Tomahawk, Wisconsin
Welcome to picturesque serenity in the Northwoods. Our spacious and comfortable two level 2700 sq. ft. log sided home with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms is nestled on 1.5 wooded acres with 150 feet of frontage on the 184 acre Grandfather Flowage in North Central Wisconsin. You'll find us approximately 11 miles South of Tomahawk and 13 miles North of Merrill in the peaceful Town of Rock Falls.
Throughout your stay, you are sure to appreciate our comfortable beds, well outfitted kitchen, carefully thought out decor and many amenities. Inside and out, you will find multiple spaces to enjoy gathering with family and friends.
Gather for meals in the dining area featuring a large rustic dining table for 8 as well as 3 counter stools. Summertime allows for additional seating for 2 in the adjoining screened-in porch.
Gather in the main level family room by the cozy gas fire place for some great conversation or to watch movies on the 65 inch 4K Smart TV. Snuggle up on the comfy leather sectional or recliner with a good book and cozy throw blanket.
During warmer months, gather in the 280 sq. ft. screened in porch we call the Tree House. Located on the main level of the house, this space offers comfortable intimate seating areas surrounded by tree tops. Combine this with views of the waterfront and the sounds of nature and you'll see why this one of our family's favorite spaces. A wonderful place to gather, even on a rainy summer day.
Head downstairs to the lower level to find the reading nook with a large selection of children's books just waiting to be shared with the little ones. Gather at the game table for cards, board games or puzzles. An ample selection is provided for your enjoyment. Grab a comfy spot on the the motorized reclining leather couch or love seat to watch a movie or sporting event on the 70 inch 4K Smart TV with DVD player.
In the warmer months gather in the nicely landscaped outdoor areas. You'll find a lower level patio with table seating for 8-10 with views of the water. A grassy area adjoins this space for yard games.
Venture further down the gradual sloping path to the water where you will find a fire pit and grouping of comfortable Adirondack chairs to enjoy roasting marshmallows, story telling and star gazing.
Adventure awaits those looking to enjoy the water or explore the surrounding area. In Spring, Summer and Fall head out in the mad river canoe or kayaks to explore ten miles of shoreline. An air compressor is available for those wishing to bring their own inflatables. Fish from the pier or venture out in the non-motorized fishing boat provided. Fish waiting to be caught include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. A public boat landing is located a short distance away for those wishing to bring their own boat.
Less than two miles away, hikers will want to head to the nearby entrance to the Ice Age Trail and take in the exceptionally scenic trail section that includes Grandfather Falls. Grandfather Falls is the highest waterfall on the Wisconsin River with a total drop of 89 feet spread out in a series of cascades over the distance of about a mile. There are some rugged sections of the trail so be prepared with appropriate foot ware and some may wish to bring a hiking stick.
In addition to hiking trails, ATV and snowmobile trails are abundant in the area. For skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts, Granite Peak Ski Resort, located in Rib Mountain State Park near Wausau, is just a 35-40 minute drive. Granite Peak is the third tallest ski area in the Midwest and tallest in Wisconsin.

Very nice property. Enjoyed sitting around the fire on the shore of the Wisconsin River. Well stocked home in great condition. We enjoyed the porch in the mornings. Very relaxing time.
We fit our family of 7 comfortably for our 5 day stay in this spacious property. The beds and pull were all very comfortable. Sheets and towels all smelled fresh and clean. The kitchen is stocked with all the cooking supplies you could need. Screened in porch was a great escape to relax without any bugs. But bugs weren’t a huge issue as the owners have the property sprayed. Our kids loved the kayaks, canoe and boat. Owners have several life jackets and vests of all size available. They have pretty much thought of everything for their guests. Would highly recommend for families.
