The space
Your own private island boasts privacy. The island has a granite walking path throughout.

If you need to rent a boat, we have a nice pontoon for rent. Rental is $5 per day plus a $1,000 security deposit. (Separate rental contract required.)

Katinka Lake is a 170 acre lake in Vilas County. It has a maximum depth of 60 feet. Fish include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass and Walleye. It's a silent sport lake, pontoons and low-wake boats are welcome!

There are 3 outdoor decks with outdoor seating to enjoy lake-views.

Explore the lake with 2 kayaks, 2 stand-up paddleboards, a canoe, or our 12-ft. rowboat.

The lake is also great for swimming and has a small beach area with shallow water for swimming or splashing for the little ones.

Other things to note
Remember! This is an island, so you do need some type of water vehicle to cross you, your guests and your things.

Contact us to talk about a pontoon rental if you need one. We can rent ours to you for $5 per day plus security deposit. Please note that this is our personal boat. It’s a newer boat that we have serviced annually, and we’re happy to include it with rentals throughout the summer. While we have never had an issue to date, we want to make it clear that the cost of the boat reflects our desire to keep your visit affordable. However, we are not in a position to guarantee a pontoon in the unlikely but possible event of an unforeseen issue.


In the rare event the boat is unavailable, we can provide a functional “handyman” pontoon boat for transport to and from the island. While it’s perfectly suitable for transportation, it is not intended for lake cruising.


If having a guaranteed cruising boat or access to back-up boats is essential, we recommend contacting a professional local boat rental company for those specific needs.


Accessibility: Considerations must be given to accessibility (there are limited railings) and it's uneven terrain. From the dock, guests will need to walk uphill to reach the house.

Parents: The home isn't child proof, strict infant/toddler monitoring will be required given stairways and table/fireplace edges. While we provide baby gates, you are responsible for ensuring that your little ones are safe!
