Beautiful and relaxing stay.

We enjoyed the heated porch that overlooked the lake. We had total solitude at the place, yet 20 minutes to the biggest town in the area.

Beautiful Home

We loved staying at this cozy cottage right on the lake. Waking up to lake views and spending time at night in the heated porch with a fire in the fire place was exactly how we wanted to unwind. We would absolutely stay here again and hope we get another reason to come back!

A quiet home on Wild Rice Lake

We enjoyed a lovely three days at this home overlooking Wild Rice Lake. So fun to hear loons, see a couple eagles, and delight in three river otters that happened past! Easy access to Boulder Junction and Manitowish Waters, and the nearby network of bike trails.

Artist’s Cove

If you love a quiet, beautiful, serene place to relax then this is it. Wild Rice Lake is perfect - no development on the southern shore. We just soaked in the loveliness and fell in love with this place.
