MURPHY’S/ASPEN COTTAGE ON HIGH LAKE
The cottage is north of Boulder Junction on Hwy. B. on beautiful High Lake. It is connected to Rush Lake, Fishtrap Lake, and the Manitowish River. High Lake is filled with pan fish, walleyes, and muskies, as well as small and large mouth bass. Besides good fishing, it offers swimming, snorkeling, water and jet skiing, boating and canoeing. A 15-foot Alumacraft boat and canoe are supplied with your rental. Motors can be rented from McCormack's Marina on Hwy. B on the way to Land ‘O Lakes or in town at Schauss’s.Your own boat can be launched from the main pier and docked at our dock. Fishing from the main pier or just our pier can bring some surprising results.
You may swim from the cottage. If you prefer a sandy beach, it is a half-block walk from the cottage. This is a well-maintained beach offering heavy-duty playground equipment and a large floating raft you can swim out to.
The knotty pine living room features a natural fireplace with wood provided. All the rooms have electric baseboard heating. From the large picture window, you are an arm’s length away from much wildlife: eagles, otters, loons, herons, and families of ducks. Bring along your favorite movies, or rent them in town, as 2 color TVs, 2 VCRs, and a DVD player are at your disposal. There are two phones. From our pine-paneled den, you can enjoy a good book, movie, or just gaze out at the activity on the lake. There are ceiling fans throughout, as well as box fans. There are two full baths with shower and tub. There is a brand-new, fully equipped kitchen and a Weber grill is right outside the cottage…or take advantage of the wonderful restaurants such as: Bent's Camp, The Guide's Inn, The Outdoorsman, or Voss’s Birchwood Lodge in Manitowish Waters. It is worth the drive for a Monical’s pizza or Tony’s Ristorante on Hwy 47. You can’t beat the burgers at Gooch’s A-One on your way into town. The Shanty sells great ice for a buck and cool ice cream treats.
One bedroom has a queen bed and twin bunk beds. The other bedroom has a queen bed and a single twin. LINENS AND TOWELS ARE INCLUDED, but not beach towels. Please bring your own paper supplies. Sorry, no pets or smoking are allowed. We also do not have access to baby furniture.
