You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

your own private beach Lakefront cozy cottage in a peaceful bay on 5 lake chain.

We invite you to experience our nostalgic lakeside standing log cottage; nestled in an area of whispering pines and birch trees. Our cottage is extremely clean and furnished with all the household amenities that will make your visit comfortable. It has a beautiful southern exposure and is a few feet from the lake. It has a its own small sandy beach and private pier.

Comfortable 3 bedroom feature, one queen in one 1 full in another and a bunk bed with full bed on the bottom and single on the top. The kitchen is equipped with dishes, cookware, coffee maker, silverware, full refrigerator, gas stove with oven and microwave. The Pinewood has direct TV premium package with HD TV and DVD player, and Star Link internet. It is also has a window air conditioner. For your outdoor enjoyment; the cottage has a large screened porch with an additional kitchen table to enjoy dining with the lakeview! Outside is a charcoal Weber grill, picnic table and large fire pit. The Pinewood will provide a wonderful family vacation get away without giving up the comforts of home. Across the bay the scenery is all nature completely pristine Pines and birch trees. The Pinewood was our original cottage before we moved up to this beautiful area. My flower beds are still abundant and make the area feel like cottages of yesteryear.

The Pinewood is located on Dam Lake (797) acres and is one of a five lake chain known as the Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes. 70% of the land is owned by the state of Wisconsin. You will be hard presses to find more beautiful scenery anywhere. Wildlife abounds in this quiet bay, bald eagles, otters, beaver, ducks, osprey are sighted often. The Sugar Camp Chain is also know for its fishery. Trophy Muskie (class A lake) Walleye, Bass, Northern, Crappies and numerous panfish are in abundant supply.

The Pinewood is also adjacent to the American Legion State Forest for those who enjoy exploring the thousands of acres of forest ..or perhaps grouse or deer hunting or a remote fishing trip. Whatever your season, you will relax in the warm and friendly atmosphere of this area has to offer. Are we booked? I do have other rentals available. Rates based on a family of 4.

Perfect family getaway

We stayed here for 1 week during the summer. Our stay was perfect from beginning to end. The cottage was well kept and clean on arrival. The water access was great for swimming for the whole family. Janeane was very polite and quick to respond to messages and calls. So happy we chose to have our summer getaway here and hope to come back

Small cozy cute clean cottage. We loved the area but forgot how intimidating during night, the dark winding curvy roads could be. But that is also the charm of UpNorth. The host was very responsive and helpful.

Nice spot for a young family

We had a lovely vacation at this little cabin. Our kids are 6,3,10 months. They enjoyed the small beach, fishing off the small John boat, and going down to the dam down the road to hunt for bullfrogs and crawfish! Jennean so sweet, she was quick to get the kids chocolate chips for our pancakes when she found out we forgot them!

Clean, simple cabin on a fantastic lake lot

We had a wonderful stay at the Pinewood on Pike Bay. The cabin is small and simple, but has 3 bedrooms and a full kitchen which was all we needed for an amazing stay on the lake with 2 adults, 2 kids, and our dog. The lot has a gentle slope to the lake, plenty of shade, a nice fire pit, and is situated in a quiet bay on Dam Lake. The place was clean and tidy, and Jenneane was accessible and responsive the handful of times we had questions or needed something. We'll definitely be back!

Yearly Fishing Get-together.

Rented this cabin for a fall fishing trip. Nice view of the lake and nice dock for our boat. Weather was warm for mid Oct. and affected the fishing for sure. Did catch enough to have a nice fish fry. The rent process went as it should. Had a nice time with brother and cousin.

Clean and Quaint

We have stayed here before and came back as we like that we can bring our dogs, and it’s right on a lake. We brought our kayaks. We will not be back for two reasons which are no fault of our sweet host, Jeanine. We are in our 70’s and found launching our kayaks on the steep hill to be a challenge. The other thing we didn’t like was having to walk and carry our belongings so far into the cabin. Again, we are not spring chickens anymore. If she could provide a wagon or something that we could load our belongings on, that would be wonderful. Request a deposit to use it so no one rips it off.
