About this property
The Northwoods At Its Finest!
New this year. A longstanding guest who has stayed with us for several summers had to cancel unexpectedly. They always book early and pick one of the best weeks each year. Their loss is definitely your gain. Take advantage of a great week that is rarely available! ** Special Note ** I have discounted the week of August 23rd to August 30th! Book it before its taken!! Also this area really is wonderful For all the biking enthusiasts!!! New in 2025 County Rd W will be redone and the shoulders will be widened five feet on each side between where Manitowish Waters meets up with Winchester all the way to Presque Isle, WI. Don’t miss your opportunity to see Mother Nature in all of her glory while enjoying all that the surrounding area has to offer!! This area has so much to do every day of the year! Thinking about warmer summer days? Get some days off come enjoy the Turtle lake chain next year while some days are still available. If the availability doesn’t work with your schedule consider booking for 2026. Pick the days that work best for you but you will need to book early. Bookings for next summer coming in already so make your plans for next year before all the best dates are booked up! This place stands out from the rest and is absolutely everything you could ever want in an up north cabin. And it’s been newly landscaped as of 2021, CHAIN OF LAKES HOME!! Walk right in and start enjoying the lake life. This property has so much to offer! Let's start with the 186' of sand frontage that leads you onto the 900+ acre Turtle Lake Chain. Clear & sandy lake, no muck or weeds, perfect for swimming! New Dock with steps that lead right into the water. **New in Summer of 2023 a second long face dock to fish from or tie up your boat to**. Perfect fire pit area overlooks the lake and private, wooded lot. *** New in 2023 new patio furniture that swivels and glides. So very comfortable ***. Awesome wrap around deck is great for looking at the water or keeping an eye on the kids. Inside you will find a fresh remodel of the home including a gas fireplace. Home also offers A/C for those hot summer days. Great layout gives you the option to put the kids in the fully finished lower level with walkout patio door. Win Man mountain biking trails, cross country skiing trails snowmobile & Iron County ATV trails and more restaurants and bars than you could possibly try in one trip just down the street! A large circle drive was added to allow guests with large trailers the ability to pull straight into the driveway and NEVER have to back out. And for all owners of an electric vehicle there is a 50 amp Nema 14-50 receptacle outside of the garage for your free charging needs. I am constantly improving this already great home. Also new last summer i added a generator that will power up the entire property during those pesky power outages! Come enjoy! Starting in January 2024 Vilas County is restricting the maximum number of guests to six. Vilas County is also requiring a minimum of seven consecutive days for each booking. I have adjusted my calendar pricing on specific weeks during fall, winter and spring months to help those that only want to book for four days but have to pay for seven reduced price days to be compliant with Vilas County. Call me directly for any assistance with your booking @ 262-315-5745

What makes this property unique
Everything you could possibly want to make your stay comfortable! Amazing fishing & the best restaurants in Vilas County! This home is right in the middle of it all!! But if you prefer to stay at home you will be amazed at how peaceful just sitting on the deck can be. Listen for the Loons they sound like they are sitting right next to you.
