I can’t say enough good things about our experience at Loondocks. Check-in was a breeze, the space is more lovely than pictures can show, and the hosts were flexible and extremely responsive to all our questions.
From cards and board games to paddle boards and floaties to lawn games and a bonfire pit, there were endless options for activities. There was an Alexa device and an Apple TV, too (which we didn’t use, but is nice to have available).
The location was great, both in regards to accessibility from the cities and being located right on the lake. The main house and the bunk house were both decorated in a wonderfully tasteful north woods style. It felt clean and trendy but still like a cabin — I’ve had my fill of “rustic” (a.k.a. old/dark/musty) cabin experiences so this was a welcome change. We didn’t end up going into town except to get more propane, but it was an easy 10 minute drive and the hosts provided a binder with restaurant suggestions and other thoughtful tid-bits as well.
We had a few out-of-the-ordinary things happen during our stay — a hail storm that knocked the power out on our first night and locked the gas stove, then also running out of propane for the grill. After letting the hosts know, they called the utilities companies to make sure things got turned on ASAP and talked us through getting the stove working as well as taking care of the grill.
From the moment we got there until check out we all kept wishing we had planned a longer stay. Despite the rain and hail, it was truly a joy to stay here and we all hope to go back next summer!
