Great place to stay!
We had a wonderful time at Ripley Retreat. The house was very clean upon arrival and checking in was easy. The place was the perfect size for our family of 5 with enough room to sleep as well as spread out when needed. We enjoyed ice fishing with tipups and were able to catch a few Northerns and Bass not too far from shore. We would love to stay here again! Thanks!

All the basics for a great getaway!
Last minute fall weekend getaway. Serene Lake in just the right location. Had everything we needed for planned meals at home with quick excursions to Hunt Hill, Hayward, and the Namekagon. The dock was still in - chased around some grebes, otters, and watches the bald eagles build a nest. Nothing else I could want for. Thanks.

Perfect place for making memories!
The Ripley beach retreat was a perfect place for our family to enjoy time together swimming and playing in the sand. We are so excited that it is back on VRBO and look forward to many years of making family memories in Sarona. Thanks Lehmans!!

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
We are Alison & Paul, from Hudson WI. We purchased this cabin to enjoy with our 2 young sons. When we aren't able to be here ourselves, we like to share it with others. We hope you enjoy the wonderful beachfront location and stunning sunsets as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We loved that this property was on a large beach in the middle of "Vacationland" (Washburn County). We have 2 young sons, and the combination of the beach, shallow/gradual slope into the water, and super clear water made it appealing for us with small children. As adults, we also love sitting out in our lounge chairs under beach umbrellas soaking in the lake view as our kids play around us.

What makes this property unique

-The best beach we've seen in a lakefront property
-Very clear lake water
-Gradual slope to the water and into the water - kids can touch for a long way.
-Small recreational lake (Quiet, but still recreational. Water gets pretty warm)
