Summer has finally arrived in the Northwoods. We’ve had a tremendous amount of rain which has really helped the level of the lake. With the late spring, spawning has been slowed. The bluegills are almost done and the crappies have moved into the weeds near the shoreline.

Walleyes have moved into that 10′-12′ range in the weeds. Evenings are the best time to catch a nice dinner. Northerns are aggressive as always.

Quite a few fawns have been spotted along with young ducklings and other birds.

Fourth of July activities are right around the corner. Summer is going to be in full swing in no time. It is time to reserve your week and start making those great Northwoods memories. We have some weeks available yet. Call now to reserve your Northwoods memories.

We are now located on a 4-wheeler trail. You can access Vilas and Forest County trails from The Cottage.

It’s not too late to plan for your 2017 getaway.

We are already booking weeks if you have a special week in mind. Now is the time to reserve.
