About this property

Spacious 2 Story Waterfront Log Home, New Appliances & Piers, Canoe, 2 Kayaks

Welcome to picturesque serenity in the Northwoods. Our spacious and comfortable two level 2700 sq. ft. log sided home with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms is nestled on 1.5 wooded acres with 150 feet of frontage on the 184 acre Grandfather Flowage in North Central Wisconsin. You'll find us approximately 11 miles South of Tomahawk and 13 miles North of Merrill in the peaceful Town of Rock Falls.

Throughout your stay, you are sure to appreciate our comfortable beds, well outfitted kitchen, carefully thought out decor and many amenities. Inside and out, you will find multiple spaces to enjoy gathering with family and friends.

Gather for meals in the dining area featuring a large rustic dining table for 8 as well as 3 counter stools. Summertime allows for additional seating for 2 in the adjoining screened-in porch.

Gather in the main level family room by the cozy gas fire place for some great conversation or to watch movies on the 65 inch 4K Smart TV. Snuggle up on the comfy leather sectional or recliner with a good book and cozy throw blanket.

During warmer months, gather in the 280 sq. ft. screened in porch we call the Tree House. Located on the main level of the house, this space offers comfortable intimate seating areas surrounded by tree tops. Combine this with views of the waterfront and the sounds of nature and you'll see why this one of our family's favorite spaces. A wonderful place to gather, even on a rainy summer day.

Head downstairs to the lower level to find the reading nook with a large selection of children's books just waiting to be shared with the little ones. Gather at the game table for cards, board games or puzzles. An ample selection is provided for your enjoyment. Grab a comfy spot on the the motorized reclining leather couch or love seat to watch a movie or sporting event on the 70 inch 4K Smart TV with DVD player.

In the warmer months gather in the nicely landscaped outdoor areas. You'll find a lower level patio with table seating for 8-10 with views of the water. A grassy area adjoins this space for yard games.

Venture further down the gradual sloping path to the water where you will find a fire pit and grouping of comfortable Adirondack chairs to enjoy roasting marshmallows, story telling and star gazing.

Adventure awaits those looking to enjoy the water or explore the surrounding area. In Spring, Summer and Fall head out in the Mad River canoe or 2 kayaks to explore ten miles of shoreline. An air compressor is available for those wishing to bring their own inflatables. Fish from the pier or venture out in the non-motorized fishing boat provided. Fish waiting to be caught include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. A public boat landing is located a short distance away for those wishing to bring their own boat.

Less than two miles away, hikers will want to head to the nearby entrance to the Ice Age Trail and take in the exceptionally scenic trail section that includes Grandfather Falls. Grandfather Falls is the highest waterfall on the Wisconsin River with a total drop of 89 feet spread out in a series of cascades over the distance of about a mile. There are some rugged sections of the trail so be prepared with appropriate foot ware and some may wish to bring a hiking stick.

In addition to hiking trails, ATV and snowmobile trails are abundant in the area. For skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts, Granite Peak Ski Resort, located in Rib Mountain State Park near Wausau, is just a 35-40 minute drive. Granite Peak is the third tallest ski area in the Midwest and tallest in Wisconsin.

Fantastic Lake Cabin

This place is gorgeous! The cabin was spacious with lots of room for a family to gather and have fun by the lake. The cabin is right on the river, set in a wooded area. The cabin is beautifully decorated, very clean, and super comfortable. Jackie, the owner, has stocked it with all the necessities one would need. It is perfect for relaxing or outdoor activities. The dock, kayaks, canoe, fire pit, and grill were a plus. Check-in was easy. Jackie was very responsive and quick to respond to our questions. We loved our stay and plan to return in the future. We highly recommend this property.

Perfect R & R

Check in was an absolute breeze. Communication with Jackie was so easy and pleasant. The layout of the home was perfect for our family. Plenty of sleeping/eating area options. The neighborhood is incredibly peaceful. Was the perfect place to decompress. Great memory making, spending time on the water and nightly fireside conversation. Check out was very easy. Not too many requirements to close up the home. Would absolutely rebook/recommend this property any time.

Great Up North Getaway

This is our second time staying at the property. The water amenities are awesome, and are perfect for kids and adults alike. The house is in great shape, with plenty of space for 3 families. Would recommend this for anyone looking for a northern wisconsin getaway without needing to drive too far.

Family Time in Tomahawk

The beautiful property and welcoming decor of the house was a great place for making memories as a family. Life happens when a summer storm blows by and the electricity goes off. The generator turned on right away and communication from the host was immediate, which was appreciated. A great kitchen was a venue for much cooking. Enjoyed our stay.

Exceptional property

This was a great property and amenities. The cleanest property we have stayed at. Many different areas to the house and grounds to relax in, all with different aspects. We loved sitting in the dock chairs having morning coffee. The screened in porch area, called the Treehouse, was quiet and is a great spot to sit if there is a rain shower. Loved having access to kayaks and canoe as part of the rental. Used them daily. Great hosts as well! Looking forward to going back!!

We just returned from our stay here yesterday, it was absolutely wonderful! This home is beautiful, very clean and has everything you need. The quality of things from dishes to bath towels was top notch. Loved sitting in the tree room for our morning coffee and a few of the mornings we were able to watch a mama and her two baby deer! We also loved being right on the water! Our husbands did alot of fishing. Contact with the property manager Jackie was great, too - she even recommended a restaurant nearby that we visited and the food was great! Would not hesitate to return!

