Lake Front Cottage On Beautiful Big Portage Lake With Private Beach And Dock.
Secluded Cottage on one of the best walleye lakes in the Northwoods. Three bedroom fully furnished, One and one-half baths, surrounded by tall pines, birch, and hardwood forest. The beach has a sandy bottom with gradual slope away from shore, which makes it excellent for swimming and water-sports. There is a picturesque stone walkway down to the dock which is located directly off the Point. The dock has a built-in bench for evening views of spectacular northern sunsets.
The cottage has a large open deck off the front, with panoramic views through a beautiful thinly forested shoreline of stately Norway and White Pine, along with Birch, Maple, and Oak hardwoods. One bedroom has a king-size bed and an adjacent full bath, another has a queen-size bed with adjacent half bath, and a third bedroom has a queen, a full, and two twin beds. The cottage also has a large sitting room with a queen-size hide-a-bed sofa for sleeping.
The kitchen has an electric stove, microwave, dishwasher, and a large refrigerator. The dining room has a table seating six, and the living room has large lake-viewing windows and a fireplace for those cool summer evenings or colder winter days.
Wildlife abounds in the surrounding woods and out on the lake. The eerie call of a loon is often heard in the still evenings or early mornings, and mother duck waddles along the shore with her brood closely following behind. Eagles are frequently seen on the lake soaring overhead.

About the host
Hosted by William Shields
The Shields Family originally came from Eagle River. Our parents bought the cottage in 1968 and used it as a weekend 'get-a-way' while they were still working (Dad was City Engineer of Eagle River and Mom was a school teacher for Eagle River (now Northland Pines) School District. After they both retired, they sold their house in Eagle River and moved up to Big Portage Lake. Actually, the original cottage was more of a large cabin, and it burned down in the early 70's. They rebuilt the cottage to what it is today, except for the large addition or 'sitting room' (we call this the 'Lois Room' after Mom) at the entrance.
My brother and I live/work with our families in other states (Colorado and Ohio), and at present are not able to use the property as much as we'd like. Therefore, we decided to share some of the northwoods experience on Big Portage Lake that we've had over the years.
The name 'Shields Pine-Rest' is not only appropriate, but is also historic. Our father was from Chicago, and his mom and dad (our grandparents) bought a resort on Little St. Germain Lake and operated it during the summers. They called it 'Shields Pine-Rest', as there were huge white and norway pines scattered among the cabins. I believe now it is called the Pine Valley Resort, located just off of Shields Road, on the south shore of Little St. Germain Lake.
