There are five golf courses within 15 minutes of the property. The Property: This spacious home feels like your own personal tree house in the woods surrounded by pines overlooking Petenwell Lake. While the property does not walk out to the water, you can access a shared pier to enjoy the sandy-bottom lake – it’s a short walk from the deck (lake access requires use of stairs). The Great Outdoors: Step outside onto the massive deck that spans the entire front of the house—perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee and watching for deer or eagles soaring overhead. The deck also features a gas grill and two sets of outdoor dining tables. After dinner, gather around the fire table for cozy evenings under the stars, or make your way to the separate fire pit for s'mores and laughter.

Enjoy friendly competition with ping-pong, Boss Toss, darts, poker, or cribbage. For movie nights or the big game, the large smart TV and comfy seating area provide a cozy space to gather. Gamers will appreciate the smaller TV with gaming chairs—perfect for setting up your Xbox. Cards, board games and puzzles are available for extra fun! Inside the House: The interior of the home is designed for comfort and relaxation. The open kitchen/living/dining room features a gorgeous cathedral knotty pine ceiling and two-story windows facing West for sunsets on the lake.

Jun 14, 2024 #### Family Memories at Peaceful Pines Fantastic few days in the Northwoods with family! The large, open kitchen/living room were perfect for eating, spending time and playing games with the whole family. The common area pathway directly behind Peaceful Pines runs approximately two miles and is perfect for walking, exercising, or hiking and has amazing views of Lake Petenwell. ##### Ryan K. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Halley M. Aug 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great house, good for big group or ATVs. The house and surrounding woods were great.There is a nice trail right by the house. You cannot access the lake without a 3 mile drive or a 2+ mile walk. There is a very steep stairway that leads to a pier half a mile away. This is not safe for kids. Signage says you cannot fish on the pier or near the beach. Shore fishing is nearly impossible. This place is ideal for hiking and has great trails for recreational atv, dirt bikes, etc. but if you are wanting to swim or fish look else where. You can see the lake from the house but without a boat it is not usable. ##### Halley M.
