Driftwood Ranch

Nestled on the shores of Big Arbor Vitae Lake, this meticulously renovated ranch home offers a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces. With two rentals on-site, the property provides ample room for larger gatherings. Boasting two piers, it's a haven for fishing enthusiasts, offering access to the renowned walleye, bass, musky, and pan fish of the lake. For those without a boat, nearby businesses offer convenient rentals.

The charm of Driftwood extends beyond its scenic location. Positioned on the expansive Big Arbor Vitae Lake, a paradise for anglers, the home ensures a cozy retreat with all the essentials. Whether you prefer casting a line off the pier or exploring the 1000+ acre lake by boat, the options are abundant. The property is surrounded by approximately 85% state-owned land, enhancing the natural serenity. For relaxation, the home provides a sun porch, perfect for unwinding with a good book or engaging in a game of Yahtzee.

Safety is a priority, with two cameras at the back of the property for the well-being of both owners and renters. Notably, there are no cameras within the rental spaces.

It's essential to be aware that in mid-October, the piers will be removed for the winter and will be reinstalled before Memorial Weekend unless a late lake thaw affects the schedule.

  Overall satisfaction:

  a guest from Darlington, WI does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We feel really bad for the owner, nice place with a nice remodel but Anchor Rentals isn't representing them well at all.
  
  We showed up at 4:00 pm but had not received a code from Anchor Rentals. When we called to ask for the code, their auto attendant phone system's mailbox was full. Messages were sent to Anchor Rentals and VRBO.
  
  Half-hour later, thinking we were going to need to return home or find a hotel, we tracked down a neighbor who sent a text to the owner. The owner called back a little after 5:00 and gave us a code only to find the house had not been cleaned from the last renters! She too had not been able to get in contact with Anchor.
  
  We cleaned the kitchen ourselves for dinner and finally received a call from Jessica at Anchor who promised a cleaner would be there within the hour. Nearly two hours later the cleaner showed up and didn't leave until 8:30.
  
  Once the cleaner left we realized the a/c wasn't working and there was only one towel. Anchor gave us the owner's code for the basement for towels and said they would check on the a/c. Unfortunately, only two windows were able to be opened and the a/c was never fixed making the house extremely uncomfortable.
  
  Talking with the Jessica at Anchor, we agreed on a 50% refund of our trip cost but they shorted us $114.31. Jessica said she would refer us to senior management.
  After not hearing back I also emailed Anchor but Anchor still hasn't followed up on the different.
