Beautiful Lakefront home on Pickerel Lake

*Previously named Pinewood*

Enjoy the quiet and private 2+ acre setting, with 215 feet of frontage, on the beautiful Pickerel Lake in St. Germain. Just short drives from St. Germain, Eagle River, and Minocqua, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath vacation home is a comfortable Northwoods retreat with all the necessities of home.

Enjoy cooking your meals with a fully equipped, newly updated kitchen that provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a view with the indoor dining table, or step into the screened-in three-season room and take in the outdoors while enjoying your meal. The main level also boasts a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a large TV, perfect for cozying up for a family movie night. The primary bedroom is just down the hallway and accommodates a King-size bed, along with a Full-size sleeper sofa.

The lower level of the home has the perfect rec room, great for keeping entertained on those unexpected rainy days, equipped with a huge tv, pool table, wood-burning stove, and bar-height table that's great for board games or cards. There is a full bathroom on the lower level, as well as two bedrooms. The first bedroom has a Queen-size bed, while the second bedroom offers a bunk bed (both Twin-size beds) and a solo Twin-size bed.

Step outside and get some fresh air. Relax on the large wrap-around deck or enjoy s'mores and stories around the firepit. There's plenty to do outside at Jer Bear's Hideaway, including gradual, level frontage- perfect for swimming.

Pickerel Lake offers excellent fishing, swimming, and boating. Bass, Musky, Northern, Walleye, and an abundance of panfish are well stocked in Pickerel Lake.

Great Location!
Location location location is the highlight of this property. I would definitely book again! A couple of the internal pieces of the cabin are bit older, but that shouldn't matter because you should be outside the whole time anyway!

A well-maintained cabin that offers the best of two worlds; Peace, quiet and plenty of space on one hand, and connectivity to technology and person to person games on the other. The only one thing that confused us was at the end of the trip. After cleaning up, we could not find the garbage bin in the garage. We only found two recycling bins.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The smell in the house is a little musty. Some of the carpets are not cleaned very well from previous pet incidents. The mattresses are very worn down and you can feel the springs as you lay down. However the view is beautiful from the balcony and the location of the house is very private. Very large lot.. great for kids and dogs.

Hiller Vacation is Wonderful
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is a "bit tired". Mattresses are very thin, lighting is poor and the frig needs to be retired. Now onto the good... the location is beautiful, the house is nicely laid out for families with pets. Deers are running through the front lawn, the pier is perfect for fishing... rent a boat from Hiller. The frig did not work properly so, we called Hiller they were there within the hour with bags of ice and coolers. The next day a frig repairman was there. He told us that the older frig allows for you to keep one compartment cool (i.e. frig or freezer). We purchased a small thermometer to gauge the temp at it was at 45 degrees. 40 is the standard. We went into the Hiller office to thank them for being so good. They allowed us to look at another property for next year and we booked it on the spot. If this property takes care of a few things i.e. new mattresses, new frig, better lighting it would be a 4 start for the money. Look at other properties that Hiller has to offer you can't go wrong.

Great Thanksgiving Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely 3 night vacation with friends at Jer Bear's. Only negatives were that it would be helpful to have TV information available so you don't need to call the office. Also, there was a lot of dirt/dust in the upstairs bedroom behind the couch which we found when looking for light switches. Also, we are senior citizens and were not delighted to have to shovel the steps and deck to get into the cabin. It was super slick and there should have been ice pellet and snow should have been taken care of for us.

Smelly Pinewood
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The waterfront is awesome! The cabin not so much. Every bed in the cabin was horrible. The mattresses are each about an inch thick with no boxspring under, just springs. Awful smell going down the stairs into basement. Then on the outside when you wanted to enjoy the beautiful view. There is an awful smell of sewage from the holding tank right in the middle of the yard. This was very disappointing. Called office 2 guys came out and said they smelled it and left. Didn’t do anything about it. Nice....Stopped in the office to have trash picked up on Monday. Didn’t come until Thursday. Very disappointed in spending 3000 for this.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great place for our family. The house is great and location is perfect. It is a private and beautifully wooded lot. I would recommend investing in new mattresses for a few of the beds. Not good. The house is great for kids as well as adults. We enjoyed the fire pit being far enough away from the house so no smoke came through the windows/doors. The added dock was also fun for fishing without trips to the ER for hook removal! I would rent again. Hiller made the process very easy.

Pinewood, Pickerel Lake - Won't Be Back
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Pinewood on Pickerel Lake for a week. The wooded setting is very nice, private and the view of the lake is beautiful. However, we would not rent this house again. Our biggest issues were the lack of adequate indoor lighting and the poor water quality of Pickerel Lake which prevented us from swimming. The house furnishings and kitchen supplies are basic and worn. The lake was ok for kayaking and fishing. It’s very shallow and the water was murky even at shallow depths. The lake surface was covered in algae (pond scum). In the future, I would check the Wisconsin DNR website for lake quality info before renting in this area.There are no overhead lights in the living areas and the small lamps in the main living area are too dim for reading. Lighting in both baths is dim. The large upstairs bedroom faces the driveway & house entry path and has no privacy shades or drapes. The rugs, bedspreads and other areas needed a good cleaning. The basement level smelled damp even with a constantly running dehumidifier (which filled up twice a day.) There were numerous small maintenance issues. The house had a window a/c unit in the living room which we didn’t use. There was unsecured wifi but it didn’t work very well so don’t count on it. Cell phone service was fine.Hiller’s (the rental management company) provided us with pontoon boat and kayak rentals both of which were handled very professionally and were at the dock when we arrived. The pontoon boat was brand new.

Hiller's tried to remedy the issues as they occured. The outside was great.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Uncomfortable mattresses in master and twin room, especially for 2 weeks. No comfortable seating anywhere: sofa and loveseat are old and everyone “sinks” down no matter one’s weight. Need cushions on all the hard wood seating.Deck was cob web dirty, not swept.The 15 steps are laborious for older people to haul luggage, etc. Perhaps that info could be included in description. Good scenic view. Kitchen well appointed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 2nd time staying at this location. The location is very private and beautiful. Our kids love swimming by the dock and fishing, and it's great that the boat landing is so close by. The only downfall to the place is there is only a window a/c, so for the really hot days, the house gets pretty hot. It would also be nice if the owners could get some new pots and pans. We cooked all of our meals here for the week, and the pots and pans are in tough condition. Overall, this place is great!

Great Home with Nice Ameneties
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay in October 2019 for a fishing trip weekend. The house was accommodating to our party size and we were pleased with the location on the lake and to nearby St. Germain. We utilized the grill and pool table. We did notice that many of the pool cue tips were missing, so we went to WalMart and purchased a repair kit and replaced many of the cue tips that we could. If you're bringing a boat, you will need a good 200 feet of extension cord to be able to plug in your boat. The seating area is comfortable and the fireplaces, both upstairs and downstairs were handy in helping us dry off from a wet weekend. I highly recommend staying here!
