Wonderful stay at a lovely property! Exactly as described in the listing, but even better in person. Everything about the place is done “right.” Beds were comfy, towels were soft, water was hot—just wonderful. It feels very secluded, but is still close to the town for groceries, restaurants, golf, etc. There’s a lot to do on the property, both inside and outside! The owner was super easy to work with and communication was great from beginning to end. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Blackberry Lodge. We couldn’t ask for a better host whose excellent communication and attention to detail helped us to feel nothing but relaxed and comfortable. From the tastefully furnished and clean lodge, to the added surprise of the game hut, and everyone’s favorite part - the wonderful trail leading to the beautiful lake. The fishing was amazing, we loved all the water toys, and even our puppy got to swim for the very first time. Thank you so much for allowing us to share your beautiful property. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Beautiful property! Our two teenagers had a great time fishing, swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding, but I have to say this place would have been a dream when they were elementary school age. The clean, clear water in the creeks and lake (which has a nice large shallow area) as well as the paths through the woods would keep smaller explorers happy all day! Super clean, well appointed, great communication with property owner. KRB barbecue was our favorite spot for food and my husband and son enjoyed a round of golf nearby as well. Mama deer and her two babies stopped by a few times as well!

Great tranquil place! Loved being in the woods and having my morning coffee on the large deck. Great place for bird watching. Also deer came right up to the back porch. If you like to fish they were bitting wether you were on the dock or out in the boat!!

Perfect property for comfort, fun, and nature loving!

This property and host was my favorite VRBO rental ever. The host was flexible, kind, and responsive. The property was AMAZING, and the lodge had every detail perfect for comfortable enjoyment of nature. Highlights included watching birds and deer at the feeders, walking the trails, watching sunrises and snow fall from the comfy furniture on the covered porch, reading by the fire, kayaking, moving from snow to sauna, playing games in the hut, and quality and affordable dinner at the supper club. The kitchen was well stocked with things most rentals overlook. Comfy beds. Sad we could only stay 2 nights. We plan to return in summer! Thank you for an amazing stay!!!!!!

Family Get Together

This Wautoma cabin provided a fabulous venue for our get together with our son and daughter-in-law for a delayed 40th Birthday celebration for our son. We enjoyed fall walks on the property, biking country roads, a fun fire pit, and watching our son and daughter-in-law introduce their dog to the canoe. The owner was very responsive to all of our questions and I look forward to an opportunity for a repeat visit.

Just what we needed!

We absolutely loved our mini vacation! Got out of the craziness and right into tranquility! Beautiful log home with hiking trails and a great little beach. We even went canoeing which is something we haven’t done since high school church youth group trips. Yep, I’m still kinda sore😉. The weather was perfect and so was our stay at BlackBerry Lodge. Can’t wait to bring the family back in the summer! You guys rock!

Love this place

This was our second time staying at BlackBerry Lodge, and it was just as amazing as the first stay. We enjoy fishing off the dock- very easy to catch bluegill. The cabin is meticulously clean, the host is always available and check-in is easy. We used the grill both times, and it is wonderful. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place.

Nice home tucked away in the woods.

This is a lovely tucked away in the trees type of home. Lot’s of wild life near the property and cute winding paths and trails. The road leading to the house is like having your own personal tunnel of trees which was nice every time we left and returned to the cabin. I will say this is a secluded house in terms of not seeing other homes nearby but as far as sound it's not all that secluded. There is a nearby house across the creek which you can't see but you can definitely hear if they are "noisy neighbors" which in our case our last couple of days they were. Our peaceful, serenity of mother nature, animal, and tree sounds got drowned out from loud blasting music, banging sounds like they were building something or playing very loud yard games. Thankfully it was just the last couple of days of our trip and not our whole trip. Sound really travels. Communication with Andrew was great he answered all questions, responded promptly and was very courteous. We enjoyed the water toys on the lake too, which was very nice. A few suggestions for the house it can use more storage. A table with some drawers along the wall the staircase is on and a small side table next to the sliding door could be helpful as well. Maybe some more shelves under the two existing one’s and books removed from their current location in kitchen to some shelves. The two beds should switch locations as upstairs is bigger more of a master suite. We enjoyed our trip very much and escaped our hectic city lives.

Great, hard to find property!

Our family of five (three kids and our dog) enjoyed a long weekend at Blackberry Lodge, and it was great. It’s rare to find a place that offers everything this lodge does – privacy, seclusion in the woods, a lake for fishing and swimming, pet-friendly accommodations, and a beautifully furnished cabin. We spent our days playing cornhole, kayaking, swimming, paddleboarding, and canoeing. The Weber grill and cozy porch area were big highlights for us. We briefly used the sauna, but think this would be a great highlight in the fall and winter. This property truly has everything you need to relax and disconnect!
