Sunset River Vacation! Boat Dock; Pet friendly; Sleeps 9

The sunsets defy description in this waterfront cottage on the Wisconsin River. Originally built in 1896, a lifetime of memories will be created swimming off of the dock, watching the sunset on the patio or taking off on the snowmobile trail. Have a boat? bring it along! Put in in the nearby boat landing and tie up on the dock right out the back door. There is swimming off of the dock, grab a kayak, or throw a line to catch a bass.

After the fun, create meals in the kitchen, play carpetball outside, watch movies, play games or just watch the best sunset on the water. When the sun goes down, put some wood in the fire pit and enjoy the starry sky.

In the morning, while your clothes in the washer and dryer, try out the bike path along the river leading to a waterfront restaurant for lunch and dinner a short walk or ride away.

Whether in town for the Waterski Show, Golfing, Snowmobiling, or just visiting family, this location will be a great place to home base.

This is a well cared for older home in a beautiful location. Very restful and inviting. It is set up for fun as well as chilling out. If we had more time, we would have taken the kayaks out. The trail goes right to a great bar and grill. The sunsets really are lovely. Easily could have enjoyed an extra evening there. Had a chance to touch base with the neighbors as well as the host. They are good people to be around, welcoming and helpful. I am glad we choose this home for our travels through Wisconsin. Thank you.

Cute and Accommodating

First off I would like to advise how quickly the owners respond and how accommodating they were.The property itself is beautiful to say the least, literally right next to the river where we could catch large fishing jumping and close enough to a bar to eat out if needed.

I wish we could have used the property more, but the weather was cold, but the heat in the house kept us comfortable. The bunk room was incredible my kids loved it.

Great Family Gathering Spot for Son's Graduation from UWSP

Tims place on the river was a great place for family to gather and hang out for our son's graduation weekend. We were surprised at how roomy the place was for all of us to relax and enjoy the weekend. Too bad the weather didn't cooperate and we couldn't enjoy the patio and dock more, but we found the inside a cozy place to hang out during the rain. The paved walk path was great for walking the dog as well!Another nice part was that there isn't a lot of houses or traffic in the immediate area, and once you walk down the path a way, there are several nice areas to sit waterside and enjoy the Wisconsin River.
