About this property

Northwoods cozy 3BR/2BA lakefront cabin on ATV/UTV trail

Nordvann Cabin is a newly refreshed 3 bedroom lakefront cabin nestled on Echo Lake. The bedrooms provide a queen-sized master bed. The corner bed is a cozy full-sized bed and the last provides a bunk bed with a full/twin-sized bed. The cabin also has two queen-sized pull-out sofas, a game room with a poker table and arcade game along with a bar for entertaining. Its 74' of eastern shores provide the best sunsets in the area nightly. Enjoy sitting on the private pier or enjoying a campfire and roasting marshmallows. Crack out the corn hole boards or bocce balls and let the fun begin.

For those who wish to snowmobile or UTV, Nordvann sits on the Iron County Snowmobile/UTV trail#8 and grants you access to over 300 miles of trails in both WI and UP! The large level lots allow for plenty of parking spaces for trailers, UTVs and sleds.

If you're a Cross country skier or a hiker, the MECCA trailhead is a mere 5-minute drive to groomed trails. For bikers, the Heart of Vilas trail starts in Mercer and offers over 50 miles of paved bike paths with small bridges and winding trails.

Great location to many ski hills: Scenic 35 min drive to several ski hills, including Mt Zion, Snowriver, Big Powerhorn in UP and Whitecap and Minocqua Winterpark in WI.

And day trips will take you through the wilderness to waterfalls or take a short day trip up to the Apostle Islands.

Echo Lake is a 206-acre full rec lake with a public launch just a half-mile away. Echo Lake is a wonderful lake for peaceful fishing, canoeing and kayaking. The lake is stocked with Walleye and is home to Muskie, Northern Pike, Large and Smallmouth bass and panfish.

The cabin sits directly adjacent to Carow Park with a full Soccer Field, Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, Playground and Swimming Beach. Plan your vacation today and discover Nordvann offers something for everyone in every season!

Note: water shoes are recommended if swimming next at the dock for all the clams in the water.

Friends & Family Getaway

This property was perfect for all types of activities & ages. Close to trails, rode our UTV’s up to Lake Superior & local attractions. Sat lakeside, fished, had bonfires, enjoyed the sunsets. Went tubing down the river at Rivers Edge Outfitters. Kids Zip Lined in Minocqua. Went to Boulder Junction Flea Market. Great location & great accommodations for our group. Owners were very attentive & responded quickly, smooth check in/check out process.

Guys Snowmobile trip

Great place to stay in Mercer! Plenty of parking for 2 or more trucks and trailers. The driveway entrance is pretty tight with the tree limbs and snow banks. The snowmobile trail is just down the road so easy access. Overall good experience and will definitely be back!

Great stay and great location.

It was a perfect location in Mercer right off of Hwy 51. The cabin was great and the view was beautiful. Our trip was as good as I’d hope with everything we needed at the cabin.

We had a good time outdoors. We traveled a bit, saw wonderful views of the Copper Falls.

The house was recently upgraded and we appreciate it. We had a good time outdoors. Our group loves hiking. We traveled a bit to have fun in the Copper Falls State Park. There is a great smart TV in the house and we watched some movies at night. We caught some fish, not too much, but still... In general, everything was great. Thanks to the owners of this property for our vacation.

Awesome vacation!

There was 15 of us staying at this property, we put 3 kids in a tent and the rest of us stayed in the house. We had plenty of room for all of us. The yard was plenty big for all of our activities with 9 children. Best vacation, something for everyone and lots of relaxing for the adults. Oh ya and the sunset sitting on the pier was incredible!!

Comfortable family cabin

Our stay at Nordvann cabin was wonderful. Our group was 4 adults and 5 teenagers. The cabin provides enough space to spread out, with a large yard, tv/game room and bar in the basement or enough room for us all sit together at the kitchen table or the upstairs living room. The fire pit area was a favorite gathering place and the large garage was great for holding all of our outdoor/fishing gear. The location is great, with a nice park/beach just across the road, the boat landing just up the road and a quiet neighborhood yet it's close enough to town to make shopping convenient. There are so many lakes in the area we were able to catch lots of fish, which was a big plus! Owners were amazing at answering all my questions before and during our stay and provided all the info we needed. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great for family getaway

We had a great time at Nordvann which was perfect for our long family weekend over the 4th of July. The cabin is quaint and cute but spacious, with plenty of amenities and supplies for our 7 adults and 2 little kids that joined us. Everyone commented on the convenience of the cabin and everything that Chris and Janice provided. The cabin is perfectly located on a pretty lake with short walk to town and park, which made coming with the little kids that much easier. We brought four cars and a boat and there was room enough for all of it. The hosts were also friendly and attentive in helping us with everything we needed and we'd love to come back! Cons: The cabin could use some updates, mostly cosmetic, to bring it up to perfection. Some of the beds (especially pull out couches) were hard for 2 adults to sleep on as advertised. The lake is beautiful but fishing not great, so if that's your primary goal you might try other lakes around.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Johnson

Host profile image
We are a family of four with Wisconsin roots. We have always been a lake family and enjoy boating, fishing and travel. Nordvann, meaning North Waters in Norgeign, is a tip of the hat to our Norweign family and inspired by the family cabin located in Edgursund, Norway.

Why they chose this property

Mercer is a special place to us because of the year round activities available. In the summer the lake is a special draw as well as the town of Mercer. During the fall the leaves and fires spectacular. During the winter we are close enough to the UP ski hills, the vast snowmobile trails and snow shoeing.

What makes this property unique

Nordvann is nestled on a quiet lake with quick access to UTV, snowmobile and bike trails with span miles around. We are close enough to walk to town where you can dine, shop and pick up necessities within minutes.
