Immaculate Wooded Retreat on the ¼ Mile Pristine Menominee River

Look no further for your escape from the pressures of everyday life than this wooded retreat. Our home away from home will take you from the hustle & bustle of daily life into the tranquility of the Northern Woods. Located approx. 70 miles north of Green Bay in Wausaukee, Wisconsin. Nestled among 24+ acres of woods, with ¼ mile of private frontage each on the pristine Menominee River & Squaw Creek, you will immediately trade your phone and laptop for hiking shoes, a swimsuit and shorts!

This open concept 3,000 square-foot custom-built log home was designed with our family in mind, leaving no detail overlooked. You will find five bedrooms, a loft, and three full baths. The master suite includes its own bathroom with a stunning field stone-lined shower and a private screened-in 3-season room. A large deck off of the great room will allow you & your guests to enjoy the serenity of the outdoors. The well-appointed modern kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances with a large dinette allows your friends & family to gather for home-cooked meals. The dining area has a back deck with a charcoal grill and picnic table.

Additionally, our home includes a walk-out basement with game room where your family can enjoy board games and air hockey, or kick back on the leather sectional for a movie on the big screen. This cozy space is the definition of comfort and provides additional room to spread out and relax. Also has a woodburning fireplace. Central air and laundry room available.

Family getaway
Our group of 14 came from all over Wisconsin and we absolutely loved this cabin! It’s incredibly kid friendly having a baby gate, games and toys. Communication with Joseph was very easy but NOT via the Vrbo app which is on not his fault at all. When I raised concerns about communication he called me and we had a quick chat but they were incredibly kind and had good tips. It is August in WI so while mosquitoes are unavoidable, we did notice less than normal. We brought our own mosquitoe repellent and repellent aids and it helped so much. The photos don’t do this place justice. It was very roomy for all of us. The only things I would suggest are to have the floor cleaned more regularly. When we spilled water and wiped it up there was a ton of dirt that came up as well. We had babies crawling all over so we were just more mindful of that. Also that the toilets flushed slower but that wasn’t too too big of a deal. Something I would offer advice on is to have a “when you leave” instructions. We have stayed at rentals before so we just made sure to leave the house how we found it but also stripped the beds. It wasn’t mentioned anywhere if we needed too but we did it anyways. Wifi: our group made it a point to not be on our phones as much but no one noticed a lag in wifi or bad service. Kitchen: bare min, will need to bring your own things. This place truly helped create core memories for us! We loved it so much and have already stated we want to make this a yearly trip.

Family Weekend
Very nice, secluded property. Cabin was very large and roomy. Game area in basement, fire pit, beautiful kitchen and plenty of space for all to eat and play games. The grill did not work, quick pivot for dinner one night. The caretaker of the property was amazing and so helpful! We enjoyed a float down the river. Lots to do in the area. Owner very responsive and great communication. Would absolutely return. verycommuniquestionWould

Yearly family trip
My family and I take a trip every year. We change locations every time but this one is going on the list to visit again. Such a beautiful cabin in an amazing location. The gentleman that takes care of the cabin was so extremely helpful and kind during our trip. He even droves us up river. The owner of the property was very fast at responding and helpful the whole time!

Private Cabin
Overall, the house was nice. It has that genuine cabin feel and is nice and private. The outdoor decks and screened in porch were great places to hang out. There seemed to be some mosquito management close to the house, which made being outside at night possible. There were plenty of pillows, blankets, and household gadgets available. One of the bunk beds listed is not a traditional bunk bed. It is crib sized and not usable by anyone over 3 feet tall. This derailed some of our sleeping arrangements as all 10 guests were adult couples. Also, one of the showers (basement) is not usable because it only has boiling hot water. No matter which way you turn the knob, only boiling hot water comes out. The smart tv that is listed does not work because there is no internet. However, there are movies available to play. The air hockey table is broken in many places but gives just enough air to play a slow game. The basketballs for the basketball game are all deflated. The location of the house is really nice because it is private. It didn’t take us long to figure out how to navigate the backroads. There is also plenty of parking. We had 6 vehicles and a boat and there was enough space.

Lovely house
The grounds and house were excellent. Warm, sunny, and well-stocked. Unfortunately, much of the walkable area, including the river-adjacent firepit, was flooded. That wouldn't normally be the case (the waters were starting to recede by the end) , but it did cut us off from the waterfront.

Very quite - Very nice
Very nice property, very quite and really a place to unwind. There is no tv, internet or cell service so if you are a electronic junky you are in for a shock. Otherwise if you want to get away from it all. This is for you.

This place is a great secluded spot with a lot of room to spread out and enjoy. Good communication with the manager. There is a lack of cell coverage and internet, but that's part of the charm. Would stay again.

Weekend Getaway for group of 14 - 8 June-10 June
We rented this property for a group of 14 people for our weekend getaway and it is a pleasure to inform that this has been a surprisingly pleasant experience for us all. Some of the pros and cons are listed below:- Pros: -5 excellent bedrooms which are spacious with an additional bedroom for toddlers which was pretty cute -Fully equipped kitchen with all necessary utensils, cutlery, oven, refrigerator and dishwasher - all in working condition. -No WIFI - I feel this was an added for us benefit because we wanted it to be a gadget free weekend and it helped us achieve the goal. -Absolutely stunning surroundings amidst the woods -A very nice grilling and a campfire spot which helped us all sit together and have a fun time -Plenty of firewood -Game room in the basement was also an added bonus which is suitable for kids. Cons: -The couch in the living room is a bit old -Plenty of bugs & Mosqitoes outside which is expected. Carry repellants if you plan on staying outdoors -The river is not suitable for any water activities like tubing, swimming or fishing. Also, the wooden steps into the river and dock were broken and the canoe is not useable. The pictures of Dock are very old in the website. Overall it was a very nice experience and I definitely recommend this place. Please be aware that there will be little or no cell phone connectivity. Hence, take the needed precautions in case you are in dire need of a network.

Very nice cottage, NO wifi
Very nice! I wish there were less bugs and we could have enjoyed the outdoors more. The house was beautiful. There are was no wifi which was inconvenient since there is no cellular connection in the area. I would suggest taking extra items with you. The bedrooms are fairly nice, there is a very cute room for toddlers not to be mistaken for anyone beyond 5. Very small bunk bed. It was clean. The recycling and trash were confusing.The closest gas station is about 10 miles away. The river is not suited for fishing. Overall, a very nice house.

Excellent property and home. We all enjoyed our stay with plenty of space in the well maintained house as well as a fantastic outdoor space with no neighboring homes in sight. I would recommend to anyone looking for a secluded peaceful retreat in northern Wisconsin!

Family Gathering and Getaway
This place was amazing and truly like living in the wilderness. The house was gorgeous and spacious. They had everything that you need there. The phones not getting reception made everyone disconnect and enjoy the family. The deck was big enough to fit the whole family and have music, enjoy the scenery and company. The fishing was amazing and so were the boats to relax on the river. The trails were great for the kids to go and explore. They only wished to see more animals. The owner / agency was very helpful and answered all my questions promptly and gave us very good directions to the property. When we arrived the house was very clean and looked just like the pictures. My family always rent places to relax and enjoy time together and we will definitely go back again. I would definitely recommend this house to family and friends.
