"It's hard to describe how fantastic this house is; spacious, very clean, and great views. As soon as you walk in you feel like you are at home, it is always very clean, spacious, well furnished, and the kitchen has everything you need. Not only are the views fabulous, the screened in porch is definitely great for enjoying evening or morning coffee with no bugs. Met and exceeded my expectations. We highly recommend the Brick House." -C.T.

Nice property!

We made the best for snowmobiling, looks like we missed all the snow! We ended up trailering up to Mercer and rode north from there. Trails were great. The house was really nice n plenty of room with all the amenities needed. Thank you!

Endless Activities

We had people of all ages and noone at any point was bored! The family rooms are large enough to accommodate quite a few people and there are also plenty of rooms if people want to split up in smaller groups. We had fun sledding and truly enjoyed the views in winter! We're hoping to be able to return in other seasons as well. Wonderful location and very well kept house! Becca was responsive and accommodating, thank you!!

Perfect Northwoods Getaway

We had an amazing stay at the Brick House! Becca was a fantastic host, always quick to respond and very helpful. The house itself was very roomy and yet cozy at the same time. My mother uses a wheelchair and had no problem navigating the house. The house sits right on the lake. It was such a beautiful view. The two docks were great to tie up our fishing boat and fish off of. The provided kayaks were a ton of fun! We definitely hope to return next fall! I would highly recommend the Brick House for your stay in Manitowash Waters!

The Brick House - Perfect for a gathering of friends!

The Brick House near Manitowish Waters was a perfect match for our time with friends! Well- maintained, well-appointed, spotlessly clean... and we loved the dock! Becca, the contact, was always available and helpful. We hope to go back!

Memorable Alder Lake Vacation

Excellent vacation for us and our visiting family members from California. The house and property were all we hoped it would be from what we saw online. A big Thank You to Becca and the Bartelling organization. Both worked hard to make our vacation a memorable and special experience. Very responsive to every one of our questions and requests. We’re already planning to return next year with our family.

Beautiful home in a gorgeous setting

We just returned from a long weekend at the Brickhouse, and couldn’t be happier! Becca was wonderful to work with, and the property was absolutely perfect! The house is perfectly appointed and cozy while being large enough for everyone to have their own space when needed. The lakefront location, available rowboat, and sandy entry into the lake made it very easy to entertain our kids (ages 10, 12, and 14). The wifi and smart tv kept everyone happy on rainy days, but with the gorgeous location and many local activities we weren’t inside much during the day. Everyone had a wonderful weekend, due in large part to the Brickhouse and the many amenities there. We highly recommend!

Spacious clean home on sandy frontage

Very spacious home for everyone to be able to get quiet time if needed. Nice sandy lake frontage. The lake this home is on doesn’t have a lot of traffic on it but if you would like more action you could head to some of the other lakes on the chain. This home is very clean and has pretty much everything you would need for your stay. I am very fussy and would definitely rent this home again.
