Remodeled Northwoods Lakefront Retreat- 85' of Lake Frontage on Horn Lake
Our Lakefront retreat is perfect for anyone who is looking to get away in the northwoods of Wisconsin. Comfortably sleeps 6 individuals. We have 2 bedrooms and a loft. 1 bedroom is equipped with a 3 person bunk bed system, which the little ones LOVE. The second bedroom is equipped with 1 queen size bed and has lake views. The loft provides sleeping space on it's pull out queen floor mattress.
The living room has a chair and loveseat, while the sun room has an additional couch with lake views.
We have a fire pit out by the lake surrounded by 7 Adirondack chairs. The deck has comfy lounge furniture (couch with ottoman, chair & coffee table) and out in the woods is a little 3 chair bistro set perfect for your morning coffee. The pier has two Adirondack chairs and a small side table.
For families looking for a great family retreat:
- Enjoy beautiful Horn Lake where you can float/swim in the water (note: We do get lily pads near the shoreline and around the pier. We like to paddle board or use the tube floats to the floating swim dock that is lily pad free for swimming! Our kids will swim to it!), or get out on your boat to enjoy Horn Lake and the other three connecting lakes.
- We have a 10'x10' floating dock out in the lake off our property that is set up to allow for swimming and lounging. It has two lounge chairs and a table are built in. The pad is anchored to prevent movement and has a ladder to easy up when you want to get out of the water.
- We have 3 adult kayaks, 3 youth kayaks, one paddle board (SUP) and 4 floating tubes that are available for your use (paddles included). Life vests are provided and must be worn while on the lake.
For the fishermen looking for a great fishing retreat:
- You can find fishing poles and some fishing gear in the fish shed on the property.
- Fish native to our lake system include Bass, Northern Pike, Panfish, and Walleye.
- Bring your boat or rent a boat and enjoy fishing on Horn Lake (full rec lake), while also having access to 3 additional lakes (Reservoir Pond (full rec lake), Little Horn Lake (no wake lake) and Explosion Lake (no wake lake) via the canal/tunnel. Public boat launch is right down the street from the cabin off of Horn Lake Road. If you rent a boat this is where you would meet the boat delivery person.
For the Snowmobilers and ice fishermen looking for a great retreat:
- Head out to Horn Lake to enjoy as much ice fishing as you can handle.
- There are tons of snowmobile trails nearby. So enjoy the northwoods from a unique perspective as you travel throughout the towns on your sled.
Whether you are looking to be active or just want to lounge around and enjoy the incredible night time stars by the bon fire, we have something for everyone.
The cabin has Starlink for wifi internet and tv! Check the "Welcome Book" at arrival for wifi user name & password.
Note: Cabin has "well water" so we do not recommend drinking the tap water or using it to make coffee. Please bring bottled water for drinking, coffee & cooking.
Brand new pier/dock just installed at the end of June 2023!!!

About the host
Hosted by Scott Dussman
Hi! We are Scott, Courtney, and Laura. Scott and Courtney are husband and wife with 3 small children. Courtney and Laura are sisters who were introduced to the northwoods through their father and family. Shortly after Courtney and Laura's father, Dennis, passed in 2019, they went on a search for a perfect northwoods retreat where they can remember their dad and carry on his legacy. That brings us to our home away from home, which we've named "Our Den". We hope you enjoy your time here as much as we do. Our father was a simple man who treasured time with family and loved his northwood get away every year with his loved ones. Around the house, you will see various wooden signs that we call "Dennis'-isms". These are some of his famous sayings that we've always loved and hope they bring smiles to others.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property because it fit every aspect of a home we were looking for. Close proximity to the lake was crucial because we wanted to be able to allow our little ones to swim by the shore and enjoy lake life.
The layout seemed perfect for getting our family together and still gave everyone their desired space. The large deck is great for entertaining, we love having fires down by the lake, and having a spot to fish in our backyard was sure to give our family memories for life.
We chose this town because it is a close drive to where our dad grew up, in Laona. We have spent the years coming back to towns like Lakewood, Wabeno, and Laona, so Townsend turned out to be a perfect middle ground choice for re-establishing our family roots in the northwoods.

What makes this property unique
For families, the set up is wonderful. We love letting our kids play by the lake, fishing off the pier, playing on our extra large floating pad, and making s'mores by the fire.
The house has some unique benefits for fisherman. We have a fish processing shed on the property that will allow you to clean and prepare any fish you might want to keep that you catch.
Another unique benefit for fisherman and families alike is being able to visit in the winter and get out on the lake for some ice fishing or ice skating.
Snowmobilers will also love our house because of the number of great trails all throughout the area.
Overall, we have tried to set up our home in a way that tries to make everyone comfortable. We know the challenges that can be presented when traveling with babies and toddlers. That is why we kept our "little" items to make them available for families to use in hopes it makes their life a little easier. We have a Pack and Play available, along with a high chair. Two items we always found important or that we missed the most when staying at someone else's house.
