Summary: We went up for an atv trip. The property is located right on the trail and right on a lake which makes for an incredible view, especially in the morning. The house and property were clean and cozy. Josh is very easy to work with and very responsive. Well done

Summary: We just completed a long weekend of fishing in Mercer and the surrounding area, and this location and home proved to be an excellent choice. the home is both comfortable and relatively clean, though it appeared as if a few minor items had been missed by the cleaning crew before our arrival inside the home. The rooms are all spacious, and the screened-in porch and firepit area were outstanding for the time we spent at the home. This is an excellent choice for groups looking for a fishing home base, a snowmobile trip, or UTV riders. We will be back as the proximity to Mercer and Manitowish Waters was hard to beat.

Summary: Wow is all I can say about this home on the lake. It is exactly what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of life! The home had everything we needed- lots of spaces to sit and enjoy the peaceful lake and wildlife. The Adirondack chairs by the lake were spectacular for sitting in the morning and afternoon with a coffee or drink in hand. Josh cued the deer everyday to give us lots of entertainment watching momma and babies bounce around the yard-so fun. Being able to walk into town was a plus- little sleepy town, but enjoyed what it had to offer. We biked the awesome trails and went to the Winman mountain biking area to churn it up. If you like mountain biking- Winman is your place. The house was clean and our bed was comfy- I haven’t slept that well in a long time. The view of the lake from the front room is spectacular and enjoyed the sunlight pouring in in the morning. The kayaks provided were perfect for a spin around the lake - fishing not so great- but that’s ok. All in all - we had a wonderful time and will definitely rent again. Thanks Josh!

Summary: This is our second visit, and we absolutely love it here! The kids have a blast feeding the deer and swimming in the crystal-clear lake, which is just a few steps away. Joshua's property is fantastic—conveniently located just a few blocks from downtown Mercer, yet it feels like you're in the heart of the forest. Plus, you're not far from Lake Superior, Copper Falls State Park, and Minocqua. We highly recommend booking this spot and hope to return again in the future!
