Popple Lake House Getaway

The property address: 14646 184th St., Jim Falls, WI.
It is located on Popple Lake which is a smaller lake with many natural beauties and is also located on a quiet dead end road.
The home is a brand new re-build (2020) and is within 1.5 hours East of Minneapolis.
The house is located in Jim Falls WI, which is only 30 min. from Eau Claire, 15 from Chippewa Falls and 15 from Bloomer.

Popple Lake is a 94 acre lake located in Chippewa County. It has a maximum depth of 25 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from a public boat landing. (No cost) Fish include Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye.

The property has beautiful views year round of the lake which can be seen throughout the home. The deck is located 20ft from the water, with a nice large dock with chairs, table, bench and stairs with a handle, into the water. It is a Great Lake for swimming and fishing.

The home is a 2 bedroom (queen bed in each room) and 1 bath, living room has 3 futons that can be used as sleeping space, with a Full kitchen. Large kitchen bar to gather at. We have many extras such as board games and TV with Hulu on it for the times you just want to stay in and relax.

VRBO outside amenities.
In the summer, there is an Aqua lily pad and 2 kayaks available (Life jackets provided) (use at own risk) These are included with your stay. The swim raft is NOT part of the VRBO. It is our neighbors, so please respect their property and not use.
There is a private dock out front of the house. Feel free to bring your own boat and park it at the dock during your stay.

In the winter you can ice fish, snowmobile, cross country ski or snow shoe around the lake. Must bring own equipment to do these activities. Nothing is provided at the house.

There is also an area to have a small outside fire. Wood is available at the rental. Please use wood respectfully, we do not charge an added fee for it. There are 6 bag chairs at the house in the closet to use for around the fire.

This property has a studio suite in the front of the house, closest to the road that is NOT part of the VRBO rental.
This is a private suite for the owners to use mostly in the off season when the VRBO is vacant. If it is occupied when the VRBO is being rented, the VRBO guest has full privacy of the yard and dock.
Each unit has a private entry and there is a laundry area between the units that is shared. Each unit has a locked door for privacy that leads to this laundry area.

The public boat landing is just a few minutes from the house.
You can ride your ATV from the driveway to reach trails, bars and restaurants. You can also catch your supper off the dock!

In the winter you can reach snowmobile trails from the lake and the lake is good for ice fishing.

If you needed any quick groceries or gas, their is a Cenex Convenience store in Jim Falls, just minutes away.
There is a wonderful country Bar/supper club within 5 minutes of the house called , “Old Abe’s Supper-club” Look it up to dine in or call for take out.
Also in Jim Falls there is a great bar called Jakes Jim Town Inn. He has great food and it is a nice home town bar.
A near by town to visit while you are in the area is Chippewa Falls. It has a small town feel but many things to do. One place the whole family would enjoy is, Irvine Park. It is a free park with a petting zoo and many hiking trails. They also have an outside Bear and Lion Den exhibit along with others misc. animals from monkeys to Buffalo.
You can take a walk downtown Chippewa and visit our great restaurants and along the way you will have to stop at a few hot spots like Olson’s Ice Cream and the candy store. Mason Shoe Store is a popular place to go along with some other boutique shops in town for the shoppers of the group.
Chippewa Falls is also the home of Jacob Leinenkugels Brewery. They offer tours and have a beautiful lodge to enjoy some of their samples.
There is also a Distillery/Brewery in town. Head toward the river to the “Chippewa River Distillery” They have an upper outside deck that has a beautiful view of the Chippewa River.
This is a beautiful area for a quiet get away any time of year.

The Popple Lake cabin was absolutely charming. The owners have provided more than is necessary for a wonderful time. The views of the lake, the sunsets and the quiet are the things dreams are made of.

clean and updated property well stocked with most anything you could need. We did a lot of Ice Age Trail hiking and it was nice relaxing on the dock at the end of day as the sun set. Hosts were easy to get a hold of and quick to respond.

