McNeil's on the Brule

This is a one of a kind opportunity for those who love the outdoors and nature. Walk out the front door and enjoy the famous Brule River in your front yard. A five minute drive down the road brings you to the shores of beautiful Lake Superior and the mouth of the Brule River.

This historic piece of property was homesteaded in 1893 with the current house being built in 1947. This well kept, clean four bedroom home offers three bedrooms upstairs and one on the main floor. The main floor has a quarter size bath with a full bath upstairs.

The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, bake ware, tableware, utensils and offers a stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. There is a gas grill available for your use.

Cable television and internet services are provided. Local phone service is available for emergencies and is capable of accepting all incoming calls. Outgoing calls can only be local unless you have a pre-paid phone card.

No linens are provided. While all of the beds have a mattress protector and a clean fitted sheet, renters will need to bring their own pillows, sleeping bags, blankets, etc. Towels, washcloths, dishcloths, also, are not provided. Throughout the home are beautiful terrazzo floors... bringing slippers is always a good idea.

You will love the peace and quiet this property has to offer. The soothing sounds of the river will relax you as you sit on the covered front porch and take in the beauty of this secluded setting.

Please contact us today to book your next vacation get away.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and a phone.

Annual Fishing Trip

I’ve always wanted to stay at McNeils and it did not disappoint. From the massive yard, to the cozy cabin. It lies right on some of the best water on the brule, so fishing is made easy. Truly a memorable trip and unforgettable cabin. It was clean and we had all the amenities we could need. Definitely would stay again!

Slice of Heaven

This quaint house nestled on the banks of the beautiful Brule River made for a great late fall getaway. If you want to disappear in the woods of Northern Wisconsin for a spell, this is a fantastic property to do so.

Great Place, Love Proximity to the River

Friends and I were looking for a place to stay and fish on the Brule River and found this fantastic spot. Even though there was alot of snow to make it difficult to fish, having a place close to the river like this place made the trip enjoyable. Plan on staying here in the future if available.
