About this property

Classic Wisconsin Up-North cottage on the premier Manitowish Chain of Lakes

Welcome to our beautifully renovated lakeside cottage on the renowned Manitowish Chain of 10 Lakes — one of the most stunning waterways in Wisconsin's Northwoods.

This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat sits on a picturesque point with 500 feet of private frontage on Island Lake. Fully updated in 2018, the cottage features new flooring, windows, a renovated bathroom, and a cozy, classic, but elevated up-north Wisconsin feel.

The space
Step outside to your own private pier and swimming raft, or relax on the deck by the gas fire pit while watching eagles nest on the island across the water. Inside, the cozy living room features a wood-burning fireplace — perfect for cool Northwoods evenings. The spacious three-season porch is a guest favorite for morning coffee with a lake view.

Sleeping arrangements are flexible and can accommodate groups of all sizes. The first bedroom offers a king bed and two twin beds, while the second bedroom has a king bed and a twin. Both king beds can be converted to extra-long twins on request. A queen futon on the porch provides additional sleeping space.

Layout: 1,200 sq. ft. with a generous kitchen and dining area (27x14), a comfortable living room (19x17), and a bright three-season porch (10x19).

Location: Conveniently located just one mile off Hwy 51, with gas, groceries, and a bait shop less than two miles away. We're 8 miles south of Manitowish Waters and 24 miles north of Minocqua. Explore the chain by boat — there are waterfront restaurants and a full-service marina for fuel, bait, snacks, and lunch right on the water.