Great get a way!
The property was very clean. Appreciated that it had handicapped access so that I could bring my wheelchair bound husband out for a couple of visits. My 2 grandchildren ages 11 and 13 had a great time on the lily pad. The dock was easy to get to and easy to fish off of. Lots of bites but most of the fish were too small to keep. Fishing was fun because there was a lot of action. Hope to come back next summer for a few days. Also was nice that it was close to Eau Claire and Altoona so that we could go back and forth.

Beautiful cabin on peaceful lake
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin on Popple Lake. The host provided great communication. The property is accurately represented in the description and photos. It is modern and comfortable. What we enjoyed most was the proximity to the lake, watching the beautiful sunsets from the deck, and having access to many thoughtful amenities. From extra tolietries, to the wide array of kitchen supplies, to the kayaks, Lilypad and lifejackets - this is a well-stocked space. Thank you for everything!

Perfect Family Getaway
Me and my family had the perfect getaway. We were far enough off the beaten path to relax but within reach of everything we needed at the same time. Our 9 year old and 14 year old absolutely loved staying on the lake -fishing, kayaking and just enjoying themselves. The house was a great place to stay!

June 2024 stay
The stay was relaxing. We enjoyed sitting on dock and catching small panfish and catfish. The property is very nice. Modern appliances, new dock,and pretty much everything you need. There is sleeping for 10 in this unit! At the time of our stay, there were 2 bedrooms with queen beds and three futons in the common area. The ac and heat are mini splits. We have the exact same system in our home. The instructions said not to touch the AC controls. I ignored this because the system was shut off when we got there, and because I have the same system and knew how to use it. If you are looking for a place for a family or group, this rental is perfect. It was much bigger than my wife and I needed. Popple Lake was supposed to have decent populations of Northern & Walleye. However, I didn't catch any. It was very warm and recent rains had the lake flowing out the outlet. Not the best conditions for fishing. The host can't be held responsible for me not catching fish, so I'd I say it was as good of a stay as I could have hoped for. I met a few of the neighbors. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. The only thing that wasn't great was the wifi. Despite the host having left a wifi password, I found the wifi network to be an open network (no password required). The network was slow. The TVs are smart TVs which only use streaming services. We had difficulties watching TV without buffering. If you are watching TV, you aren't enjoying this property.

A slice of heaven!
This is a beautiful home! It is furnished with everything you need (and more!) to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. We were the first guests of the season and loved every minute. We saw amazing sunsets from the dock, enjoyed morning coffee with breathtaking lake views, and caught plenty of pan fish off the dock and from our boat! We could just feel the stress floating away during our stay. We can't wait to return to this location again next year for our anniversary trip!

Beautiful location right on lake. Updated cabin
Perfect for our weekend stay! Right on the lake and cabin/ house newly updated. Had some time to relax and toss a line into the lake right off the dock. We were in town for our sons hockey games. Normally stay in Chippewa Falls, but loved this little get away off the beaten path but still super close to chippewa. Owners were very attentive and property had everything we needed and more!

My husband and I, two kids 4 and 6 and my parents enjoyed our stay at your place. It was perfect in many ways, quiet lake, your dock was great for fishing and the water was shallow enough for my littles to swim. The cabin was very clean and the open space is smart! We would definitely come again! Thank you!!

Great end to summer!
The house was beautiful. Very clean. We all loved the chairs as the end of the pier. The lily pad was a tremendous hit!! The lake was very clean water with very little weeds. The only thing that was a little deceiving from tge pictures was the actual yard and tge closeness of the neighbors. From the pictures the yard appeared much larger. We were able to still fit our cornhole game without problem. There also is a house and another pier very close. Luckily they were either not home most of the time or only came outside for a very small amount of time. Over all we have decided that we hope to return! We had so much fun!

Very nice place for a weeklong vacation
Very nice and clean place with a beautiful view of the lake. Lots of fun for the family on the water lily pad. The only drawback from our perspective, is that they had very long list of house rules. We never felt like we could really relax on our vacation, like we have at other VRBO rentals that we have rented in the past.
