annandale

This pet friendly cabin is a perfect lake getaway. Situated on French Lake, Martha’s Beach House is surrounded by 26 different lakes and all within 10 miles from each other. No matter the kind of fish you want to catch, the scenery you desire or the motor type you want to use, there is something for everyone here. What’s even better, it is less than an hour from the twin cities and less than 10 miles away from a winery so no matter what your party desires to do, it’s all within reach of some of the best music scenes, restaurants, attractions, breweries and wineries. This cabin sleeps 10!

If staying close by sounds more appealing to you, enjoy the large L shaped deck during a romantic sunset on the lake or play in the large yard a competitive game of whatever you choose to bring. This Minnesota does have a lakeside fire pit for late night social hour or for an authentic, rustic dinner over the fire.

The nice thing we enjoy about vacation rentals is often there is an ability to wash your clothes and less packing when things are stocked such as linens and a stocked kitchen and this cabin does just that! It also has a charcoal grill, and a canoe to use! No need to bring beach chairs or towels, the cabin stocks them so you can have more room in the car for what you really need to bring….the kids and dog of course! Speaking of which, get the kids excited and a peaceful house to yourself-take them to the bunkhouse to sleep! It holds 4.

Battle of the Wisconsin Waterparks

The Great Debate of Natural Lakes versus Wisconsin Waterparks

   It’s clear to us that we have an obsession with Wisconsin lakes, which is great because Wisconsin is filled with them, so much, that you would be hard pressed to be able to go on vacation without having a lake within a thirty minute drive. We also love the waterparks, where thrills of being upside down and turned around on a ride can excite every little kid in us. The Wisconsin Dells has the largest concentration of waterparks in the world! We can give you the cold hard facts on why Wisconsin is truly a battle of the waterparks but only you can decide which one truly wins the crown.

Vilas County:

In one county alone, Vilas has one of the largest concentration of freshwater lakes on the planet. With that being said, almost all 1,300 lakes are surrounded by pristine forests, trails and rolling hills. This is your chance to strap on some skis or sit in a tube and go for a wild ride across the vast lakes. Pack a picnic and paddle out to observe the sunset setting on the lake. You can also drop a line and catch dinner (at a fraction of the cost than at a restaurant).  In the winter, you can pick and choose between ice fishing, ice skating, ATV, ice boating, and cross country skiing. Can you imagine standing in line for 30 minutes for a chance to do one of these lakeside activities? After a long day outside putting at a nearby golf course or being out on the boat, you might want to head back to your cabin for refreshments or to sit by the fire and roast marshmallows.

Wisconsin Dells:

With so many options for water play, this concrete jungle will have your head spinning. Lots of record breaking rides, fun restaurants, shows, and attractions bring a lot of tourism into Wisconsin from surrounding areas in the Midwest. Whether you like to hit the wave pool, slide down the tubes, surf the tide, or run around in the sprinklers, there is fun for every age and level of exercise. These waterparks spark lots of creativity. You could be a pirate, Hades, or the captain of a ship. You can rock climb, bowl, gamble, or zipline through the trees. The Wisconsin Dells can be overcrowded and a little heavy on the checkbook but when a family rents a vacation home, they can escape the hustle and bustle without missing a beat while saving a few dollars by gathering groceries and cooking at home. Some are even near a lake for the best of both worlds! To enjoy Wisconsin Dells attractions while vacationing in a cabin, lake front cabin, or vacation rental, click on one of these surrounding towns:

   No matter what you choose, there will always be plenty of water to play on. Choose your next cabin or vacation rental in Wisconsin and you wil surely be pleased with both but we want to know your opinion! What do you think is better for a vacation and why?
