Great house and property for our party of six. We were in the area for work. Worked all day, and fished all evening. Caught a bunch of fish, mostly walleye. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a quality place on a lake!

Amazing Property
I was looking for a place to stay that would be close to the atv trails. Before booking, I contacted the owner and they got back to me right away. If I could give this place a higher rating, I would. There were 8 of us and we all had space. We hit the trails during the day and enjoyed camp fires overlooking the lake at night. The “kids” fished and took advantage of the paddle boards. It rained the first night so we took advantage of the games available. I do not remember the last time we sat down and played games!! This house has everything you need. I am already thinking about a summer trip to utilize the lake more and a girls trip just to get away!!

Everything we could have hoped for!
Spent four nights here with a close group of friends. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone! Very clean, spacious, several bathrooms, and plenty of areas to hang out! The lake did not disappoint on fishing either! Will be coming back in the future, with my family next! Thank you Scharl Camp! The memories will last forever!

Beautiful Property
The property is located in the woods, just off the UTV/ATV trails which is why we were vacationing in Wisconsin. Even though the trails are close, it is secluded, and you aren't bothered by others. You may hear a train or two, but that didn't happen often. The owners let you have use of the pole barn so your trailers and vehicles are inside while you are out trail riding. This is a huge plus for us! On a morning walk you will see deer and other wildlife. Book this vacation home, you won't be disappointed.

The Seclude Lake Retreat was exactly that which we loved. So nice not to have another cabin on either side of you. Beautiful sandy beach area and lots of water toys for using. The house is spacious with everything you could possibly need. Our dogs loved the spacious yard for running. Hope to return next year

Summer Family Vacation
We had a wonderful family vacation consisting of 6 adults and 4 kids (all under the age of 3). The house was set-up with bedrooms at each end of the house which helped with naps and bedtime. We had plenty of room in this we’ll-kept house with the open space between the family room and kitchen, plus a nice screened in porch to the woods. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen had all the useful utensils needed. The house had a lot of games and puzzles for all ages, plus a pole bldg offering other games and a place for little kids to ride bikes. The house is in a secluded wooded area with a lot of privacy. Each day we enjoyed the Sandy beach area with the kids. Having nice chairs on the deck near the water was great. Also available to us were 2 kayaks, a paddle boat, sand toys, and more. One day we drove our boat across the lake to a playground and beach area to play. We enjoyed the fire pit area as well. The lake is beautiful and great for water sports but not the best fishing lake. We had a great time and would like to return again.

Large Family Cabin for All Seasons
This cabin was spacious for our large family gathering. We celebrated birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The kitchen had everything we needed for making big meals. This cabin would be a special place to stay in spring, a spectacular summer vacation spot, a fantastic fall getaway, and a wonderful winter weekend head quarters for enjoying all the activities Hatfield/ Black River Falls/ Jackson and Clark county have to offer. Our family would love to come again in any season.

Everything was Perfect
We stayed Thurs-Sun., and had a wonderful stay. We celebrated an 80th birthday while we were there. The gathering areas are large and fit our group perfectly. The property was absolutely perfect. It was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the owners were helpful with any questions I had. The property itself was beautiful. We enjoyed the lake and fire pit. The location was convenient. Close to UTV Trails, a Casino, restaurants, and anything that you would need. I would highly recommend, and hope to come back sometime soon!
