Wild Forest is a spacious, well-equipped home ready to be your home base for your next family trip to Harshaw! This two-story home is a dream come true for sports enthusiasts. On the first level, you'll see a spacious bedroom with one bathroom and a wet bar. You already can tell boredom has no place at this lakefront retreat. As you move up to the second level and central area, you'll find a fancy dining area and a well-equipped kitchen with gorgeous granite countertops, a kitchen island, and all the appliances and utensils needed to whip up memorable meals and snacks for the whole family. Continue your tour through the house and unwind in the living area, conveniently equipped with inviting sofas in front of the wood-burning fireplace and TV.

The spacious screened porch right off the dining room is another excellent place to gather with your friends - sit down on the sofa and admire the views of the lake, browse on your phone and find fun activities nearby. Right off the screened-in porch is a convenient, covered dining area. But the real perk of this house is its game room and bar area. This spacious room is off the kitchen and features NFL memorabilia, mainly from the Green Bay Packers, a dartboard, a pool table, a full commercial bar, a large countertop, and a cozy sectional. This is the ultimate gathering spot with plenty of games for all ages.

And last but not least, the upper level features another living area with a large sofa, cable TV, and a mini-fridge. Outside, the large deck overlooking the lake is simply out of this world - gather around the firepit, roast s'mores, and share fun stories as you all take in unparalleled water views. The gas grill there will step up your cooking game.

Visit downtown Minocqua 14.5 miles north for shopping, events, restaurants, shows, boating, and swimming opportunities. Six kayaks are included with your vacation rental for convenience. Visit Wildwood Wildlife Park and Nature Center 16 miles to learn more about the local wildlife and enjoy animal feeding and petting experiences with bears, chinchillas, pigs, and camels. One of Wisconsin's top sporting facilities is Minocqua Winter Park, less than 20 miles away - it's mostly known for its cross-country skiing and snowshoeing experiences.

Awesome home for large groups

Lots of goodness with this home! We had 14 family members and we didn’t feel on top of each other for the week. The large “party room” with pool table and bar was absolutely amazing! We spent a lot of time together in here and had tons of room and chairs for everyone to sit. We brought tons of games to play but discovered there was a good amount already provided in the bar area, which was cool too. The kayaks were a hit for the pond and the bag boards provided hosted a bags tournament one day. Plenty of room for parking and still being able to play bags in the driveway. Kitchen was a bit on the small side for all our chefs, but we made it work. Fully stocked kitchen was nice. Oven was a little tricky just bc of the small size. Pot holders should definitely be added to the home. The back deck overlooking the pond was enormous and had tons of nice anti-gravity chairs for everyone! The two person swing was also a hit for many. The propane fire pit was okay. We would’ve preferred an actual wood burning pit to sit around to tell stories. All around great place to stay, just needs a few upgrades. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we enjoyed our week!

Beautiful house, lots of space

Huge house, plenty of bedrooms. The great hall has a big bar with lots of seating. Spent evenings out on the deck around the fire table. There were quite a few decorations and wall hangings missing that were in the listing photos which distracted a bit. We may be back next year.

Family Getaway

This property was a fantastic space for our family vacation as it allowed separate areas for our grandkids and kids. The great room was perfect for the older, late night folks to play pool, throw darts, turn up music and have fun without interrupting sleep schedules of our littles. The “bar” area is fully stocked with glassware, bar coolers and an ice maker so no need to go into the kitchen for anything. The kitchen is fully stocked: crockpots, rice cooker, dishes galore, and cooking utensils. No need to bring anything with you as they have it all! There is an oven in the porch area as well as a grill outside on the deck so a lot of cooking can be done outside of the house. The deck is HUGE and we found ourselves reading outside, listening to nature, or sitting out by the propane fire pit for a night cap. Kayaks and a paddle boat were available to use as well. As the listing states, central AC isn’t offered inside the entire home; we did bring fans up to help cool the house but there were multiple AC units as well. We had activities planned in Minocqua & Rhinelander throughout the week and it was very easy to “get into town” from the property. We loved it here - if you’re looking for a vacation home that can entertain a large group and also provide separate areas (napping grandparents / grandkids) without interruption- this is the place. We will definitely be back.

Pro's and Con's

The house itself and location were beautiful and perfect for a big family vacation. However, when we got to the house, several parts were really dirty so just make sure to take pictures when you get there so you can let them know. They ended up sending a cleaning person while we were there to take care of the issues, so I did appreciate that. It does say the older part of the house isn't air conditioned so we knew that. But the air conditioned part was still really hot and the air didn't work well. So make sure to bring fans.

Nice house with lots of space.

The house was great. Plenty of room and had everything you would need to have a nice stay. The only complaint we had was that the basement was hot and warm. The weather was in the 70’s so we couldn’t figure out why the basement got so warm. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay here.

A lot of space but has some issues.

I would give it 3.5 stars if that were possible. The A/C is a problem in warm weather (80+). One of the 2nd floor bedrooms is unusable if it's real hot. The 1st floor bedroom near the dining room has a large, noisy A/C unit on the floor that ducts to the window. The master bedroom is very cold because the thermostat is in a different room. The water for the house is of poor quality. It is yellow, smells and tastes bad. Can't do laundry because it would turn everything yellow and smelly. The lake has no fish. None! Consequently, there are no eagles, otters or other wildlife that eat fish. The lake is a dark tea color that stains clothing. You can not swim in the lake. There are frogs, turtles, deer and an occasional snake all around the house. The large deck is nice with beautiful lake views. We enjoyed the dock and kayaks. The great room with the pool table and bar was nice for indoor activities or just hanging out. Internet access was good and available throughout most of the house. We had a wonderful week at the house and enjoyed what it had to offer. If the weather is cooler and you don't want to fish, this property could be a very good choice.

Nice long weekend with friends and family

We had a great time. The deck was a great place to sit and relax. We ate almost every meal out there. The bar room was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed watching the Bucks clinch the Eastern Conference Finals in the that area.

Great Place for Large Group Gathering

We enjoyed staying here. Very good house and great bar area and very huge entertainment room and nice lake and we enjoyed kayak. Have couple of complaints though. 1)It was very hot outside when we rented, AC was not good in the Entertainment room and bedrooms and there is no AC or fan in one of the bedrooms, we had to call vacasa next day to fix the AC and maintenance came in the evening and got one pedastal fan and they cleared the AC vents, and little better in the bedrooms after that, it would have been great if we had couple of pedastal fans in the bar room. And the bar coolers are not working. 2) Wifi, It is near the kitchen area and we cant get the signal if we go to the bedrooms and patio and even some times in the bar area, It would have been great if we had wifi extenders. Only we have issues with AC and WIFI other than that we had great time here.
