About this property

Enjoy a getaway at Wheeler Lake Family Retreat

Beautiful spacious ranch home with walkout basement on crystal clear Wheeler Lake. Property offers 2 large decks with spectacular views and 3 piers for swimming, fishing or docking your boat. 5 bedrooms and 2 baths with plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing. In addition to the 5 BR, there is a double air mattress available for use if needed. Fully stocked kitchen with many small appliances. Internet service is included, as well as 'YouTube TV' and 'Disney +'.

Large fire pit area overlooking the lake. 3 kayaks, stand-up paddle board, pedal boat and various water toys (skis, kneeboards, wakeboards, tube, etc) are included.
Wheeler Lake is a 290 acre, 35' deep lake that is Full Rec during the hours of 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., with no-wake before and after that. No-wake time is great for kayaking, swimming and fishing. Good fishing for bass, panfish and northern with the occasional walleye or crappie.

Lakewood is a quaint Northwoods town with convenient retail options for grocery, hardware, bait shop, rental for water sports and a 3-story candy store. The area has great supper clubs, sports bars, breakfast places and pizza places. There is also an 18 hole golf course 3 minutes from the property.

Can access ATV and snowmobile trails from the property! We know that mother nature is fickle so make your snowmobile reservation with confidence - if the trails are forecast to be closed you may cancel your reservation up to 48 hours prior. Sufficient parking space for several trailers.
Re-opened in winter of 2020 is Paul Bunyan Ski Hill- great for a quick few hours of hitting the slopes or for kids learning to ski.

Summer rental period is for full weeks only from Saturday to Saturday.
3 night minimum for other seasons.
Check in at 4:00 p.m. and check out at 10:00 a.m.

This was our second time staying here. The house fit our family nicely and had everything we needed and more. We spent the majority of our time on the lake or by the fire pit. It was the perfect getaway for our family.

Great place for our families to get together! The lake is beautiful and so clear! We enjoyed seeing the loons and bald eagles! The floating dock and huge splash pad was amazing for our grandchildren!! Kayaks and all of the lake accessories were fun! The house is spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating! The grandkids loved playing with all of the toys and games! There is a nice grassy area away from the lake that grandkids could run around on which was a plus as well. We have already talked about visiting again. Thanks for the fun memories!!

This place is just right for our group. It has everything you need for a winter stay in the northwoods. We had a flock of swans swim by the dock which was cool and the kids loved playing on the zipline!
