Family get away
This cabin was perfect for our family get away. It was clean and had everything we needed. It was bigger than I expected but otherwise just as advertised. These owners were such a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be renting here again!!

Perfect for the trails!
Nice, clean and close to trails. All roads in Luther are sxs approved so it was great! Road over 200 miles of trails on our 3 day trip! No wifi was great, regular antenna channels, and peace! The view, the wildlife and the overall relaxing atmosphere made it awesome! Worth it!

Great little place to stay not too far from skiing
We rented the house because we were skiing at Caberfae. It is about 25 minute drive so not too far. We ate at Logger's Landing right in Luther which was great. We arrived late in the evening so it was a little bit hard to find the property in the dark so those arriving late look for the large sign out front with the One-way watertight mill name on it.

Perfect Peaceful Get-a-Way
We were here with our family and two dogs for a long weekend. The fishing was great. The rowboat was fun and the fire pit with Edison lights at night was perfect for making memories! Clean as can be! Beds were comfortable and we didn’t need anything for the kitchen but food! 10/10 from us and the hosts were available when needed. Highly recommend.

Enchanted cottage more apt description
Waking up to coffee made with freshly ground coffee beans provided by the host was a treat, but sipping that coffee on the back deck overlooking the beautiful pond watching swans gliding across the water was magical. We even saw an eagle land in a tree and got a good view with the binoculars the host left for our use. I can’t wait to go back, I miss the peace and the swans already.

Cabin Escape
My parents joined my husband, stepson, our puppies and me for a wonderful extended weekend. All of the amenities were as expected and the kitchen was better equipped than we had hoped. We took the row boat around the pond a few times to enjoy the wildlife, had a cookout at the campfire and walked into town a couple of times. Definitely a five star experience for us. I only hope our future travels can be as enjoyable.

Beautiful, clean, up North getaway
We haven't even left yet, and we are enjoying this so much. We caught fish off the dock, enjoyed a great fire, and saw fireworks across the dam last night. The home is immaculate and so nicely decorated. Even our kids commented on how nice everything is. Spacious enough for the 5 of us, yet still felt cozy. Enjoyed dinner and live music at the North Bar. We have loved everything about this stay!

Enjoyed the wildlife
We really enjoyed watching the swans, geese, ducks and the bald eagle in the backyard. The pond was so peaceful in the early morning. Perfect to sit on the back deck with a cup of coffee. The hammock that was in the closet was enjoyed by our youngest among 2 trees by the firepit in the evening. One goose enjoyed nibbling on the apples that had dropped from the apple tree. It was a nice place to relax and unwind and hit the reset button!
