Private & Quaint Cabin in Mercer. Close To Town With Many Northwoods Amenities.

The Northernwood is an ideal cabin for the adventurous couple or family. Three bedrooms (two bedrooms with queen size beds and one with two twin beds), two baths, great room, washer/dryer, fireplace and outdoor fire pit all add to the comfort/charm of your north woods experience (firewood is not guaranteed, you can pick some up in town). Fully equipped kitchen with coffee maker, ice maker and microwave. Over three acres on a dead-end road provides you with privacy even though you are less than four miles from the quaint town of Mercer with its many shops, restaurants and other amenities. There is direct access to both snowmobile and ATV/UTV trails, and only 2 blocks from shared access to Spider Lake. Two single kayaks are also available for your use.

We had 4 people there and it fit us just perfect. Bill was very available every time we had questions prior to us going there. Had a great time. Made use of the grill and fire pit outside. Very quiet location and very little traffic for a peaceful stay. But yet close enough to town to enjoy the area.

Overall we had a great time. The place was nice, great fire pit, secluded even though you could barely hear the neighbors you couldn’t see them at all. I would have liked it to be a little cleaner.

Family vacation

This was a yearly vacation. The house was very nice. Decorated really well. There could have been more towels, but we did wash a load. Any problems we had were quickly resolved. Came for golf and fishing. Had 1 day of rain so went shopping. Restaurants were all friendly.

Excellent WI Northwoods getaway

Very neat and tidy cabin located just outside Mercer, WI. It was as described and the owner gave us some nice recommendations for dining out. The main living area combined with the kitchen made for a super cozy and inviting place to relax and play some cribbage. Overall, great stay.

We completely enjoyed our stay at this quiet cabin in the woods. It was clean with all the amenities you would need. The kids enjoyed the kayaks that were available. We were also thankful for the AC as our stay was in August. We would definitely consider staying here again.
