About this property

Immaculate Wooded Retreat on the ¼ Mile Pristine Menominee River

Welcome to Your Northwoods Escape

Welcome to your private retreat in the heart of Wisconsin's Northwoods, where adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories come together. Nestled on more than 24 private wooded acres with over a quarter mile of frontage on both the Menominee River and Squaw Creek, our custom-built log home offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and year-round outdoor recreation.

Located just 70 miles north of Green Bay near Wausaukee, you'll feel miles away from the hustle of everyday life while being minutes from some of Wisconsin's best ATV/UTV trails, snowmobile trails, waterfalls, fishing, golf, hiking, and scenic drives.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, a reunion, a golf getaway, a fishing trip, an ATV adventure, a snowmobile weekend, or simply a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, you'll quickly understand why guests return year after year.

A Home Built for Making Memories

With over 3,000 square feet of living space, our handcrafted log-style home was designed for gathering together while still giving everyone room to spread out and relax.

Sleeping accommodations include:

Private master suite featuring a beautiful fieldstone shower, private bathroom, and its own screened three-season porch
Three additional spacious private bedrooms
A dedicated children's bedroom with bunk beds
A loft with additional sleeping space
One bedroom featuring a full-size bed plus two adult-size bunk beds—perfect for larger families or groups

Additional amenities include:

Three full bathrooms
Fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances
Large dining area for family meals and game nights
Spacious great room with soaring log ceilings
Comfortable furnishings throughout
Walk-out lower level featuring a game room, air hockey, board games, a big-screen TV, leather sectional, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace
High-speed Wi-Fi
Central air conditioning
Washer and dryer
Large outdoor deck with charcoal grill
Plenty of parking for trucks, trailers, ATVs, UTVs, and snowmobile trailers

Start your morning with coffee while listening to birds singing through the pines. Spend your days exploring everything the Northwoods has to offer, then return home to relax around the fireplace, share stories from the day's adventures, and enjoy an evening under a sky filled with stars.

Adventure Starts Right at the Property

One of the things guests love most is that the adventure begins the moment you pull into the driveway.

Bring your ATVs, UTVs, or snowmobiles and enjoy direct access to one of Wisconsin's premier trail systems. There's no need to trailer to a trailhead every day—simply unload once and ride from the property into hundreds of miles of connected trails and approved road routes throughout Marinette County.

Spend your day exploring scenic forests, winding trails, welcoming small towns, restaurants, scenic overlooks, rivers, and lakes. Stop whenever something catches your eye, enjoy lunch at a local tavern, grab homemade pie or ice cream, and continue your adventure at your own pace.

Every ride is different, and that's part of what makes this area so special.

The Northwoods Waterfall Adventure

One of our favorite experiences—and one our guests talk about long after they return home—is the Northwoods Waterfall Adventure, an unforgettable scenic journey covering approximately 120 miles through some of the most beautiful landscapes in northern Wisconsin.

The trip can be enjoyed by ATV, UTV, snowmobile (during winter conditions), motorcycle, or by simply taking a relaxing drive in your vehicle. Whether you're seeking adventure or a leisurely day exploring, this route offers something for everyone.

As you travel through towering pines, quiet country roads, scenic trails, and charming Northwoods communities, you'll discover some of Wisconsin's most spectacular waterfalls, including:

• Dave's Falls
• Veterans Falls
• Strong Falls
• McClintock Rapids
• Twelve Foot Falls
• Eight Foot Falls
• Eighteen Foot Falls
• Long Slide Falls
• Smalley Falls
• Horseshoe Falls

Each waterfall has its own personality. Some roar through dramatic rock formations, while others offer peaceful wooded trails where you can slow down, listen to the rushing water, and simply enjoy the beauty around you.

Along the way you'll pass rivers, lakes, forests, and welcoming Northwoods towns where you can stop for lunch, browse local shops, enjoy homemade pie, cool off with ice cream, or simply sit beside the water and take it all in.

Many guests enjoy completing the entire route as an unforgettable day trip. Others choose to turn it into a two- or three-day adventure, exploring additional trails, parks, lakes, restaurants, golf courses, and hidden gems throughout the area.

Every season offers a completely different experience. Spring brings rushing waterfalls, summer fills the forests with vibrant green, autumn paints the hillsides in brilliant reds and golds, and winter transforms the entire region into a snowmobiler's paradise.

It's much more than a scenic route—it's the kind of adventure that creates lasting memories.

Four Seasons of Northwoods Fun

No matter when you visit, there's always something to enjoy.

