Wilson Lake Island Retreat

Wilson Island Retreat is a beautiful home located on an island in the middle of Wilson Lake (Phillips, WI), part of a chain of four lakes connected, it offers above all privacy, and space in a serene quiet setting. This property has 550' feet of lakefront shoreline on a 1.5 acre parcel surrounded by towering pine trees. The large amount of shoreline provides you with great separation from the neighbors. There are two piers, they are new FLOE piers that are extra wide for stability and comfort. The main pier which we like to call the swimming pier is an aluminum "L" shaped pier that is great for swimming, boating and/or fishing off of. The pier is available from early May to the first week of October usually. Please check out the pictures to get a feeling of just how nice they are. The property faces west so you should get some pretty nice sunsets too! In the winter you will find ice fishing, snowmobiling, snow shoeing among many other winter sport activities right out your front door and in the nearby area. The driveway parking area is big enough for staging your snowmobiles, boats and/or ATV's too! Wilson Island Retreat is a true Northwoods gem that will have you coming back every year! Since we're located on an Island in the middle of Wilson Lake there is a private bridge that you will bring you across to the house, it's quite the charming entrance. It is a very sturdy bridge able to support a fully loaded fire engine, so please don't be concerned about access or weight, the bridge is solid. In addition to having 3 bed's & 3 bathroom's and 2600 square feet of space to spread out you will find outdoor two firepit areas (wood provided), kayaks, floating lounge chairs, a rowboat & a swim raft. All amenities are made available to you for all your water fun at no additional cost. We encourage our guests to bring their water or snow sports toys, we hope you will make our place feel like it's your own. The fishing is great and there is a local guide company that can help you find all the great fishing holes too with advance reservations. There are a couple free public boat landing's (launch) nearby, and I can recommend a boat rental company if you want to pick one up on your way up. The house is very nicely decorated for your comfort in a Northwoods style atmosphere, we have shied away from modern to keep it charming with a cabin styled feel. I believe the pictures explain this better than I could put it into words. We have taken three years to fix it up and make it what it is, now we are sharing it. Our home is being offered for up to 6 people, unfortunately we are not allowed to accept reservations for more than 6 people due to the conditional use permit granted to us by Price County. What I like about the house are the vaulted ceilings, all the woodgrain ceilings and walls and the new Mitsubishi air conditioning/heating units in the bedrooms. We put air conditioning in each of the bedrooms for comfortable sleeping temperatures on those hot nights. The floorplan has two king bed bedrooms separated by a full bathroom (w/tub) on the north side of the house and a third bedroom with a queen bed bedroom is located across the living room with its own newly renovated bathroom, all bedrooms are on the main level. The living room is an open great room concept overlooking the lake with a dining area and a wood burning fireplace in the center. The kitchen is fully stocked and overlooks the lake through a beautiful bay window with a good amount of counter top space and a countertop island. Downstairs there is a nice rec room with a walkout to a patio that is right on the water. There are two large picture windows downstairs that bring the outside in. The downstairs Rec Room has a comfortable lounging area for watching TV/Movies, another area for playing/shooting pool, throwing darts, playing cards/backgammon (game table) and a full wet bar (Wisconsin style) with fridge for beers and mixes, booze not included. In our mechanical room off the rec room is a laundry area with a brand new LG washer & dryer, detergent (Tide w/bleach) and Bounce fabric softener sheets are provided. This property is set up to feel like a cozy old school Northwoods cabin, but at 2600 square feet it's really a comfortably large house that is completely stocked. Hopefully the pictures provided and the reviews posted will communicate this as well. The house is equipped with two wood burning fireplaces, firewood is on the back deck for the indoor fireplaces. Please do not use the fire pit wood stacked out by the fire pit inside the house fireplaces, thank you. Two outdoor firepit area's, both overlook the lake. A Weber gas grill on the back deck with natural gas, no propane tanks to refill. It's an older grill, but works well. What we love about our home is that we have access to four different lakes and three restaurants/bars from the water that we can take our boat to or in winter our snowmobiles. One of these restaurants/bars also has a really nice 9 hole golf course that is a joy to play. We hope you will decide to book your next vacation with us at our Wilson Island Retreat and that once you've experienced it you will find yourselves returning frequently.
