Moon Lake Serenade
The home greeted us on a warm afternoon and we found the two-bedroom accommodations to a be a spacious, inviting,warmly decorated, comfortable home. Unlike cold motel rooms, this place had a lived-in feel that reflected the pride and love Jannifer, the host, provided. That evening the rising moon slowly smothered a sea of stars that captivated our attention and filled the night with a marvelous glow. The peace and silence of the place was only interrupted by the sounds of fish splashing the the lake or birds and night critters moving about. A perfect getaway.

Over the Moon about Moon Lake
My family and I had a lovely stay here. I would recommend it for groups of any age. I felt safe the nights I stayed there alone, and things went well the nights that my daughter and small grandchildren stayed with me as well. Our two dogs loved the location. We were respectful and kept them on leashes outside as there are other dogs in the neighborhood. The location is very remote, but that's what I was looking for- a place to escape civilization and get away from it all. The peace and quiet was wonderful, and although we didn't see much wildlife (other than squirrels and chipmunks), we did hear frogs, birds and coyotes across the lake in the evenings. We fished off the new dock and took long walks. We cooked together and ate on the 2 decks. The sleeping arrangements worked great. The beds were comfortable and there was an abundance of pillows and blankets. The host was responsive and great to work with. The caretaker lived two doors down and we enjoyed talking to him several times. I would definitely book this place again. The only stressor for me was I missed the No Wifi in the description and I was working my job remotely and working on graduate school half the time I was there. I limped along with a cellphone hotspot but only had 2 bars of service at best.

A perfect weekend getaway!
We had a wonderful time relaxing and our first impression walking into the cottage was how clean and neat everything was. All that was listed was exactly accurate and it felt welcoming and was really a well decorated cottage with a feeling of positive vibes and happiness. It was no doubt the most clean place we have ever stayed and we had a great time walking and sitting on the balcony and just totally feeling relaxed. We also met the neighbor Fred who was very friendly . Our golden retriever was comfortable as well in her surrounding! It was very nice that rules etc was listed when you walk in the door and information on how to use things. Thanks ! We highly recommend this place . Jan and Bill and Sunny

Great Get-Away for Sisters
My 2 sisters and I do not get to see each other very often. This year my nephew was graduating from UW-Stevens Point, so my sister from South Carolina was coming to the area. Iola is about a 40 minute drive from Stevens Point. This vacation home was the perfect location for the 3 of us Sisters to get together and catch up on our news. Nature is all around you, from sunrise to sunset. Hearing the barred owl in the evening was one of my favorite sounds! Being able to bring the family dog (our Scottish Terrier) was an added perk! Highly recommend this home!

Peaceful and no Internet
A peaceful location with great views of the lake from the front deck and smaller bedroom. No internet and spotty phone service. We come to the area every year to connect with family and thought I had found a new place and sadly, it won't work for us without internet or good phone connection. Will not be back.
