Note: - Please download and read the rental contract before booking any dates. The rental contract can be found on the same page as you pay for the rental which is one of the last pages in the booking process.

Note: Here are some of the rules listed in the contract, but not all of them.
- SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED anywhere on the property meaning you can't
smoke inside or outside at this vacation home. Violators may be asked to leave
because our insurance will not cover damage to the property(s) related to
smoking.
- NO HEAVY DRINKING. If you have members of your group that drink a lot, (more than 6 drinks a night) don't rent this property. This is a place for families to enjoy not a place to drink hard and party. If the neighbors call me about your group or even just a member that is drunk, we may have to remove your entire group and you would loose the rental period and your security deposit.
This has never happened in 20 plus years of owning multiple rental properties but we have to protect our license to rent out the house and people getting
drunk and rowdy and bothering neighbors is not going be tolerated.
- No parties or inviting other people other than what we approved on the
contract or in writing. Email us for approval if someone wants to visit, it is
usually OK if its 2-3 people but we have to know and approve it first.
- No pets (this does not mean it is pet allergen free).
- Majority of the group must be over the age of 35, unless it is a family(s) or
father/son/daughter type combinations. Person signing contract must be
over the age of 35 unless we approve them ahead of time.
- See other rules we have listed in the contract before booking.
- From the third weekend in June to the third weekend in August, we only allow
7 night stays and they must be Sunday to Sunday. We also only allow the
week between Christmas and New Years to be booked as a week. The rest of
the year can have stays as short as 3 nights.
Almost a Castle on Lake Gogebic L.L.C. is a large, lake home on Lake Gogebic, a 13,000+ acre lake, famous for Walleye and Perch fishing. It is open year-round and is right on the snowmobile trail. UTV and ATV riders use the Forest service road system which directly connects to the ATV trail system. That road system enters the woods directly across the road from our property.
The house has over 4,400 sq ft of combined living space on the main floor and second floor. With 5 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a fireplace, and 300 ft. of shoreline.
We set a limit of 12 people but make exceptions up to 15 people if there are young kids . The rates posted are for up to 6 people. We monitor the number of people in person and with outdoor security camera's.
Our location has good wind protection because we are on the West Shoreline and behind a large point sticking out into the lake. This is an important feature on a large lake because the other shore (East Shore) can have really large waves, making it hard to go boating.
Come see this area's great waterfalls and beaches, ride ATV's, snowmobile, hike, swim or fish. Catch Walleye's right from our pier or shoreline and then have a campfire while overlooking the lake.
Bedrooms: The master bedroom is enormous and overlooks the lake. It is approximately 25 feet wide by 30 feet long. There is another bedroom that overlooks the lake that is about 25 feet long by 20 feet wide. Both of these rooms have a king size bed and at least one twin bed in case one of your kids needs to be near you. Two other bedrooms have a queen bed and at least one additional twin bed. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom downstairs. The downstairs bedroom has two twin beds and it's own bathroom.
There is a large living room upstairs, (33' x 14') upstairs off the master bedroom. It has lots of large windows and a great view of the lake. On the main floor there is also a living room attached to the kitchen and dining room with a fireplace all overlooking the lake. Together they make a great central place for people to eat and hang out. On the main floor there is also a rec room with air hockey, and a TV. There is a separate room just for playing ping pong upstairs.
Location: It is located about 20 miles North of the Wisconsin border, North of Presque Isle, Wisconsin. Minocqua and Eagle River are both about 45-50 miles away. This means less boat traffic, more privacy, more fish and a better price for you. We are directly on the snowmobile trail and this area averages over 250 inches of snow. That's is over 21 feet of snow a year.
Fishing on Lake Gogebic: Fishing magazines frequently state that some of the Midwest's best perch and walleye fishing is on Lake Gogebic. There are a lot of 15-22' Walleyes in this lake. If you want proof of that watch the MI DNR's fish survey online. It is called: Lake Gogebic DNR Walleye Survey Results 2022.
Michigan offers a 24 hour licenses online along with longer licenses which helps people pick the days they want to fish and buy them online with their phone or buy them about 2 miles away at a small bait store.
We catch fish right from our pier, but we also provide 1-2 fishing boats with electric trolling motors. and also canoes at no cost. We rent out an outboards if you want one. There are also lots of Northern Pike and some very nice bass in the lake.
Boat Landings: There is a free public boat landing (gravel) about 200-300 yards away. There is also a state park public boat landing 3/4 mile away that can be used provided you buy or have a Michigan State Park Sticker. The state park boat launch has parking, a cement ramp and a pier. The The lake is an all sports lake so you can use canoes, kayaks, sailboats, jet ski's and motorized boats.
Snowmobile and ATV Trails: Want to ride your snowmobile? We are directly on the trail so you won't have to trailer up once here. The trail system goes for many miles in all directions. Ride on the lake. You can rent sleds and ATV's from several places near our cabin such as Timberline Sports in Bergland. We have plenty of parking space for all your toys. We and many others use the small forestry road across the street to access the official ATV trail system. Most township roads, and county roads are fair game to ride on provided you follow the rules and drive responsibly. Get an ATV map to make sure you are legal and don't get lost in this vast area of wilderness.
Downhill and Cross Country Skiing: Downhill skiing is only 30-40 minutes away at places like: Indianhead, BlackJack, Big Powderhorn, Norway Mtn, Pine Mtn, Porcupine Mtn. State Park, (downhill and cross country), Whitecap Mountain, and Mount Zion.
1) Lake Gogebic State Park Trail which is 3/4 mile away from house and you can ski down the lake to access it. 2) Bergland Nordic trails 3) Porcupine Mtn Nordic trails 4) WinMan Trails near Winchester There are many other trails.
Waterfalls,Hiking trails, and Mountain Biking: The U.P. is filled with waterfalls. Some of the best ones are 30-60 minutes drive from this cabin. Hike along the Lake Superior shoreline. We really enjoy going to Lake of the Clouds which is in the first range of mountains from the shoreline of Lake Superior. That park has many miles of hiking trails with some leading deep into wilderness and others requiring little effort to overlook the Porcupine Mountains and Beautiful Lake Of The Clouds. Many people come to the area just to see the waterfalls. From Saxon Harbor North along the Lake Superior shoreline, there are many waterfalls to visit. Most waterfalls have trails, bridges and other improvements to help people view them. These tend to be great hikes for kids because most are approximately a 1-3 miles long and they have lots of fun walkways, bridges, terraces etc. for kids to run around on.
