Romantic Northwoods Private Lakeside Suite On Deer Lake in Northern Wisconsin

Are you looking for a romantic getaway? Do you want to be off the beaten path and have a beautiful, peaceful place nestled in the tall pines on a lovely lakeshore of Northern Wisconsin but still have easy, paved access to the highway? Visit us!

We are family owned and operated and have been in the accommodations business since 1990, beginning with our 6 tourist cabins near Denali National Park in Alaska, where we built our first home.

We were raised in Central and Northern Wisconsin. We know how to treat our guests and provide what you are looking for to have the perfect "getaway." Our lake is crystal clear with sandy beaches and excellent fishing.

This is a "mother-in-law" SUITE or STUDIO above our attached garage, with your own private outdoor stairway entry, private bath with shower/sink/toilet, 1 Queen bed and a kitchenette, dining area, kitchen table and 2 chairs, peninsula with 2 stools, and an upholstered bench and antique rocker to sit on. Numerous outdoor seating and table options. It has most everything that you will need. We provide the towels and linens!

You must be able to climb a rather steep stairway to your entrance.

Lake Size: 156 Acres. Maximum Depth 62 feet. Natural spring fed lake which is part of the Rice River Reservoir, connected by a channel. 3 miles of shoreline.

Lake Notes: Specializing in Northern Pike, Muskie and Bluegill. Walleye, Large & Smallmouth Bass and panfish are also numerous. We are on a chain of lakes. Deer Lake connects to Bridge Lake & Lake Nokomis (The Rice River Reservoir) via a channel which is navigable only through the early part of the season. After that, the water level in the channel may be too low to get through with a motor. Usually, we can still kayak through.

There is a resident LOON PAIR on Deer Lake from April to October. This year, they hatched 2 chicks on June 9th. Their last chick was in 2020 so we are very protective of them and watch them closely. You MUST give them 200 feet of space at all times if you are in a boat or on the water. Do NOT use LEAD fishing tackle of any kind! LEAD KILLS loons and other wildlife that consume it. They die a horrible death within a couple weeks if they ingest even one lead sinker or a small lead jig. Our loon pair returns each year and it takes BOTH parents to successfully sit on the nest for 28 days and then raise the 1-2 chicks until they fledge at 12 weeks. Shirley is the lake's volunteer loon ranger under Loon Watch out of Ashland. Our loons are color banded on both legs and part of the Loon Project Study of WI and MN. They are closely monitored by Shirley and she submits annual records. The residents of Deer lake love their resident loons and are very protective of them.

If you are planning on bringing your own boat, PLEASE LET US KNOW so that we can provide dock space. Please ask us about the water level if it is important to you to get thru the channel.

We have 1-person kayaks and a 2-person canoe available for your free use along with some life jackets. It is best to bring your own life jackets. Swimming, canoeing and kayaking are at your own risk. You will be asked to sign a recreational liability waiver before arrival. Please hand this in at check in.

We do not allow usage of any motorized boats that we may own.

There is a nearby private boat ramp on the lake that you may use and a couple public ones on Lake Nokomis.

We live in the private main house year round and will usually be on property.

No public transportation is available. You will need to have your own vehicle or motorcycle.
If you bring a motorcycle or two, let us know in advance and ask if there will be garage space available to park inside.

We encourage you to walk around our 7 acres. You will hear and see wildlife and birds to view and photograph.

You are welcome to be outside on the property grounds. The grounds and the suite are for your use.

The main house and garages are private.

You can use all outdoor tables, chairs, fire pit, kayaks up on the kayak stand, canoe, Weber gas grill, dock, deck, and patios.

Walk around the property! Please feel at home here!

You may interact with us as much or as little as you prefer. We respect your privacy and allow you to have the vacation that you deserve and want. One of us is usually here or available by Text or phone.
