Whether you prefer sitting on the dock enjoying the peaceful surroundings or taking a refreshing dip, the lake offers endless enjoyment.
The cottage features a semi-wrap-around deck, perfect for afternoon appetizers and relaxation. A well-equipped BBQ area and a picturesque yellow porch swing add to the outdoor charm.

Just outside the sunroom, a firepit offers the perfect ending to a fun-filled day, where you can gather around and share stories or simply enjoy the warmth of the fire.
Indoors, the cottage is designed with comfort in mind. The sunroom can be accessed from the front door or the open-concept family room, living room, and dining area. The ambiance of the wood stove creates a cozy atmosphere, perfect for unwinding on the sofa while enjoying the lake views. Even if you choose to dine indoors, the scenic views of Oconto Lake are never far away. The property owner is crafting another custom table for the dining area, promising more updates and enhancements to come.
The main floor also features a convenient 2-piece bathroom with a stacked washer/dryer, ideal for quick laundry needs during your stay.
