Beautiful Lakefront Cabin on PRIVATE Mercer Lake! Endless 4 Season Fun!


***If you're interested in a stay of less than 7 days, please send us an inquiry. Due to county laws requiring a minimum stay of 7 nights, the full week will need to be booked. However, we can adjust your rate to only charge you for the days you plan to stay.

We are once again offering our home for rent on Mercer Lake a short ten minutes from Minocqua. With no public boat access, there is minimal lake traffic, excellent fishing and abundant wildlife, including loons and eagles. Experience arguably the best North Woods fishing on our Class-A Musky and Walleye lake with very low fishing pressure. Other abundant fish species include Smallmouth bass, Pike, Crappy, Perch, Bluegill and other panfish. We have added a downstairs suite and additional sleeping area, bathroom, living area and mini-kitchen. 2 double kayaks, a single person kayak and 2 paddleboards are included with the rental during your stay. We recently expanded our dock to provide more space to enjoy the views or watch your kiddos swim! A few steps away there is a beautiful lakeside fire pit.

INSIDE The HOUSE...Top to bottom, the dormer loft has five single beds divided into two separate bedrooms. (3-2) plus a half bath. The open concept main floor has a field stone fireplace at one end and a newly remodeled kitchen at the other. Here there are all the kitchen amenities we could think of. There are two main floor bedrooms both with queens along with the full bath.
The downstairs space includes another queen bed, the mini kitchen and seating area TV and an attractive gas stove. Enjoy the Pacman arcade game, dart board, board games and DVD library on rainy days or evenings spent inside. The sight lines from both levels are remarkable onto the lake only a steps away.

The State land beyond is the scenic backdrop. Whether you like snowmobiling, ATV'ing, ice fishing, cross-country skiing or snow shoeing, this location is ideal for snow lovers with direct access to thousands of miles of marked and groomed snowmobile trails right from the property. This beautiful setting on Mercer Lake is only ten minutes from Minocqua with all nearby attractions yet feels remote and special.


*We do have Wifi but due to the "Northwoods nature" it can be very spotty at times

*Please note that our outside deck is scheduled for painting in the summer of 2024. We have stripped the old paint off in preparation. There are no issues with the deck but it is now bare wood until the painting is complete.

Family Vacation
This was our second year staying here. Did not disappoint! Plenty of room for our family. Will definitely stay again. We love the property and the area. Having the new boat rental was an awesome upgrade and our family made great memories tubing and fishing and getting out on the lake. The house really has everything you’d need and more. The owners are quick to respond with the few questions we had and that was really appreciated.

Peaceful Retreat
This was such a wonderful place for our adult family retreat! The cabin is cozy and beautiful! The setting was peaceful and serene, but yet close to town. The six of us totally enjoyed our time there! The changing leaves were breathtaking and the weather was perfect! We rented the owner's pontoon and fished around the lake as well as off the pier. The fishing was great and we even caught some nice bass off the pier. We had a wonderful time making great memories, and if we ever make it back up to northern Wisconsin, we would totally stay here again!

Buyer Beware!
Do not believe the pictures you see for this listing! This property looks nothing like the nice clean uncluttered home pictured. I imagine these pics were from the real estate listing of this property before the current owners moved in. The outdoor spaces were dirty and cluttered with junk. The boats/kayaks were unkempt and unlicensed. No life vests were provided. The upstairs toilet was broken. The downstairs bathroom toilet leaks. The kitchen island cabinet door was broken. The kitchen cabinets were so full with the owners stuff, there was no place for our food. We spent the first day cleaning and organizing just so we could move in. No room in the closets for our clothes. Picked up a blanket and Cheerios fell out onto the floor. After 3 days we noticed a small sign affixed to the side of the refrigerator detailing what precautions you should take concerning the water supply. Would have been helpful info to have ahead of our stay! The only positive is that the beach area is easily accessible and not steep. Not so with the dock, pretty rickety. The idea that you had to contact them within 12 hours of check-in with any problems is a joke. Although we did contact them upon arrival, their initial response was for us to just leave because they didn't want a negative review. As we were over 1400 miles from home and had family in route we decided to stay.! Madeline did respond with a new coffeemaker and wine opener as well as a bottle of wine! Beware!!!!

Peaceful lake cabin
The cabin was right on the lake, with lovely views. The dock was large and many of us could sit on it at once. We were able to swim in the lake right off the dock. The rowboat was old and heavy but still quite useable. It was great to have the use of 2 paddleboards. There was one small kayak too. All 8 of us were able to eat meals together. There were lots of spices and staples around to use; and, plenty of dishes, glasses, and cookware. The grandparents had the use of the downstairs suite. Very nice! The kids were able to use the small bedrooms on the top floor. They liked that. One suggestion - label the light switches. They were not obvious to any of us.

Our week at “Spiel Haus”
We thoroughly enjoyed our week up North at this property. There was plenty of room(for both playing and sleeping) for our family group of 9. With the pontoon boat, the kayak, the 2 stand-up boards, the fire pit, the deck and the beautiful lake we found ourselves quite satisfied with the amenities and available activities. Great opportunity for music-making, biking, walking and yoga. Thanks Madeline, for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Peaceful and relaxing. Lots of wildlife....deer, eagles, loons. House was well equipped and functional. Great outdoor spaces from the deck to yard to dock and the lakeside firepit was a great way to end each day. Only suggestion would be a picnic table of some sort. Thanks for offering your home.

Great private space
We stayed up at Mercer Lake for a long weekend. This house has a wonderful view and is actually much closer to town than it looks on a map (only 2 1/2 miles to 70 and another 5 miles to 51 or so and you are at the edge of town) The house has two great open spaces (upstairs and downstairs) as well as great decks and fire pits/fireplaces. The only thing that might surprise guests is the 4th and 5th bedrooms (5 twin beds) have low ceilings - definitely better for petite people/children. Madeline was very responsive and everything went smoothly. We would definitely stay here again. 🙏🏽
