About this property
You are here... well, almost!
Our clean, modern and cozy 3 bed / 2 bath home is situated on 80 feet of level frontage on the beautiful Townsend Flowage. The Flowage is a full recreation lake, with a no wake policy after 5pm, perfect for cocktail cruises. We are located on the upper lake, which is the quieter of the two.
The Flowage is a productive fishery, where you can catch large-mouth bass, rock bass, crappie and northern pike, along with perch, bluegill, and the occasional walleye and muskie. Loons, herons, ospreys and bald eagles also take up residence on the Flowage.
Our location means that you can truly have the best of both worlds while spending time here!
Quiet and private, you have full access to fish, swim or boat the 476 acre lake that includes a private dock.
Our frontage is ideal for swimming or just lounging on a float, and we have two kayaks available if you feel like exploring.
The wrap-around deck provides spectacular views of the lake, and allows for outdoor dining.
For the "winter warriors", the 80' of level frontage provide easy access for ice fishing! And snowmobile enthusiasts will love the fact that you can ride directly to the Paul Bunyan trails from our home.
Guests have access to a Weber Genesis gas grill that we keep in the 3 car detached garage.
Not in the mood to cook? A traditional north woods Supper Club is located within walking distance of our place.
A grocery store, hardware store, and gas station all are conveniently located within 1 mile of your getaway.
Inside, the open floor plan is roomy yet cozy, with views of the lake available from the kitchen dining area and knotty pine adorned living room.
The master bedroom features a queen bed and a private attached full bath, along with a work area and desk. The guest bedroom also has a queen bed, and a crib. The third bedroom is the bunk-room, a favorite of kids (and adults). 6 adults can sleep comfortably, and both couches in the living room are sleepers, in case you need to accommodate a few extra guests.
Two full baths, central air and a gas furnace make this a year round home, perfect for fall hunters. Plus, our location allows you direct access to the Paul Bunyan snowmobile trails that run through town.
In addition to the great views, our home also provides creature comforts for when you are done being outdoors. Dish Network and a flat screen TV means you can still catch your games during your stay. The DVD player lets you watch movies, and you have the ability to play or stream music through the stereo system in the living room.
Want to shed the tech? Plenty of games are available, as well as jigsaw puzzles and a variety of books. There is even a Wii console with plenty of games and remotes connected to the guest bedroom TV.
Townsend is a 3 hour drive from the Milwaukee area, and about 90 minutes from either Appleton or Green Bay.
Pets are limited to 1 well behaved dog, and since we do have year-round neighbors, our place is not what you would consider "party friendly". It is however ideal for families and adults looking for a peaceful getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Steve Luke
Why they chose this property
We live in suburban Milwaukee, and fell in love with northern Wisconsin when a friend graciously allowed us to stay at their property for a week.
We ended up doing this for a few years, and finally made the decision in 2004 to purchase our own up north getaway.
We ended up doing this for a few years, and finally made the decision in 2004 to purchase our own up north getaway.
What makes this property unique
What we love about our place is that it has all of the features that you would want in an up north property, but it is only 3 hours from Milwaukee.
It is relaxing and secluded, yet essential amenities (gas, groceries, food) are all within 1-2 miles of our location.
You can go off of the grid and unplug, or stay connected; the place offers both options.
The view of the lake from the deck, as well as the lot location with level frontage is what makes our place so appealing.
