About this house rental

Escape to the picturesque Nicolet National Forest in Northern Wisconsin! Immaculate lake home with frontage on all-sport 320 acre Silver Lake, the Nicolet Country Club and the ATV/Snowmobile Trails. Take in the Northwoods during all four seasons with the conveniences of home.

Home is licensed with the State, County and Town for short-term rental. As such, it has been inspected and passed all health and safety standards required. Rest assured that your health and safety are our priority.

NO PETS OR SMOKING ALLOWED!

Home is equipped with a 27KW whole home Generac Generator. Nothing ruins a vacation quicker than a power outage and they happen often in the Northwoods. Know that the heat and lights will always be on.

LAKE AND FRONTAGE:

Silver Lake is a 320-acre full recreational lake which allows water sports including waterskiing, tubing and jet-skiing. The lot provides a hard-to-beat swimming area for kids and adults with a level approach to the water and sand bottom past the private pier!

Make use of your own large fire pit, picnic table, benches, chairs, canoe, paddleboat, gas grill and a one-of-a-kind, must-see enclosed Tiki Bar just steps from the water.

Bring your hammock and attach to two sets of hooks in the mature pines. For those who want to rough it, feel free to pitch your own tent on the frontage. Fall asleep to the call of loons on the lake.

No better set-up for a perfect day at the lake with family and friends. It's like having your own private park!

Enjoy an Old Fashioned at a Wisconsin staple - the Supper Club. There are numerous dining options in the area that still identify with the tradition along with many iconic bars that sit on a lake, such as Johnnie’s Resort and Charlie’s on Lake Metonga.

FISHING: .

Silver Lake is a musky lake that offers good action year round. Enjoy fishing right off the pier for bass, panfish and the occasional northern.

Ice fishing is a great option in the winter months. Our tiki bar is an ideal spot to relax and warm up as you watch your tip-ups out on the ice. Plowed trail next to the park allows vehicle or ATV access to the lake.

House was beautiful and great location by the lake, we also had plenty of parking for all of our trucks with trailers for the UTV's. The neighborhood was amazing and so welcoming! Great gameroom with plenty of TV's to also watch football. Great riding and close to town if anything was needed for purchase for groceries or beverages.

This place is fantastic! Jeff and Julie were excellent hosts, checking in at times to make sure everything was going well and very quick to respond if we had any questions. This place is primed for multiple families or a large group of friends to get together and make some great memories, which is what we did with our family. Even in colder weather, we were able to enjoy the games downstairs and had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy ourselves. The lake was beautiful, and the proximity to the park across the street was excellent for the kids. The property was extremely clean (rated cleanliness 4 stars because one of the bathtubs had a drain clog, otherwise no concerns at all) and very well-stocked (dishes, towels, soap, shampoo, laundry, etc) for all of our needs. The wi-fi worked great and Direct TV allowed us to watch the Packers win! We really enjoyed our time here and hope come back again during warmer weather to spend some time in the lake!

Really great stay and really great hosts!

We had always rented in the Door County area which we really enjoyed; however, the property we typically rented was no longer available so we searched for another location that could accommodate a large group and discovered this gem located in a beautiful section of Wisconsin that we rarely visit. The listing is accurate, the hosts have great communication and a very insightful guidebook, and it was wonderful.
