About this property
Northwoods Lake Home - Schaefer’s Pad
Unwind in this year-round lakefront home on a secluded bay in northern Wisconsin. This home has three bedrooms (plus third floor loft with two twin beds) so easily sleeps 8, and has three and a half baths. Two roll-away beds are also accessible on site. There is an open concept kitchen and living area with bonus downstairs living/rec room. The home equipped with central AC and heat, 2-car garage and laundry room.
Fish off the dock, enjoy the northwoods from the wrap-around porch, or start a campfire right by the lake. Included are a fishing boat with small motor, fishing poles and tackle, canoe, and kayak. Please note swimming off of the dock is possible, but NOT optimal as the bay is shallow and weedy. We usually float away from shore on tubes or swim off of the pontoon.
Our pontoon boat is available for an additional fee ($100/night or $500 per week). It’s a 20-foot “Suntanner” pontoon, 2000 model with 10-person seating, 60hp motor, padded sun deck and sun canopy.
The home is 4 miles from downtown Tomahawk (or 20 minutes by boat!). Located on Lake Mohawksin, 40 minutes from Wausau and Minocqua. Tomahawk is a full-service town with many parks, restaurants, and shops. It is easy drive from Timms Hill, the high point of the state, the Harrison Hills ATV area, and many cross-country ski trails. It is also a certified snowmobile-friendly city. The house is less than 1/2 mile from the snowmobile trail crossing on Sunset Point Rd.
The Pad is a perfect getaway for family gatherings, fishing trips, boating, hunting, snowmobiling, ice fishing and anyone wishing to enjoy the outdoors all year long!
