MURPHY’S COTTAGES
- FERN AND ASPEN - HIGH LAKE
- 2027

The cottages are north of Boulder Junction on Hwy. B. on beautiful High Lake
which 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. No ATV’s are allowed. A 14-foot
Alumacraft boat and a shared canoe are supplied with your rental along with
a paddle boat. Motors can be rented in town at Schauss’s. Your own boat can
be launched from our own private launch by 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 cottages. This is a well-maintained sandy
beach offering heavy-duty playground equipment.
Both living rooms feature a natural fireplace with wood
provided. All the rooms have electric baseboard heating and ceiling fans.
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 as TVs, DVD and Blu-ray players are at your disposal.
Regular TV reception with antenna can get some local channels. Aspen
features a pine-paneled den; you can enjoy a good book, movie, or just gaze
out at the activity on the lake, while Fern sports a very large deck with
picnic table for outdoor enjoyment in addition to the private deck off the
master bedroom. There are two full baths with shower and tub. Aspen and
Fern have fully equipped kitchens and both have Weber grills right outside
the cottages. In Aspen, both bedrooms have a queen bed and twin or bunk
beds. Fern has one king bedroom while the other is a queen with bunk beds.
LINENS AND TOWELS ARE INCLUDED, but not beach towels.
Please bring your own paper supplies (toilet paper and paper towel). Sorry,
no pets or smoking are allowed. We do not have access to baby
furniture. Unfortunately NO CAMPFIRES ARE ALLOWED due to condo rules
and safety regulations at the cabins. Boulder garbage bags, which are
provided for you, MUST be used when taking all garbage to the town
dump. AC(wall units) and basic WIFI are provided.
Take advantage of the wonderful restaurants such as: Bent's Camp,
(on the way to Land o Lakes), The Guide's Inn, Aqualand, Gooch's 2, The
Outdoor's Man, Headwaters or Boulder Beer Bar for a quick bite or great
pizza. The Shanty sells great ice cream treats and sandwiches. Smokeys
at the corner of Hwy K and W in Winchester is amazing!!! Skip the trip to
Trigs and shop right at Lakewood Market in Boulder Junction.
DIRECTIONS: From the south, take Hwy. 51 North, pass
through Minocqua and Woodruff. About 5 miles north of Woodruff, watch for
Hwy. M on your right. Take Hwy. M. M will take you into the town of Boulder
Junction. Make a left turn at Lakewood Market Grocery and gas,, continue
right/through / and out of town at Peeplures. You will reach the junction
of M and B. Turn right on B. You are now heading toward Land O’ Lakes.
Watch for a sign on the right that will read “FOREST LODGE”. Turn
right onto Forest Lodge Lane. Take this road towards the lake; go down the
hill, over the speed bumps, pass the beach and playground area.
