About Mike
My name is Mike. I am retired from the US Coast Guard. My wife Ann and I like to travel and spend as much time as we can with our children and grandchildren.
Mike purchased this House in 1985
Why Mike chose Two Rivers
My parents lived next door to this house on property they had purchased from the previous owners of this property. The previous owners (who were the original homesteaders) eventually passed ownership to their youngest son. That owner, Leo, finding it difficult to afford the basics of life, convinced Ann & I to purchase the property and allow him life estate. We eventually did just that. In 2002 Leo went back to heaven. Ann and I didn't want to sell the house because there is a large beautiful barn and two other outbuildings that we use as a wood working shop and for storage. We then figured that since this is such a beautiful area and so many people always fill the Point Beach State Forest campgrounds, that we could offer the house as an alternative to sleeping on the ground in a tent. So 20 years after we purchased the property we took the one bedroom one bath house down to the studs and remodeled it into a 3 bedroom, 3 full bath, fully furnished and outfitted get away for those who like comfort in their vacation accomodations. Our pricing isn't really that much more than a hotel room but we have many many more amenities and a lot more room than a hotel. Don't neglect to read the reviews below. I believe you will find that we were successful in our endeavor to make it a nice place to stay. We hope we can welcome you to our get-away.
What makes this House unique
When you arrive you see this quaint old farm house on an expansive yard and plenty of open grass area to relax in the sunshine, play ball, set up your croquet set. The house sits next to a beautifully cared for barn. (also built by Al Capone) When you enter the house you will notice the attention to detail that we put into the remodel. Rounded corners on all the walls; high end appliances (including washer and dryer);wireless Internet, flat screen TV, free telephone;100s of books and nice soft chairs to sit around the fireplace if it's chilly outside. Perfect for families who like their space and perfect for 2 or 3 couples looking to get away and enjoy all the amenities of a fully outfitted home rather than a hotel room.

Lovely country home!
Rented the home to attend a Green Bay Packer game. Didn't spend a lot of time at the house, but it was a lovely older farm house very nicely updated. Everything we needed and more! It would certainly be a wonderful spot to spend so time in the warmer months. Thanks Mike,for sharing your lovely home!
Winter Get a Way
We had a group of 3 and where there to participate in a mountain bike event.
Perfect location, clean, quiet, well equipped. This is as good as it gets. Loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom.
Highly Recommend!

Very pleasant stay
Emaculate house. Property was very well organized. Complete package.
Great having you guys for the weekend. Hope you had an uneventful trip home and hope to see you again.
Great family get away
This is the 2nd time we stayed at this property and as last year, we enjoyed our stay. The owner went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and address any questions we had.
The house was beautiful and fit our needs perfect.
We had a great time, the owner came and introduced himself when we got there.
