Great view!
Great view and location. Off season so dock was pulled up and not able to take advantage of. Supper club next door closed and possibly opening at a later date under new ownership. Stayed with friends so really enjoyed the indoor beautiful bar!

Very nice
This was a comfortable, clean, modern cabin to stay in. We enjoyed our stay very much! The only drawback was the low water pressure and loud sounding water heater or pump or whatever it was after we used any water.

All good. Pictures need to be updated to be more accurate.
The property was great. Everything we needed was there, and clean. The key box was a little difficult to get into but not a big deal. The reason why this was not a 5 star rating was that the cabin was not as pictured. The beds in the bedrooms were not the same(not as many as listed).. the layout in the sun room was different. The bar was different than pictured. The frig and table and chains were even different.... had we planned for as many to stay as it listed it could sleep we would have been very uncomfortable. Again... for us not a big deal, we didn't need all those beds. It was just not what we expected when we got there.. again none of that affected us.. just had to double check address felt like we were in the wrong cabin.

Nice getaway spot
This cabin was only an hour away from home. Location and neighbors were great. Had lunch at the Bar a couple doors down. Great food. Wish we would have made it for the Fish Fry on Friday. We could tell by the photos the lake might not be great for swimming. We took the drive into Portage and swam at Silver Lake. They have Kayaks available for rent. The cabin was very nice and clean.

Adequate
Adequate if you just need a place to stay or for a place to eat and sleep while spending your days on the water. Nice location right on the lake. Key was missing from the lockbox upon arival. Management was quick to provide a key but it was her copy. Window behind the bar was unlocked. Didn't feel very secure. But we saw pelicans! Yay!

It was okay
The house itself was decent overall, but there were some issues. It did not seem like this house had been cleaned in between guest stays. Floors were not vacuumed and the whole house including the linens and towels smelled of strong cigarette smoke. The description of the stay says “No Smoking”. It was difficult to stay/sleep in a house that smelled like cigarettes.

Buffalo Lake cabin...
The interior is as pictured (except the couch is different and moved to south wall). We paid a premium price for this place because we wanted to use our boat on the lake and we thought this would work (from the pictures). This is not that kind of lake. It is choked out with weeds and protected lily pads. There is a narrow lane to use in the middle and people anchor and fish in that. Each cast from shore brings back a musky sized weed. Learned a lesson. If you only wish to look at the lake, this was ok. The bar next door was nice, had a real up north feel. Just leave the boat at home.

This is a beautiful, lakeside cabin
It's a very beautiful cabin, and very impressive woodwork inside. This is a low key, quiet spot on the lake. It was just what we needed. We got the impression this is a good place for fishing, definitely no crowded Dells here. Peggy & Marvin Greener

Great cottage on the lake
This was a wonderful property with direct lake access. Our stay was very relaxing and the we really enjoyed our weekend. It was nice having privacy, but also being a short drive into town to get supplies is quite convenient. The property was very clean, and we loved we were able to bring our 2 dogs along for a very reasonable small fee. My family and I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a nice getaway.

Cozy and Quiet
Our family of 4 and our dog stayed here for 4 days. It was clean and had just what we needed. We had a wonderful time fishing, sitting by the fire and playing cards at night. The road was not convenient for walking our dog and the lake was not great for swimming but we rented a pontoon and had a great time exploring Buffalo Lake!

Lovely cabin
This was a lovely cabin fit for 4. A couple of things I suggest is moving the large tv from the bar area no one can watch it over there comfortably and remove the extra beds no one can use. One major disappointment was the lake has so much algae and seaweed we could not fish, this was the main reason I choose this cabin with a dock. You can not swim in this lake either.
