Discover Your Private Lakeside Retreat

Welcome to your dream escape—Tipperary Point, a peaceful sanctuary on a true peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides. With over 1,000 feet of shoreline, you can take in both sunrise and sunset from the same spot, enjoying the feeling of a private island within a gated property.

This rustic Norwegian-style log cabin offers a cozy yet comfortable stay, featuring a nicely furnished kitchen and bathroom, three inviting bedrooms, and a charming three-season porch. The open-concept design includes partial walls between bedrooms (not extending to the cathedral ceiling), creating a spacious and airy feel. The cabin accommodates up to eight guests and includes a large deck for relaxing outdoors.

Kids will love the Rainbow Play System and the sandy beach/lagoon area, while adults can take advantage of the excellent fishing and swimming. Multiple scenic lakefront spots throughout the property provide the perfect backdrop to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Please note: The cabin is heated but does not have air conditioning. Lake breezes typically keep things comfortable, and fans are provided in each room.

Come experience the unmatched beauty and tranquility of Tipperary Point—your perfect lakeside getaway awaits.

The property is well set for making memories. July is hot and the lake is your friend for swimming and fishing. There is a lucky hot spot that our littles were excited to find.

Quintessential WI Lake House

We could not have asked for a better stay! The home, location, and beautiful views exceeded our expectations. The fishing was great, which the kids really enjoyed. The end of the peninsula is so private, we felt like we were in the Northwoods!

We had an excellent stay at this cabin. The property exceeded our expectations, it was secluded with lake views from every angle. Swimming off the pier was awesome and we had great sunset views each night. The cabin was also very nice and perfect for our group.

Love Tipperary Point

This is our third stay at Tipperary Point and they just keep getting better. The property is so isolated and beautiful. The lake water is warm and relatively shallow which is nice with young children. We can’t wait to go back.

Tipperary Point

This was our 3rd time here and it's always a perfect get-away on Tipperary Point. We really enjoy the feeling of privacy, as though you're on a secluded island at this property. Great scenery and the house has the feel of an "Up North" cabin. We will be back again next summer.

Four Generation Family Time

Large private property in an amazing location with water on 3 sides. Enjoyed water views from inside house from all rooms. House is well equipped for family fun and welcome basket was a nice touch. Grandkids enjoyed the play set and use of paddle boat. Would like to return when weather conditions were better for more water activities.

Family Weekend

We just returned from a long weekend at the Lakeside Retreat. The location of this home cannot be beat. There is water on 3 sides and it’s completely private, which was amazing. The house is a true “cabin”. It’s very cozy and has all of the things you need. The beds were comfy and we enjoyed the large deck and screened in porch. The only downside was that there was no AC. It was 90 degrees and even with fans the house was HOT. I’m sure in the spring or fall though it would be outstanding.

Location, Location...

We've stayed here several times. The house is simple. It has everything you need - kitchen, grill, deck, chairs, fire pit, etc. The only thing we tend to long is A/C, mainly to regulate the humidity a little. Clothes, pillows, etc. get a little musty by day three. We keep coming back for the perfect location. The location on the peninsula is too good to be true really. You see water out of every window in the home. It's like you're on an island. Great location for the fire pit right at the tip of the peninsula. Thanks again for another great stay.

Location is the main draw

Communication with Pete was great. The pictures were as advertised. The location, as mentioned was why this place rocks. I mean every sunset is just so pretty. The gift basket was a nice touch. The bathroom was sufficient. But I would say that the owners need to at least put some clarifications n the listing description. Kitchen says remodeled but doesn’t mention no water pressure, no disposal, no cabinet space for food and no dishwasher. It was very hard to find clean dishes from below or a spot to put all the food we brought in. Other piece of advice is the word “rustic” should be used in listing. We caught a live mouse in our room, there are spider webs everywhere and it’s just generally pretty rustic. Lighting was poor, fans old, no ceilings in rooms should be mentioned for guests with small kids because it was hard to sleep until the entire cabin went to bed. Overall a nice stay with beautiful views. I just think the listing description should be a touch more accurate so we know what to expect.

Quiet, Wonderful Outdoor Space, Rustic Lake Cottage, Live in Your Swimsuit All Weekend

This was our second stay at this property. Four adults and two teenagers. We booked it again because it's at the very end of a small point, so very private and quiet. We saw bald eagles, cranes, and herons. The owner is very responsive, the place is comfortable very well stocked with the basics, including life jackets, noodle floats, kitchen tools, linens and towels. Wonderful swimming and fishing right off the dock or off the point. Our teenagers could be found casting for bass and northerns in their jammies at 7am each morning until they were hungry enough to come in and eat. There are plenty of books and board games and the WiFI is capable of handling multiple concurrent zoom calls if you are in a "work from vacation" situation. Be prepared for a rustic lake cottage stay: no AC but effective ceiling and floor fans. If it's super buggy at night, bring your own small fan and extension cord and you can keep the bugs away. We had a little trouble getting the washing machine to cooperate, but figured it out. The place could benefit from floor lamps and/or soft white bulbs, but this also adds to the charm somehow. Due to the river feeding the lake, there is a strong current and wonderful breezes, but keep an eye on any young kids on floatation devices. This is worth the price, especially if you grew up enjoying lake cabins/cottages but now only get to do it once every few years. Highly recommend.

My family and I had a great time swimming, fishing, and sitting by the fire pit. Gorgeous views and water all around.

We absolutely loved our stay at this lovely cabin! We purposely chose this property for its cabin-like feel and amazing location, and it delivered! Water views wrap around the house, the grounds are well kept, the trees are mature, and the sunsets are spectacular. The inside amenities accommodated our group.

Wow!

What a great place to spend Memorial Day weekend!! The house was more spacious than we expected and was stocked with everything we could possible need. The property and the house in real life exceeded the photos!! We were afraid it would be a struggle with just one bathroom, but it really wasn't at all. Everyone in our group was very impressed and loved it!! Thanks for offering such a great place to stay!

Relaxing

My family ranges from 4 to 65 and we all had a fun time. The location is so peaceful we never head another person. The boys loved playing in the lake both at the dock and sand pile area. We never needed bug repellent as the breeze kept them away.The property was clean and updated. We had a wonderful time having Nerf gun fights with the boys, they especially enjoyed ambushing us from the top bunk opening towards the living room The 3 season room gave us the extra space needed for the boys to do puzzles and jump around (we removed several pieces of furniture to a safe location).My only suggestion would be to have another large frying pan and restock the first aide kit (fortunately I had a kit in my car to patch up the 4 year old).I will certainly consider vacationing there again.Thank you for sharing your home.
