Relaxing stay on Madeline Island

Our stay at Gooseberry Cottage was everything we had hoped for. It was a great home base to explore all that Madeline Island has to offer. The property was very private and peaceful and we had lots of fun on the beach in the lake. The home was very comfortable for our family of 4.

We loved our stay at Gooseberry Cottage. The property was awesome. We loved the private beach and proximity to town and other destinations on the island. Our only regret is not staying a few more days. Thank you for a memorable getaway for our family.

We were looking for a cabin/cottage feel, lake access we could enjoy as a family whenever we wanted too, and a place to bring our pup. This location exceeded our expectations and met all our needs. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for making this property available to rent.

Great location for our family vacation

Gooseberry cabin was the perfect spot for our family of 4 to get away and enjoy Madeline Island. The cabin was clean, the beds were comfortable, the beach was fantastic to enjoy the lake and watch stars at night. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed and we used a couple of the board games on a rainy day. Thanks for hosting our family 😀
