The Northwoods At Its Finest!

October really is wonderful in the Northwoods. Come see for yourself! Fall is late this year! Come see the impressive fall colors. You will not be disappointed! For all the biking enthusiasts!!! New in 2025 County Rd W will be redone and the shoulders will be widened five feet on each side between where Manitowish Waters meets up with Winchester all the way to Presque Isle, WI. Don’t miss your opportunity to see Mother Nature in all of her glory while enjoying all that the surrounding area has to offer!! This area has so much to do every day of the year! Thinking about warmer summer days? Get some days off come enjoy the Turtle lake chain next year while some days are still available. If the availability doesn’t work with your schedule consider booking for 2026. Pick the days that work best for you but you will need to book early. Bookings for next summer coming in already so make your plans for next year before all the best dates are booked up! This place stands out from the rest and is absolutely everything you could ever want in an up north cabin. And it’s been newly landscaped as of 2021, CHAIN OF LAKES HOME!! Walk right in and start enjoying the lake life. This property has so much to offer! Let's start with the 186' of sand frontage that leads you onto the 900+ acre Turtle Lake Chain. Clear & sandy lake, no muck or weeds, perfect for swimming! New Dock with steps that lead right into the water. **New in Summer of 2023 a second long face dock to fish from or tie up your boat to**. Perfect fire pit area overlooks the lake and private, wooded lot. *** New in 2023 new patio furniture that swivels and glides. So very comfortable ***. Awesome wrap around deck is great for looking at the water or keeping an eye on the kids. Inside you will find a fresh remodel of the home including a gas fireplace. Home also offers A/C for those hot summer days. Great layout gives you the option to put the kids in the fully finished lower level with walkout patio door. Win Man mountain biking trails, cross country skiing trails snowmobile & Iron County ATV trails and more restaurants and bars than you could possibly try in one trip just down the street! A large circle drive was added to allow guests with large trailers the ability to pull straight into the driveway and NEVER have to back out. And for all owners of an electric vehicle there is a 50 amp Nema 14-50 receptacle outside of the garage for your free charging needs. I am constantly improving this already great home. Also new last summer i added a generator that will power up the entire property during those pesky power outages! Come enjoy! Starting in January 2024 Vilas County is restricting the maximum number of guests to six. Vilas County is also requiring a minimum of seven consecutive days for each booking. I have adjusted my calendar pricing on specific weeks during fall, winter and spring months to help those that only want to book for four days but have to pay for seven reduced price days to be compliant with Vilas County. Call me directly for any assistance with your booking @ 262-315-5745

House was wonderful with everything we needed for our week long stay! Very comfortable and exceptionally clean! The landscaping and grounds and beautiful and enjoyable to either sit by the fire pit or just hang around on the dock! Location is fantastic being minutes from great restaurants and downtown. Would definitely recommend this lovely home!

One more stay
We had 3 couples that stayed at the house all of us loved the house how it was equipped with what we needed, could sit on the deck in the morning with coffee enjoying the sun rise and enjoy an evening fire on the patio below. The lake was more of a quiet lake to relax and fish which some enjoyed doing. It was a little challenging for some to get to the lake as there were 42 steps to go down, not real good for a few who had health issues. All in all it was wonderful.

Wonderful Week In The Northwoods!
We had a very comfortable and fun stay at this property with 6 adults and a dog. The property was beautiful, well appointed and very clean. A lot of thought was put into providing comfortable outdoor spaces, and a nice bonus was finding outdoor games, beach towels, swim noodles, etc… for our use. Nice dock for swimming and sunning as well as space for our fishing boat. The owner is also very responsive via text. 100% would recommend!

Everything we could want in a place...just needed snow!
This was a great place for a family of 5 and could see it working for a couple of families or larger group. The layout is great for cooking/eating/hanging out. Most everything is remodeled and works great. The water had no taste of iron or sulfur, sometimes hard to find up here. The games, TVs, and Wi-Fi all made for great entertainment time. Other than Old Man Winter not cooperating, there's nothing to grumble about with this property. Thanks for a great stay!

