About this house rental

Serene 4-Bedroom House on the Wisconsin River

Escape to this peaceful 4-bedroom house situated on the beautiful Wisconsin River just north of Lake Alexander. This cozy home is the perfect all-season family getaway.

In the summer, enjoy the waterfront by kayak and paddle board, both included with your rental. The long open shoreline makes for easy swimming or fishing and a designated sandy/shallow area makes it great for a kids play area or setting a chair in the water to chill. The spacious yard is ideal for outdoor games and unforgettable campfire nights. Enjoy sunsets from a private upper balcony deck area overlooking the yard and water.

In the winter, take advantage of ice fishing and easy access to nearby snowmobile trails. Direct snowmobile access to the ice.

This property is close to Council Grounds State Park and Grandfather Falls which features scenic Ice Age Trails. You can drive a short distance to the city to stroll the historic home district by foot and visit the three stone-arch bridges for a memorable photo opportunities. Experience the area’s natural beauty by hiking, ATVing and snowmobiling and visit the Underdown Recreation Area trails for mountain biking and cross-country skiing through gorgeous landscapes. Thirsty? Check out a local favorite, the Sawmill Brewery nestled in downtown Merrill.

For even more adventure, Granite Peak Ski Resort is only 35 minutes away, and the Tomahawk Fall Ride is just a 20-minute drive.

Come enjoy comfort, nature, and year-round recreation at this inviting riverside retreat.

With four bedrooms, including three queen beds and a kids bunk room, there’s plenty of space for everyone. Guests can relax in the upstairs living room, balcony sitting area or walkout patio to a spacious yard. Two full bathrooms, one with large walk in shower. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of adventure or gathering for a cozy night in, this superb home offers a welcoming retreat.

The shoreline is open and allows for easy fishing from shore. This stretch of the river is best known for its excellent musky and smallmouth fishing. My kids commonly catch 18+ inch smallies from shore, but its the river and we catch just about everything including smallmouth bass, northern pike, musky, walleye, bluegill, bullheads and suckers.

If you are looking for a local guide fishing service, I would recommend using Kurt Schultz @ Kurt's Guide Service. He knows this stretch of the river very well and will put you on fish regardless of your experience level.

In the summer months there will be a dock where you can dock a fishing boat. There will be a pontoon boat (off limits) on one side and the other side is open for personal use.
