About this property

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.

Short on sleeping area

We were surprised at the listing stating that it slept up to six people. For four men the room in the lower level that held two single beds was not enough room for our two guys. We were happy for the couch against the wall on the upper level where one of our guys slept all week

Beautiful cabin in the woods

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.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Buhmann

Purchased the Northernwood as a getaway property for me, my wife Cheryl and my two college-aged daughters in 2010. Still living in the Chicago area, but looking to spend more and more time in Mercer as we reach retirement.

Why they chose this property

The Northernwood is a perfect north woods getaway. Although not directly on a lake, it has shared access to Spider lake only two blocks away and hundreds of lakes that you could travel to within 30 minutes. Nestled on a wooded 3 1/2 acre lot on a dead-end road, it has all of the privacy that you would want. The Northernwood has direct access to both ATV and Snowmobile trails. There are over 200 miles of ATV/UTV trails in Iron County, and thousands of miles of snowmobile trails in Iron and neighboring counties.
