About this property
Secluded Northwoods Lake Home - Direct Access to ATV/UTV/Snowmobile Trails
The Ironwood is a four bedroom, one and a half bath lake house situated on 3.5 acres. Located on Grand Portage lake in Mercer, WI in heavily wooded tall pines, within walking distance of several local establishments. The master bedroom contains a king size bed with twin toddler bed. The second bedroom has a queen size bed, while the third bedroom has a double bed. The fourth bedroom on the lower level, known as JW's bunk room includes two twin over full bunk beds. All bedrooms are outfitted with a bench, set of hooks and plenty of closet space. There is a Queen size sofa sleeper located on the lower level of the home as well. Enjoy the lake view from the spacious living room with large attached screened porch.
There are bike trails for everyone in the family from the Heart of Vilas paved bike trail system to the WinMan Trails featuring single-track flow trails for mountain and fat tire bikers. Mercer has 7.8 miles of dedicated bike trail with connections to the 52 mile Heart of Vilas trail system.
Grand Portage Lake is 148 acres in size with a max depth of 33 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from a public boat landing. Fish include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. The lake's water is moderately clear. Our 301 ft. of frontage has a gradual approach and sand bottom. There is a private dock for use as well. The lake is known for fishing, jet skiing, kayaking, canoeing, tubing, and water skiing.
ATV/UTV trail is located at the driveway of the property for direct access to the 100 miles that the Mercer area has to offer with connections to an additional 250 miles of the Iron County trail system. (mercerdustyloons.com)
Conveniently located on snowmobile trail #8 of the Iron County trail system with direct access. Over 250 miles of groomed snowmobile trails in southern Iron County offer a variety of riding experiences. From former railroad grade, to heavily forested land, to the wide open spaces of marked trails across the Turtle Flambeau Flowage, riders understand why Iron County is the Snow Capital of Wisconsin. Mercer's trails are part of the 500+ miles of the Iron County Trail System. Riders may head north, all the way up into Michigan's Upper Peninsula as well as south, east and west to adjoining counties. The walkout basement entrance provides great access to the snowmobile gear area where you will find an ample amount of hooks to hang helmets, bibs, and coats. (mercersnogoers.com)
Cross-Country Skiing and Snowshoeing MECCA Trails offer 21 km of groomed cross-country skiing on rolling terrain and 3 miles of snowshoe or winter hiking trails.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Josh Pfohl

My family has been traveling to the Mercer Wisconsin area for 8 years. While snowmobiling is what originally drew us to the area, we look forward to enjoying the many other opportunities that Iron county has to offer, such as the ATV/UTV trails, newly extended Bike path that connects to the Manitowish Waters system, and life on the lake in the summer.
Why they chose this property
We have four children, size and location of the home were key to making sure this was something we could enjoy for years to come. We have privacy, yet we are conveniently located to all the amenities that Mercer has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Lakefront, trailside, secluded yet within walking distance to restaurants, bars, and grocery stores.
