Welcome to paradise!

SHHH...Mary's Lake House is probably the best kept secret in Northern Wisconsin, but it could be YOUR private vacation home on spring-fed Sugar Camp Lake. Just 12 miles north of Rhinelander, yet light years away from the stresses of modern life, Mary is opening her home to responsible friends who appreciate the love and care that has gone into her special place. Those looking for a serene and relaxing vacation should come and experience this slice of heaven in God's country. "From where we're sitting, it looks like you're in for the time of your life -- but let's keep this our little secret, okay?"

Relax and get comfortable.

Take in all that nature has to offer while enjoying the amenities of a modern home. Mary's Lake House offers comfortable, one-level living with lake views from most rooms. The spacious living and dining rooms are separated by a two-sided gas fireplace. Rest easy with three bedrooms including a separate master and all with comfortable, queen-sized beds. After a fun day on the lake, freshen up in two modern bathrooms with tub and shower. You'll love the chef’s kitchen with adjacent bar for socializing. Dinner is to be enjoyed at your own pace in the warm glow of the fire. And garbage disposal and dishwasher are there to help with cleanup.

"After dinner, I like to slide into the glider on the three-season porch for a front row seat to nature's concert of frogs and crickets performing nightly."

Nature is calling.

Hiking, fishing, swimming, bird watching, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and more are right outside your door. Mary provides two kayaks and a rowboat so you can enjoy the clear, “see to the bottom,” spring-fed lake. Anglers will get hooked on the northern, muskie, bluegill, smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing. You might even hook something as big as Mary's largemouth. We are of course talking about her prized SHEBASS! In winter, the midwest’s best downhill skiing is just a couple of hours away. And anytime is a great time to take a stroll to enjoy fish fry and other classic Wisconsin cuisine. Can't resist the urge to reconnect with civilization? Coffee, church and Internet are within easy walking distance, too. But don't forget to end your perfect vacation days with a nightly campfire in the fire pit on the lakeshore. "Star gazing and s'mores is some more summer fun for you to savor. Try saying that three times with a mouthful of marshmallows!"

Sugar Camp Lake is one sweet place.

This natural oasis is unspoiled Wisconsin wilderness at it’s best. Whether you’re angling for the big catch or kayaking with the loons, enjoying your own private sandy beach or roasting marshmallows in the firepit, you’ll soon know why Mary worked so hard to make this her special place. "When it comes to knowing how to vacation, I must say I'm admired by my peers, and my pier."

"I'll leave the stars on for 'ya."

The loons are calling and you should be too. Call or email Mary today (marnold@starkhomes.com) for current rates and availability. And reserve some peaceful vacation time at Mary's Lake House. Then, make your own special memories. “I like to turn out the lights, turn on the fireplace, and lay down in front of the big picture window and gaze at the stars.”
