Peaceful riverside retreat nestled along the picturesque Wolf River

This serene vacation rental nestled along the picturesque Wolf River is an ideal retreat for families/friends seeking a nature-filled escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you plan to spend your days indulging in outdoor activities (boating, kayaking, fishing, snowmobiling, etc.) or simply unwinding in the well-equipped furnished home, you won't be disappointed with the range of nearby activities, ample living space, screened porch, and on-site amenities. Come with your entire family and create unforgettable memories that will last throughout the year!

This expansive riverfront home boasts 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and over 2200 square feet of living space, situated on a peaceful road in Shawano County. With more than 400 feet of river access, you'll enjoy breathtaking views and the chance to spot majestic bald eagles and pileated woodpeckers. Stay warm and cozy with the indoor pellet fireplace or gather around the outdoor fire pits any day of the week.

In the summer, take a refreshing dip in the above-ground pool for some added fun in the sun.

On the first level of this vacation rental, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen complete with dishes, pots and pans, flatware, and glassware for all your cooking needs.

The master bedroom on the main level offers a stunning river view and direct access to the deck. It is furnished with a comfortable king-size bed.

The space also features two additional bedrooms, a full and half bathroom, and a spacious great room leading out to the large deck.

Head down to the lower level and discover an expansive gathering area with a bar, pool table, dartboard, and another full bathroom. There's even a three-season porch and an additional bedroom with two bunk beds (twin over full) for added convenience. Keep the whole family entertained with board games and books suitable for all ages.

Room for the whole family
We had a great week with our kids and grandkids. There was plenty of room for everyone, and the upstairs/downstairs separation made it easy for the adults to socialize after the kids were asleep. There's a big yard to play in, plenty of parking, fishing from the dock, canoes and kayaks, reading on the deck overlooking the river, and lots of games. The grandkids loved the pool. It's a short drive to Shawano for stores, restaurants, parks, and the lake. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely PERFECT
When we arrived we immediately noticed how well kept and clean everything was - from the yard to the house. The whole property was absolutely gorgeous! The owners were probably some of the nicest people I have ever met. They were so helpful and kind! The grandkids caught northern and bass off the dock, we all loved the pool and the downstairs area……. But most of all the deck and the view. This place went above and beyond our expectations. It’s so quiet and relaxing. We will definitely be going back.

Returning to my roots
Since I moved away, each year we return for a getaway in the Wisconsin area, generally the Shawano area. The property was large enough for our growing family and dogs. The picturea did not due it justice. So large and lovely area. We enjoyed trips downtown and to the casino. Many enjoyed the pool and the game room. Used the kayaks to do some fishing down the river. Our dogs enjoyed the large property and all the nature smells. My husband got to see his bear he has been wanting to see and broke some of his best catch records.Kim and Joel were great hosts and quickly answered any questions we had.

Just What We Wanted
From start to finish a great property and great owners. We did our annual family get away with 10 of us ranging from 8 to 72. Something for everyone. Plenty of room for us to spread out but still cozy enough that we spent time together both inside and out. So peaceful right on the river. Kayaks provided which we all used. Kids fished off the dock and caught a few. Nice above ground pool which we all enjoyed with the warm summer weather. Inside plenty of room for us to prepare meals and eat as a family. Nice living area upstairs and down. Played pool, darts and games. Nice deck to sit outside and chill while watching the river and kids. Plenty of beds for us all. Owners are new but they seem to be getting the hang of this quickly. Very friendly and helpful. They weren’t intrusive at all but were there when we needed them. A few glitches but they have only owned the property a couple months, I see this place getting nothing but better. We hope to return with either family or friends next year. Lots of memories made at this wonderful property. Thanks so much Kim and Joel.

Great Place on a Great River
A great place that offers a large vacation property with a wide variety of amenities and activities right on the wolf river with a beautiful view. Additionally it is a short drive to Shawano and surrounding areas and adventures. We met Kim right away when we arrived who was friendly and able to give us a quick yet thorough overview of this well organized and clean property. My friends and I had a great time and would recommend to anyone, the pictures do not do it justice.

Christmas 2022 a wrap!
My husband and I gift a week/weekend away with our kids, spouses and grandkids, each Christmas. Kim and Joel's property did not did not disappoint with a huge open floor plan, plenty of sleeping space And an awesome play area both inside and out. We took advantage of the pool and rented their pontoon for a day as well. One of our grandsons caught a 4+ pound bass, which was pretty cool to watch him reel in! Communication was great all around having shared a potential issue with the well in advance of our stay was so appreciated as one of our daughters is expecting, even though we didnt have any issues the communication was still really appreciated. The property is easy to get to, quiet and private. Shawano is a short drive, we didnt eat at any restaurants but did notice a fair number that we would have visited had we not had other arrangements. This was the first time we have rented where the property owners were on site, again not a problem or awkward with the massive space you really felt you were there with just your own group. We loved our stay and the memories we made for Christmas 2022 are in the books! We would definitely do a return visit!

Beautiful location and well kept house
We loved everything about our stay. We were a big group of 10 people and two dogs. House is well kept and kitchen is fully equipped with all the cooking essentials and appliances. Property is beautiful and backyard has a scenic background of wolf river which is also very quiet with lots of privacy. Kim and her family were very friendly and helpful. Kids and adults both loved spending time in the pool. Dogs loved going for a swim in the river and walking on property grounds. Deck has a nice gas grill where you can spend your evenings soaking up the view over some beer and burger. There was some issue with the water pressure and water quality due to some issues with the well water but owners told us that are in the process of getting that fixed. I’d recommend this place for family or friends or just couples as well. Also, the basement has a nice bar, pool table, darts and tons of board games that everyone in our group enjoyed.

This property is in a quiet and serene area on the Wolf River - beautiful any time of year, I'm sure!
