Great Place!
Beautiful cabin, great communication with property manager. Kitchen would have pretty much anything you needed. Note that it’s limited as far as handicap accessibility as none of the bedrooms are on the main floor and would not be an easy path down to the boat dock. Plenty of space for lots of guests! I would stay here again. Very clean and well maintained.

Cozy cabin with incredible lake view
This cabin was very beautiful, clean, and well-kept. Everything we needed was available. Views of the lake were incredible from all over the property. The kids really enjoyed driving the pedal boat across the lake. The location is nearby biking and hiking trails, which our family also enjoyed. Thank you for offering your property for our vacation. It was a wonderful family experience, we would stay again.

Beautiful log home on the water
This lake house was perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen had everything that we needed. The bathrooms were nice size with plenty of towels. The location was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed watching the loons on the lake from the deck as well as the pontoon boat.

An idyll
This house and environment was totally perfect. The cabin was exceptionally clean and welcoming, and the private lake full of mystery and enchantment. Our first night we spent an hour and a half watching Perseids shoot through the Northern Lights. We saw loons, eagles, herons, song birds, and lovely flora, and we heard wolf packs two nights in a row. Everything was perfect. Thank you so so so much!

week away
It was a beautiful house and week with family. The pontoon was not working for the week so we were unable to get out on the lake as a family. John did send the grandma and grandson to try and fix the boat but they were unable to. Eventually we borrowed a small fishing boat.

Log Cabin in the woods
Our stay at John’s place was absolutely perfect! A beautiful quiet spot overlooking the lake. The property was clean, spacious, comfortable, and well stocked. We had everything we needed!

Lovely secluded get-away
Just what we needed for a peaceful few days in the woods. The cabin is spacious, comfortable and spotless. The deck overlooking the lake was the perfect place to drink our morning coffee or relax over dinner in the evening. It is completely enclosed, so our dog loved being out there with us, too! John is a great host, leaving us wanting for nothing! Highly recommend!

Perfect Getaway
Last week of June 2022. The property itself is tucked in a great location with private access to nice calm and quiet lake. Complementary paddle boat and kayaks were perfect for this location. Although a motorboat is available for an extra fee, you really wont need it. Evenings and nights were quiet and peaceful. The home/cabin is BIG and very well domesticated. You almost wont need to bring anything. On your way in, make a stop at Snow's Market for basic provisions and you're good to go for as long as you stay. Access to ATV/UTV trails is right off the main road near the cabin. We made trips to town for supplies or lunch on our ATVs. Expect some ATV-route hops to transition between trails. Also, the local maps aren't very detailed and are not up to date. We ran into so closed routes/trails sections and had to GPS our way around a bit. We also didn't get to truly explore that VAST network of trails because there just wasn't enough time, but as I mentioned, it is VAST. If you don't feel like cooking, there is a local eatery down the street, which was pretty good for the area: Cranberry Inn. As for the town of Mercer itself: keep your expectations on the lower-side, and be ready to adjust as you go. The people there are pleasant and very welcoming. However, you can tell everyone operates on some kind of season-driven schedule. The problem is, you can't tell when anyone is "in season." The trails are for ATV/UTVs, but they are also for Snowmobiles. So you really don't know when any of these places are hoppin' and at what time of the year. Many local businesses (restaurants/eateries mainly) tend to not stick to open/close schedules.

A VERY Nostalgic Visit Indeed!
I vacationed at Lake Tahoe with my parents when I was 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 years old in 1950 & 1951 and have never forgotten how special it was! I even had old photos from back then. So, for my last resort style vacation, (I am in stage 4 cancer and may not be able to travel much longer), I chose to come back to this lake that I have such fond memories of. The owners are just a wonderful family and made it more special than I could have dreamed it would be! The cabin was wonderful and we were the only boat on the water for 6 of the 7 days there! Many many thanks go to the owners & their extended family for giving my daughter, my best friend, and myself a marvelous experience! Don't pass this one up if you are looking for a picturesque and quite location with an impressive and spotless log cabin! Being just 2 1/2 miles from town it is very convenient yet you will feel tucked many more miles away in this beautiful part of northern Wisconsin. And if you are a golfer don't forget your clubs as the nearby golf course is just as picturesque as the lake and features many amazing wood carvings to look for along the way! May God bless the Pierpont family!
