Immaculate Wooded Retreat on the ¼ Mile Pristine Menominee River

Look no further for your escape from the pressures of everyday life than this wooded retreat. Our home away from home will take you from the hustle & bustle of daily life into the tranquility of the Northern Woods. Located approx. 70 miles north of Green Bay in Wausaukee, Wisconsin. Nestled among 24+ acres of woods, with ¼ mile of private frontage each on the pristine Menominee River & Squaw Creek, you will immediately trade your phone and laptop for hiking shoes, a swimsuit and shorts!

This open concept 3,000 square-foot custom-built log home was designed with our family in mind, leaving no detail overlooked. You will find five bedrooms, a loft, and three full baths. The master suite includes its own bathroom with a stunning field stone-lined shower and a private screened-in 3-season room. A large deck off of the great room will allow you & your guests to enjoy the serenity of the outdoors. The well-appointed modern kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances with a large dinette allows your friends & family to gather for home-cooked meals. The dining area has a back deck with a charcoal grill and picnic table.

Additionally, our home includes a walk-out basement with game room where your family can enjoy board games and air hockey, or kick back on the leather sectional for a movie on the big screen. This cozy space is the definition of comfort and provides additional room to spread out and relax. Also has a woodburning fireplace. Central air and laundry room available.

Christmas in July

Our family is spread out over the upper midwest and get together in the summer to celebrate Christmas. We have stayed in a few nice homes in the past, but this home was by far the best! It is in a beautiful, peaceful, and quiet setting, we had plenty of room and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The fire pit, walking trails to the river and the decks were all perfect. Our grandson loved walking the trails and playing with some of the toys. Any questions we had were answered quickly by the owner. We would recommend this home to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing stay in a beautiful and comfortable home.

Awesome get-away

Spent several days with our crew, was VERY spacious, had plenty of room for everyone to have "space" and also plenty of room for us all to be together!! Water pressure was lacking but that's sometimes just the way it is. The cabin was clean and everything (except dryer) worked as it should. We had an awesome time! The manager Brian was super friendly and helpful! Very attentive and quickly responded when we reached out for communication. He even had scavenger hunts for us with prizes!! Above and beyond!!! Our only "complaint" really was the mosquitos and of course that's beyond human control!!! Will definitely be on our list for a return family trip!!! Highly recommend!

This was a mixed bag. The house was very nice in a beautiful wooded setting. The area was wonderful with great vacation activities on rivers and waterfalls.However, various things important to us were not as represented on the property website or in communications with us. There was really no place to put in a boat on the river as there was no pier and really no place to tie up a boat. The river was not reasonably accessible for swimming as we had to climb down a fairly short but steep hill to reach a mucky entrance to the water. Similarly, Squaw Creek could not be used as it was shallow, rocky, and only accessible by climbing through brush. We were told there was air hockey and/or ping pong, which was important to us, but neither was present.So, combining the pluses and minuses, we come out to an OK rating,

Perfect wooded getaway!

Beautiful cabin with plenty of space. The fire pit was a hit in the evenings and the river was right off the lot. The water was very low but it was beautiful to sit or walk the path and still enjoy it.

This was an amazingly comfortable, spacious, and welcoming accommodation. We couldn't have hoped for more. All our needs and expectations were met and generally exceeded. Not only were towels, blankets, and all needed cooking equipment available and plentiful, but even games and entertainment were available. We even found a new family favorite board game! Don't miss the treasure hunt, which transfixed our children. It's well worth a mosquito bite or two.Access to the river is to your left and be sure that you have check-in information before you arrive at the front door, because Internet and even phone connectivity is not very reliable until you connect to the property's Wi-Fi. (We actually had to drive back into town for a signal to get the information we had failed to confirm before arriving.)We absolutely will be back in the future. This property made a trip which some of our party were less than enthusiastic about into a memorable family vacation balancing the rugged beauty of the northern woods with the comfort of a sug bed and the occasional necessary escape from the heat and humidity of midday.Enjoyed the fire pit outback especially, but every bit is magical.Awesome!

Yearly family trip

My family and I take a trip every year. We change locations every time but this one is going on the list to visit again. Such a beautiful cabin in an amazing location. The gentleman that takes care of the cabin was so extremely helpful and kind during our trip. He even droves us up river. The owner of the property was very fast at responding and helpful the whole time!

Great winter weekend

Really enjoyed this place. Beautiful cabin, well-appointed. Stayed with 7 people, including 2 couples. Sleeping arrangements were very comfortable--more so than many large cabins you'll find for rent. The main room with vaulted ceilings is a great hang-out spot. Property is pretty and secluded. Coordination with rental agent was painless. Wausaukee area is nice--not as hectic as Eagle River area, and was a manageable 4.5 hr-ish drive for us from Chicago.

