About this property

Classic Wisconsin Up-North cottage on the premier Manitowish Chain of Lakes

Welcome to our beautifully renovated lakeside cottage on the renowned Manitowish Chain of 10 Lakes — one of the most stunning waterways in Wisconsin's Northwoods.

This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat sits on a picturesque point with 500 feet of private frontage on Island Lake. Fully updated in 2018, the cottage features new flooring, windows, a renovated bathroom, and a cozy, classic, but elevated up-north Wisconsin feel.

The space
Step outside to your own private pier and swimming raft, or relax on the deck by the gas fire pit while watching eagles nest on the island across the water. Inside, the cozy living room features a wood-burning fireplace — perfect for cool Northwoods evenings. The spacious three-season porch is a guest favorite for morning coffee with a lake view.

Sleeping arrangements are flexible and can accommodate groups of all sizes. The first bedroom offers a king bed and two twin beds, while the second bedroom has a king bed and a twin. Both king beds can be converted to extra-long twins on request. A queen futon on the porch provides additional sleeping space.

Layout: 1,200 sq. ft. with a generous kitchen and dining area (27x14), a comfortable living room (19x17), and a bright three-season porch (10x19).

Location: Conveniently located just one mile off Hwy 51, with gas, groceries, and a bait shop less than two miles away. We're 8 miles south of Manitowish Waters and 24 miles north of Minocqua. Explore the chain by boat — there are waterfront restaurants and a full-service marina for fuel, bait, snacks, and lunch right on the water.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lake house! Everything about the home was perfect—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for a relaxing getaway. The views were stunning, and we especially loved spending time on the water with the pontoon boat, which was a great bonus. It was the perfect spot for a peaceful escape, and we’d definitely love to come back!

Perfect l, beautiful property on the lake. Everything was clean spotless. The hosts had provided for anything you might need, including beach towels, shampoo etc. The communication was great. The Pontoon is an extra addition to this stay. We loved the picturesque view, and enjoyed our every moment. Will definitely come back.

Wish we could have stayed longer

Amazing property, so beautiful and comfortable and very well cared for! Loved the rustic feel of the cabin while still enjoying all of the ammenities of home. Well appointed kitchen if you enjoy cooking, with all of the cookware and appliances you could need. Having access to the pontoon boat and kayaks on the property was a big plus, and allowed us to explore the other channel lakes beyond Island Lake. Plenty of other activites to do in the surrounding areas too. Several golf courses nearby, and can also rent E-bikes to enjoy the beautiful paved trails and wonderful restaurants in the area, as well. Great communication with the owner and property manager. Would highly recommend this property, and we hope to come back again someday soon!

Great Location and place

My wife and I had a great time at this beautiful location and nice cabin. I hesitate to say the owner should put new photos up as the current photos do not do it justice, and the write up for the property needs updating as well. The reason I hesitate is my wife is concerned we will have a hard time getting reservations once more people find out how nice this place is. I think my wife would want to buy this place if the owner ever wanted to sell it. Brenda the property manager was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. I would highly recommend.

An Amazing Summer Getaway

This was a beautiful property nestled on a quiet lake. The cabin and grounds were lovely and my family filled the days with swimming, kayaking, and exploring the lakes. Jim was quick to respond to any questions we had and made us feel very comfortable with knowing how everything worked at the house, how to get around on the lake, and some great supper clubs to visit. We can’t wait to return for another adventure!

Great stay for our family.

Lovely rustic cabin that had a nice big kitchen, updated bathroom, comfortable beds with high quality linens. The views are beautiful and because the yard has been treated for mosquitoes you can actually be outside to enjoy the views. Brenda and Jim were helpful and attentive.
