Watch the sunrise over the water from the wrap-around deck or two private piers. Be sure to gaze up at night at the zillions of stars blanketing the sky. You may even get to experience the northern lights if you’re lucky! Also, we are pet-friendly as long as your pup is well-behaved :)
Our home is located on 2+ acres of wooded land and is nestled under towering birches and pines directly on the Manitowish waters 10-lake chain with over 540’ of running shoreline on a private bay between Manitowish Lake and Alder Lake. Directly across the bay is pristine national forest land.

*please note: pets are welcome but it is an additional $100 charge as it requires extra cleaning and is still a reasonable price compared to boarding. In addition, we ask that you please dry off and clean the paws of your pup before entering the home or we may have to stop allowing our furry friends at the home!*
On the first floor is a well-equipped kitchen with cooktop island, dishwasher, and dining area. This opens to the family room with knotty pine walls, gas cast iron fireplace, cathedral ceiling, sliding door and an additional bay of windows to view the relaxing water view or the woods. There is also a “game room” on the first floor with comfy chairs and a game table. This is a perfect room to catch up on work while sitting at the desk, or curl up in a chair and read a book as the natural light from the three walls of large windows floods the room.
There are two bedrooms on the first floor. The master bedroom with king bed faces the lake and has a sliding door leading to the deck. There is a walk-in closet and full bath with shower and a soaking bathtub. The second bedroom has a queen size bed, large closet and is close to the second full bathroom.

Everything was just as stated in the listing. very spacious, clean, well equipped and nestled in the woods. we were there for snowmobiling and the driveway had plenty of space for parking. Could use a small salt bucket to keep ice off the front stairs.
Other than the weather, we had a great time. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need to enjoy your vacation. The home is close to the water on level ground and in a nice location. Collin is a great host, and responded quickly to any questions we had.
Great location! Nice spacing between lake homes.Very roomy for 6 people and dogs, kitchen had everything we needed. Excellent communication with host. Nice water views.
First time staying here. Everything was as you see in the photos,Colin was excellent to work with and very responsive. We had 10 guys stay there for our annual fishing trip.Plenty of room.7 beds in the loft but we put cots in the main bedroom and game room to spread out. Very secluded and a good location to get around the chain of lakes. We are talking about booking it again next year.Thanks Colin
Everything was as expected per the listing with the exception of the gas stove in living room which was not working. Check in was easy and the house had everything you could need.
This property was the rental highlight of our summer. Great spaces, perfect idyllic location, lovely touches throughout that makes you feel welcome in their home. We did not need for a thing, and we’d stay there again, no doubt. Collin was prompt in response to questions and kindly checked on us twice via text. Thanks for a perfect getaway weekend!
My son and friends took me for a long weekend of fishing. My niece came up also to finalize her wedding at Camp Jorn. The location of the house makes getting around the chain an easy task.
We stayed here to ride snowmobiles around the Northwoods. The trail is quite a ways from the house, and we were not sure of where the lake took you nor if it was thick enough. But we did see sleds ride by the house. The house in general was really great. Plenty of room, excellent communication with property owner. It would be a great place all year round to get away from life.
Wonderful home and setting. We truly loved our time there.