Our family group of 6 adults and 3 children all enjoyed this beautiful well-appointed home and grounds for our vacation week up north. We were all so comfortable no matter where we were on the property. There was room to spread out or be together inside and out. Every single bed was comfortable with lovely bedding and pillows. The kitchen is so well thought out and stocked with quality dishes, cookware, utensils, spices, and more. The towels throughout the home are lovely. We enjoyed the screened-in porch very much. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay carefree and relaxing. There was a storm where the power went out for hours and their whole house generator kicked in which was so nice. Our family appreciated and enjoyed using the kayaks, canoe, and rowboat and also sitting around the campfire comfortably. Our grandchildren enjoyed finding frogs that came out towards evening. The host, Jackie, was lovely to communicate with and very helpful.
We’ve been renting vacation homes for 15 years, and this was the very best. That’s not to say others weren’t excellent, but this one outranked them all on many levels: - Spotlessly clean - Row boat, kayaks and canoe provided - Beautiful grounds - Indoor and outdoor games - Screened-in porch was so lovely to sit in on cool evenings - SO well appointed. They thought of everything. - Beautiful, comfortable furniture and decor - Enough comfortable seating for 5 adults and more. I can’t stress how difficult that is to come by. Some places sleep 8, but have only a couch and a chair in the living space. - Communication with host was easy and helpful. - HIGHLY recommend.
We enjoyed a fantastic vacation with family. The house was so nice, up to date and clean! Too many amenities to list and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Beds were very comfy and the kitchen was well stocked for all our.needs. We loved the summer activities on the lake, however the fall months would be beautiful too!
Plenty of space for downtime for all 9 of us, many places to relax. The screened in porch at the level of the trees was a favorite. We really enjoyed the use of the kayaks, rowboat and canoe. The kitchen was so well stocked with spices, and all the kitchen tools one needs for cooking. The decorative touches in the home added to the feeling of vacation mode. Our host communicated promptly to any questions we had.
This was our second stay here. Lovely house, fabulous screen porch, and quiet location for a multi-generational family get-together. There are areas to hang separately or be together, both inside and outside. Comfortable and quality accommodation, and we highly recommend it.
A great stay characterized by quiet, river side fires. It is a beautiful, spacious, well maintained home. It is recent construction, 2006. The screened in porch is a comfortable space to read and enjoy the clean, fresh air. It is beautifully decorated with all the modern amenities.
LOVED this house and property!! Clean, comfortable, spacious, private, and supplied with everything you will need for your stay! Brand new comfortable beds with cozy blankets! Tree House ( screened in porch ) is a peaceful place to hang out/read with a gorgeous view! Down by the water - great fishing off the pier/ fire pit with added bonus of tiki torches! If you are looking for waterfront property for family vacation this is the perfect gem!
We stayed here for a full week to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our children & grandchildren. There were plenty of comfortable beds and 3 bathrooms! The property was attractive, comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed being together, but having 2 levels of the home & the great outdoor area near the water also gave us space apart if desired. Hosts were very responsive and I would gladly stay here again in the future & I highly recommend it.
Hostess was very attentive and helpful. The house had everything needed for cooking meals for a family of 8, boats, fire pit, tv’s, games, seating and very comfortable bedding. The views and accommodations were exactly as explained.
This cabin was the best place to relax! It was very clean and spacious, also well decorated and filled with everything you need. The treehouse, as another guest called it, was my favorite spot. It is the screened in porch, but on the second floor/main floor, so you feel like you are in the trees. The dogs enjoyed it too! Our guests enjoyed it as much as we did. The owners thought of everything, it is well supplied with life jackets, even for the dogs. The river is beautiful, especially in the morning. Kayaking and swimming were very enjoyable. It is conveniently located between Merrill and Tomahawk. We seriously enjoyed ourselves and hope to return soon. Thank you Jackie and Jim!
The property was as described, and has a very responsive owner. The treehouse was my favorite spot. We felt safe in this location, and there was room to be together or have space to ourselves. Very well-stocked and comfortable. Highly recommend.
Geogeous cabin. Well maintained and stocked with all the essentials. Beautiful grounds. Very peaceful setting. Loved the screen porch. Highlight of the trip was watching a doe with her twin fawns.
