This enchanting retreat offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and modern comforts, providing an idyllic escape for those seeking tranquility and outdoor adventure. The small, peaceful lake (with no boat launch) ensures a serene environment, making it an ideal spot for swimming, which is great right off the dock.
The custom-built home, crafted by the property owners with trees sourced directly from the property, exudes rustic charm and warmth. The lawn, adorned with clover, adds to the enchanting feel of the property.

Whether you prefer sitting on the dock enjoying the peaceful surroundings or taking a refreshing dip, the lake offers endless enjoyment.
The cottage features a semi-wrap-around deck, perfect for afternoon appetizers and relaxation. A well-equipped BBQ area and a picturesque yellow porch swing add to the outdoor charm. On the other side of the porch, a large screened-in sunroom awaits, providing a cozy space to dine at a custom-built table made from property-sourced trees or relax on the futon under the stars. Just outside the sunroom, a firepit offers the perfect ending to a fun-filled day, where you can gather around and share stories or simply enjoy the warmth of the fire.
Indoors, the cottage is designed with comfort in mind. The sunroom can be accessed from the front door or the open-concept family room, living room, and dining area. The ambiance of the wood stove creates a cozy atmosphere, perfect for unwinding on the sofa while enjoying the lake views. Even if you choose to dine indoors, the scenic views of Oconto Lake are never far away. The property owner is crafting another custom table for the dining area, promising more updates and enhancements to come.
The main floor also features a convenient 2-piece bathroom with a stacked washer/dryer, ideal for quick laundry needs during your stay.

Dock is typically installed in May and removed in early November, water levels permitting. It is unhooked from the shoreline and left to freeze a few feet off shore. During the winter it makes a convenient platform for donning winter equipment once the ice has frozen safely.
Rentals include a cleaning service; however, the cottage must be left in a tidy condition
