Sharp, crisp, open. The Wolf Den hides its glory when you pull into the lake house drive. It appears to be an unassuming home with a cute front porch-- and then you walk into the home! You don't need to travel far north to capture the Up North feel at The Wolf Den. The knotty pine captures that essence. The kitchen is large and open, with a nice amount of counter space, where you will be able to cook without bumping into each other. The coffee bar is tucked in an alcove of the kitchen. You can dine in the bar-like seating and have a cup of coffee for two (2), or sit together with a larger group off the living room at the dining room table.

The four (4) bedrooms are all tastefully decorated with simple pastels which feel warm and peaceful as you move about your stay. The Master Bedroom even has a California King bed. The other three (3) bedrooms all have Queen beds. The two (2) bathrooms are of comfortable size with recent renovations. Your laundry needs are also easy to meet with the washer/dryer laundry room.

The deck facing the water provides plenty of space too. It's an idyllic setting to capture all four seasons as you are surrounded by trees are mesmerized by the fall colors, peaceful lakefront in the summer, watch the snow, or the melting of the ice in the spring. The views here will always capture you, especially if you are soaking in a hot tub while taking them in!

It's a joy to be able to bring your special, four-legged friend(s) and enjoy the shared swimming space as you soak in those fabulous memories together.
