Sitting on the edge of Vance Lake, this home is located in the heart of Manitowish Waters. Inside, you'll be greeted by a large living space with a wood-burning fireplace, where you can relax with your whole group of vacationers. Prepare meals together in the kitchen and indulge in a variety of home entertainment options,including a PS4 and a dartboard. Outside, you can play with your dogs in the yard or utilize this ideal location to kayak (two are provided), swim, or boat in the lake!

From your front door, you're just a short walk to plenty of shopping and dining in Manitowish Waters. The local bike and snowmobile trails are accessible at the end of the driveway (with four adult-size bikes provided), so adventures begin the second you step outside. Cast a line in Vance Lake and try your hand at landing some of the resident musky, panfish, bass, pike, walleye, and sturgeon. Additional fun on the water awaits in the Manitowish Chain of Lakes, accessible down the road.

    Stayed for a snowmobiling trip. House was nice and accurate listing. Heat was not working upon arrival but maintenance was there quickly and fixed the problem. Easy access to the snowmobile trials and plenty of good establishments in the area.

    Over all the stay was wonderful and the house was perfect for what we were needing. The only negative thing was the stairs to the basement. They were very steep

    Open interior spaces great for kids, inclusion of bed linens - not just blankets, easy access driveway to roadway. Walking distance to coffee shop, restaurant, grocery, bar/grill, Rest Lake and park.

    Loved the open concept on the main floor where the living room, dining room and kitchen were located. Cozy living room area where we could hang out together and watch a movie (or do video games if we had wanted to :). Large back yard with fire pit to enjoy, as well as a dock below with a boat, canoe, and kayaks we enjoyed taking out on the water. Liked the location, felt secluded, and yet near bike trail, stores, restaurants, and a unique antique store we got to visit. - A few maintenance issues to be addressed (wobbly chair, etc.), but overall we enjoyed our time there. Would consider visiting again.

    For a bike trip the location was great. The trail was at the end of the driveway. Very comfortable beds and mostly very clean. The outside grill was filthy.

    The location to the bars was easily walkable. If you had a boat you could dock at the park and enjoy the rest of the chain. Nice shaded back yard. Was plenty of room to park and sleep.

    I’ve stayed at a lot of properties and this by far was the worst fro a cleanliness standpoint. It was also the first time I’ve stayed at a property being managed by a company. All the other properties I’ve dealt with the owners directly. Cobwebs, not enough utensils for

    I arrived to find a fresh externally painted home. It is not red anymore but a nice dark brown.Nice easy access with driveway and entry.The home was clean & has a beautiful open kitchen and living space.There is access to the balcony with a grill.Loved the 2 upstairs bedrooms 1 with a shower (1/2 bath). It is a bit older and small shower which worked great.One full bath upstairs. Kitchen windows are great,however lake view is limited due to large trees.There is a nice lower level with walk out ability to the grounds and patio with firepit outside.There is a bathroom with sink and toilet and no shower.Both rooms and an opens space area with a desk were spacious.It was cool and rainy while here. The yard is great and would be a nice place for kids and a larger group.The lake front is more rustic.The pier is wonky, but sturdy. Very boggy grounds, maybe due to the rain, but access to the canoe and kayaks could get messy. If it were nicer weather I would definitely have utilized them. There was also access to a fishing boat. This is not a beach/lakefront for kids to play on. There are 2 restaurants either side within walking distance and one further down that you could walk to as well. We went to all three and they were all really good. There is a gas station nearby as well.There is little star beach ~4 miles which would be a great option if you are looking for beach front activity or Torpy park in Minoqua.Biking path looks amaziing.
