About this chalet rental
Nestled on 1.29 acres with 150 feet of riverfront bliss, this is the perfect destination for your dream vacation, whether you're chasing snowflakes or soaking up the sun! Winter wonderland? Just 15 minutes from Granite Peak Ski Resort, or kickstart your snowmobile adventure directly from the property! Summer escape? Grab the 3-person canoe, hop into one of two kayaks, and glide right from the backyard into the scenic Wisconsin River. Don’t worry, we’ve got paddles, adult life vests, and all the gear you need to make a splash!
After a day of adventure, unwind around the cozy firepit tucked into the pine trees, sparkling with ambient string lights just steps from the water’s edge. Challenge your friends to a fun game of cornhole or simply relax and enjoy the river views. Fishing enthusiasts, you're in for a treat! The Wisconsin River here is rated A1 for musky fishing—bring your poles or hire a local guide for the catch of a lifetime!
Start your mornings with a cup of coffee on the spacious back deck while taking in the stunning river views and peaceful nature. Inside, the home offers 5 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, perfect for groups or families. Three separate living areas (two have smart TVs), a game room with ping pong and foosball, and high-speed WiFi make it easy to relax and play indoors. The fully stocked kitchen is ready for your culinary creations, featuring stainless steel appliances, a Keurig and regular coffee maker, and all the essentials for your group meals. Fire up the propane grill and enjoy an outdoor feast, with propane provided!
There’s plenty of space to park, with a large driveway that can accommodate three vehicles with attached ATV\snowmobile trailers. The laundry room with washer and dryer makes it easy to stay fresh, and we provide all the towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body soap you need to feel at home.
Come for the adventure, stay for the memories. Whether it's hitting the slopes or paddling along the river, this getaway has it all!

Kayak use was awesome for kids. Poor fishing in Wisconsin River with no bites at all (could be we arent good fishermen!). Absolutely loved the campfire set up with lights! Beautiful setting. We all enjoyed the corn hole. Sleeping for all. The beds were a little noisy and noted as a bit uncomfortable in the four-bed room. The rest were very comfortable. Hame room a plus. Loved ping pong. Air Hockey table wasnt working, but kids just putted the puck around. Would have liked a TV in the seating area off the kitchen, but all good. Kitchen stocked with basic needs. Host was great to communicate with.

Very pleasant house on a very pretty portion of the Wisconsin river. Layne was pleasant and responded promptly whenever we had questions.

Everything from prior communication and check in was perfect. The owners thought of everything for the home that a guest may want. I am told that everyone's beds very comfortable. The spaces in the home are excellent. The actual kitchen work space is small but manageable. There is a gate to the basement if you bring small kids. We had plenty of towels and supplies which was greatly appreciated. The backyard to the river and fire pit is long and you either have to take stairs or the side of the house it is a little difficult if you have a disability. (I was 2 weeks out from a pelvic fracture.) My family enjoyed kayaking and other outdoor activities. The deck is nice in the morning and you will also have gorgeous sunsets in the evening by the river.

This is our second time staying at this property. We love its proximity to Merrill. The large size also works well for our extended families. Lots of bedrooms with lots of sleeping arrangement options. We enjoyed a relaxing fire with s'mores on the banks of the river. A beautiful way to end our day.
