Very peaceful. The cabin was immaculate. It was not the normal Northwoods decor, but was a nice change from the norm. Gas fireplace was a hit with my wife who is always cold. We were up on a hill with vacant cabins on either side of us. Our silver lab felt right at home. Right on the atv trails was great. We parked our truck and trailer, and used our Polaris General for transportation and fun!

Stay was good. Cabin had everything you could need. Basic essentials and that kind of stuff. I was called for check in and told where the key and stuff was. Hassle free. The only bad and it was very minor was that the shower/tub hadn’t been rinsed out/cleaned, there was probably a 100 or so little dead bugs in there but no big deal just turned the shower on and rinsed it out. Definitely will be back. Beds were comfy and it very quiet and peaceful. Exactly what was needed after a chaotic couple of weeks.

The cabin was beautiful, minus a few caveats. There was probably 10 dead flies and the window sill high up was full of dead lady bugs. The thing that really ruined it for us though was the soaking tub water temperature never even got *lukewarm*, it was cold! And oddly enough, the shower (that was maybe a foot away) water temperature got so, so so hot! It was cold and rainy the whole weekend and soaking in that tub would've been ideal, we were very disappointed in that.

Room was clean and decorated nice. The beds were springy and not the most comfortable. Never saw anyone on premise except one young girl cleaning a different room. She was nice and helped get us ice for our cooler. Nothing spectacular but it was clean and a nice place to sleep after riding the trails all day. I would stay again

Only thing I would recommend is an iron & ironing board.

Loved our stay! We were there for an anniversary party as well as trail riding our UTV. Everything about the cabin was perfect! Right on the trail and still close to town. Full kitchen and cooking tools. Just stop at the grocery and get some food to cook. The only downside was WiFi is not good at all. But, we were up north so who cares!

This is a very nice property but the management is not. I did NOT receive information via email on how to check in or what my room # was. When I stopped, the courteous maid called the manager who kept telling me I couldn't check in yet when numerous times I told him that I hadn't received an email and was simply trying to find out how to access my room and which room it was. The next day when I was out walking my dog, instead of saying good morning, I heard, "You do know we have a $25 pet charge", to which I replied yes, and I had left him a voice mail re the same... Finally, I had mentioned to him that their website, and expedia both advertise that the lounge and restaurant are open, with excellent food and service. He said, he'd talk to his IT person... really In fact, they have been closed since January 2023... Not a pleasant discovery as that was one of the things that sold me on the place despite it being a bit more expensive than alternative lodging. When I stopped at the Mercer Chamber, the woman told me she was aware of the problem as well, and did not think it was appropriate to be telling people that the lounge and restaurant were still open.

We booked a last minute weekend in Mercer. I received a call right away the next morning letting me know our cabin was available to us for early check in. The cabin was the perfect size for our family of 4 and our dog. We loved how quiet and private it felt. We had plenty of space inside and out. The cabin was clean and had everything you would need for preparing meals just relaxing by the fireplace. The outside patio was nice along with all the green space to walk our dog. We can’t wait to go back and spend more time here.

I received a call early in the day of my arrival from Cranberry Inn, telling me that I would be in "Cabin 5," that the door would be open and the key would be on the "kitchen table." I arrived at 8 PM. There was no "cabin." There was a motel-type unit. There was no "kitchen table." Fine. Unit 5 was open. No one else was around. The office was closed. It seemed quiet and secluded, even though it was just off the highway. At 1 AM, someone woke me by violently pulling and pushing on the door, trying to get in!! I yelled, asking what was going on. Someone told me through the door that he had been given unit 5. I assured him that I had written down "Cabin 5" when I had been called to confirm my stay. He insisted he had been told the same thing. After much back and forth, he said that he would just see if there was an unlocked unit and stay there. I certainly could not sleep again for the rest of the night. Terrible management.
