House was wonderful with everything we needed for our week long stay! Very comfortable and exceptionally clean! The landscaping and grounds and beautiful and enjoyable to either sit by the fire pit or just hang around on the dock! Location is fantastic being minutes from great restaurants and downtown. Would definitely recommend this lovely home!
This is our go to vacation home once again! Fourth time! Our host is very accommodating and always available to answer any questions. The most complete kitchen I have ever experienced! No problem cooking ...the view of the lake makes cooking a pleasure. This the best, most beautiful and relaxing experience EVER!
Very comfortable and cute place. The updated outdoor space was very nice o too! We did everything from play board games, sight seeing, fishing, swimming, and more fishing. Our boat rental was easily tied up to the dock right out front which was very convenient. Great communication.
Our second time at Winman House and it was once again fabulous. The house has everything you need. The dock is located just right for morning sunrise with coffee. And, so is the deck! The griddle top grill is perfect for all types of dining! The fire pit area and landscaping are beautiful. Can’t say enough great things about this place. Thank you!
We had a very comfortable and fun stay at this property with 6 adults and a dog. The property was beautiful, well appointed and very clean. A lot of thought was put into providing comfortable outdoor spaces, and a nice bonus was finding outdoor games, beach towels, swim noodles, etc… for our use. Nice dock for swimming and sunning as well as space for our fishing boat. The owner is also very responsive via text. 100% would recommend!
We had 3 couples that stayed at the house all of us loved the house how it was equipped with what we needed, could sit on the deck in the morning with coffee enjoying the sun rise and enjoy an evening fire on the patio below. The lake was more of a quiet lake to relax and fish which some enjoyed doing. It was a little challenging for some to get to the lake as there were 42 steps to go down, not real good for a few who had health issues. All in all it was wonderful.
Enjoyed the stay at this home very much, very relaxing with a great view. Well equipped kitchen and baths. Cozy and comfortable house. The only tiny little thing I would have liked is a canoe or kayaks, however we did rent some so it wall worked out. I would stay again!
We absolutely loved our stay at this home! We enjoyed hiking, biking, boating, fishing and everything else the Northwoods has to offer in the summer. We would for sure rent this home again, it was fully stocked with everything we needed and more and the communication with the host was great!
We had a great time with family and friends in a well set up cabin on a beautiful lake. Nice amenities with a great kitchen and bathrooms. We will be back.
The house is a prime location for biking the Winman trails. House is clean and comfortable with great amenities. Highly recommended and we will definitely stay at this home again in the future.
This is the second time we stayed at this lake house. It is lovely and had everything we needed.
We love this lake house. Second time we have been there to enjoy the north woods in the autumn. We will definitely be back next year. The house is well appointed and lovely. We had a great time and got some much needed rest and relaxation.
We had a great time on Turtle Lake. Rented a pontoon through Good Nuf Rentals and it served us well. The house is in great shape and it lives up to the pictures and descriptions that are listed.
Cabin and property was clean and well-stocked with all the essentials for a low-stress getaway in the Northwoods. Backyard was great in the evenings by the fire pit. Early mornings were often spent fishing for panfish off the dock. Within a short drive of a coffee shop (Dixie’s), hikes for waterfalls, lumberjack show, beach, and many other adventures.
Very nice cabin on a great lake. View is beautiful. Excellent outdoor area. Although a little small in the dining area, it served our group of eight people nicely. There is outside dining too. Very nicely decorated and it has a backup generator which is fantastic since the town power went out for a few hours. No electrical disruption to us at all. Great cabin for a family.
We had such an amazing time! Our first night we got to see the Northern Lights, which was a first for all of us. We made a ton of great memories. We went sledding at Winman Trails and cooked dinner at the house. It was a special place and we will be back again soon! Thank you for opening up your home to us.
This property is great, simply put. Its clean, well appointed and has ample space to do anything you need to do. The deck over looking the lake is a great place to relax and enjoy the morning or evening. The owner has a very nice pier use for boating or just swimming and South Turtle Lake is a really great lake in northern Wisconsin. We hope to be back someday soo!
Wonderfully finished inside. Air conditioning. Nice kitchen. Private fire pit and dock. Don’t even see neighboring houses. Great private retreat!

What makes this property unique
Everything you could possibly want to make your stay comfortable! Amazing fishing & the best restaurants in Vilas County! This home is right in the middle of it all!! But if you prefer to stay at home you will be amazed at how peaceful just sitting on the deck can be. Listen for the Loons they sound like they are sitting right next to you.
