Clean and comfortable

We enjoyed our stay at the BlueGill. Very clean! Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Note the game room is above the detached garage and not usable in the winter unless you warm up the room in advance. We chose the property based on its proximity to Nordic Mountain and used our time to go skiing, so we didn't check out the neighborhood or lake. Would stay again during the same time of year.

About the host

Hosted by Tommer and Heather Catlin

Our family has enjoyed Long Lake since the early 1950s and still today. My wife and I bring our kids up and their friends every summer and winter to enjoy the area and all it has to offer. We purchased this house for extra room for us and while we are not using, you get to!

Why they chose this property

VRBO says "neighborhood" but really you are at Long Lake. Peaceful walks around the lake, not busy roads and super nice people are always around. Long Lake is a true beauty in central wisconsin. Great fishing, amazing water skiing and the blueish green water that cant be beat. Ever season brings beauty the area.

What makes this property unique

The Bluegill Inn is about as close to the lake as you can get with just steps to the public access trail you can use or launch the kayaks included at the public landing right around the corner, bring your boat with plenty of room to park and trailer to any of the awesome lakes in the area. The serene wooded wood lot is peaceful as you sip your adult beverage off the back deck. The game room is a blast! While others may want to get some sleep, the night owls or kids can have some fun playing air hockey, darts, ping pong, pool and or a few putts on the green! The best part is you located not far from anything. Winter skiing at Nordic Mountain, the Chain-o-Lakes, Fremont or our favorite watering hole The Ding on the Pine River just 5 minutes from the house!
