Rustic-Modern 1BR Lakeside Cottage for up to 5.

Relax in our 600 sq ft remodeled cabin in the Indian head region of Northern Wisconsin. This rustic-modern cabin has a 15' x 23' foot great room with a 15' ceiling and lots of windows overlooking Axehandle Lake. The kitchen is equipped with a full-sized stove, refrigerator, and microwave hood, and fully stocked kitchen ware. The quaint 12' x 14' bedroom has a queen sized bed, along with a twin over full bunk bed that can accommodate up to 5 individuals. The bathroom has a 36" shower, vintage sink vanity, and washer and dryer. If you enjoy an architectural look, with high ceilings, a mixture of oak and galvanized metal siding, and fresh white trim, then this is the place for you. The best part of the cottage is the 9' x 14' screened porch to enjoy the outdoors, listening to the wind whistling in the tall pine trees and looking over the lake below. AC has been added for cooling on those hot days as well!

Non-motorized boats are available (canoe, 2 kayaks, and row boat) to explore the 86 acre lake that is clear and great for fishing or swimming. Life jackets and paddles/oars are provided. Or just sit down on the new dock and fish off shore if you prefer using our vintage aluminum, webbed lawn chairs. In the evening relax by the fire pit, roasting s'mores, or inside playing games, watching movies (flat-screen Google TV with limited channels, DVD, and ability to link to your streaming services) or doing puzzles for a remote but relaxing vacation away from the everyday grind. Wifi is available. Note, we have it furnished and decorated as our vacation get-a-way, so not just the bare rental minimums you might find elsewhere! We are happy to share our family retreat with you. Note - no smoking allowed!

We absolutely loved our time at this cozy cottage in the woods. We spent most our time outdoors - it’s the perfect setting for kayaking, paddle boarding, camp fires and simply relaxing by the water. The cottage is very clean, well-appointed, and exactly as the listing describes.

Beautiful cabin stay

My daughter and I had the best time here. Very comfortable cabin with great amenities. The lake was just steps away. Communication was fantastic. Very clean and fully stocked. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and sunning on the dock. Great days spent slowing down and making memories. Thanks again for opening up your family lake house for others to enjoy.
