About this property

Welcome To The Nut House On Sunfish Lake! Come For The Relaxation Or Adventure!

Put your feet up in our relaxing 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom family cabin. The master has a king size bed, ensuite, and walk-in closet, while the other two bedrooms feature queen size beds, dressers, and closets for your use. You will find the kitchen fully equipped with pots and pans, cooking utensils, and a gas range. A dishwasher offers convenient clean up. No need to worry if you get dirty playing outside, there is a washer and dryer. Wi-fi and Direct TV IS available (May-October), but you don’t have to tell the kids. Central air will keep everyone cool on those hot summer days.

Enjoy a morning cup of coffee on the front deck as the sun rises, then an evening cocktail on the rear deck as you watch a picturesque sunset over the lake. You will find a large level yard for hours of outdoor games and family fun. Steps lead you down to the lake where the dock is in from May until October. Spend a peaceful afternoon fishing, or sit in your yard chair watching the kids splash and swim in the lake. In the evening you can enjoy a crackling fire as you listen for the call of the resident loons. There is a public boat launch about ¼ of a mile from the cabin.

When you don’t want to cook, there are many area restaurants catering to everyone’s tastes, from Friday night fish fry’s or pizza, to great grilled burgers and ribs. You can find adventure on the nearby ATV/snowmobile trails or relax on the beautiful golf courses. There truly is something for everyone. A short 10 minute drive will lead you to go kart racing and mini-golf, scenic northern Wisconsin train rides, canoeing and tubing down the Namekagon river, or small town shopping. Venture a little further to find activities such as hiking the north shore near a waterfall or horseback riding. Snowshoeing and hiking at the cabin await you if you prefer to stay close. Throughout the year there are several area festivals and activities to enjoy. In July you will find excitement at the Spooner Rodeo and parade. In August you can cheer on the lumberjacks as they compete at the Jack Pine Savage Days. February brings the world renowned cross country ski race, the Birkibeiner. A short drive north you will find the Grandma’s Marathon in June, and the Whistlestop Marathon in October. No matter the season there is always something to do.

Unpack and stay a while, we know you will enjoy the Nut House on Sunfish Lake!

A great place to stay up north…

This is our second time staying here and we love it. It is located on a small lake that has everything you may need…good fishing, swimming, a nice large yard and a nice fire pit. The cabin is clean and is well stocked with things to do such as board games, movies, and video games along with everything else that you may need during your stay. The bedrooms were large enough and comfortable. Overall we had a great, relaxing stay and look forward to coming back.

50th Anniversary

The property is very nice. Parking is good, access to the house is good.It’s nice being close to the lake. Having a place to have a camp fire is unique. ( Even though we didn’t use it, it was there if we wanted to) The cabin is very nice, as well. Very spacious and it met the needs we had for the time we spent there. Would We come back.. Yes

Northwoods Autumn Vacation

The house is situated in a quiet wooded area. The lake roads are great for long walks The house is comfortable and warm with a well stocked kitchen and a washer and dryer. Spooner is nearby and Rice Lake has Lehman's, a good supper club. We enjoyed our week in the woods!

Pleasant stay at the cabin

Wasn't much snow for us, so we spent a fair amount of time indoors. Lots to do around the house - including an impressive collection of radio dramas - as well as nearby in Spooner and Hayward, as well as a handful of trails. Lake was frozen enough to walk on. Best part was the peace and quiet.

Wonderful cabin!

Once again our state was fantastic. The cabin is always so clean and stocked with many items if you happen to forget something. The owner always responds right away to any questions you might have. It's our second time staying and we are sure to go back again! The boat needs a little work is all!

Fall and loons

The house was perfect for me and I hope to return with my husband after covid. I love having 2 living room areas, nice kitchen and dining area plus a walk in shower in master bath❣️My 3 year old Scottie was along and we had some good walks. I like that there’s a nice yard too plus table on the deck. Neighbor to left is kinda close but no one was around in October. Owners were great to work with and I am so happy I found this property on Vrbo.

Very roomy and comfortable.

Nice 3 bedroom with plenty of room for the 5 adults we had. Was nice to the have 2nd full bath as well. Quiet location on a smaller but quiet lake. We pretty much had the lake to ourselves. No jet ski's or power boats. We were able to rent a pontoon from the owners as well. Very basic pontoon but fit our needs just fine. Owners supplied a tube for pulling as well so we enjoyed that. We had a couple of questions when we got there but the owner responded quickly with the info we were looking for. Nice to have the wifi and satellite as well.

Not Spectacular but Very Solid Value

Pros: Great lot with large play area, nice lake access, crystal clear 60 acre quiet lake with excellent fishing for panfish and largemouth bass. Dated but nice ranch home with spacious common areas and smaller bedrooms. Cons: Small lake may be a downer for those into recreational activities like boating, tubing, etc. Mattresses in rooms worn out and somewhat uncomfortable. Not much of a sandy area or beach for swimming.

Memorial Day visit

This was my husband's first stay. . . I checked it out last October. . . he loved it. Very comfortable: two bathrooms, one with walk in shower, TV in living room a long way from master bedroom so he could watch late night TV, everything on one level, I love the "lake room" . Rob was very helpful with an internet glitch and responded right away. There were lots of loons calling for my delight. Good smaller and quiet blacktop road to walk our dog. Kitchen well stocked with utensils. All in all a wonderful stay and looking forward to a return visit.

Time for up north serenity

Just had my 3rd visit: this time with Adventure Bridge girlfriends. Absolutely perfect. They loved it. Plenty of space and appreciate that walk in shower! Spent time on lakeside deck playing cards, reading and just soaking it in. Loons called often to my personal fulfillment. Very quiet as neighbors to south were not there. . . not that they are noisy , but it was just soooo serene. I am booking again for next summer for this group and also myself and hubby and our doggy again. Thanks for sharing your property with us. btw: recommend: Round Man Brewery in Spooner and Pine Creek Farm (farm to table) east of Spooner. We also had a great pizza meal at Lipsie Lake Inn.

Recommended Rental!

Classmates and I came for a working weekend and found the cabin to be very well-maintained and as described. This is a lovely family cabin with every homey touch imaginable. If you want to stay in a place that feels lived-in and comfortable, this is the place for you! The kitchen was well stocked and 2 of us who cook often enjoyed cooking dinners there. Extra beds are single rollaways which I didn't realize when we booked the place but that worked out just fine for our group. The afternoon sun got very hot here and the bedrooms got too stuffy for afternoon naps but the wall AC kept the main living areas comfortable. Tons of windows, great cross breezes, and a beautiful property overall. FYI that there are neighbors on either side, and on one side, there is no barrier between the houses for privacy. We spent evenings on the back deck enjoying the sunsets- the loons are AMAZING to listen to every night!! The owner was 100% responsive and accommodating. Spooner is not far and a highly recommended vacation spot in WI. We also grabbed Friday Fish Fry at the nearby Twin Oaks Bar & Restaurant. The food was amazing and service was extremely friendly and welcoming. As the first renters to visit the cabin, I think the owners did a great job and I highly recommend it to others! The only reason this isn't 5-stars is that there was an apparent miscommunication between the owner/realtor and a realtor showed up and started entering the property while we were all inside, despite us being reassured that it wouldn't happen. I let the owner know what happened and he was very apologetic; it's not something I would worry about happening again. Overall, it was great for our group and I would highly recommend the Nut House for a fun, comfy getaway spot!
