Timberline Lakeside Lodge on Lake Wissota in Pine Harbor

Relax with family and friends at Timberline Lakeside, a peaceful private lakefront retreat nestled among the trees on one of the most secluded dead-end roads on Lake Wissota.

With a long turnaround driveway, there’s plenty of parking for cars, boats, and trailers. The large, flat yard is perfect for yard games, outdoor activities, and family fun.

The Space

The home offers 4 spacious bedrooms spaced apart for maximum privacy, a Murphy bed, and a sofa sleeper, with up to 8 beds total—plenty of room for families, friends, fishing trips, reunions, and getaways.

There are 2.5 bathrooms, including a charming clawfoot soaking tub and a spacious walk-in shower.

The large deck overlooking the lake is ideal for morning coffee, outdoor dining, relaxing in the sunshine, or enjoying an evening drink while taking in the views.

Outside, the expansive yard provides plenty of space for games and activities, while the fire pit is the perfect place to gather for s’mores, stories, and stargazing.

Guests can also enjoy the included kayaks and tubes for exploring the shoreline or simply relaxing on the water.

Autumn & Winter at Timberline Lakeside

Lake Wissota is beautiful in every season, but fall brings a special kind of magic. Take a hike through the surrounding woods as the landscape comes alive with brilliant reds, oranges, and golds, or grab a kayak and paddle along the shoreline surrounded by
spectacular autumn color. Lake Wissota State Park offers miles of scenic trails through woods, prairie, and along the lake, making it easy to enjoy the crisp fall air and changing landscape.

When winter arrives, the lake becomes a completely different playground. Bundle up for a peaceful walk or snowshoe, enjoy cross-country skiing on the groomed trails at Lake Wissota State Park, or try your hand at ice fishing on the frozen lake. When
ice conditions are safe, you can even explore the lake and venture toward the island. Nearby are hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails. After a day outdoors, return to Timberline Lakeside, warm up with a gas fireplace, and enjoy the quiet beauty of winter
on the lake.

The Lake

Timberline Lakeside sits on a beautiful bay directly across from a small sandy beach island that’s easy to reach by swimming, kayak, or paddleboard. It’s a great spot for swimming, paddling, fishing, sipping a beverage, floating, or building sandcastles with
the kids and grandkids.

Boat Rental

Want to explore more of Lake Wissota? A 17-foot Starcraft deck boat that accommodates up to 12 passengers is available for rent during your stay. The boat is easy to operate and gives you the freedom to explore the lake, visit a farther island, dock
at Wissota State Park, or cruise to one of the area’s waterfront restaurants:
Sand Bar Restaurant
High Shores
1917 Restaurant
Wissota Lodge

Whether you’re heading out for a day on the water, a swim at a nearby island, or dinner by the lake, having a boat at your disposal makes it easy to enjoy more of what Lake Wissota has to offer.

With its private setting, comfortable accommodations, spacious outdoor areas, and easy lake access, Timberline Lakeside is a place to slow down, get outside, and enjoy time together on Lake Wissota.

This is an awesome property! Clean, very well stocked, and easy to communicate with the host. We loved the bar stools on the deck with an amazing view of the lake, great fire pit, and the 2 bonus beverage refrigerators. We had 2 families with college / hs aged kids and there was ample room for all of us to either be together or have separate space. I'd highly recommend this lake property!

Amazing Family Getaway

Our family which consisted of 6 adults and 3 littles (2.5 yo and under) had a fabulous time at this property. The home was very spacious, perfect room options, with all the amenities being provided needed to have a perfect staycation. Kids enjoyed running around the house..inside & out, the pontoon option was perfect to get out on the beautiful lake, parks nearby worked out nice during the cloudy days. Amy was very responsive with any inquiries or requests. We greatly appreciated the family time at this beautiful home.

Winter Getaway

We had a wonderful experience during our trip to the lake! Chippewa Falls has so much to offer and this property was perfect for our family of 6. We did a brewery tour at Leinies, ice fishing, snowy walks and lots of fun playing games. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen was great and the master suite was exceptional. We didn’t want to leave and we would love to return in summer. Easy check out and Any was a great host. Thank you for such a memorable winter getaway.

Fantastic House and Location

We took our adult children and their boy friends on vacation to Lake Wissota and loved staying at Timberline Lodge. The house was spacious enough for everyone to have privacy, but also had large common areas for talking, eating and playing cards. The outdoor spaces were wonderful - very large upper deck, a lower patio, and chairs around a fire pit on a mid section between the house and the lake. Amy was a gracious hostess, very responsive, and has stocked the house with everything needed for a great stay. We would return!

Lake Wissota stay

Everything was just as shown in the listing and all the comforts of home were available. The 4 stars for cleanliness was only because the refrigerator and freezer were very unclean. Everything else was very clean. There was lots of room inside and out for our whole group. Amy was very quick to respond to any questions we had!!

The lake house, fire pit area, and dock were wonderful. Very well set up and furnished. Basically the only things you had to bring were clothing, food, and beverages. Nice kitchen, plenty of lounging and sleeping areas, large upper deck and lower patio. The home sits on a protected bay on the lake and remains calm on windy days. Canoe and kayaks were fun and lots of floating tubes for swimming and lounging. Amy, the host, was very helpful. The only comment regarding the lake access is there are stairs due to the steep bank. We were all in pretty good shape but you wanted to make your trips count. Very nice property.
