The property is 170 acres, and surrounds 398 acres of shallow lake and wetlands. If you enjoy fishing there are perch and bluegill to be teased out of the lilies, but you will have to work hard to find them. There's lots of wildlife. Fabulous river tubing just minutes away. Canoes and kayaks available. The entire facility is undergoing on-going renovations, expect new carpeting, fixtures, appliances. The space Spread out into a comfortable King Master Bedroom with its own sitting area, TV, closet and ensuite bath. A second queen bedroom awaits with a full closet, TV, and its own exterior door. The "Hardy Boy Room" features two twin beds, bureau and closet. There is a loft with two more twin beds. We are constantly adding finishing touches so we apologize not all areas are complete yet. We will be adding photos over the next few weeks different areas are finished up. The living room is open-concept, with a gas fireplace and Satellite TV and leads out to a large deck. Note on the TV: because sattelite service is our only option our here for TV and WIFI, we just want you to know that it can be spotty. Especially in bad weather. Which we have a lot of here in Wisconsin! If TV is essential to your vacation happiness, please don't book this house, as we have no control over this aspect. The wifi is good for light-duty surfing and emails, don't expect to stream movies. Our house has surround sound now with bluetooth so you can play your own tunes and they will sound great. Guest access Guests may have full run of the property, except for the storage garages where we keep our equipment. There is a tent outside where we keep our wood pile for our construction materials, please instruct children to keep clear of that. For example we did not advertise a large bar/sunroom that is being worked on but not ready for occupancy yet. Other things to note: We have one other rental on the property, a tiny floating house out on the lake. The aluminum canoe is reserved for those renters. It is usually rented by solo travelers seeking time alone or by couples seeking back-country camping experiences. They will park by the canoe landing area and won't bother you a bit. Our place isn't 100% perfect yet as there are many planned amenities we are still working hard to complete. The sunroom is not complete, the dock had to be pulled out by an excavator early this year due to major ice damage this past winter. You can still launch your canoes/kayaks alrightm but just know its a temporary situation. The hot tub/pavillion are still under construction. The hot tub is working, just doesn't have the pavillion done yet, its functional (no bugs!) but not very "beautiful" . There is a tent outside where we keep the wood we are working on (all the wood we use is from the property and has to be be cut and sawn, hand-peeled, so you will see many things in progress ). ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Wheelchair-accessible parking available - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 accessible parking spaces - Front entrance ramp - No elevator - Smooth flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair accessibility - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - On a lake - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Rafting nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70520000/70519700/70519678/c356ea7d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious Dog Friendly House in Oconto County Suring - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.8 Exceptional 65 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=70519678&PinnedHotelID=70519678&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83940000/83935300/83935278/ee193e7e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### All-Season Modern Cottage on Red Lake - 45 min from Green Bay Gresham - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 34 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=83935278&PinnedHotelID=83935278&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109540000/109539800/109539773/483341ac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bear Cub Cabin is a cozy 1 bedroom and loft oasis Sayner - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.0 Wonderful 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=109539773&PinnedHotelID=109539773&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115210000/115204900/115204899/fa302bb7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Dock, BBQ Ready: Lakefront Fifield Home!

Turning off the highway onto the gravel road and traveling between the neighboring farms, we didn't know what to expect, but quickly found ourselves among the trees and next to the water for a secluded and private stay. The house itself was constructed and is well cared for and loved by the host's family - it was really cool to see pictures of their efforts in the guest book. The hosts were communicative as necessary, but also left us to enjoy our stay in peace. ##### Jacob L. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie N.

Great getaway with homey touches of full kitchen and outdoor gas grill on the deck. We had beautiful weather and spent much of our time relaxing at cabin, kayaking on lake, or taking short adventures to places like Shawano Lake County Park or Cathedral Pines Nature Preserve. Each evening we topped off by watching the sunset and listening to frogs at our own bonfire with s'mores. Afterwards, we relaxed in the hot tub before heading in for the night. Look forward to visiting the place again and seeing what new features are added to the place! ##### Marie B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Briana Y.

Jim went as far as calling and finding us an affordable pontoon in the area. We also went tubing on the river with Great Wolf tubing and it was amazing. I recommend getting to the river early so you can make multiple trips, it is so relaxing. The hosts' main concern is taking care of their guests and they are superb at it. My only regret is not staying longer. We plan on making another trip up in the winter and making a summer trip a new family tradition. I can't wait to see the finished product bc it is phenomenal now. Thank you for everything. ##### Briana Y. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil U. Jul 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### July 10 - July 14, 2024 (Crissy’s Bday weekend) We had a wonderful stay. The cabin is beautiful and secluded. Lots of amenities and thoughtful details throughout to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The pictures don't do this property justice. There's private access to a lake with kayaks for fun. There's a small boat too, but we found the kayaks easier to maneuver around the lily pads. There's also a private hot tub that's perfect for starting your day, or finishing it off. We had such a grateful time here and would highly recommend it for anyone looking to get away from city life, it's very quiet, clean, and disconnected. Warning, the wifi is very bad (they recognize this upfront) so just be aware. It's nice to stay in touch with family and friends, but because it's such a remote location, I guess this remains a challenge. Thank you Jim and Yana for sharing this diamond in the rough with all of us. ##### Neil U.

