Cozy lakefront cottage with modern comforts. Kayaking, Swimming, & Great Fishing

Welcome to fun and relaxation at the lake all year round! Perfect for family and friends.

SUMMER:
This vacation home is idyllic to bring your family to go fishing, swimming, play games, watch sunsets and make memories. The cottage comes with a dock to tie your boat, and is close by to a boat launch. No boat? No problem! You can rent a boat at American Marine. The land is flat from the house to the water. The water is quite shallow towards the end of the dock, perfect for children to swim in or to sit in with a chair with a cold beverage. We also have two adult kayaks, two kids kayaks (up to 130lbs), a water mat, and two paddleboards for your use. Lawn games are available for shoreside fun! New whole house air conditioning and individual window AC units (for 2 or 3 bedrooms) will be arriving in Spring 2025, just in time to keep you cool for the summer.

FALL:
Enjoy the stunning fall leaves changing while warming up to a campfire, or going on ATV adventures. Packer fans - we're just a 30-minute drive from Lambeau Field. The dock cannot be guaranteed between October 13 until late spring.

WINTER:
Live in a winter wonderland with ice fishing, snowmobiling, crafting/quilting and loving the view of freshly fallen snow. Multiple Indoor electric fireplaces will keep you cozy on cold nights. Shawano Lake is known for its ice fishing. Fish on the lake include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye and Sturgeon. Christmas lovers - the halls are decked out for your holiday!

SPRING:
Embrace the emergence of nature by listening/watching the birds, kayaking, paddle boarding, and enjoying bonfires.

YEAR-ROUND:
Enjoy board games/books for all age groups as well as a dartboard. Located on the south side of Shawano Lake, several grocery stores, restaurants, breweries, casinos, golf courses, ATV/snowmobile trails, bowling and shopping areas are just a short few minutes away. Indoor electric fireplaces and an outdoor fire pit will keep you cozy any day of the week.