Return to Winman
We once again enjoyed our retreat to the Northern Wisconsin territory! Our "home away from home" is the perfect place to relax and rewind. Everything (and I mean everything) that you could possible need is supplied by our host. Best stocked kitchen I've encountered! And the lake view is unmatched! We enjoyed hearing the loons calling out on the lake. Beautiful!

Great time in the Northwoods!
Cabin and property was clean and well-stocked with all the essentials for a low-stress getaway in the Northwoods. Backyard was great in the evenings by the fire pit. Early mornings were often spent fishing for panfish off the dock. Within a short drive of a coffee shop (Dixie’s), hikes for waterfalls, lumberjack show, beach, and many other adventures.

Beautiful property and home
We had a great family vacation in this home. Quality time was on the top of my list of things to do and we got just that. Mornings spent together cooking breakfast together in the very accommodating kitchen, afternoons spent on the dock fishing or swimming (also rented a pontoon boat and spent a couple days out on the lake) and our evenings were spent grilling out and eating on the deck together and every night was spent around the beautiful firepit playing card games and making smores. Darren was very responsive to any questions we had prior to our stay and during our stay. Neighbors were friendly and my husband had a couple good chats with them while out walking our dog Bentley that was also able to come on vacation with us. I hope we are able to stay again here in the future.

Amazing house on a beautiful lake!
Our stay at this property was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for a treat. We were a little nervous coming from previously renting on a “no-wake” lake, but this location was so quiet and private! Morning sunrises were incredible. Highly recommend getting up early and taking your morning coffee down on the dock. We brought paddle boards and thoroughly enjoyed paddling into both ends of the lakes. We saw loons, eagles, deer, heard sounds of coyotes in the distance, a GIANT snapping turtle during our stay. The Northern Lights made a showing along with a sky-full of stars. We took a drive on a rainy day up to the UP to see the falls at Presque Isle Park. Absolutely breathtaking. And, the drive is beautiful! If you’re into biking, you can take 2nd street straight out, turn left on J and you’ll come right out and Winman and the paved trail system! The house itself is lovely and perfect for 6 adults plus kids. The kitchen has all the gadgets you need. The new griddle grill was amazing! The dock is sturdy and large with steps down to the clear water where you can swim out to an awesome raft. The firepit area is lovely and we loved the new furniture. Beds were super comfy, the fact that there is AC is a plus (although we didn’t need it). It is clear that this is Darren’s pride and joy! We are grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time there and are planning our return!

Great cabin on a beautiful lake!
Very nice cabin on a great lake. View is beautiful. Excellent outdoor area. Although a little small in the dining area, it served our group of eight people nicely. There is outside dining too. Very nicely decorated and it has a backup generator which is fantastic since the town power went out for a few hours. No electrical disruption to us at all. Great cabin for a family.

Winman Excursion
Beautiful cabin with plenty of room for three couples; you could fit more with the bunk bed and extra twin in the basement. We had a 10 month old and she did great, we found that the upstairs bedrooms muffled the noises enough if we hung out downstairs. Wi-Fi made it easy to work and I could get on my company’s VPN which can have issues on slower internet providers. We kept a pontoon on the dock, the Turtle chain is great, and you can get a 24ft pontoon through the tunnel between South and North Turtle. If you like mountain biking or trail riding, you’re so close to miles and miles of trails at Winman or the paved trails around Manitowish Waters. The fishing on the lake was great, the cabin was great, the sunsets were gorgeous, and the furniture was comfortable. We had a very relaxing week.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the WinMan lLakehouse rental, it was a nice, relaxing week for the two of us, just what we needed! We enjoyed the Fall colors and the collision of two seasons as we woke up to a light dusting of snow! Was so nice to have a fireplace on those chilly evenings, appreciated that as well. Many gorgeous trails in the area! Darren was a wonderful host, prompt with answering any questions, had great info about the area, was pleasant and a pleasure to talk to.
