CHARMING LOG HOME -LAKE SHISHEBOGAMA - 3 bd 2.5 bath - sleeps 6

WELCOME TO BIG PINE!
Just minutes from Minocqua, this updated well maintained, and tastefully furnished log home features 3 bedrooms and 2½ baths with 160 feet of level, sandy beach frontage on Lake Shishebogama. Here you can enjoy the best the Northwoods has to offer. Where every comfort and amenity is taken care of, and the length of the day is not measured in hours but in memories.
THE ARRIVAL
Big Pine is a secluded getaway yet so close to everything that once you reach the heart of Minocqua, you're just a short distance to our doorstep. We have a large circle driveway with plenty of parking. The full log home has been updated and improved under new ownership reflecting a desire to provide our guests with a special vacation experience.

THE MAIN FAMILY LEVEL
The main level of the home is where the family will congregate. There’s a large kitchen with stainless steel appliances (including dishwasher) and a breakfast bar and all the amenities for cooking delicious lakeside dinners. The dining room leads to a screened-in porch where you can watch the sunrise, sip your morning coffee, read a book or enjoy a late afternoon cocktail overlooking the lake. The large living room has a river rock hearth with wood burning stove , a 50 inch flat screen TV (with Roku containing Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Utube Streaming TV), and plenty of windows to soak up the panorama of the lake and surrounding woods. A ½ bath and full laundry facilities complete the main floor. Most necessities are provided, including linens, blankets, pillows, towels, and initial paper products. There is a fully outfitted kitchen with dishware, pots, pans, and cooking utensils. There is an outdoor grilling patio with a charcoal Weber grill.

THE MASTER SUITE LEVEL
The upper level has three bedrooms and carpeting throughout. The master bedroom overlooks the lake and has a queen-size bed, dresser, large closets and separate dressing area. There is a smaller TV in the master with Roku with Netflix and Amazon Prime. The second bedroom also has a queen-size bed, walk in closet, dresser and views of the lake. The cozy third bedroom has built in Twin XL beds and plenty of closet space.
The owners remodeled the upstairs bathroom with custom cabinet, solid surface sink and tiled, glass walled shower in 2022.

THE LOWER WALK-OUT LEVEL
The lower level has a set of bunk beds and a sitting area. A full bathroom with a spacious 2022 remodeled tile shower and vanity is perfect for after-lake clean-ups. This level leads directly to a covered cement patio and steps to the lake.

INDOOR ENTERTAINMENT
Verizon cell reception is good. There is a 50 inch smart HDTV in the living room with Roku with Netflix and Amazon Prime. and a smaller TV in the master bedroom ( Netflix and Amazon Prime), Nintendo Wii, board games, etc. Our Internet is Starlink sufficient for multiple devices, TV streaming and checking emails. For more diversions, Minocqua is around 10 minutes away, with many restaurants, food stores and Northwoods attractions to choose from.

COMFORT SYSTEM
We have just installed a mini split cooling and heating system. There is a unit on each floor for heating and cooling.

OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT
Our private wooded property stretches 13 acres with the log house and lakefront comprising 2 acres. Lighted blues stone steps take you to a lake side deck, fire pit (for those s'mores) and spacious aluminum dock with two built in swivel chairs and table for food/drink. There is electricity in the dock area. We have 160 feet of level frontage on Lake Shishebogama perfect for all kinds of water activities with a sandy area next to our dock suitable for wading, swimming and young children.

Outstanding !!
Big Pine is as perfect a North Woods experience you can have. Beautiful log cabin perfectly furnished with every convenience. Clearly written instructions how everything works (never seen better.) Squeaky clean and orderly from stem to stern. Perfectly located for shopping and dining in the quaint towns in this part of lake country. And then there is owner/host Pam. She is the very best. Responsive, helpful, caring. A total delight. Thank you!,

Beautiful lake home
All the comforts of home in a beautiful log cabin setting. Large lake with sandbars and endless eagles! Pier and frontage ideal for fishing and swimming. Pam was always available if we had any questions. The screen porch was our favorite spot each day!

Best Northwoods vacation we’ve ever experienced.
The owners provided too notch customer service and the cabin was perfect. The lake location was also ideal for swimming and fishing. We fished all around the island right across from the cabin and caught crappie, bass, perch, rock bass, etc. There is also a rope swing on the island where the kids swam and played while we fished off the boat around the corner of the island. We will definitely be back!

Why they chose this property

The owners are avid fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts. Pamela grew up vacationing in the Minocqua area and Pamela and Bruce are excited to share their special home with others. The owners purchased the home in May of 2014 and they completed a major refurbishment with all new carpeting, landscaping and decor. The owners continue to make yearly improvements to the property to make sure that Big Pine offers the best vacation experience for their guests..

What makes this property unique

The property is private home and on a large dual lake system perfect for swimming, fishing and other water sports. We are about 10 minutes to grocery stores (Trigs and Walmart) and about 15 minutes downtown Mincoqua for all that the town has to offer. There are some wonderful restaurants just minutes away from the cabin on Hwy 70.
