---
The Setting
Set on a small, quiet lake, The Lake House is surrounded by tall trees, wildlife, and the sounds of nature. Wake up to loons calling across the water and enjoy watching deer, eagles, and songbirds throughout the day.
Evenings are best spent around a crackling fire sharing stories and roasting mallows.
Whether you’re lounging at the beach, paddling the shoreline, or just relaxing with your morning coffee, this is a true Northwoods retreat where you can unplug, breathe, and recharge.
Swim with confidence in a beautiful, natural, clean, clear lake with no known history of swimmer’s itch!

About the host
Hosted by Owner
Hi there! We're the fourth generation of our family to own this lake property, and we love it here. We've made so many great memories over the years, and we're excited to be able to share it with you.
The lake house is located on a small, quiet lake with access to some great trail systems. It's the perfect place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We like to keep things casual around the lake and end our evenings with an evening fire.
We've recently updated the lake house, but kept some of the original charm. We want you to feel like you're part of our family when you stay here, relaxed and comfortable!
We looking forward to hearing from you soon!
