Just 50 feet from the aptly named Rest Lake, this remote home is an excellent retreat for families and groups looking to get away from it all. Lake views come easy in this lovely lakefront home. Two different living room spaces (each with a wood-burning fireplace and one with a wet bar!) means there's extra room to relax. Central air conditioning will help you cool off after a long day of lake fun. Board games are provided and a poker table is all set up for fun late nights. The incredibly spacious kitchen has plenty of space to prepare your favorite meals, and there's room for four guests to enjoy breakfast at the bar. If you'd rather cook on the private gas grill, you'll be delighted at the view from the deck. The laundry room provides plenty of space and a laundry sink (in addition to the private washer/dryer) to help take care of everyone's swimsuits. The outdoor play structure will provide hours of fun, and there's always room for one more person around the firepit.

Blue Sky and Water Views

The view of Rest Lake from the dining room, kitchen and all three bedrooms made this a very restorative vacation house during late June.

Perfect up-north biking retreat

Fantastic location!! So much to do and so close to the bike trails. The kids, parents, grandparents and dogs all enjoyed the home. Mountain biking, bike path riding, hiking, fishing......we should have stayed longer. Great space to entertain a large group.

Sky Blue Home on Rest Lake, Manitowish Waters, WI

Beautiful home located on Rest Lake in Manitowish Waters, WI. Perfect location on the Manitowish chain of lakes. The home is large enough and furnished well to accommodate a large family vacation. Homes is adjacent to the 28 mile Manitowish Water bike trail that can take you to Boulder Junction in one direction and to Mercer in the other direction. Home is pet friendly and grounds are well kept and open to let your pet run. Fishing activity on the lake was excellent, having caught both Large and Smallmouth bass , Nothern Pike and Musky.

Get away

In general we enjoyed our time. The house was in good shape, even though the couch was being held up by a log. One of the disappointments was the gas grill was broken (igniter and burner). The inside was filthy with food dripping all over the propane tank. We had brought meat from home to grill out.

This a very comfortable and spacious house filled with all of the comforts of home. In a great location as it’s accessible to trails and many fun destinations in town (restaurants, gas, grocery, etc). Love the lake side views and accommodations offered.

Winter wonderland

Second year we have stayed in this house for a weekend of cross country skiing and snow shoeing. We were able to snow shoe out on the lake and fly kites. Returned to the house for a great dinner prepared in the kitchen and settled in by the beautiful fireplace.

Overall a nice stay

Overall we had a nice stay. Great location and great size! A lot of the furniture is wobbly. We were hesitant to use nightstands and coffee tables. Even the dining room table chairs felt unstable. There were also a lot of burnt out lightbulbs. Lastly neither of the doors leading to the waterfront lock.

Spacious house. Great area. No internet.

Loved the kitchen and living area and gorgeous lake and the views from both floors. The dock had a huge hole, and we never were able to log on to the internet. We won’t be back, though it was all fine. I also liked the amazing walking trails.

Very Quiet place with a beautiful lake. House had everything we needed. The air we had to shut off as it was freezing downstairs, and upstairs was comfortable. (froze the people sleeping downstairs after the first night) We did have to call the rental place as the code to enter the house on the door no longer worked and they had to provide us with a different code to get the spare key. But other than those its a great place overall!

Biking Get-a-Way 2024

As far as cleanliness, the property was basically clean. Some stains on carpet and we had to empty the dishwasher from the previous guest. I rated the check-in a "3" because they gave us a code for the keyless entry. Unfortunately, there is something mechanically wrong with the front door lock system and we couldnt get in. Walked around to back and the door was unlocked so that is how we got onto our rental. From there, we had to call the 800 number to tell them the keyless entry lock didn't work and they told us where we could find the actual physical key for the property. They were very helpful. Later, we discovered NONE of the back doors to the property had locks that worked. I didn't likethat I booked this place with VBRO and ended up with Vacassa ... kind of confusing as I already had an account with VBRO and never heard of Vacasa. As far as accuracy of the listing, there is NOT a TV or DVD player in the whole place. There is, however, a huge TV antenna on the outside of the property. Both TV and DVD player are listed on the amenities so if that is important to you, you should be aware of this. Also, I think the pictures online are dated. The furnishigs are getting worn and there are several knobs missing from cupboards and drawers. The place could use a little TLC but all-in-all, a very nice property. We came to bike so not having a TV wasn't a deal breaker. We loved the proximity to the bike trails and we had a great time! I would book again.

Lovely Home on Quiet Bay

This home was ideal for us. The location was great…close to biking, hiking and canoeing! The home was very clean, comfy beds and plenty of space to spread out. The outdoors were pretty great too…nice dock to relax watching the sun set and a large fire pit for an evening fire. Communication with the host was very fast and thorough. Thank you. We will be back!

Read the fine print

Television does not mean cable. There is NO CABLE OR ANTENNA ON THE PROPERTY. The high speed internet was dial up speed at best. Obviously because it is rural, internet is provided via a satellite dish that is mounted on the roof under a tree - pretty much the reason it was spotty and didn’t work real well. We didn’t go up there to watch RV all day, but when the sun went down and the mosquitoes came out, it would have been nice to either have cable or internet. The property manager pretty much blew us off when we complained about the internet. Had a guy show up and told us to reboot the router… really? Don’t you think I tried that? House was nice, bring your own spices as there are none. They also advertise a DVD player - but we didn’t find any DVDs on the property. Dogs had fun as there was plenty of room for them to explore. Careful at night though as we did see a pretty good size wolf. Our shepherd is 70# and the wolf was much bigger than she is. If you have a large family and want some get away time away from reality, this is the place. If you want to stay in touch with reality, keep looking for a different place.

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful family vacation with our 2 kids and chocolate lab. We brought our boat up with us and enjoyed traveling the chain as well. We especially loved having the boat lift there to get our boat out of the water enough at night so we knew it was protected. It was nice having the cabin on a dead end road. The kids rode their bikes up and down the road many times with no issues. We will be back!

Fall Weekend in Manitowish Waters

Very nice house on Rest Lake to enjoy a long October weekend in the northwoods. Large house with a big yard on a quiet dead end road. Plenty of space for our group of 6 adults. A couple of things to note for renters: No TV service, cable, antenna or satellite. Also in the Fall the lake water level is down, for us it was 3 feet low, the dock was unuseable.
