Mercer Wisconsin Vacation Cottage, Cabin, Lodging Rental on the Turtle Flambeau Flowage

Welcome to the Flambeau Vista Retreat, LLC!

The retreat is comprised of two cabins, Flambeau Vista 1 (900 square feet of living space) and Flambeau Vista 2 (1,300 feet of living space).

See the bottom of our rates page for May - August 2008 availability information. Click on the Contact Us page to see guest comments.

Flambeau Vista 1, a full-log structure, was built in the 1940's and remodeled in 2000 to include a split-log addition containing a kitchen, bathroom, and screen porch. The cabin has many modern-day conveniences with the rustic charm of an old-fashioned vacation cottage.

Flambeau Vista 2 opened the summer of 2007. This cabin is larger than Flambeau Vista 1, with an addition including two bedrooms, a large loft and a bathroom. The original interior space received a facelift on the  open concept kitchen, living & dining area and a large screen porch. The cabin has many of the features of Flambeau Vista 1. This cabin was originally built in the late 1930's and has rustic features with many modern comforts.

Located on Lake Bastine, one of the natural lakes encompassed by the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage, Flambeau Vista is truly a top-notch year 'round vacation retreat!

SPRING: Spring and early summer are particularly dramatic times to explore the regions 12 waterfalls. Some cascading over 90 feet!  With more than 200 inches of snowfall most years, the melt engorges the region's  rivers. Open water fishing season begins May 3, 2008.  
 
SUMMER: Summer brings spectacular fishing, boating, swimming and other outdoor activities. Our summer guests are given the opportunity to reserve the same week the following summer. We have a high satisfaction rate with 60% of our guests placing a reservation for the following summer. 
 
FALL: The months of September, October and November are perfect for late season fishing. The grouse hunting in 2007 was good and is expected to continue that way in 2008 with an increasing population. Hunt and photograph small & large game on acres of nearby public land. Ruffed Grouse drumming counts are high and Whitetail Deer numbers are up. Roam the trails and backroads viewing fall colors from your ATV, bike or auto. Fall colors will begin to show in early September and peak around October 1st.  
 
WINTER: Iron County has over 450 miles of snowmobile trails connecting directly to trails in several other counties. You can access the trails directly from our door. Cross-country ski trails are located nearby and ice anglers can watch tip-ups from the cabin. Reserve now for prime winter dates and request the NO SNOW GUARANTEE. If the trails are closed due to a lack of snow your deposit will be refunded in full. With an average annual snowfall of over 200 inches you are most likely guaranteed ample snow cover for outdoor activities! The 2007-8 snowmobile season began in mid-December and riders were out on the trail through March 31st! Thanks for the great season!

We thank our guests for being our best spokespeople and for giving us the opportunity to share the awesome Turtle Flambeau Flowage experience with them throughout the seasons! Some of the comments touch our hearts, some make us laugh and others just make us wonder!

We had a wonderful family vacation in the Northwoods. The cotrtges were beautiful and so cozy. Our families enjoyed snowmobiling during the day, sledding down the hills with the kids or just hanging out playing games. Our evenings were spent making meals and all sitting together reflecting on our day and family stories. We look forward to our next trip up here with more family. From our family to yours - thank you! 2/3/08 

- 22 on the Reinhard's porch...but the car started...so all is well & cozy! We, & our part-time guests have had a great week. you provided us all the "small things" which make a stay so pleasant after discovering that the mouse in the kitchen wall was really the fish clock chiming the hour, Ginny let me put the spatula away & come into the living room with everyone else! Our best to you & many thanx! 1/19/08 

 A big greetings from Europe. I and Dan had the most lovely time in the Reinhard's cabin. Thank you for such a nice opportunity to spend our holiday in your unique, cozy cabin with such warm, romantic environment. I like a lot the design of your cabin. Keep going like that and we are looking forward to spend our free time again in such a lovely cabin like yours. A big hug from Belgium. 30/12/2007

Your cabin is really cozy. We love your fireplace. The loft is so cool. Our whole family loved staying here. Thank you! Poynette, WI 12/29/07

Another great hunting season at Flambeau Vista 1. Looking forward to Flambeau Vista 2 next year. You really make it feel like home here! See you next year :) P.S. Thanks for making my first hunting trip feel like home. DePere, Wisconsin 11/24/07

You got it right when you redesigned "the cabin" and kept the original "bones". It is a special place! The setting didn't hurt either! Getting up in the morning and seeing the mist and reflection of the trees over the water is one of the things I will remember. Thank you Kathy & Scott for providing a memorable environment for a much needed R & R. Appleton, WI 10/12/07

We totally enjoyed the beauty of this cabin & the gorgeous lake & setting. The cabin has all the amenities you need - all the details & decorating - you know Kathy & Scott put a lot of time into this place. Remember to hold hands up here! P.S. I'm glad Kathy is a "neatnik"! 9/7/07

