New listing: Doodle Acres Cottage: Where Trails, Tails & Good Times Take Off!

Welcome to Doodle Acres Cottage, your perfect Northwoods getaway! Tucked away in the secluded paradise of Marinette County, proudly known as Wisconsin’s Waterfalls Capital, this charming doodle themed, newly remodeled lakeside cabin blends cozy comfort with endless adventure.
Located in the heart of ATV and snowmobile country in Northeastern Wisconsin, this retreat is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts. Ride hundreds of miles of ATV/UTV trails right from the property, and when the snow falls, enjoy the convenience of a snowmobile trail that runs directly through the property.
Inside, the cabin features 3 cozy bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a welcoming electric fireplace perfect for relaxing evenings after a day of exploring. Head to the lower level for friendly competition with foosball, ping pong, board games, puzzles, and your very own bar—a perfect spot for rainy day lounging.
Step outside and enjoy a true Northwoods paradise. Spend your afternoons kayaking on the small semi private fishing lake, hike nearby trails, or explore Marinette County’s iconic waterfalls. As evening settles in, relax in the hot tub (available May through October), savor a beautiful sunset over the water, roast marshmallows by the fire, and finish the night with stargazing under the peaceful Northwoods Sky.
Best of all—Doodle Acres Cottage is dog friendly, so your four-legged family members can join the adventure too.
A stay at Doodle Acres Cottage is more than a getaway—it is a chance to slow down, explore, and create memories in your own secluded slice of the Northwoods.
