We believe everyone benefits from having a place that encourages reflection, creativity, and restoration. Nestled on a quiet lake in Wisconsin's Northwoods, The Merry Muskie has become that place for our family, and we are grateful to share it with others seeking a similar experience. Whether you're on sabbatical, conducting research, writing, creating, working remotely, or simply looking for a quieter season of life, we hope you'll find both comfort and inspiration here. Thoughtfully furnished for extended stays, the home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a cozy loft, a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, high-speed internet with a Verizon cellular signal booster, a private sauna, and a bright lake-facing sunroom that has become our favorite place to read, work, or enjoy a morning cup of coffee. Outside, you'll find a private shoreline, kayaks, a fire pit, abundant wildlife, and the peaceful beauty of Wisconsin's Northwoods in every season. While the setting feels wonderfully secluded, the welcoming town of Mercer and nearby communities provide everyday conveniences, regional hospitals, and year-round recreation within an easy drive. More than anything, we hope The Merry Muskie offers a place to settle in, slow down, and enjoy the quieter rhythm of lake life—a place where meaningful work and meaningful rest can exist side by side.
