About the host
Hosted by John Spiewak
My wife Lorie and I have three wonderful children. We both have been working in the hospitality industry for the last twenty-five years. We decided to purchase the cabin, fully remodel it, and share it with others. Even when we come up for two days, we feel completely "reset." Our goal is for you to have the same wonderful experience.
We have been coming uo to Manitowish Waters for over 25 years, and always wanted a place to call, "home." We purchased our log cabin in 2022, and immediately went to work. As you will see, we essentially "touched" the interior of the entire cabin. We wanted a home which would provide a rustic feel (the cabin), but we wanted today's amenities. We combined both in an open concept layout on all three levels.
We truly enjoy coming up to our home in the Northwoods. We enjoy shopping for our cabin, and when we are out, we always ask "what would our guests want?" We do believe that we will capture your appreciation, once you arrive. We believe in reinvesting in our cabin, so you will always see something new. If there is something you would really like to see in our home, please email me (manitowishlakehouse@gmail.com) or feel free to contact me through the travel site. We made a promise to ourselves to treat our home as a firsthand reflection on who we are. We will always provide amenities for the best experience. If we do not have it and there is a need, we will get it.
Hosting is new to us, but true customer service is not. We know you will love our home, and we are excited to ensure that your stay is a top tier experience, because we want you to return.
Our cabin is family operated and we pride ourselves with our guest's satisfaction. Contact me anytime, and I will be sure to return your request in a manner of minutes, not hours or days!

Why they chose this property
The Manitowish Waters chain-o-lakes truly is, "The Original Up North Experience." Our cabin is on a private trail, it is peaceful, and we have incredible neighbors. Our homes are nestled within 60 foot pine trees, and you will feel secluded regardless of where you are at on our property. Come and see for yourself.
What makes this property unique
Our home is a true log cabin in the Northwoods, coupled with modern amenities for your comfort. We have a large wraparound deck with a safe fence all the way around both sides of the deck. On top of the wooden fence rails, sits a hand carved "drink rail." You will find it to be comfortable to lean on, set a plate on...or of course a homemade Wisconsin Old Fashioned (see one of the many drink recipes in our hardcover book on the shelf). Cheers!
