Host profile image
We are Wisconsin natives (and Packer fans) and love living in Chetek for half the year and Fort Myers the winter months! My husband, Cal and I enjoy hanging out with our kids, friends and grandchildren whether we are boating, golfing, or being physically active. My special love is growing and tending to my flower and veggie garden. If you come in the right season, you may even end up with some of my veggies! Both Cal and I love meeting and helping people enjoy our quaint, sweet setting. We are so excited to welcome you all as special quests of ours!

Why they chose this property

We are lucky enough to have an 1/2 acre lot nestled in a dead end street on beautiful Lake Chetek. In fact, the street actually ends at our house. We do live in the big house but on the acreage, Summar Paradise Cottage sits about 75 feet from the main house, offering plenty of privacy and space with outdoor chairs, a patio table and a fire pit and grill. Summer Paradise is not directly on the water but has access to the dock. You can sit on the dock as much as you want! We have electricity to our boathouse so you can plug in right on the dock. There are only a few houses in this neighborhood and everyone is friendly but quiet. You won’t hear any loud parties in this area! There are no other rentals in the neighborhood.

Our downtown is vibrant and has many places to explore! Just 5 minutes away via walking, you’ll run into a unique grocery store, where it sells everything from fishing lures to wine. You’ll find the history center, antique, clothing shops and handmade art as you explore the area. A new bakery just opened and quickly established itself as a favorite to have with your Caribou coffee. There are several yummy ice cream places and candy galore! Like wine? Stop in the new wine bar, complete with its own charcuterie menu. Restaurants and fun bars are also included in this quaint, cute downtown. There are a myriad of events going on in downtown Chetek. You will love it here- a place where you’ll feel comfortable and safe anytime of the day or night!
