Thinking about warmer summer days? Get some days off come enjoy the Turtle lake chain next year while some days are still available. If the availability doesn’t work with your schedule consider booking for 2026. Pick the days that work best for you but you will need to book early. Bookings for next summer coming in already so make your plans for next year before all the best dates are booked up! This place stands out from the rest and is absolutely everything you could ever want in an up north cabin. And it’s been newly landscaped as of 2021, CHAIN OF LAKES HOME!! Walk right in and start enjoying the lake life. This property has so much to offer! Let's start with the 186' of sand frontage that leads you onto the 900+ acre Turtle Lake Chain.

Perfect fire pit area overlooks the lake and private, wooded lot. *** New in 2023 new patio furniture that swivels and glides. So very comfortable ***. Awesome wrap around deck is great for looking at the water or keeping an eye on the kids. Inside you will find a fresh remodel of the home including a gas fireplace. Home also offers A/C for those hot summer days. Great layout gives you the option to put the kids in the fully finished lower level with walkout patio door. Win Man mountain biking trails, cross country skiing trails snowmobile & Iron County ATV trails and more restaurants and bars than you could possibly try in one trip just down the street! A large circle drive was added to allow guests with large trailers the ability to pull straight into the driveway and NEVER have to back out.

Also new last summer i added a generator that will power up the entire property during those pesky power outages! Come enjoy! Starting in January 2024 Vilas County is restricting the maximum number of guests to six. Vilas County is also requiring a minimum of seven consecutive days for each booking. I have adjusted my calendar pricing on specific weeks during fall, winter and spring months to help those that only want to book for four days but have to pay for seven reduced price days to be compliant with Vilas County.

This is our go to vacation home once again! Fourth time! Our host is very accommodating and always available to answer any questions. The most complete kitchen I have ever experienced! No problem cooking ...the view of the lake makes cooking a pleasure. This the best, most beautiful and relaxing experience EVER!
Very comfortable and cute place. The updated outdoor space was very nice o too! We did everything from play board games, sight seeing, fishing, swimming, and more fishing. Our boat rental was easily tied up to the dock right out front which was very convenient. Great communication.
Our second time at Winman House and it was once again fabulous. The house has everything you need. The dock is located just right for morning sunrise with coffee. And, so is the deck! The griddle top grill is perfect for all types of dining! The fire pit area and landscaping are beautiful. Can’t say enough great things about this place. Thank you!
We had a very comfortable and fun stay at this property with 6 adults and a dog. The property was beautiful, well appointed and very clean. A lot of thought was put into providing comfortable outdoor spaces, and a nice bonus was finding outdoor games, beach towels, swim noodles, etc… for our use. Nice dock for swimming and sunning as well as space for our fishing boat. The owner is also very responsive via text. 100% would recommend!
We had 3 couples that stayed at the house all of us loved the house how it was equipped with what we needed, could sit on the deck in the morning with coffee enjoying the sun rise and enjoy an evening fire on the patio below. The lake was more of a quiet lake to relax and fish which some enjoyed doing. It was a little challenging for some to get to the lake as there were 42 steps to go down, not real good for a few who had health issues. All in all it was wonderful.
Enjoyed the stay at this home very much, very relaxing with a great view. Well equipped kitchen and baths. Cozy and comfortable house. The only tiny little thing I would have liked is a canoe or kayaks, however we did rent some so it wall worked out. I would stay again!
We absolutely loved our stay at this home! We enjoyed hiking, biking, boating, fishing and everything else the Northwoods has to offer in the summer. We would for sure rent this home again, it was fully stocked with everything we needed and more and the communication with the host was great!
We had a great time with family and friends in a well set up cabin on a beautiful lake. Nice amenities with a great kitchen and bathrooms. We will be back.
The house is a prime location for biking the Winman trails. House is clean and comfortable with great amenities. Highly recommended and we will definitely stay at this home again in the future.
This is the second time we stayed at this lake house. It is lovely and had everything we needed.
We love this lake house. Second time we have been there to enjoy the north woods in the autumn. We will definitely be back next year. The house is well appointed and lovely. We had a great time and got some much needed rest and relaxation.
We had a great time on Turtle Lake. Rented a pontoon through Good Nuf Rentals and it served us well. The house is in great shape and it lives up to the pictures and descriptions that are listed.
Cabin and property was clean and well-stocked with all the essentials for a low-stress getaway in the Northwoods. Backyard was great in the evenings by the fire pit. Early mornings were often spent fishing for panfish off the dock. Within a short drive of a coffee shop (Dixie’s), hikes for waterfalls, lumberjack show, beach, and many other adventures.
Very nice cabin on a great lake. View is beautiful. Excellent outdoor area. Although a little small in the dining area, it served our group of eight people nicely. There is outside dining too. Very nicely decorated and it has a backup generator which is fantastic since the town power went out for a few hours. No electrical disruption to us at all. Great cabin for a family.
We had such an amazing time! Our first night we got to see the Northern Lights, which was a first for all of us. We made a ton of great memories. We went sledding at Winman Trails and cooked dinner at the house. It was a special place and we will be back again soon! Thank you for opening up your home to us.
Everything we could want in a place...just needed snow!
This was a great place for a family of 5 and could see it working for a couple of families or larger group. The layout is great for cooking/eating/hanging out. Most everything is remodeled and works great. The water had no taste of iron or sulfur, sometimes hard to find up here. The games, TVs, and Wi-Fi all made for great entertainment time. Other than Old Man Winter not cooperating, there's nothing to grumble about with this property. Thanks for a great stay!
This property is great, simply put. Its clean, well appointed and has ample space to do anything you need to do. The deck over looking the lake is a great place to relax and enjoy the morning or evening. The owner has a very nice pier use for boating or just swimming and South Turtle Lake is a really great lake in northern Wisconsin. We hope to be back someday soo!
