About this property
Renovated Waterfront Northwoods Cabin with NEW 2024 Pontoon Boat and fire pit
Our quintessential Northwoods cottage is the perfect gathering for a vacation away at any time of year. Our waterfront location is perfect for swimming, fishing, leisure boating (pontoon included), and family retreats in the summer, and is located on the ATV & Snowmobile trails for winter fun. Our cabin is last in the line on this side of the lake making for a quiet and private location for a swing in the hammock or a day of swimming before lighting a fire and sitting out to listen to the bullfrogs welcome the early evening.
The cabin has 2 bedrooms (plus another walk through "bedroom" with a pullout couch) and 1 subdivided bathroom (sleeps 6 to 8). It was completely remodeled with modern amenities in 2021! Located on a secluded bay on 1300 acre Pickerel Lake, you’ll love our place for the ambiance, access to the outdoors, tranquility and privacy.
Our 51 acres includes 2500 feet of water frontage including a majority of the bay. We provide easy access to the lake with two private boat docks including an L-shaped dock with seating and the Brand New 2024 model pontoon boat, and a second dock with canoes and paddles for exploring the bay. The deck overlooking the lake is the perfect place for a morning coffee or an evening cocktail while enjoying the sound of the lapping waves.
Swimming is available at the end of our dock where it is about 4-ft deep with a fairly sandy bottom. We have a swim ladder at the end of the pier. Nearby areas of the bay have more weeds and muddy bottom. Larger areas to swim are available on Pickerel Lake just a short boat ride away, and popular beaches can be found on nearby lakes.
THE CABIN: The cottage is about 1,000 square feet with 500 square feet downstairs and 500 up-stairs. Three bedrooms include three queen beds, and two pull-out sleeper sofas. The loft bedroom includes a TV and love seat. A fully equipped kitchen comes complete with gas stove, dishwasher, and microwave. Also included are wicker patio furniture, hammock, fire pit, propane grill and laundry on-site. The Cottage is equipped with air conditioning and heat, and a propane furnace for optimal comfort all year round. Level 2 Electric car charging for 2 cars with 40 Amps each; gain approximately 30 miles of range per hour.
THE BOAT: Did we mention this rental includes a pontoon boat with no extra fees? There is plenty of room to relax on or fish from our 2024 Montego Bay Fish and Cruise pontoon boat. The boat is available during the boating season (Approximately MAY 1st-October 25th). This 22-ft boat seats up to 12 persons and includes an adjustable bimini top, live-well, a 90 horse 4-stroke Mercury motor, fish finder, and a 27-gallon fuel tank to enable a lot more boating time! A rental agreement needs to be completed prior to your stay.
The pontoon is kept on an electric boat lift making it easy to lower the boat and head out onto the lake. We keep our rental rates for the cottage and the boat competitively priced to keep this a best value rental. For reference, local pontoon boat rentals alone cost approximately $300 per day or up to $2,100 per week (with NO cottage included). Save money with our bundle!*
THE LOCATION: The property is located on the northwest corner of Pickerel Lake between the towns of Pickerel and Mole Lake.
Distance to:
Crandon - 20 miles
Antigo - 25 miles
Green Bay - 95 miles
Madison - 188 miles
Milwaukee - 211 miles
Chicago - 301 miles
OPTIONAL BOAT MOTOR RENTALS: We have a 15-horse outboard available to rent for $80 per stay. This can be attached to the row boat and provides access to Crane lake through the culvert. We also have a NEW 2020 model 30-pound thrust Minn Kota Trolling motor and battery available for $20 per stay. Please ask if interested in renting either the outboard motor or the trolling motor or both.
*We may consider rental of the cottage without the pontoon boat at a discounted rate in the following cases:
• If you are renting in May, September or October and your rental period does not include a Friday or Saturday night stay.
• If you are making a reservation within 7 days of your check-in date.

About the host
Hosted by Daniel Gresch
Our family worked together to completely rebuild this cottage in 2014. We have been vacationing on Pickerel Lake for decades before deciding to buy a place of our own. We love this lake and community, and are excited to share our cottage with you so your family can create lifelong memories of your own.
Why they chose this property
Our cottage combines Northwoods ambiance, water access, and a new pontoon boat with our completely renovated property. Upgrades throughout make for a comfortable stay for your entire group, and a setting perfect for making lifelong memories.
What makes this property unique
The cottage comes with a brand new Pontoon boat, on-site laundry and sleeps up to 8 people. It is a nearly new building as it was completely rebuilt in 2014, and remodeled with modern amenities in 2021. Includes great views of the lake with good fishing and water access right off the dock.
For winter visitors, we are right on the ATV Trail Route! You can use the blacktop Pickerel Lake road (subject to a 25 mile per hour posted ATV speed limit) to connect to the off-road trails that start approximately 2.5 miles to the west. You can get to the Augustyn Spring trails from there (maybe two miles further-on off-road trails). This connects to the White Lake ATV Trails. You can venture further west and hook up with the Parrish Highlands ATV Trails. Alternatively you can go east on Pickerel Lake Road and connect with the Nicolet State ATV trail.
We are also right on the Snowmobile Trail! Unload your sled and you are ready to venture across the state on your snowmobile.
