Echo Lodge - Mercer, WI

Whether it's summer or winter, a classic Northern Wisconsin experience awaits at this tree-lined home in Mercer, offering generous indoor and outdoor spaces and easy walking access to Grand Portage Lake.

This two-story home is located less than a mile from the heart of small-town Mercer, nestled between Echo and Grand Portage Lakes. The area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for fishing, cycling, kayaking, ATVing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing. Just around the corner, Carow Park features a swimming beach on Grand Portage Lake, a playground, baseball fields, a picnic area, and hosts annual events like the Fourth of July Celebration and the Lions Ice Fishing Jamboree.

Step outside to enjoy the peaceful, tree-lined setting. Take a stroll with your morning coffee, watch the kids play on sunny afternoons, or gather for a family barbecue around the gas grill. In the evenings, cozy up by the firepit for ghost stories under the stars. The outdoor gazebo is a perfect hangout spot, complete with a small bar area, TV, and window air-conditioning unit to keep you cool during summer.

Inside, the open and spacious interior welcomes you with a wood-burning fireplace as you step through the door. Relax on the large sectional with enough room for the whole family, enjoy movie nights on the smart TV, or gather around the dining table for meals and after-dinner board games. The adjacent kitchen is well-equipped with stainless steel appliances, a prep island, and all the essentials you need.

At the end of the day, toss your clothes into the washer/dryer, log onto the high-speed WiFi to catch up on emails, and unwind in the cozy downstairs den with games and DVDs. The home offers five bedrooms—three on the main floor (including a primary bedroom with a TV) and two more downstairs.
