Escape to Northern Wisconsin at Northern Lights Lakeside Retreat, a brand-new lakefront home tucked among towering pines on McNutt Lake just south of downtown Minocqua. This modern cabin blends Northwoods charm with contemporary comforts, offering a tranquil setting where you can watch the morning mist lift off the water and unwind after days of exploring.
Inside you'll find an open-concept living space with cathedral ceilings, a wall of windows and a gas fireplace. A cozy reading nook greets you in the entryway, while the fully equipped gourmet kitchen features a large island perfect for gathering with family and friends. The all-season porch with its own fireplace extends your living space outdoors and opens to a lakeside deck. The main level hosts a spacious primary suite with en-suite bath, and downstairs you’ll discover three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a fun recreation room with foosball and a large TV.
The retreat is designed for up to eight guests with four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms and three full baths. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck while bald eagles soar overhead, sharing stories around the lakeside fire pit or splashing at the sandy shoreline, Northern Lights Lakeside Retreat delivers the perfect balance of luxury and wilderness for families or couples seeking a memorable Northwoods escape.
Northern Lights Lakeside Retreat is one of the few new-construction vacation homes on McNutt Lake. Its airy cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outdoors in, and a custom kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a huge island makes cooking together a delight. The entryway’s reading nook invites you to slow down with a good book, and the all-season porch with fireplace gives you year-round access to the sights and sounds of the lake.
Outside, your private slice of shoreline features a gentle, sandy entry into McNutt Lake and a dock for sunning or fishing. Six kayaks—including two sized for children—are provided so everyone can explore the crystal-clear water. After sunset, gather at the oversized fire pit to roast marshmallows and stargaze. Though the cabin feels wonderfully secluded, downtown Minocqua, local trails and family attractions are just a short drive away.
Step off the deck and onto the water: spend lazy afternoons paddling the provided kayaks around McNutt Lake, cast a line for panfish and bass, or simply float near the dock while listening to loons call. The sandy shoreline and shallow entry make swimming safe for all ages, and there’s ample space on the deck and patio for sunbathing or picnicking.
When you’re ready for adventure, head to the Bearskin State Trail just minutes away for hiking or biking through the forest. During winter, explore over 1,000 miles of groomed snowmobile trails or glide across fresh powder at the famed Minocqua Winter Park for cross-country skiing, tubing, snowshoeing and fat tire biking.
Families will find endless activities nearby: soar through the treetops on Northwoods Zip Line Adventure Tours, meet animals at the Wildwood Wildlife Park & Zoo, or race go‑karts and play mini golf at Settlers Mill. After a day of fun, refuel in Minocqua at iconic eateries like the Thirsty Whale or The Boat House overlooking the chain of lakes, and finish with ice cream from a local parlor.
For a slower pace, explore downtown boutiques, antique shops and local breweries, or embark on a scenic boat cruise on the Minocqua chain. With so much to do just minutes from your front door, your stay at Northern Lights Lakeside Retreat can be as relaxed or as adventurous as you choose.
