Wooded waterfront retreat with hot tub & fire pit

Pine Island Retreat: Waterfront Whispering Woods 🌲

Nestled along a serene inlet of Lake Wausau, the Pine Island Retreat beckons you to a world where relaxation meets adventure. As you approach, towering pine trees greet you, painting a picture of nature's embrace that continues beyond our property, extending to the city-owned forested island across the inlet. It's not just a stay; it's an experience of being enveloped in nature.

Relaxation Retreat: After a day of exploring, indulge in some much-needed self-care with our 2-person hot tub. Let the warm, bubbling water melt away your stresses as you take in the surrounding beauty.

Backyard Bliss -

Deck Delights: Step onto our Trex deck, where evenings come alive. With an easy-to-light propane fire table, you can cozy up, beverage in hand, in one of the two comfortable rocking chairs, feeling the warmth while listening to the calming sounds of nature.
Patio Perfection: For those moments when you'd like to dine alfresco, our patio is all set. With outdoor seating for six and a top-notch propane grill, you're all set for a BBQ evening with loved ones.
Crisp Crackling: As dusk approaches, gather around our fire pit, complete with wood. There’s nothing quite like bonding over roasted marshmallows and starlit stories!
Water Wonders: If water is where your heart is, you're in for a treat. With our private boat pier, you can embark on a nautical adventure or take one of our kayaks for a spin, perhaps even paddling your way to the forested island opposite.

Digital Delights: For days when you'd like to stay indoors, we've got you covered. Dive into the world of virtual gaming with our X-Box game console or binge-watch your favorite shows on our large smart TV. It's all about choices and comfort.

Fauna Fanfare: One of the retreat’s most enchanting features is the abundant wildlife that graces its surroundings. From chirping birds to occasional deer sightings, the tranquil setting of Pine Island Retreat ensures a symphony of nature’s best melodies.

Here at Pine Island Retreat, we believe in creating memories that last a lifetime. Whether you’re seeking a quiet refuge, a family getaway, or an adventure-packed holiday, our retreat promises to be the backdrop to your perfect vacation story. We invite you to come, experience, and fall in love.

The Pine Island Retreat is licensed as a Wisconsin short-term rental under SSCZ-CVTKA4. Additionally, there are two security cameras on the exterior of the retreat (front door and garage), both facing away from the property.

Relaxing stay
Everything was fantastic. Comfy beds. Loved sitting on the deck in the mornings, watching the deer frolicking on the island across the canal. Well appointed, cozy accommodations. Extra blankets, towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, spices, coffee. Close to town, yet secluded. Would definitely stay again!

Extended Weekend getaway
Very nice, spacious property. We were able to pull our pontoon boat around to the back and dock it. All our needs were met, and I would highly recommend it!

Lakefront relaxation
We had a wonderful time at the Pine Island retreat. Great house to meet up with some old friends and have a relaxing evening catching up, playing board games, eating, and enjoying the lake view with deer and cranes grazing along the shoreline.

A Wonderful Stay!
We so enjoyed our stay at Jim's place. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and we enjoyed taking canoe and kayak rides on lake Wausau. Jim was an excellent host and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful spot. The views and convenient location cannot be beat! The home was tastefully decorated and there was plenty of space for us to enjoy a very relaxing stay. One of our favorite vacation rentals to date!

Rib Mountain Wedding
Property was just what we needed! Offered enough space for all 7 of us to stay comfortably and plenty to do included with the place. Easy to access the water too for fishing or just boating. Was super close to where we needed to go too. 12/10 recommend- only down side was we should have booked to stay longer.

Beautiful and Relaxing!
I stayed in this beautiful home with my son, daughter-in-law, and 2 1/2 year old grandson. From the moment we walked in (access instructions were easy), we were in love with this home! The furnishings are super comfortable and everything you need is included. The backyard and firepit were a plus and we really enjoyed all the wildlife we were treated to! Deer, muskrats, squirrels, and robins working hard on making their nests! The location is in a quiet and beautiful location, still central to all things in the Wausau, Rib Mountain, Weston, Schofield, Rothchild area! If this property is available, this will be where i stay whenever i come home for a visit!

Weekend Getaway
My spouse and I wanted to get away for the weekend and unplug. The house was perfect, although it would have been perfect for a family or two couples as well. There was ample space, kitchen was great to cook, house was clean, felt secluded while still being in the city. We drank coffee and watched the deer out the back window, and watched sun set in hot tub. We will be back!!!
