This cottage and primary home set right on Dog Lake on the Three Lakes chain offers four seasons of outdoor fun. Spend summer mornings swimming or fishing off your private dock (complete with a boat lift), or go for a hike, bike, or ATV ride on one of many nearby trails. In the wintertime, try your hand at icefishing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or snowmobiling. Year-round, stop in for a glass at Three Lakes Winery, around six miles away, explore the Franklin & Butternut Lakes State Natural Area, 15 miles north, or visit Eagle River's shops, restaurants, and amenities about 16 miles northwest.

At home, start the day with coffee out on your patio or furnished deck and wake up with the lake. For meal prep, the cottage offers a well-equipped, open kitchen, while the main house features a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances to make meal prep a breeze. Over in the cottage, dining can be enjoyed indoors at the breakfast bar or the table for six, while the rustic table for four in the main house stands ready for meals or family game nights. Homey, traditional furnishings and open layouts adorned with golden, knotty wood features make it easy to get comfortable with friends and family in both homes.

After a day outdoors, entertainment options at home include streaming-capable TVs and complimentary high-speed WiFi. Keep dinner simple on the gas grill and take part in a picnic at the lakeside table, then unplug entirely while you roast marshmallows around the firepit in the yard. Sleep easy in any of five well-appointed bedrooms - another day of Northwoods adventure awaits tomorrow!
