About this property

Unwind from daily life in what may be the most unique cabin in this neck of the woods, located on a 1.3-acre private peninsula with about 500 feet of shoreline and a private sand beach.

Start your day with coffee on the beach or pier, watching the eagles, otters, hummingbirds, and resident loons. Watch the sun rise or sleep in... your choice! No schedule! Explore the woods and commune with nature to your heart's content. Spend your day in the screen house with a good book, on the beach catching some sun, or in the hammock, snoozing and dreaming. After a day of swimming and fishing, s'mores around the fire pit on the beach are in order while you watch the moon rise over the lake. And when it's time to turn in, enjoy the comforts of home, away from home.

DP is a humble, unpretentious, family-friendly cabin that comfortably sleeps 7 adults (2 california king beds, full-over-full bunk, and living room futon), sleeps 8 if you really like each other and share the bunks. A pack 'n play is available for your baby and a bed rail for your littles.

Your pups are family, too, so they're welcome as long as they're well behaved. We ask that they be current on vaccinations, heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. (Please note that a pet fee does apply.)

Everything you'll need for a comfy stay is provided (we hope), including games, puzzles, toys, DVDs, and reading material for rainy day entertainment. No WiFi or cable (it is, after all, Decompression Point), but there's a whole-house generator so you'll never miss out on your morning coffee, no matter the weather.

The cabin is situated on a private 1+ acre peninsula on beautiful, peaceful Pickerel Lake. The lake is 72 acres in size, 14 feet deep, and has panfish, largemouth bass and northern pike. There is a public boat landing for your personal watercraft. *** This is a no-wake lake ***

Rhinelander, Merrill and Tomahawk are easy jaunts away for shopping and entertainment. Visit the Hodag! The cabin has direct access to the Harrison Hills ATV trails.

Wonderful weekend!

We had an amazing weekend stay at Decompression Point! We all loved swimming, attempting to fish, and paddling around the lake in the provided boats. The beds are comfortable, and we watched a movie from their vast collection each night. We didn't have cell reception, but it was nice to unplug for a few nights. And the neighbors seem very friendly that if we needed help in an emergency, we were sure there would be someone nearby to help out. We had one hot day (90+ degrees), and the a/c worked great. Other than that, the cabin was cool and we didn't need the a/c for the majority of our stay. Thank you for sharing your really fun home with us! We hope to return next summer!

Perfect, cozy, loved.

From the moment we drove up, the kids were excited by the “Hodag Crossing” sign, then hopped out of the car to explore while my husband and I unpacked and their excitement grew with the “fairy tree” and swing set and the house with no corners! We enjoyed a quite first night watching a movie (with a beautiful view) and read a book about a very industrious squirrel before bed. The peddle boat was perfect for Exploring the lake with the kids. Clear water and sandy beach for swimming, fire pit on the shore, inside toys, outside toys, books, EVERYTHING you could possibly need, including wonderful, kind hosts. The best way I could describe it is that there are so many cabin rentals out there that are a flip and a quick buck for the owner, with amenities that check the boxes, Amazon decor, and no soul left to speak of. This is NOTHING LIKE THAT. The love and memories of this cabin run deep and you can feel it while you’re there. The toys, books, movies, decor, they’re all there because they brought joy to the family, not because they check the right number of boxes for amenities on a rental site. I am so grateful that the Shea family made the choice to share their beautiful cabin with us so we could make our own memories. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Kathy Shea

We're not very exciting people to write about... just folks who love the peace and quiet of the northwoods ourselves and want to share the opportunity with others.

Why they chose this property

We love this cabin for its quirkiness and hominess. It's a place where you can kick back, put your feet up, take a deep breath, and make memories.

What makes this property unique

Bet you've never stayed in a round cabin! Private wooded 1+ acre penninsula surrounded by water on 3 sides. Get back to nature with the comforts of home in the northwoods.
