Escape the hustle and enjoy the Northwoods as it is meant to be--with pristine, unspoiled vistas, peace, and quiet. We are located on a peninsula on 200 acre Wind Pudding Lake, with 450 feet of frontage and water on three sides. Wind Pudding Lake is rated as one of the top 10 clearest lakes in Wisconsin by the UW-Extension Program. Our house is situated just 60 feet from the shore and commands panoramic 180 degree views.

You will see no neighbors and have this virtually undeveloped lake for yourself! This lake has limited public access, no resorts, so you can enjoy the serenity. The lake is a beautiful combination of open water with 34 foot depths and areas of lily pads and sedge grasses that attracts a variety of birds and fish. The lake front is unspoiled and teeming with wildlife. There is good panfish fishing and occasional perch, bass, and even northern pike.

If you are looking to stay on a motor boat lake, this is not where you want to vacation. If, however, you wish to have a peaceful, relaxing vacation with no noise and complete privacy (there are no neighbors in sight), where you can swim, enjoy the eagles nesting on the nearby island, do a little canoeing or kayaking, and fish, we can't be beat!

This is also an excellent home base to explore nearby Minocqua (10 minutes), Lake Tomahawk (10 minutes), Eagle River (15 minutes), and Rhinelander (20 minutes). There are thousands of great fishing and boating lakes in the area, along with hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, and snowmobile trails.

Our home has 3 bedrooms:
1) Kids - twin over full bunkbed plus separate twin bed
2) Guest - queen bed
3) Master - king bed with en-suite bath
