Quiet and peaceful, this lakefront home away sits on one-and-a-half acres of pure beauty for you and your family to enjoy the great outdoors in style. Boasting beautiful wood paneling, stone accents, and a wood-burning stove, you will have no trouble feeling like you are cozying up in a rustic cabin in the woods. Step out to the spacious deck with a fresh cup of coffee each morning and simply look out to the water to clear your mind as the sun rises. For a bit of lake fun, hop into the three single kayaks, and one double for guest use, and paddle out on the calm waters while you soak up some sunshine. When everyone builds up an appetite, the fully equipped kitchen is ready to assist in preparing amazing meals for the whole gang on all of the appliances of home. Plus, when the stars come out, the propane firepit on the deck will be the place to reminisce with loved ones until it is time to doze off to sweet dreams.

Though you will feel secluded at this location, there are plenty of activities and attractions nearby that will fill each day with a new adventure. When it comes to lake activities, Pike Lake is a fully recreational lake with a boat launch available(Rugger’s landing) where guests can bring their boat to access, as well as easily, swim, fish, ice fish, boat, kayak, or simply lounge on the beach with a good book in hand. Come winter, this home offers easy access to the snowmobile and ATV/UTV trail systems offering access to hundreds of miles of groomed trails in northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan. Located just 10 minutes from the beautiful Turtle Flambeau Flowage. Downtown Mercer is located a few miles away with restaurants and shops, plus, a round of golf will be easy to find with Tahoe Lynx Golf Course sitting a half-mile from your front door.

Amazing Lake Views!

Was really great being on the water, the views from all of the seating areas outside were beautiful. We even loved all 86 steps down and up from the dock and back. WIFI worked great and there was plenty of space.

Anniversary get a way.

We had a great week here in this cabin for our 50th anniversary. Cabin was well stocked, clean, and everything in working order. We stayed there for about a week and really enjoyed the atmosphere and our time of memories and togetherness. Due to weather and other schedules, we did not get to make use of the kayaks, that was the only downside. We had board game, TV, and internet when we confined to indoors, so no disappointments.

Great getaway

Great spot on the lake, used the kayaks everyday and had dinner sitting on the deck looking out over the lake. We rented a utv and the trail goes right by the house. Couldn't ask for much more.

Comfortable Cabin in Beautiful Setting

Loved that there were places to store all our stuff. Quality pans supplied unlike some rentals. Tastefully decorated, no trophy mounts which we appreciated. The cabin was clean. The neighbors were far enough away to offer seclusion.

Mercer Cabin

Very comfortable accommodations with beautiful views, but would have enjoyed a TV in the kitchen area. Upon arrival outside garbage containers had been destroyed with trash strewn about likely by animals. Contacted management and the problem was quickly cleaned up and resolved.

Not so winter getaway

We were planning on cross country skiing but Mother Nature had other ideas. Lots of hiking near by, 6 min from town, was just the right size for the 4 of us! We enjoyed our stay and would rent again. To the owners may want to add more dish towels or a drainer for under drying rack and a new toaster as you have to unplug it to get the toast to come up.

We loved the Loon!

The cottage was so clean. The linens are top notch. You can really relax on the beautiful deck. It was so quiet and the view is spectacular. We were able to visit so many fun restaurants and nearby towns. The lake was very clean, we floated the whole afternoon. Would definitely come back. I’m looking forward to coming back in the fall to see the leaves changing.

Great snowmobiling spot!

The house was just a short ride away from Trail 12B making it very easy to find. With the driveway being long and narrow (with snowbanks on the sides) I would suggest getting out and walking the driveway before entering with anything longer than a 2 place trailer but we made it work no problem!

Fabulous! Thank you for putting so much thought in the decor and amenities you so graciously provided. Everything so neat and Clean. Our favorite space... that's a tough one, because we enjoyed it all. The Lake is beautiful! Looking out from the deck watching the boats, water skis and tubing, so relaxing! This is Definity one of our favorite and we will be back! Thanks again for opening up your beautiful home! We had a Blast!

Mosquitoes

The cabin was ok, kind of bare bones. It served us well, as we only needed a place to sleep. Most of our time was spent on the nearby local rivers. Our big complaint was the amount of mosquitoes found in side the cabin. Literally had to construct tent over my bed in order to avoid mosquitoes. Killed countless numbers all over cabin. Someone, either cleaning person or previous guest, must have left doors open

Bugs and pine needle haven

When we arrived, we moved the bag of dirty towels and sheets in the driveway out of the way. The spiders greeted us and were annoyed that we wanted to share the space. The sheets and blankets were stale and had pine needles on them. We were told the local staff would come and bring us clean sheets but they never came. When it rained on Saturday, we placed pots in the bathroom to catch the rain from the leaking skylight. But other than that, the lake was beautiful and quiet.

Not as expected

Most places are ready for the people to arrive. This place had no propane, the bath/tub jets didnt work. We had to go into town to buy some cleaner for the tub. The pans need to be replaced. The basement living area was musty and damp. Carpet was wet in multiple places. Lots of moths inside. Couldnt enjoy the porch because the furniture was dirty and wet. I will not be renting here again. After reading the notes from previous renters the same issues we had are not taken care of from their time there.

Awful!!!!

There was supposed to be air conditioner, was not, cabin was 80 degrees. Was sent wrong WiFi password, wasn’t sent the correct one until second day so couldn’t look anything up on where to go and see. The smoke alarm started beeping on first night, had to get up and figure out which one. There were no screens on windows and the sliding doors screens had holes in them so couldn’t open windows to cool off house. We arrived on Monday and was supposed to stay until Friday but we left Wednesday morning, too hot in cabin to stay, very miserable.

Nice little getaway for me and my dog

Wish I could have stayed longer so I could have tried the kayak as well as the surrounding area as it seems to have to a lot to offer. I arrived in the evening, had one full day and then had to depart the next day. My dog loved looking out the windows on the lower level. Beautiful views of the lake through the trees. Wish there had been a cookie sheet or something to use with the oven otherwise it was pretty well stocked. They definitely need to fix the lowest step leading to the lake. I had to sit down and put my feet on the ground. Didn’t want to roll an ankle as no one would have heard my calls for help! That’s how isolated you are!
