We had an amazing long weekend! Our dog had the time of her life running around and stalking fish from the dock. You can't beat the privacy and the lakefront access. The cabin was well stocked with all necessities-- including beach towels! The grill was awesome and we loved fishing off the dock!

My husband and I, with our two kids (14 and 9) stayed over the weekend and had a wonderful time!The cabin has a fully stocked kitchen, making meals easy. We took advantage of the board games available and the cozy living space! The cabin has its own lake access but is also located next to the public launch access - we loaded up our vehicle and drove out onto the ice for ice fishing!The community was hosting a Kids Fishing Tournament (free of charge) and we spent the day out fishing on the lake - everyone was so friendly and we appreciated being invited to this event!Spooner is located only 10 minutes from this cabin making grocery shopping and good restaurants, easily available as well!Kate, our host, was very responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. We will definitely be booking again for another stay!

We stayed with our 2yr old lab and 11 yr old kid. Both had a great time! Very close to good restaurants and hiking trails. Kate was awesome! And the cabin was clean, well appointed and had a great beach, fire pit and dock. Great star gazing at night, including the Milky Way. Andromeda was faintly visible to the naked eye. Lots of board games to keep kids engaged.Very happy with the entire experience. Highly recommend for families.

The cabin was perfect for a casual bachelorette weekend with friends! Everything was clean and tidy, and we were really impressed with the number of amenities available to us. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes and cooking utensils we needed, and there was a whole basket of all sorts of toiletries for us to use. The lake and property were SO gorgeous and well-keot, and we loved watching the wildlife in the yard. We would love to stay here again!

Comfortable stay on a beautiful property

We enjoyed our stay so much on this beautiful lakefront property. The home was equipped with everything we needed. We did not use any outdoor equipment because our stay was short, but there were kayaks, paddleboards, and a pedal boat available. So grateful the home is dog friendly as well.

The cabin was clean and had a well stocked kitchen with cooking utensils and accessories which made cooking easy. We enjoyed the games and the bin of beach toys which was a huge plus for us with little kids. Check in was very easy and Kate was very responsive to messages and answering our questions.

Shell Lake is always the best

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin. We always appreciate a dog friendly property and boy did the dogs have fun! The road around the lake is great for walking and we enjoyed all the yard games too. The kitchen, linens, etc were all well-stocked, and the beds were comfortable. It was nice to have laundry as well. I didn’t need to communicate with the host as everything was as it should be and check in was easy.

Perfection

Our family had such a wonderful time. It was so well equipped, we had everything we would ever need and more. They really put a lot of effort into making this rental welcoming and enjoyable. They use the space of the cabin and yard so well. There is so much to do right there at the cabin we only had to leave to eat. It is also much more spacious than the photos make it appear. It's really just perfect. Our family cannot wait to return next summer
