2nd time here nice place for a fishing trip
Nice place. All the basics for a guys fishing trip. Clean and comfortable. Some blackout shades on the east side would be nice as 5am sunrise shines bright. Bring your own soap or body wash and at least 150' of extension cord if charging boat batteries at the dock. We know the drill and would be back.

Peaceful lake getaway
Butternut Lake is a little slice of heaven. The house was clean, equipped, and plenty of space for our family. All my questions were quickly answered before or during the stay. We enjoyed fishing, canoeing and swimming daily. Great hiking and biking were also close by. We appreciated the fish cleaning station so we could enjoy our catch for dinner. Great quiet get away to unplug and enjoy the Northwoods.

A Well Needed Get-Away on a Crystal Clear Lake
Reservations and Communication with owner was excellent! Always quick to respond to our questions. Home was very clear, no clutter. Lake was crystal clear. Close enough to Eagle River & Three Lakes that if you needed something, it would be about 1 1/2 hour roundtrip. Remember you are in the National Forest. So, so many Loons on the lake! Heard them during the day and into the night. House had no A/C, dishwasher, outlets in bathrooms that worked. We managed just fine without! Plenty of room for up to 8 adults. We brought our boat and tied up once to pier, had minor damage due to waves of other boats. A boat lift would have been perfect, but not expected. Boat launch only 1/2 mile away and only $5/day to launch. Very quiet lake, peaceful!! Decided next time, might not even bring the boat. Sat in the water reading Patterson collection of boats or on the large deck overlooking the lake! Perfect vacation, didn't want it to end!!

Beautiful butternut!
Cabin was very clean. Although we have been coming to butternut for over 30 years, the family grows and more space is needed. This fit the bill perfectly!! Enjoyed the canoes and the surroundings! Thank you to Alana for prompt reply’s to all my questions. The s’mores were an extra touch👍.

Clean comfortable lake home
This was a sligltly dated but clean and comfortable 3 bedroom lake house. All the basics we needed for a weekend fishing trip. We were very comfortablenand enjoyed the fire pit at night. If you're fishing and bringing a boat and want to leave it at the dock make sure to bring minimum 125' of extension cord to charge batteries.

Great & Relaxing Place
My family & I had one of the greatest family vacations there. Great communication with the owner. Loved the amenities of the place. Had fun having the boat on the lake for fishing and water tubing. Had fun with the games and just relaxing inside during most evening & night times. Absolutely had a fantastic time, and everybody of all ages had fun! Thank you so much for the great stay & the memories that we all created there.

Great cottage in the northwoods.
Nice open concept cottage. Clean accommodations tucked away in the national forest on crystal clear Butternut Lake. Close to the Eagle River Chain of Lakes. Caught some nice smallmouth right from the dock. Grandkids loved it.
