About this property

Direct Trail Access!

We just completed the remodel on this beautiful 3 bedroom one bathroom cabin. Two bedrooms feature queen size log beds and one bedroom has two full size beds. Comfortable living room with a 50" tv. Turn on the gas fireplace to warm up after a day of snowmobiling. You will fall in love with the view from the deck, overlooking the Turtle River.

You can park your vehicles in the driveway and ride your snowmobiles 1/2 a mile to the trail.

The basement is under remodel and is not available for rent at this time.

Delightful and Comfortable

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay. The property was clean, comfortable, and offered all of the ammenities of home. The decor was lovely, very Northwoods, further enhancing the vacation experience. The views are scenic and serene. In addition, the homeowners are responsive and wonderful to work with. We highly recommend, and already look forward to our next family vacation. Enjoy!

Great Place on the River

The property was great for our group. The view off the deck was very nice and relaxing. We brought some side by sides up and went out riding. Easy access to trails. House was very clean and very nice. Our group fit very well in the home without being in each others way. Would definitely stay again if we’re going to ride in the area again.

Loved our stay- We will be back!

This property is absolutely beautiful! Recently renovated and has a wonderful cozy atmosphere! Kari was excellent to work with and quick to respond to my questions. Our purpose of our stay was snowmobiling. The driveway is tight for a truck with a 23' trailer. We had another truck with 29' trailer that we were able to park across the street in a clearing. Home was just right for 6 people and right off the snowmobile trail. We will definitely be back to stay!

UTV Trip

Overall the stay was good! Very nice cabin in the north words. We did notice that the dishes looked like they haven’t been cleaned throughly, they were greasy and we had to rewash before using. It also did not seem like things such as the counters and table/ chairs had been wiped down since the last stay. The bedrooms were very clean along with the bathroom. Thanks again!

Very nice place

Place was clean and the trail location was great. Only 2 comments as far as improvements they could make are a window covering over the window in the shower and there was a sewer smell when you walked in the house. The basement is being remodeled and the smell was coming from the bathroom area. Little water in the drains would fix it. All in all, great place with a beautiful view out the back and very quiet. This will be an even better property once the basement remodel is completed!

Family four wheeling trip

This was our fourth time staying at this house. Once in the winter and three times during the summer. We have always been happy to stay here. We were a little disappointed this last time, due to the fact there was an issue with not being able to access internet. Never had an issue with the internet the other three times. Even the time during the winter when there was a snow storm. They have provided DVD's, but nothing for children. So, if anyone is bringing children along, would highly recommend bringing along DVD's for children. Also, the tub is very slow at draining, and the water sits in the tub. I did leave a note for the cleaning people, hopefully they are able to take care of the tub issue.

Beautiful View!

This was a beautiful home that had a fantastic deck overlooking the river. We loved that there was a table and grill on the deck, kayaks, and chairs for the firepit. The cabinets, closets and drawers had every single item that we would have needed if we had forgotten something. We also loved that there was lots of extra towels, toilet paper and eveeything that we needed. We wished that we had rented for longer so that we could have enjoyed more of the property and amenities, but we spent our time on the trails. There was enough parking for both of our trucks and trailers, with room for a 3rd if we would have needed. Also it was just a couple minutes to drive into Mercer.
