About this property

Quiet cottage with stunning peaceful lake views near Elcho and Pelican Lake WI

Property overview:
Million-dollar south facing waterfront views from the deck, campfire and dock. A great tucked away location on dead end road set up for family vacations. The property is designed to help you unplug, engage family and take some time to relax in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Fresh air, great views and countless recreational opportunities for a low stress family get-away.
Enterprise Lake is a peaceful lake great for both relaxing and enjoying. Actively enjoy the fishing from the large dock or 2 available kayaks. Relax with a large cup of coffee and enjoy the lake from the deck, the couch surrounding the fire pit, or lakeside sitting on the dock.
A popular kayaking activity from the cottage is to explore the island that is 500 yards from the dock. It’s a short kayak trip for any level of experience. The lake is generally pretty quiet, so there is little threat of other boaters, jet skis or water skiers.
Many options for Family Eating
At the cottage there are multiple ways to feed the family. Full kitchen with stove and toaster oven to bake, broil, roast and toast. There is also a weber grill available for cooking outside. For the adventurous, there is a grate for over the camp-fire cooking. Seating available both indoors and outdoors allowing for plenty of space to enjoy a family meal.

Swimming is great either right off of the dock or out a ways depending on age of the swimmers. There will be a lily pad available for the kids to use either off of the dock or out in open water. The bottom is mostly sand with a few rocks here and there. Water shoes are helpful, but not necessary.

Sleep 2 in master bedroom with queen bed.
Sleep 2 in living room with queen pull out sofa.

Relaxing lake vacation.

Responsive host. Quiet location. Beautiful lake views. All the amenities you might need for a relaxing lake vacation. Our only complaint was the mosquitos. Definetly bring your bug spray and a thermacel if you have one.

Lovely!

We had a fantastic few days. The weather was a bit cool for lake days but luckily the sun was out which made it warm enough to swimming after lunch each day. We loved the kayaks, paddle boards, and Lilly pad. My kids enjoyed fishing off the pier and caught quite a few fish. It was very quiet and peaceful and didn't even see other people until the last night we were there. We are talking about a return trip next summer, it was just what we wanted.

All Around Great Vacation

Everything about this vacation was better than expected. Very secluded location on a very quiet lake. Kids loved fishing, swimming, smores, kayaking, watching the bald eagles flying, and late night games in the bunk house. We will certainly be vacationing here again. I highly recommend for anyone that is looking for some relaxation.

Perfect getaway views

Despite some uncooperative weather, the views of the lake contributed to a relaxing respite in this cozy cottage. When the weather turned, we enjoyed a kayak paddle on the lake(kayaks courtesy of the owner)and a bit of fishing right off the dock! WiFi was reliable despite the remote location and a storm passing through one evening. Got our first little peek of fall color, too.

We had a 4 night stay and this place was amazing! Such a nice peaceful location with a stunning view. The home was really clean and super inviting. Adam provided excellent communicate prior to our stay with great recommendations. We brought our dogs along and our German Shephard prefered just laying on the porch and oberserving the site and sounds. The bed in the main house was very comfortable, we slept really well. We will definetly be planning another family trip back.

Scenic cottage retreat

We had a blast by the lake at Adam's cabin. Great view across the lake from the deck or yard. Good swimming spot off the dock. Enjoyed access to kayaks, row boat and SUP board and our whole group paddled across the lake to the island. Adam was responsive and helpful.

Cottage

Super cute cottage on a fun and relaxing lake. Cottage is well stocked, cozy and comfortable. We kayaked to the nearby island, went tubing and fishing and swam off the dock. Had a fire overlooking the lake and relaxed listening to the waves. Host is quick to answer any and all questions. We can’t wait to come back and do it all again!!

Great cabin feel and stay!

We spent 5 nights at this one bedroom/one bunkhouse cabin and it was perfect for what we needed. Great part of the lake for fishing, swimming, and water fun! Cabin property had plenty of fun water toys to use for the kids/adults. Campfires at night perfect and overlooking the lake. Only suggestion for future guests, truly bring own drinking water especially if you have never experienced well water- area has high iron concentration. Would definitely recommend

Picturesque

This was a perfect getaway for our family of five. We were looking for a pretty cabin in the woods, and this was exactly what we were looking for. The cabin is very comfortable, clean, and accommodating -- the furnishings lent to a relaxing stay, with no detail left undone. Our two older kids LOVED sleeping in the bunkhouse - what a treat for them! The views were beautiful, too. I definitely recommend this property.