As usual, we are packed up and we must be on our way home but wishing we could stay. So beautiful and peaceful up here. Thanks so much for the use of your cabin again. I finally got to see the kingfishers I hoped to see. The canoe is a GREAT addition to everything else. I loved early morning (6 AM) rides across to the inlet to watch the loons and kingfishers, turtles and muskrats. Even seen a muskrat nest. Saw the osprey nest and watched the babies out flying. Hummingbirds and other various sm. animals are always fun to watch. See you next year. Dixon, IL 8/4/07 

Flambeau Vista 2 exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful week filled with swimming, fishing, camp fires under the stars, wildlife, and plenty of rest and relaxation. The local festivals were fun too. You have a beautiful place here with its "up north" decor and the kids loved having their own beds up in the loft. It was great to see you again and we will be back next year. Thanks again. Racine, WI 8/4/07

The cabin is beautiful and spacious too! We loved having room to relax. Our #1 goal for this trip was to catch a ton of fish for many meals & with hopes of having extra tor the freezer to enjoy back home. Well, our efforts netted a whopping 4 fish! and a small handful of bites. We managed to split the 8 filets amongst 6 hungry mouths, & the freezer will have to remain empty until 2008. Since the fishing was slow, we enjoyed many late nights on the porch playing cards and SCRABBLE. (What a wonderful family bonding experience.) Our dogs also loved the vacation, especially jumping off the dock & hours of swimming. Thanks for all the accommodations! LaCrosse, Sun Prairie & LaFarge, WI 7/21/07 

The doctor ordered an R & R and we were lucky to find the perfect place to rest. The cabin reminded us of a lake home we used to have. We've never stayed at a place with all the comforts of home. On the flowage it reminded us of Canada w/ beautiful wilderness and sounds and sights of the wild, especially the loon and birds, and bald eagle in flight. Dan had fun with the catch and release small mouth bass and musky. Our last night was spent at the campfire visiting with the neighbor in FV2. Scott & Kathy, thanks for your hospitality. God willing we will be back. Pewaukee, WI & Palatine, IL 6/2/07

We had great great weather in "mud month" temps approximately 50 degrees. Enjoyed walks along with the rocks and the boys were in heaven riding bikes around here! Your cabin is great - your new cabin is going to awesome too. Thanks again. Duluth, MN 4/13/07 P.S. We saw the walleye spawning. Scott took us there. It was cool. When we went to the big rock we cont get on the big rock. So my dad said to put my foot on his hand and crol on the rock. It was cool.  

Thank you for the use of your beautiful cottage. We all had a great time snowmobiling, sledding, x-country skiing and just being together. You have a beautiful piece of property. The boys loved the loft :). Hope to see you again. 3/9/07

Had a great stay. Everyone in the area was very nice and polite. The trail conditions were fair! Had a great time on trail #10 & #17, not so much fun on #9 or #12 (kind of got lost) Ha..Ha,, Can't wait to come back. Thanks for a great place to stay. Saint Joseph, Illinois 1/15/07

 We had a great get-a-way. The cabin was perfect. Took a trip to Copper Falls. We enjoyed the great view of the lake and the wildlife. We would come back in a heartbeat. Happy New Year! Arlington, Wisconsin 1/3/07

 

The cabin was awesome, the best one we have stayed in for deer season. We had 2 guys from our group get a deer. We all had fun and hope to make it up again next year. 11/24/06

 

We enjoyed a beautiful fall weekend. We caught a lot of fish in the Beaver Flats on Friday and several nice fish on Saturday. We loved the cabin and enjoyed the surroundings. This was the first trip my brother and I took with our dad in quite some years. Hopefully we’ll be back next year. We had an awesome trip. Thanks for everything. Muskego, Wisconsin. 10/7/06

 

We never fished the flowage but we’re glad we came here! The fishing was really good, walleye, crappie, perch, rock bass & northern. We had to work for them though. This cabin is so comfortable & so beautiful. All the comforts of home. Racine, Wisconsin. 9/23/06

 

This was our second stay at the Flambeau Vista Retreat, and it was just like we remembered. Neil worked on his woodcarving project, and I on a cross-stitch project. Our three cockers, Daisy, Cocoa & Lady enjoyed lounging around and barking at the ducks and deer we saw on our walks. As last year, it was very quiet here – which was appreciated. Sheboygan, Wisconsin. 8/26/06

 

The weather was perfect, especially the rain during the night! The three weeks were relaxed and rejuvenating – especially for the fisherman. I read a lot of your books & enjoyed the quiet and lovely surroundings. We perhaps will see you next year, but as a number of our elder friends say – “We don’t buy green bananas anymore”. Thank you for a great three weeks. Louisville, Kentucky. 7/28/06

 

Our group has been around to a lot of places over the last 20+ years, recently staying at Flambeau Vista on the TFF, awesome place, and the owners are the best. Scott stops by to see how things are and shoot the bull for awhile. I think he's such a happy guy because of Kathy! Hahahaha! One of our best experiences! Plus the fishing is great. Oconomowoc, WI. 5/20/06

 

Our Valentine weekend – the scenery is beautiful! Our snowmobile trip was exciting and adventuresome. The trails were awesome! So although we spent more time on the trails – it was comforting to come back to a warm and cozy cabin. Thanks for sharing your “Up North” with us! McHenry, Illinois. 2/13/06
