About this property

Fantastic Sunset View, Privacy, Lakefront, Private Dock, Free WiFi, Cable-Mercer




****NOTE #1: If the week you are looking for is not available on this The Hemlocks Retreat cabin please check our other cabin. View of lake from every window, gas fireplace, comfortable seating and incredible sunset views - VRBO# 895375****



Unwind and enjoy the wonderful lake views from our fully restored and thoughtfully updated lakefront cabin at The Hemlocks Retreat in Mercer, WI. Towering hemlocks, soaring eagles, wonderful sound of loons. Mercer, WI is the loon capital of the world.

Flat screen TV in living room with DVD player.

Immaculate cabin just steps from the lake set on the tip of our private point. The Hemlocks Retreat is comprised of just under 400' of lake frontage. This wonderful location affords both sunrise and sunset views and your own private dock/pier.

Fully updated but maintains the feel of a classic northwoods cabin. We spent years restoring Lakewood Upper at The Hemlocks Retreat to provide a place of respite, renewal, comfort and relaxation. Lakewood Upper and the Hemlocks Retreat grounds are completely pet and smoke-free.

If you wish to stay connected while visiting with us, no worries, cell service is excellent and we include free secure wi-fi and cable (both that work as they should!)

The Hemlocks Retreat is managed by its owners, David and Angie, who look forward to sharing The Hemlocks Retreat and it's peace and seclusion with you.

****NOTE #2: VRBO has changed the rules so that only current VRBO guests can review our property. We have many repeat VRBO customers that book with us directly after their first stay as they feel they no longer need VRBO protection. It is frustrating for both of us but that is why you will see fewer current reviews on our site as they are not allowed by VRBO to review.

Here are a few comments from past guests of Lakewood Upper:


"Thanks, Angie, for making our stay so enjoyable. Can't think of anything we'd change about your beautiful home. We appreciate your sharing it with us!"


"Lovely lake views and peaceful quiet with eagle sighting during the day. Enjoyed drinking coffee on the deck and yoga on the deck."


"Thank you for letting us enjoy your home. Beautifully decorated and so clean. The fresh flowers were so welcoming. There wasn't any detail overlooked. Everything was in the kitchen that you could need. A wonderful experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."


"After many years of staying in a resort this was our first time on this lake w/o the 'resort'. We absolutely loved everything. You took care of everything before we could even think about it. We so appreciated you checking in after the storms. We will definitely be back!"


"Thank you Angie and Dave for having such a wonderful, clean, well maintained cabin! I love the fresh flowers upon our arrival! You have a top notch 5 star++ cabin and we thoroughly enjoyed our time up "North".


"Thank you for all the amenities offered at your well equipped cottage. Fresh flowers and cute night lights greeted us on our arrival. Adirondack chairs were strategically placed on the property to view sunrise and sunset - along with chairs on the deck. It's so nice to have a dock and be so close to the water. Thanks for making this a special vacation."


"So accommodating David and Angie!! We love your place and will definitely be back!!"


"Thank you for the lovely cabin! It felt like home. We really enjoyed our stay."


"Your cottage is lovely and very well supplied. Love all the areas to sit outside."


"Thank you Angie for all of your help to make our visit to the northwoods comfortable and easy! We miss the northwoods and we look forward to our return!"


"You have a beautiful place. Everything was clean. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us."

Cozy and Relaxing
Great place to get a way for a stay on the lake. Town of Mercer is just a quick bike ride away. The lake offers entertaining fishing, but not much size to the pan fish. Bass and nothern are plentiful but again...not much for size. Wasn't able to do much swimming and floating due to weeds and rocky lake bottom. Weeds pretty much consume the entire lake. The cottage is kept updated very well and offers geat accomodations. Host takes pride in making sure your stay is safe and enjoyable.

Hidden Gem!
This was our second stay at The Hemlock Retreat and we could not have been more pleased. The cabin is tucked away in a gorgeous location, extremely clean, and soo relaxing. The outdoor balcony faces the lake and we thoroughly enjoyed the view. The owner, Angie, is so very helpful and available for any questions you may have or anything you need. All of the beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is perfect for making family breakfasts before a day of water sports. Thank you for the wonderul family vacation in such a peaceful setting.

Family vacation
Our cabin on Mercer Lake was perfect! The owners were so accommodating and helpful. Thank you Angie and Dave! They even had a little compressor they brought the next day to blow up our floats for the lake. Cabin was super clean. Loved the huge deck that faced the lake. We had our own private pier. Saw lots of wildlife and fishing was good! So much to do when going to town as well. The surprise balloons/sunglasses for the kids made it even more special along with the fresh flowers. Loved it! Can't wait to go back someday!

About the host

Hosted by Angie, Owner

Host profile image
As my husband David and I worked to restore the 1940's resort (2 cabins now - Lakewood Upper and Lakewood Lower, once part of a larger resort beginning the 1940's) we knew we had found a special place.

It deserved to be enjoyed again by individuals and families who are looking to return to a simpler time. To enjoy peace and quiet. Eagles above, loons calling from the lake while in comfortable, updated and immaculately clean accommodations.

We look forward to sharing our labor of love with you!

Why they chose this property

My husband and I knew this property was extraordinary the moment we started down the tree lined driveway. Close to town but seems far, far away. We love that it's 5 minutes to grocery store, restaurants and more but you'd never guess when you are sitting on the deck or dock.

Original stand of hemlock trees is where The Hemlocks Retreat gets it's name. 400 feet of lakefront on our own private point provides guests the opportunity to see both sunrise and sunset views.

What makes this property unique

We have a new paved walking and bicycle trail in Mercer that extends 7 miles south of town. It connects with the Manitowish Waters trails. We encourage and welcome all silent sports fans. Our road is paved so bicycling is just one of the many activities to enjoy in Mercer, WI Loon Capital of the World.
