About the host
Hosted by Tammy Waterhouse
Owner Tammy Waterhouse lives in Chetek, WI. Tammy and her late husband spent many summers at their home in Kodiak, Alaska fishing halibut and salmon and hunting moose and sheep in British Columbia, Canada. Tammy is a business owner, special education teacher and a private pilot. Both Tammy and her husband loved spending as much time as they could in northern Wisconsin relaxing by the lake, hiking, hunting for waterfalls, and fishing.

Why they chose this property
Tammy and Gary were inspired to purchase this property as it is located in such a pristine untouched part of Northern Wisconsin. Tammy's late father, Rollie Bessett, founder and former owner of Rollie and Helen's Musky Shop in Minocqua, WI spent many years in this area near the Gile Flowage where he retired. Iron County is an outdoor lovers paradise. We are excited to share the Northwoods experience with you from our home.
What makes this property unique
This is the log home up north everyone dreams of!!! This fully furnished home can be used as a place to relax, a romantic getaway, family gatherings, a place for friends to get together, special events, or for recreations such as viewing breathtaking waterfalls, fishing trips, kayaking, biking, hiking, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, ATVing, and snowmobiling. The lodge is in the heart of Iron County snow country where guests can access 500 miles of snowmobile trails (250 miles of ATV trails) leaving right from the driveway. The upper two levels of the home have breathtaking views of a beautiful clear pristine lake. Enjoy the scenery and wildlife with a cup of coffee on the large deck or snuggled in front of one of three fireplaces. This is a very private tranquil setting, a place where you can get away from the hectic everyday life and truly relax and enjoy life's simple pleasures. Guests will want to come back to experience what each season has to offer up here. It's an amazing place!!!
