, but this a log cabin in the north woods not a Hilton. Plenty of boats to play with. Fishing was hit or miss, but then again, I didn't spend a ton of time checking out the whole lake. It was nice to have 2 separate areas to watch TV. Saw deer in the yard almost every night. Would return.

Cabin stay

The property is very well kept, clean, and well stocked. Our group of three adults and four young children had a wonderful time, playing with the many boats/water crafts available. The beach and dock were great. The little one had played with sand toys, and the older ones splashed and swam for hours. The property is close to a fun restaurant, and we enjoyed their walleye fish fry. A gas station/general store was convenient for misc supplies. There were a variety of futons and beds available, and we used them all. The adults bought two day fishing licenses and the older children had a ball catching and releasing blue gills, caught off one of the canoes. We bought some box fans to keep the upper bedrooms cool enough at night, but the basement has nice ceiling fans. It was a wonderful family time and we are thankful for the lovely venue and grateful to the host, who was very attentive and helpful. Thank you again, Tim!

This nice cabin is set back in a very quiet, relaxing, and peaceful community of cabins. The host was very kind and even gave recommendations on things to do near by in the surrounding area. Loons were present which was enjoyed by all. We spent so much time down in the water, a few of us got a little more sun than we could handle- sign of a lot of fun and relaxing on the lake!

We had a great time at the lake house. The kids couldn't get enough of the lake and all the activities that came with it. The cabin was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils and gadgets you would need to cook. They also had fishing poles and sand toys to use. Pack some DVDs. They had about a dozen to choose from there. The Wi-Fi can be hit or miss. But we were outside too much to notice.

The Cabin was everything and more than was promised, there were more accessories included with the cabin than we had time in the week to use. The Setup was great and provided us with all the comforts we could have asked for. We will definitely try this Cabin again!!

We had a really fun time with this up north lake cabin. Our kids enjoyed playing and fishing in the lake. The cabin was very clean and easy to get to. The only downside was that we couldn't get the ignitor on the grill to work (easily remedied with an aimflame).

Great property. We were fortunate to get such great lake access on Fourth of July weekend. The cabin and property you were exactly as stated in the listing. Clean, home and kitchen, conveniences, and greet water toys that we use every one of them. And, my son caught a 20+ inch walleye off a rowboat.

Great Cabin, Great Lake

My family had a great time at this cabin. Cabin was clean and had space for everyone to be comfortable. A very quiet lake, there are many different boats to use on the water, 2 person kayak was excellent with our 5 yr old. My kids caught a lot of fish right off the dock. Owner was very responsive with questions that came up. Overall a great vacation. A few more bathroom towel hooks and some empty cabinet space in the kitchen would be a nice convenience.
