Nice Place on relaxing lake
Property was very clean and had everything we needed. Fire pit area is awesome, and didn’t have to start up the grill because you can cook right over the fire. Pan fish and large mouth right off the dock. Hope to be back.

Peaceful Getaway
We enjoyed our stay at the Hotter cottage on Dad's Lake. It was so peaceful and the weather was perfect for our fishing adventures, walks, nights around the firepit and exploring Eagle River. The cottage has a lovely great room that we didn't use much which is a shame as the view of the lake in the morning is gorgeous. I would suggest putting a TV in that room for families to gather and really enjoy the setting. We had a group of 4 and did fine in the smaller living area next to the kitchen, but the early morning sunshine sometimes made it difficult to watch TV. Maybe a shade or blinds could be added here. Loved our week there and the colors were just starting to turn, so it was a sight to see. Recommend highly.

OK ..but
Biggest issue was the weather was hot and the lack of ac and especially dehumidifier was problematic. Was unaware the main bedroom was on a lower level which was also very dank and musty. Found it pretty unpleasant and definitely impacted our stay! Overall we found the house to have one good main living room which was nicely furnished etc but felt the rest of the house and outside area to be less than ideal but not terrible…

Great stay! Great views. Boat, canoe and katak available to use and we used them all. Fire out area was big and had lots if seating and you can cook on it.

Washer and dryer with complimentary laundry detergent was very nice. Great stay! Had a great relaxing weak stay.

Truly a beautiful spot! The lake offered glimpses of eagles, loons, and deer. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, & fishing. The no wake lake allowed our kids to explore without worry. The lake was quiet. The cottage offered beautiful views, plenty of space and activities for down times.

Mystery Entry with little light and scary backroads
The cabin was wonderful, very comfortable and cozy. We received no directions how to get to cabin, and our GPS took on through ATV trails, unbelievable. I did ask a neighbor if there was a roa, and he did tell me how to get to Cty Rd G. There were no paper products(Kleenex) and other cabins had supplied. There outside lighting was terrible, had a motion sensor that turned on for 5 seconds, if lucky, they need a regular outside switch. It is so dark there, we had a dog we kept him leashed, but was so hard to see door and see where he was. The TV service was terrible. There were no directions on how to use, one of the tv controls didn't even work. Could receive on broadcasting channels ABC! CBS! NBC Thank you. We did lock key inside cabin when we left, we left Thursday. I did a load of towels, had no dryer to dry them couldn't get it to run, it did turn on but wouldn't start, again no directions Thank you, Susan Beskehow to use. We did not strip bed, sorry, saw no instructions on needing to do that. When got home saw on iPad what we were to do.

A gorgeous piece of property. Comments included "If I owned this property I would live here year around." The lock box was in a difficult place for a senior person to reach and see. The online code had an apostrophe first so we were looking for that too--confusing.

Relaxing getaway.
We needed a place to stay that was closer to the zoo so we could get to our family dog sooner and not have to travel with a baby there and back home in one day. We are so glad we stayed the extra days. Nice calming and relaxing time on the lake even if it rains for a day.
