Just what we needed…

We enjoyed staying at the cabin. Beautiful view of the lake. Close to all the winter activities we were taking part in. So glad we didn’t have to leave our fur babies at n the care of others.

A Great Cabin in Mercer

Stonewall Cabin West in Mercer was an excellent location to stage our supper club tour in No. WI! The location was easy to find, amenities provided were more than adequate, and the cabin was clean. The location on Portage Lake would make an ideal place for summer water activities. We found the cabin and town very accommodating and pleasant (when stores were open - realizing we visited during off-season). Our host was readily accessible for any questions that came up (but we didn't have any issues). We had a terrific stay and would definitely book again if in the area.

This is our second time staying here. After our cozy stay last year, and the host's kindness and helpful communication, we were set on returning. The cottage has everything you might need and a beautiful spot on the lake. We love the little town of Mercer and surrounding areas!

Quintessential Wisconsin Cabin

Stayed at this charming, cozy cabin for three days. It's a great location right on the lake and close to downtown and many other attractions withing driving distance. Various water crafts are available for your use. We took the canoe out a couple of times and kayaked on one gorgeous morning. My husband tried his hand at fishing but didn't have much luck. The cabin itself is fully stocked with every imaginable item you might need. The owner was extremely prompt in communicating with us and the check-in process was a breeze. We enjoyed the loons singing and diving and even had a deer run across the backyard while having my morning coffee. It was very peaceful and quiet there, which was just what we were looking for. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay! The owners reached out prior to our visit to answer any questions and provide us details on accessing the property. The area was quiet and neighbors were nice. The owners reached out during our visit to make sure we had everything we needed. The property was clean, cozy and comfortable. Great access to the lake and nice yard. Would definitely recommend this cabin and would stay here again!

Great Family Weekend

We had a great stay on Grand Portage Lake. We enjoyed kayaking and a bit of fishing. The cabin is in a great location for bike enthusiasts. It’s not far from the Mercer paved bike trails that connect with Heart of Vilas trails, and also close to WinMan trails for mountain biking. The cabin had many amenities and was just what we were looking for.

Lake Life -Anniversary Get-away

The cabin is exactly as advertised. Dawn and Mitch were exceptional hosts, they answered every question in a moment, and personalized our stay with a sweet card and champagne. We enjoyed the quiet location, wildlife and all the lake life amenties Dawn and Mitch made available to us. We'd give this rental a 10 if vrbo would let us.

Nice hidden one stop shop

My family liked that you could swim, fish, boat, play in the sand box, jump on the four wheeler trail and have a bon fire all in one spot. The owners were excellent making sure we had everything we needed. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed for a true up-north experience. Would recommend this gem to a small family. We will probably stay here again.

5 Stars Plus

If I could rate this beautiful property higher, I would. Very clean and so many extras to make our stay comfortable. The owners thought of everything and their grounds were spotless and beautiful with lovely lakeside. Loons, eagles, fishing, campfire, kayaks, canoe, paddleboard, row boat, beautiful flowers and 1/4th mile from public beach, tennis courts and ball field. Close to town but not too close. Highly recommended. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Marks

Host profile image
We are the Marks Family! After years of looking for a family lake home in the Northwoods, we found Mercer to be the perfect place for family fun, relaxing, fishing, 4 wheeling and snowmobiling. We are close to modern amenities such as a grocery store, a library and great bars and restaurants. Yet, we are secluded in pines on the edge of town. After 10 years of enjoying our lake home, we had the opportunity to purchase our neighbor’s property (Stonewall Hideaway) for our family, friends, and guests to enjoy too. We became grandparents this last year and are fortunate to split our time between Mercer and the Madison area. We hope that you enjoy “The Cabins at Stonewall Hideaway” as much as we do!
