Fully furnished log home in one of northern Wisconsin's last wilderness areas
I warmly welcome you to my home located in the midst of Northern Wisconsin's last remote wilderness area. This home is centrally located between Manitowish Waters, WI, Mercer, WI, Hurley, WI, and Wakefield, MI. My home is a 6700 sq. ft. custom built log home from lodge pole pines from western British Columbia.

I’m excited for you to enjoy your stay at this special place. As for things to do, the list is endless.
This home is designed for a relaxing retreat, a couples getaway, fun with friends, family gatherings, special events, or for recreation such as fishing, kayaking, canoeing, road biking, mountain biking, fat tire biking, hiking, downhill skiing, world class cross-country skiing (skate and classic), snowshoeing, ATVing, snowmobiling, and waterfall hunting. It is within minutes to miles of groomed world class cross-country trails, walking trails, bike trails (connecting to neighboring towns/cities), and fabulous 5 star fine restaurants.
