About this property
Modern Home on Quiet Lake, Townsend WI
Welcome to your home away from home, where you'll find everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The lower level has a full kitchen, 1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom with a shower, laundry room and living room. Walk outside to enjoy the lakeside fire pit. Upstairs you'll find another full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, another full bathroom with tub and shower, and a spacious deck overlooking the lake. Go up one more level to the roomy loft with two more beds, a desk and more amazing views! This home sleeps 10 comfortably in beds.
Smoke lake provides a quiet oasis, and is connected to Little Pickerel and the fully recreational Pickerel Lake. The boating rules are set by Pickerel Lake Association - generally, no wake from 5PM to 10AM. Enjoy fishing year-round for Bass, Crappie, Perch and Northern right from the dock. (Boats may be available for rental at Powers Service Center right in Townsend, but make your reservation for it early!) Launch your boat or jet ski on Pickerel Lake and navigate through the channel to get to our lake and home where you can park your standard size boat. We do have two exterior cameras monitoring the driveway and the dock when the home is vacant.
PLEASE NOTE: Our dock is removed between Fall and Spring. (Specific dates depend on seasonal weather, but generally our dock is in place between Memorial Day and Labor Day.) If you are bringing your boat, or if having a dock is important to you, please inquire with us before you make your reservation.
In fall and/or winter, hop on your ATV or snow mobile and ride the connected trails which are only .2 miles away! There are places in Townsend or Lakewood that may have winter equipment rental for you, like snow shoes, etc.
Grocery and hardware stores, restaurants, and bars just minutes away. More dining and shopping is close by in the neighboring town of Lakewood. There are several golf courses in the area, and Carter Casino is 5 miles away.

About the host
Hosted by Taunya and Tom Kunz
Tom has been coming to the area for over 20 years and always dreamed of having a place "Up North." Taunya grew up in the desert, so having a home on the lake is a dream come true. We really hadn't planned to buy a property yet, but as soon as we saw this one, we knew it was the one for us! We love coming here with our family and friends, and are happy to share it with you! We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We love that Smoke Lake is so quiet. It's great to be able to paddle through the channel over to Little Pickerel Lake, then on to (the bigger) Pickerel, a full recreational lake. It really is the best of both worlds.
Spending time on the deck or around the firepit is awesome. The views are unmatched. And listen closely to hear the loons!
Our location is easy to find. It is so peaceful that you feel like you're really remote. Yet you'll find everything you need, from shopping to dining and more, just minutes away.

What makes this property unique
We fell in love the moment we walked in the door. We love that we can bring our whole family and everyone has plenty of room. We can enjoy big family meals at the dining tables, or coffee on the deck in the morning. We can sit around the fire outside, or by the fireplace inside. There's enough to keep busy - if you want to - with lake activities in the Summer or snow activities in the Winter. Or just relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the north woods.