Lovely house

The grounds and house were excellent. Warm, sunny, and well-stocked. Unfortunately, much of the walkable area, including the river-adjacent firepit, was flooded. That wouldn't normally be the case (the waters were starting to recede by the end) , but it did cut us off from the waterfront.

Very nice cottage, NO wifi

Very nice! I wish there were less bugs and we could have enjoyed the outdoors more. The house was beautiful. There are was no wifi which was inconvenient since there is no cellular connection in the area. I would suggest taking extra items with you. The bedrooms are fairly nice, there is a very cute room for toddlers not to be mistaken for anyone beyond 5. Very small bunk bed. It was clean. The recycling and trash were confusing.The closest gas station is about 10 miles away. The river is not suited for fishing. Overall, a very nice house.

Family getaway

Our group of 14 came from all over Wisconsin and we absolutely loved this cabin! It’s incredibly kid friendly having a baby gate, games and toys. Communication with Joseph was very easy but NOT via the Vrbo app which is on not his fault at all. When I raised concerns about communication he called me and we had a quick chat but they were incredibly kind and had good tips. It is August in WI so while mosquitoes are unavoidable, we did notice less than normal. We brought our own mosquitoe repellent and repellent aids and it helped so much. The photos don’t do this place justice. It was very roomy for all of us. The only things I would suggest are to have the floor cleaned more regularly. When we spilled water and wiped it up there was a ton of dirt that came up as well. We had babies crawling all over so we were just more mindful of that. Also that the toilets flushed slower but that wasn’t too too big of a deal. Something I would offer advice on is to have a “when you leave” instructions. We have stayed at rentals before so we just made sure to leave the house how we found it but also stripped the beds. It wasn’t mentioned anywhere if we needed too but we did it anyways. Wifi: our group made it a point to not be on our phones as much but no one noticed a lag in wifi or bad service. Kitchen: bare min, will need to bring your own things. This place truly helped create core memories for us! We loved it so much and have already stated we want to make this a yearly trip.

Private Cabin

Overall, the house was nice. It has that genuine cabin feel and is nice and private. The outdoor decks and screened in porch were great places to hang out. There seemed to be some mosquito management close to the house, which made being outside at night possible. There were plenty of pillows, blankets, and household gadgets available. One of the bunk beds listed is not a traditional bunk bed. It is crib sized and not usable by anyone over 3 feet tall. This derailed some of our sleeping arrangements as all 10 guests were adult couples. Also, one of the showers (basement) is not usable because it only has boiling hot water. No matter which way you turn the knob, only boiling hot water comes out. The smart tv that is listed does not work because there is no internet. However, there are movies available to play. The air hockey table is broken in many places but gives just enough air to play a slow game. The basketballs for the basketball game are all deflated. The location of the house is really nice because it is private. It didn’t take us long to figure out how to navigate the backroads. There is also plenty of parking. We had 6 vehicles and a boat and there was enough space.

Wooded and beautiful!

This property was perfect for our family weekend away! It was beautiful and spacious enough for our family to sprawl out and not be on top of one another. There were plenty of activities for the kids as well and we all really enjoyed hiking around! The only downfall was that the power went out for several hours and we could not find any working flashlights, we had to run into town to the family dollar to buy some flashlights because it gets REALLY dark in there when the suns not shining. Also all of the nightlight bulbs were burned out so it was hard to get the kids to sleep. Otherwise this property came fully stocked and was great! We had a wonderful weekend!

Very nice property, very quite and really a place to unwind. There is no tv, internet or cell service so if you are a electronic junky you are in for a shock. Otherwise if you want to get away from it all. This is for you.

About the host

We searched for the perfect 2nd home for 2 years. Our first thought was to be on a lake until we found the 29 acres with 1/4 mile of frontage. We are able to go boating, fishing and 4 wheeling without being crowed on the lake. We all love to go tubing, you start at the Chalk Hill Dam and float for an 1 1/2 and end up right at our place, it's our own little lazy river. We also love to take nature hikes through the woods or just long walks through the trails. This has been a great place for us to create new memories with our family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We found this property and fell in love with all the seasonal changes. We thought it was going to be a place we would visit mostly in the summer but found that there was something special each season we didn't want to miss. We found ourselves entertaining there more than we did at home. It is such a great escape.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy relaxing by the second fire pit down by the river watching the Bald Eagles flying by. When they fly low to the water, you can see their reflection while swooping down for a fish.
