Wonderful stay at a lovely property! Exactly as described in the listing, but even better in person. Everything about the place is done “right.” Beds were comfy, towels were soft, water was hot—just wonderful. It feels very secluded, but is still close to the town for groceries, restaurants, golf, etc. There’s a lot to do on the property, both inside and outside! The owner was super easy to work with and communication was great from beginning to end. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Love this place

This was our second time staying at BlackBerry Lodge, and it was just as amazing as the first stay. We enjoy fishing off the dock- very easy to catch bluegill. The cabin is meticulously clean, the host is always available and check-in is easy. We used the grill both times, and it is wonderful. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place.

Family Get Together

This Wautoma cabin provided a fabulous venue for our get together with our son and daughter-in-law for a delayed 40th Birthday celebration for our son. We enjoyed fall walks on the property, biking country roads, a fun fire pit, and watching our son and daughter-in-law introduce their dog to the canoe. The owner was very responsive to all of our questions and I look forward to an opportunity for a repeat visit.

Something for everyone

Place is as advertised. Andrew provides a comprehensive welcome document to ensure you are aware of guest expectation but also neat insights. I would recommend bring your own toiletries and extra paper towels. This place is designed to accommodate the whole family and it was so dog friendly. My dog had a blast!

Fine visit to Wautoma cabin

I'll echo what others have said. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cabin is very nice and very well stocked. The surroundings are great and dogs as well as humans had fun exploring. And we definitely took advantage of having access to the lake, canoe, kayaks. Andrew was a fine host--on the ball with instructions and checking that we got in OK, etc. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful cabin in the woods

Cabin was very clean and modern, while keeping the log cabin feel. Owners have thought of everything, with little touches all over the place (seating by creek on trails, buckets to carry wood, life jackets for the boats, etc.). Offering the wood for purchase (honor system) was also a great perk. We caught many fish at the lake, saw all kinds of interesting animals (giant turtle, woodpeckers, owl). Truly a wonderful place!

Great getaway!!!

My family really enjoyed the peace and tranquility. They also enjoyed watching the wild life. The lake if very low and did not see any fish. If staying the in area and plan to fish, you may want to fish on one of the larger lakes in the area. There is an abundance of lakes in the area.

Anniversary

Hello - it was wonderful. Everything was so organized and stocked in the cabin. Lake is perfect for small children and/or pets. It has a sandy bottom that is very shallow for quite a while before you get into deeper water. Perfect!

Sweet Relief

What a delightful stay! Our group vacationed at this wonderful property to celebrate a 50th birthday. We had the BEST time. From taking walks on the incredible property, to relaxing in the sauna after a long, beautiful day, you cannot go wrong! It was a sweet relief from hectic busy days. Also, on a more practical note, the beds are comfortable and the owner is very responsive. Zero complaints!!!

Little Get Away

We were looking for a secludeded cabin by a lake that allowed dogs. This was it. A sweet cozy log cabin, a stream, a lake and lots of trails. Foosball and darts on rainy days, and a large covered porch with a comfy couch was perfect. Solidly built cabin, nicely decorated with quality furnishings. It was nice to have access to the kayaks, canoe and paddle boat too.

Just what we needed!

We absolutely loved our mini vacation! Got out of the craziness and right into tranquility! Beautiful log home with hiking trails and a great little beach. We even went canoeing which is something we haven’t done since high school church youth group trips. Yep, I’m still kinda sore😉. The weather was perfect and so was our stay at BlackBerry Lodge. Can’t wait to bring the family back in the summer! You guys rock!

Perfect property for comfort, fun, and nature loving!

This property and host was my favorite VRBO rental ever. The host was flexible, kind, and responsive. The property was AMAZING, and the lodge had every detail perfect for comfortable enjoyment of nature. Highlights included watching birds and deer at the feeders, walking the trails, watching sunrises and snow fall from the comfy furniture on the covered porch, reading by the fire, kayaking, moving from snow to sauna, playing games in the hut, and quality and affordable dinner at the supper club. The kitchen was well stocked with things most rentals overlook. Comfy beds. Sad we could only stay 2 nights. We plan to return in summer! Thank you for an amazing stay!!!!!!

Great, hard to find property!

Our family of five (three kids and our dog) enjoyed a long weekend at Blackberry Lodge, and it was great. It’s rare to find a place that offers everything this lodge does – privacy, seclusion in the woods, a lake for fishing and swimming, pet-friendly accommodations, and a beautifully furnished cabin. We spent our days playing cornhole, kayaking, swimming, paddleboarding, and canoeing. The Weber grill and cozy porch area were big highlights for us. We briefly used the sauna, but think this would be a great highlight in the fall and winter. This property truly has everything you need to relax and disconnect!

Perfect Family Vacation Cabin

We had the most amazing time during our stay at this oasis in the woods. The owner of the property has truly thought of every detail. The house was stunning and we spent much time sitting out on the wrap around porch drinking our coffee in the mornings and down at the lake fishing, utilizing the kayaks, paddle boards, and other water craft and watching the kids play in the sand. We loved how the water was relatively shallow for quite a ways out before getting deeper. This was perfect for our young children and for the dogs. We would highly recommend this beautiful cabin for your family vacations. We will definitely be back again!