I absolutely needed serenity and quiet and it was a perfect getaway from life. Luckily for us, the floating little house wasn’t rented out so there was absolute silence. The only advice I would give or item I would change would be to add reflector house numbers on the side of the mailbox. I read through another review about the difficulty of finding the road so I was really looking for a turnoff IMMEDIATELY after another driveway. The property sign with the number is facing the opposite direction of the way in and in weeds. Thank you for the stay and we look forward to booking it when the remodel is complete (at the same rate would be great!). ;) ##### Jennifer K.

Our crew had an excellent time here and are looking forward to coming again! The property is very private and we had endless space to ourselves. We really enjoyed spending time kayaking/canoeing/paddle boarding on the small lake connected to the property. We also rented and pontoon boat for the day on Shawano Lake for a very reasonable price only about 20 minutes away from the property. Our group had brought our bikes as well and had a fun time cruising around the area. The hot tub was a nice bonus feature and the enclosed area around it was a great way to enjoy being outside at night while avoiding the bugs! The property was as described in the description and Jim and Yana were very responsive throughout the entire process and great to work with. The interior of the home is complete and there are some cool upgrades in the works for other additions to the home and for the exterior. Our group is excited to come back in the future and see the progress that has been made! The price point was excellent and we felt our needs were more than met! We loved all of the natural wood in the place and the small details such as the hammock hanging in the main room were a fun touch. We are looking forward to using this property again in the future! Thanks again Jim and Yana! ##### Jamie D. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymond H. Aug 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Getaway Stay This property is great. If you really want to be away, you can be totally away. Jim was really easy to work with and responsive. The house was very clean when we arrived. Nicely appointed and everything worked as expected. As someone who cooks, there could have been more variety in the utensils and accessories in the kitchen but the knives were sharp and pans are good quality. As described the house is still under renovation so if you want a pristine property, it’s not there yet, but it’s safe and the construction materials are neatly stacked and don’t take away from anything. There’s a great photo story of the renovation and it’s absolutely amazing what’s been done to the house. When the three season room is finished it will be great addition to what is already a great experience. It’s a very short walk to the lake but you have to go out on the water for views. No worries on that, kayaks and life jackets are easily accessible and in good condition. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend that if looking for a great and quiet getaway, this property is great. It’s a cabin in the woods, a very nice cabin in the woods. ##### Raymond H. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CORTNEY L. Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We would stay here again! We visited this property in July which is peak horsefly season so we were unable to explore and experience as much as we would like but we still had a blast. Pros: Nicely decorated bedrooms with comfy beds with amazing sheets, large, functional kitchen, Indoor and outdoor hammocks, hot tub, several grills, campfire area with wood and chairs, secluded yard with trails and access to kayaks on Christy Lake, much seating for watching tv, playing games or relaxing with a book(4 seasons addition is awesome), extra supplies throughout house, dog friendly! Cons: We did book during peak time of summer but feel the cottage was not very clean(master shower and kitchen sink were not cleaned and dishwasher was full) and we started with 1 towel in each bathroom(we did find the extras). Bin for hot tub towels was empty as well. The kitchen is great but the utensils are old and flimsy. Not great options to do dishes manually other than old Hand towels. The kitchen is huge but most of the cupboards are full with supplies for the projects and cleaning supplies, a bit disorganized. There is a table top ice maker because the fridge one was broke, had to use bottled water because the water is gross tasting. There are areas of covered supplies for the cottage renovation projects that were easy to get around but we found lots of garbage throughout the property as well. Master bathroom is nice with a double sink vanity but the shower is super small And terrible showerhead, other shower was great! ##### CORTNEY L. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary K. Sep 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My sisters and I so enjoyed our stay. The beds were so comfortable and the area is so peaceful. They have really thought of the little things like soaps, lotions, spices, coffee pods and so much more. The steam shower, bidet, hot tub and gas fireplaces are such nice extra features. The bear in the 4 season room was unexpected but he minded his manners. We will need to rebook next year to see how the fireplace turns out with the stone finish. We would have loved to use the boat to go out to the lake but didn’t get to this time. We really enjoyed our stay and would gladly return if we can. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bd97fc04-b091-4ccc-b9ff-00c4caa840b4-1758734936157.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mary K.
