Escape to the Northwoods with a stay at this charming, nature-filled cabin located just minutes from the scenic Turtle-Flambeau Flowage in beautiful Mercer, WI. Perfect for couples or a family, this peaceful getaway blends rustic comfort with modern convenience for an unforgettable Wisconsin vacation.

Inside, you’ll find a warm log interior with tongue-and-groove finishes, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy living area with a gas log fireplace and TV/DVD player — ideal for relaxing after a day of outdoor fun. The cabin features a queen bed on the main floor, a queen in the loft, and a full-size futon in the great room, plus high-speed internet to stay connected. The spa-like bathroom includes a large whirlpool tub with shower, perfect for unwinding in comfort at the end of the day.

Outside, you’ll enjoy a fire pit, picnic table, and your own fish cleaning station — great for evening cookouts under the stars. Just a half mile from the cabin, guests have access to a private dock area on the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage, where you can store your boat, swim, fish, kayak, or paddleboard in the clear, quiet water.

Adventure awaits right from your doorstep. ATV/UTV and snowmobile trails are directly accessible, offering endless miles of riding through forests, lakes, and wilderness. The Mercer area is also known for exceptional fishing, boating, kayaking, biking, wildlife watching, and scenic drives. Nearby attractions include hiking trails, the Turtle-Flambeau Scenic Waters Area, Shays Dam, waterfalls near Iron County, golf courses, local supper clubs, and charming small-town shops.

This cabin offers true four-season appeal. Summer invites guests to spend long days on the Flowage, fishing for musky and walleye, paddling through quiet bays, or enjoying sunset boat rides. Fall brings brilliant foliage, crisp air, and peaceful forest hikes. Winter opens the door to snowmobiling on some of Wisconsin’s best trails, along with ice fishing, snowshoeing, and cozy nights by the fire. Spring offers quiet beauty, blooming wildflowers, rising wildlife activity, and refreshing early-season fishing.

Whether you’re here for peaceful relaxation or an action-packed outdoor escape, this cabin delivers the perfect setting for your Northwoods getaway.