Spring
Watch waterfalls at their peak and enjoy peaceful hiking, wildlife viewing, and scenic drives.

Summer
Ride hundreds of miles of ATV and UTV trails, fish the rivers and nearby lakes, kayak, canoe, golf, swim, hike, or simply relax on the deck.

Fall
Experience some of Wisconsin's most beautiful fall colors while enjoying scenic drives, trail rides, photography, hiking, and campfires under cool autumn skies.

Winter
When the snow arrives, this area becomes a destination for snowmobilers from across the Midwest. Ride directly from the property onto hundreds of miles of groomed trails before warming up beside the fireplace at the end of the day.

Fishing, Golf & Local Favorites

The Menominee River and Squaw Creek provide opportunities to fish, explore, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Looking for a relaxing afternoon? Visit the nearby Four Seasons Island Resort on beautiful Miscauno Island, where you'll find:

Scenic golf course
Excellent dining
Indoor pool and spa
Beautiful river views
Walking trails
Easy access for ATV and snowmobile riders

Be sure to explore local restaurants and supper clubs, where you'll discover classic Wisconsin fish fries, hearty Northwoods meals, homemade desserts, and friendly small-town hospitality.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

Some come for the trails.

Some come for the waterfalls.

Others come for the fishing, golf, snowmobiling, or, simply, to unplug for a few days.

But almost everyone leaves saying the same thing—it wasn't just the beautiful log home or the incredible scenery that made the trip special. It was the feeling of slowing down, spending quality time together, exploring somewhere new, and creating memories that will be talked about long after the vacation ends.

We invite you to experience the beauty, adventure, and tranquility of Wisconsin's Northwoods for yourself. We hope your first visit is just the beginning of a tradition you'll look forward to year after year.

This property is fantastic. You can just relax & enjoy the northwoods. Or you can spend time exploring the trails, swim in the river, and check out the local waterfalls. We really enjoyed solving the puzzle hidden throughout the trails & saw plenty of deer while looking for clues. The AC worked great, even with a heat index over 100F. Plenty of room to spread out with a group of 7 adults. The caretaker, Brian, was quick to respond to requests. Our entire group loved this property & highly recommend! We hope to return soon.

We had a great time with our family. The house was spacious and plenty of room for everyone. There was a hiccup checking but the host replied to me right way! It was nice having the river right off the property and the wood area to explore. We loved the little scavenger hunt that even had a prize at the end! I really enjoyed my morning coffee in the screened porch most mornings. This is one of our favorites for sure and hope to go back in the future!

We had a wonderful time during our second stay at this cabin. This time, instead of a girls' weekend, we came as a family. I knew when I was here in January that I also wanted to visit during summer. I needed to drink coffee and read on that screened in porch. I loved it! Brian, the manager, is amazing. He is incredibly kind and helpful. The cabin housed all 7 of us with room to spare. The teenagers enjoyed the tubing, scavenger hunt, and campfires while we were there. They played a lot of ping pong. We also explored area waterfalls. This was a great setting to spend time together as a family, allowing us to be both unplugged at times but able to tap back in to modern comforts during other times. I definitely recommend this rental!

It started off not great. They asked us to check in later, not a problem. Once we got there, the code that they gave us didn’t work, which was also not a problem. Tried for an hour to contact Joseph with no luck. When we finally heard from him, he told us that the code was a different one that was given and to contact Brian the caretaker. It was very frustrating and it would’ve been nice to know before checking in. HOWEVER, after we finally got in it was smooth sailing. The house was clean and well organized. We were so surprised with how many kid toys and games they had! They thought of everything. The kids loved playing in the “tree fort”, enough rooms and beds for everyone, extra towels and blankets. We would definitely love to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Joseph Greenspan

Host profile image
We searched for the perfect 2nd home for 2 years. Our first thought was to be on a lake until we found the 29 acres with 1/4 mile of frontage. We are able to go boating, fishing and 4 wheeling without being crowed on the lake. We all love to go tubing, you start at the Chalk Hill Dam and float for an 1 1/2 and end up right at our place, it's our own little lazy river. We also love to take nature hikes through the woods or just long walks through the trails. This has been a great place for us to create new memories with our family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We found this property and fell in love with all the seasonal changes. We thought it was going to be a place we would visit mostly in the summer but found that there was something special each season we didn't want to miss. We found ourselves entertaining there more than we did at home. It is such a great escape.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy relaxing by the second fire pit down by the river watching the Bald Eagles flying by. When they fly low to the water, you can see their reflection while swooping down for a fish.
