Private animal-free apartment above our attached two-car garage nestled in the forest and located on the trails. Plenty of parking for trucks, trailers, ATVS, and snowmobiles. Lakes, streams, and the Wolf River beckon fishermen and paddlers! Hikers, bikers, cross country skiers, and those donning snowshoes enjoy trekking the many nearby natural areas.

The space
This is 500 SQ feet of private living space above our two-car attached garage. The only shared indoor area is the entrance from outside into our breezeway which includes a service door to our garage, an entrance door to our Homestead (which we keep closed), and the stairway leading to the Suite. Plenty of parking for trucks, trailers, and ATVs/UTVs/snowmobiles. The Suite/Homestead is on a dead-end road, only about 1000 feet from a designated ATV route. A portion of Rose Lake Road is unplowed in winter, so snowmobilers have access to snowmobile trails. After the volume of riding the trails all day, you'll love the quiet of our Cozy Suite!

Guest access
During warm months (June-September), you can share our lake, dock and boats. We have an assortment of life jackets available, a row boat, a pedal boat, a kayak, and a stand-up paddle board. We also own two canoes you are welcome to use on our lake or on a nearby lake if you have a manner to transport them. Some guests have brought their kayaks, and we have helped with delivery for paddling on the Wolf River. We charge 50 cents per mile to a put-in/take-out point within 30 miles from here. And, of course, this service depends on our calendar availability. Our lake is small (3 acres) and does not have any fish other than minnows. Fishing (from a boat) is good on several nearby lakes.

You can also use our plastic chairs around the fire pit, a tripod for campfire cooking, firewood, a gas grill and a picnic table and porch chairs.

The yard is spacious for outdoor games (we have some, but bring yours, too!) and the forest beckons you to come explore.

Other things to note
Groceries -- Because we are in the forest, Ott's Cozy Cabin, Suite and Homestead are not near a grocery store. It's most convenient to pick up your groceries before you arrive or at least bring enough food to enjoy until stores are open, and it is convenient for you to drive 20-30 minutes to shop.

Getting here -- To get here, it's highly recommended you follow the directions given to you through our listing rather than your navigation system. Sometimes "most direct" routes are not the most sensible routes--especially in winter and spring! If your GPS tries to send you on Sauls Spring Road, please do not choose to drive this road. Instead continue your journey to the town of Langlade at the corner of HWYs 64 and 55 (you can put Mike's Service Station, Langlade into your GPS). Turn north on HWY 55 and follow the directions I provide elsewhere in this listing.

4WD -- Winter snows and spring mud offer some accessibility challenges in our neck of the woods. We do our best to have plowed access; but traveling in a 4-wheel-drive (or all wheel drive) vehicle in the north woods of Wisconsin is always a good idea for winter and spring and frequently necessary! Although Rose Lake Road and Hannah's Lane are plowed by the Township, the plow doesn't usually get to our area until mid-to-late afternoon. Please watch the forecast and plan your travel accordingly.

Quiet -- Although we don't prohibit alcohol use on our property; we prefer no drunkenness. We are a quiet, family getaway -- not a party destination. We don't allow fireworks or loud music. The frogs and birds singing, the shooting stars flashing, and the joyful laughter of families and friends making memories are what this place is meant to hold!

Tents -- Some guests have asked if they can set up a tent, camper or RV on our property. We consider this case by case and charge accordingly; so if you are wondering, please ask.

Pets -- Many people ask if they can bring their well-behaved, quiet pet to our Cozies. We do not allow pets inside our rentals. However, if you wish to bring a kennel to keep your pet outdoors or in the heated garage below the Suite, we will permit. We also ask that you clean up all pet waste immediately, and that you repair any unexpected damage your pet might create. Please obtain prior approval before showing up with a pet. If your pet will not tolerate being separated from you while you are in our Suite, please patronize a different Airbnb with a pet friendly policy.

A note about Covid -19 -- We pride ourselves in providing clean rentals! However, when you leave your home to stay in ours, you assume all responsibility and risk for avoiding contact with a virus. We promise, like always, to clean and sanitize our places after each guest departure. But, for your own peace of mind, if you wish to bring your own disinfecting products/supplies to do a clean sweep before you settle in, you are very welcome to do so without hurting our pride one bit. Here are some things we don't do:
1) We do not re-wash and sanitize the dishes. If you wish to do this before using them, please do. Bleach and instructions are located beneath the kitchen sink.
2) We do not take apart every board game and try to sanitize all playing pieces. If this is a concern, please bring your own games.
3) We do not treat rugs/carpeting/cloth furniture with disinfectant.
4) All sheets/pillow cases and towels are laundered after every stay. Top blankets are laundered monthly or more frequently if stains or odors are present. If you prefer to bring your own top blankets, you are welcome to do so (please insure they are clean).
5) Although we do launder pillow cases, we do not launder the actual pillows after every stay. If this is unsettling to you, please bring your own pillow.
6) We do not sanitize outdoor items such as canoe paddle handles, yard game box or content. You are welcome to bring your own sanitary wipes and clean these areas before use if that makes you more comfortable.
