Lac du Flambeau accommodation from NZ$201

Very welcoming. Clean and comfortable.

The area is nice and the place was fine. Very rustic cabin in a beautiful setting. It was good value for the price. There seemed to be a miscommunication with the listing as it clearly showed boats and the dock in the photos and the listing said outside amenities was “boat” but when I asked the host she said it was a private dock and private boat launch. I’m not sure what this meant. I also had to ask for details like what to do with the garbage. This kind of stuff should be in a welcome package or email. Overall a nice stay with a few small hiccups.

I was nervous about booking this property because of some of the poor reviews. But I booked anyways because the location was right for our needs. Let me start by saying a don’t mind “rustic accommodations” but this place lacked care. There was trash from other guests in the fire pit, the yard and a bucket on the porch with waste. Upon entry it was clean, but as you go in there is a significant slope to the rear of the home, the linoleum is rippled, the porch is uneven with warped and has rotting boards that presented a serious trip and slip hazard. At the rear of the home is the bathroom. The shower required approximately 45 minutes between showers because of standing water build up. There were ample towels but it was my perception that they were there because the hosts are aware of the problem and this is their idea of a fix for now. I was travelling with my mother who is very spry but nearly 70 and I have several safety concerns. Additionally, there is no porch light, some of the lights in the home were burnt out and there was a lack of basic supplies like trash bags. When we attempted to follow the limited check out instructions and take out the trash, we found that it was pad locked shut. The neighbors informed us it was closed for the season, they agreed to take care of the trash for us. Lastly, my family that was camped nearby, came to fish in the afternoon, upon arrival we found that midway through our stay they pulled our dock without notice.
