Vacation rentals with a kayak in Ashland County

Great house with plenty of space and everything exactly as described in the listing. Great hostess, who responded to everything almost immediately. Suited our needs very well for a father-son ski trip!

This cabin was great for a group of snowmobilers. Direct access to the lake made getting to the trails easy. We admired the cleanliness and layout of the cabin and beds. We would definitely stay here again.

Homeowner was very responsive. Location was perfect as a base for travels. Did a little fishing and kayaking. Great deck overlooking the lake.

Cannot say enough about the beauty of this space. Location is close to so many things to do: both inside & out; on the water & on land; for a variety of ages. You could stay here & enjoy the space for a week or get out & explore. House was easily shared by my parents & I, & one brother stayed for a night. Nice layout to house & yard. Simply beautiful relaxing views & comfy furniture. Helpful hosts. Beautiful screened-in porch, back deck, & also coffee on the beach. We kayaked, hiked to waterfalls, went to a show at the Big Top Chautauqua, took a Grand Tour of the Apostle Islands, walked on the ferry to see Madeline Island’s museum & met the new director who shared info about the exhibit Passages (not to be missed!), met old friends, & visited a few restaurants. Washburn’s bookstore! Fall migration has started & birds are passing along the beach. In addition to exploring Washburn, Bayfield, & Cornucopia, we drove to Duluth to visit Glensheen, Fitgar’s, & Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory.

Makala is a great host. Prompt communication and pictures were accurate! Beautiful home and landscaping! Home had everything we needed, clean, comfortable and a beautiful location! Have already booked for next year!

As always, the cabin was great! We have stayed here a few times now and we love coming back!

My father and son stayed here on a 4 day fishing trip. Although it was more than i wanted to pay i have no complaints. Lake access was great! The house was very clean and had all the amenities that were needed. The driveway was a bit tricky but other than that it was a great stay!

This home’s location could not be better—it is nestled in the trees right on the lake and just steps aways from the ski hill allowing you to ski in and ski out! It was down a winding and hilly road that was easy to find with Marks instructions; I was grateful for the all wheel drive on our vehicle to get us there :) The house itself is also very impressive—it was beautiful, well constructed, clean and well stocked. Mark and his brother were super responsive and very friendly. We had a great stay!

The cabin was a great spot on Echo Lake, we enjoyed nightly fires by the fire pit. The cabin was close to town and shopping. Restaurants were easily accessible and delivered to the cabin. It was nice to have paddle boards and kayaks available for our kids. The dock was nice and we caught sunnies and perch off the dock. Chris and Janice were extremely helpful and responsive. Great hosts!

Usually you get to a place and it’s not quite what the pictures show but this was just the opposite… it was better! It was so cozy and peaceful, and the amenities were OUTSTANDING! We loved the nice touches, like the wonderful decor and how there were towels on our beds, fans in every room, and books and games laid out for every area. We will be coming back!

Our stay was excellent. The Wi-Fi wasn't working but Aron communicated that prior to our arrival and it didn't impact our stay. The area is a spectacular place to spend your time. The kitchen is a bit small but had pretty much everything we needed. I would highly recommend and would stay there again.

Loved the serenity of the place. Had deer walking through the yard every morning! We had 8 guests and the place facilitated our NYE group very well. Ample sleeping arrangements, lots of games and a game room. Great Place!

It was very relaxing. There was 6 of us, so it was nice to not be on top of each other. Very spacious! We will for sure book it again!

Beautiful cabin with easy access to snowmobile trail! We also loved that it was so close to Lazy Ace Saloon, which is a favorite when in the area. Hosts were great with communication. I would recommend if staying in the cold months to have heat turned up well before checkin as the heat takes a while to warm up the entire cabin. The beds were sooooo comfortable & all the hooks were very convenient for hanging sled gear. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much!!

Our stay at the Lakefront Mercer Cabin was exceptional. The cabin was comfortable and clean, and its location was great. Our group appreciated the updates to the bathrooms, kitchen, and living area and the vinyl collection is legit. We used this as a basecamp to do some cross country skiing and snow biking in the area and found it to be an ideal launching spot. The lake is quiet and beautiful; abounding with wildlife. We'd love to come back in the summer to do some kayaking. The guest contact, Dave was proactive, responsive, and friendly. We would definitely recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a comfortable space with history and charm; all with the comforts of home.

We had a great stay at Twin Rivers Resort! We came up with snowmobiles and had extremely easy access to the trails (no trailering) with many options on where to go. A super cute supper club was just next door with other bars and restaurants easy to access by sled or car ride. A couple of grocery store options within a short drive made things easy. The kitchen had everything you need and the cabin was cozy and relaxing after a long day of riding. Heidi was helpful and responded quickly when we reached out. We hope to return!