Relaxing Stay with all the amenities of home, but better

The home is gorgeous! Jackie had everything we needed on hand. We loved fishing from the dock. We didn’t catch much there, but did land a walleye, smallmouth, and a dogfish. We actually caught a few crayfish on a worm with a bobber down there. (caught a Muskie, smallie, and a load of panfish for dinner on Lake Alice) Great to have games for the kids and we really enjoyed time out on the screened in patio. Spotted a doe with two fawns who visited each morning. Jebs fish fry (less than two miles away) was perfect. We also really enjoyed Castaways on the river in Tomahawk. Great location, helpful and friendly host, beautiful home! Would definitely recommend!

Just as good second time around

We stayed here last year and loved it so much, we came back this year (a first for us). The house is lovely, everything down to the measuring spoons is of high quality, and you cannot beat the screened-in porch for relaxing among the trees—even in the rain. New dock with built-in chairs, table and umbrella was a great addition, along with a king and queen bed replacing former queen and twin beds. Highly recommend!

Great up North getaway

We fit our family of 7 comfortably for our 5 day stay in this spacious property. The beds and pull were all very comfortable. Sheets and towels all smelled fresh and clean. The kitchen is stocked with all the cooking supplies you could need. Screened in porch was a great escape to relax without any bugs. But bugs weren’t a huge issue as the owners have the property sprayed. Our kids loved the kayaks, canoe and boat. Owners have several life jackets and vests of all size available. They have pretty much thought of everything for their guests. Would highly recommend for families.

Beautiful home and property

Our family group of 6 adults and 3 children all enjoyed this beautiful well-appointed home and grounds for our vacation week up north. We were all so comfortable no matter where we were on the property. There was room to spread out or be together inside and out. Every single bed was comfortable with lovely bedding and pillows. The kitchen is so well thought out and stocked with quality dishes, cookware, utensils, spices, and more. The towels throughout the home are lovely. We enjoyed the screened-in porch very much. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay carefree and relaxing. There was a storm where the power went out for hours and their whole house generator kicked in which was so nice. Our family appreciated and enjoyed using the kayaks, canoe, and rowboat and also sitting around the campfire comfortably. Our grandchildren enjoyed finding frogs that came out towards evening. The host, Jackie, was lovely to communicate with and very helpful.

Best rental in 15 years

We’ve been renting vacation homes for 15 years, and this was the very best. That’s not to say others weren’t excellent, but this one outranked them all on many levels: - Spotlessly clean - Row boat, kayaks and canoe provided - Beautiful grounds - Indoor and outdoor games - Screened-in porch was so lovely to sit in on cool evenings - SO well appointed. They thought of everything. - Beautiful, comfortable furniture and decor - Enough comfortable seating for 5 adults and more. I can’t stress how difficult that is to come by. Some places sleep 8, but have only a couch and a chair in the living space. - Communication with host was easy and helpful. - HIGHLY recommend.

Family Vacation

Plenty of space for downtime for all 9 of us, many places to relax. The screened in porch at the level of the trees was a favorite. We really enjoyed the use of the kayaks, rowboat and canoe. The kitchen was so well stocked with spices, and all the kitchen tools one needs for cooking. The decorative touches in the home added to the feeling of vacation mode. Our host communicated promptly to any questions we had.

Excellent in every way!

We stayed here for a full week to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our children & grandchildren. There were plenty of comfortable beds and 3 bathrooms! The property was attractive, comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed being together, but having 2 levels of the home & the great outdoor area near the water also gave us space apart if desired. Hosts were very responsive and I would gladly stay here again in the future & I highly recommend it.

Relaxation plus

This cabin was the best place to relax! It was very clean and spacious, also well decorated and filled with everything you need. The treehouse, as another guest called it, was my favorite spot. It is the screened in porch, but on the second floor/main floor, so you feel like you are in the trees. The dogs enjoyed it too! Our guests enjoyed it as much as we did. The owners thought of everything, it is well supplied with life jackets, even for the dogs. The river is beautiful, especially in the morning. Kayaking and swimming were very enjoyable. It is conveniently located between Merrill and Tomahawk. We seriously enjoyed ourselves and hope to return soon. Thank you Jackie and Jim!

About the host

Hosted by Jacalyn Brown

Host profile image
As life-long residents of Southeastern Wisconsin, our family has been vacationing in Northern WI for 3 generations. We've enjoyed camping and resorting but our best times have been spent in the course of renting VRBO properties, many times shared with out of state family. We are happy to have recently acquired a property of our own to share with others. We have tried to re-create the best aspects of VRBO homes we have had the pleasure to rent and wish wholeheartedly to provide our guests with a relaxing and memorable visit to our peaceful piece of the Northwoods.

Why they chose this property

This property has everything we were looking for. Beautifully landscaped wooded waterfront 1.5 acre lot on a peaceful no-through road. Gradual slope to 150 feet of frontage. Remote yet not too far of a drive for groceries and restaurants. Located mid-state so easy travel to and from larger cities. Lots of trails nearby for ATV and Snowmobiles, 40 minutes to Granite Peak for skiing, close to public hunting land.

What makes this property unique

Whole house back up generator, tankless water heater, AC, Wifi, row boat for fishing, kayaks, attached 2 car garage, washer and dryer, Weber gas grill, awesome screened in porch with views of the water.