Cutest little cabin on the lake!

We had a fabulous relaxing week at this cute little cabin on Enterprise Lake. We fished and caught a lot of perch, a few Walleye and a couple pumpkinseeds! Everything we needed, very comfortable. We did bring our own Roku stick so we could watch the football games! Glad we did, it appears there is no TV/Cable service, but the WiFi is great!

Great lake view

Great location! We really enjoyed sitting next to the fire pit and on the dock. We went swimming almost every day and made good use of the kayaks and paddle boards. The cottage was very clean. Adam was very helpful in answering our questions. A few recommendations would be to add a cookie sheet or large baking pan to the kitchen items and to make sure life jackets get aired out and dried. We really enjoyed our stay!

This property was very peaceful and had all the amenities we wanted.

My husband and I were looking for some peace and quiet and that is exactly what we got. Having the lakefront, dock, firepit and deck to have all of our meals on was wonderful. The property was comfortable and clean. The breeze took care of the temperature nicely but we did use the portable air conditioner for 2 nights, which was great to have. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place.

Much needed relaxation in great location

The family had a great 10 days of rest and relaxation in the Northwoods – couldn’t have asked for better June weather to enjoy the views. The cabin has a perfect view of the lake being on the high ground while still having quick access to the lake. The wildlife in the lake and surrounding area was like no other Northern WI trip the family has been on - eagles, loons, ducks, deer all over, and beavers all while being on the lake. Additionally, we got to see a bear while driving around while looking for the abundance of deer in the area. The additional perks that come with the cabin were also a hit - the paddle boards and lily pad were just another great way to enjoy the lake life. Adam was always very quick to respond with any questions that were asked – thank you for sharing this cabin with our family

You cannot shower here

The property is rustic. Pots and pans were dirty and over used. They definitely needed replacement. We had to buy a brand new pan in town. Wi-Fi was in and out all the time so don't feel that you will be able to have a decent phone call. But the main problem was the water pressure. Impossible to take a shower unless you are comfortable with it literally dripping on you. I have pictures of the water dripping from the shower head, kitchen sink faucet and bathroom sink faucet with the faucets wide open! The water here also smells like sulfur, really bad. Bring your own water. The host claims to have a purifier and softener installed but we saw no evidence of that at all. As a home owner, I have had several water purification systems in my lifetime so I know where to find them and what they look like. If you stay here, be prepared to live rough!

Peaceful Setting on a lake

This is a very comfortable place to spend some restful time. We had everything we needed. The weather wasn’t great but we enjoyed reading by the window looking at the lake. Make sure you have directions from the owner before looking for the cottage because you won’t be able to map it. House could use some written information about about how to operate the fireplace ( we were unable to use it). and could not use the TV since we had no way to stream the shows. Other than that everything was great!

Up North Peace of Mind

The property is in a beautiful setting on Enterprise Lake. It fit our needs perfectly. My husband's family live on Pelican Lake and it was very easy to visit them because of the location. The extras (paddle board, life jackets, etc) were very nice. However, we did not have time to use them. Very close to a beautiful golf course. The ice cream shop in Pelican lake was amazing! You can't beat Up North sunsets on the lake! The only negative is there is no microwave. A small microwave would have been very useful. Yes, we will return for sure if Adam will have us.

About the host

Hosted by Adam Rortvedt

Host profile image
We are a family of five. We live a very busy life and wanted to spend more time with our kids while we have them. We wanted something that the family could rally around and enjoy together. We wanted cozy and complete with water and woods. We like to find any excuse to unplug and unwind. We have noticed the moods change for the better the closer we get to the cottage. It's a wonderful family experience that we want to share with others.

Why they chose this property

The big views from under mature oak trees are priceless. The breeze, the wind, the dock, the shore, the fishing, the views, the trails, the up north feel in every sense. The little hill provides great views but it is still easy to access the lake. Not a billy goat shore. We like the grass, the dead end road and the access to many hiking trails.

What makes this property unique

The bunk house is great for the kids. They feel like they are at camp. They can get away from their parents and tell stories and jokes and play games. They get their own space that they can destroy and nobody critiques them. The pier is great, with the ladder it makes it easier for swimmers of all ages. The water is dark but it is clean and refreshing. No algae.
