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.

Lake views where beautiful.. had everything from kitchen to the lake anyone could ask for! Had couple questions for the host after we arrived and got back to us very quickly with the answer we were looking for! Very pleasant place to stay on dead end rd. Very peaceful place to stay! And very close to town for food/drinks or if even forgot something for the trip! I would recommend staying here to friends or family!

We received a very thorough and informative message from the host ahead of time so knew exactly what to look for upon arrival. The house was stocked well with towels, blankets, toiletries, etc. (including some kitchen essentials left by previous guests like maple syrup, tea, some coffee…), and it was perfectly cozy. As mentioned by host, the house water is a little hard but we didn’t mind (I grew up with worse). My partner and I came up to ice fish all weekend and the distance to the lake is a bit more than we gathered from photos so be aware of that. It was do-able but we were more than happy to collapse in bed at the end of the days hauling things up and down. Thankfully, we left our shanty up all weekend and it remained untouched. A short drive “to town” for groceries and bait found at the Shell was perfect. Overall, the experience was very nice, quiet, cozy, and exactly what we needed! Would love to experience it in the summer as well.

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.

Pet friendly! We needed a place for family to stay for a funeral in the Rhinelander area. The cabin has the basics but the separate “bunkhouse “ was great for older kids who want space or whoever wants peace and quiet. Or just a separate area. There is a backyard area with fire pit. Spacious for dogs, family and a fire. There are stairs down to the pier and lake. There is also a nice leveled platform area by the lake you can put chairs to sit while enjoying views of the water. We didn’t take advantage because we had a funeral to attend, but there’s also a huge floating pad and paddle boards in the garage to use if you want. There is also a large charcoal grill and outdoor table on the deck- and I don’t think we saw ONE mosquito! Coming from Pewaukee- which flooded about a month ago- it was a WONDERFUL difference!Kitchen was also stocked with plates, bowls, pots & pans & a new coffee maker. Our dogs LOVED the lake access and it was a great spot for our plans in Rhinelander and for 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.
