We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and very inviting. We walked, had lake time and loved spending down time with our family, our son came from Colorado!
Our stay was Aug 19-22 and.
The weather was perfect for trail riding.
The cabin was perfect like always.
Thank you for another great vacation Bill..

Spent a long weekend riding the trails in the area. The trails were close and easy to find. We put on over 350 miles. The cabin was perfwct for unqinding after a long day of riding.

Loved this property. Quite and cozy! Would love to visit again soon!
Very nice place to stay and relax. Well kept property, secluded and quiet, easy access - even with two boats and trailers. Highly recommend this property.
Beautiful place to stay, perfect for us we came to trail ride.
Perfect cabin perfect location and the property manager is a great guy.
Thanks for everything..
Hope to go back next year...
We completely enjoyed our stay at this quiet cabin in the woods. It was clean with all the amenities you would need. The kids enjoyed the kayaks that were available. We were also thankful for the AC as our stay was in August. We would definitely consider staying here again.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the cabin in Mercer. The owners have made it so comfortable and welcoming, It feels like home! The area has so many interesting things to do - hiking, boating, biking and more! I loved riding the Vilas and Iron County bike trails!
The cabin was absolutely perfect! Relaxing atmosphere, the firepit was a huge hit (minus the mosquitos of course). The cabin was clean and well stocked with the necessities we needed. Will highly recommend this place to anyone needing a place to stay.
Very neat and tidy cabin located just outside Mercer, WI. It was as described and the owner gave us some nice recommendations for dining out. The main living area combined with the kitchen made for a super cozy and inviting place to relax and play some cribbage. Overall, great stay.
Such a cute little place nestled in the north woods! Had everything you could need. Easy to town and onto the UTV trails. Water was hot and seclusion was excellent!
We did not spend much time in cabin. Four of us were not familiar with keyless entry system. We had hard time entering first time because of lack of instructions Other than that, we enjoyed immensly
This stay exceeded our expectations. No complaints about anything. This cabin was very clean and well kept and had everything for a "fully furnished" cabin. Looking to book again.
Once again this property does not disappoint. This is our 3rd annual fishing trip up here in the north woods at this property. We have no desire to look else where.
This cabin was the perfect location for enjoying our family reunion on the other side of the lake. I wish we would’ve been able to use the shared water access but we ran out of time. But we hope to return!
We had a great time riding our ATVs directly from this conveniently located cabin to the 100s of miles of trails and into town for supplies. Fall colors were at peak which made the beauty of the woods even better. Cabin was comfortable, just a little smaller than expected. Very quiet neighborhood great for walking our dogs. Thanks for sharing it with us!
The cabin has nice modern amenities. Having a microwave, refrigerator/freezer with a working icemaker, and internet connection made the stay very pleasant. What we most appreciated though was the fact that the host responded to any questions very quickly. We had an issue with a water leak. Bill had the property manager and the plumber there within the hour.
We were surprised at the listing stating that it slept up to six people. For four men the room in the lower level that held two single beds was not enough room for our two guys. We were happy for the couch against the wall on the upper level where one of our guys slept all week
The property was very nice, quiet. The property listing included firewood to be available and it was not. The owner was asked about this and we received “Sorry, a bonfire was held last weekend”.

About the host
Hosted by Bill Buhmann
Purchased the Northernwood as a getaway property for me, my wife Cheryl and my two college-aged daughters in 2010. Still living in the Chicago area, but looking to spend more and more time in Mercer as we reach retirement.
Why they chose this property
The Northernwood is a perfect north woods getaway. Although not directly on a lake, it has shared access to Spider lake only two blocks away and hundreds of lakes that you could travel to within 30 minutes. Nestled on a wooded 3 1/2 acre lot on a dead-end road, it has all of the privacy that you would want. The Northernwood has direct access to both ATV and Snowmobile trails. There are over 200 miles of ATV/UTV trails in Iron County, and thousands of miles of snowmobile trails in Iron and neighboring counties.
