The hardest part of a day at Reel Simple on North Twin may be persuading everyone to come back up from the dock. Our Conover lake home puts the water just below a wooded yard, with a long deck above the shoreline and a great room that keeps the lake in sight even when you're indoors. Bring the family or a few friends, pack the fishing gear, and give your schedule a little breathing room.
Inside, pine walls, exposed ceiling beams and a stone fireplace give the gathering space its cabin character. Make breakfast in the updated kitchen, settle around the dining table, or trade fishing stories at the dry bar. Three bedrooms and a sleeper sofa accommodate up to nine guests. The king suite sits apart from the queen bedroom and the bunk-and-twin room, giving early risers and late sleepers a little space of their own.
Three angler kayaks are provided for exploring North Twin, and the private dock has room to sit and watch the lake. Back uphill, the yard and firepit invite a slower finish to the day. Dogs are welcome with advance arrangements and a pet fee. There are steps at the home and a substantial stairway to the waterfront, so plan for trips between the house and dock; this property is not wheelchair accessible.
This home's arrangement makes good use of its wooded shoreline. A bank of tall great-room windows follows the lake-facing deck, while the separate primary suite has a log bed and its own bathroom. The other bedrooms share the second full bath. The dining table seats six, with stools at the kitchen island and dry bar providing other places to perch between meals.
The dock sits below the house at the bottom of a railed stairway through the trees. That elevation gives you two different ways to enjoy North Twin: a broad view from the deck and a seat close to the water on the dock. Private laundry, a dishwasher, WiFi and a Smart TV help keep a longer stay practical. Our snowmobile trail access adds another reason to visit in winter; ask us about the current connection when planning your route.
Start at the dock or take one of our three angler kayaks along the North Twin shoreline. North and South Twin form a connected lake outing, with musky, walleye, bass and panfish among the local fishing possibilities. Bring appropriate fishing licenses and check current regulations. If you're bringing a motorboat, public launches serve North Twin at Lakota Road and near Highway 17. Motorboat rentals are separate arrangements, rather than equipment included with the home.
For a change from paddling, head to Conover Town Park or Lakefront Pines Park in Phelps to join the Conover–Phelps Trail. Follow roughly 11 miles between the two towns on mostly compacted aggregate, with a paved stretch near Phelps. Choose a short out-and-back for a family walk or allow for the return journey on a longer bike ride; the full trail distance is one way. Parking and restrooms at the town-park trailhead make a useful starting point.
Looking for a sandy swimming beach? Torch Lake Park on Torch Lake Road has a designated public swim area, picnic tables and grills; there is no lifeguard. For a quieter indoor outing, visit the Phelps Historical Museum on County Highway E to explore the community's logging and local-history collections. Check its seasonal opening schedule or arrange an appointment before heading over. The Eleanor Ellis Public Library is another Phelps option for a book break and family programs.
In winter, Pioneer Creek's groomed cross-country ski loops start at Conover Town Park. Consult the current trail map to choose your distance and check grooming conditions. Snowmobilers can plan rides on the Conover Sno-Buddies network, using current club maps and trail-opening reports rather than assuming the lakes are ready to cross. Between outings, our deck's lake view asks very little of you—just a warm layer and a willingness to sit still.
