We have WiFi and Direct TV in the lake home...so you can take care of your business and your social life too!

There is no place better than to come to NW WI and enjoy the peace and serenity of Wisconsin's Northwoods in this updated, comfortable home. Each room has a beautiful view of Poskin Lake. The home has a nice level lot and a large private dock.

You can rent the pontoon boat/kayaks/paddle boat for one small fee if you would like to enjoy the entire lake. (this fee is separate...you decide what you'd like for your days at-the-lake!)

About the host

Hosted by Susan Carr

Host profile image
We have been sharing the lake home we were blessed with, as we do not have the time to enjoy it right now! We have had many of the same families come back year after year for the past decade! We enjoy telling about you about the local attractions, and having you relax and have the best vacation possible! Come stay and play....at our Northwoods Retreat!

Why they chose this property

The lake home you can vacation at has a nice level lot, with a view of the lake from every window! The sunsets are incredible, and it is a very quiet and peaceful lake...come and enjoy this beautiful property!

What makes this property unique

There is a 'no-wake law' in effect from 6 PM until 10 AM, making this the perfect lake for people who like a lot of action during the day, yet who like to fish and enjoy the quiet too!
