Wintergreen on Boom Lake
About this house rental
Situated in Rhinelander, this charming house for £124 per night is a great option for your next trip. Enjoy our small ranch house with a walk out basement to bring you to the shoreline of Boom Lake, the heart of the Rhinelander Chain of Lakes (Boom, Bass, Thunder, Lake Creek, and Wisconsin River Flowage). It is considered one of the best fishing destinations in Northern Wisconsin. The surface water area is over 1700 acres with 35 miles of shoreline for boating, skiing, swimming, jet skiing, fishing, and snowmobiling! Small house (1800 sq ft) but very cozy! Patio doors that offer beautiful views of the lake inside the house and also on the walk out deck. We have a great firepit area to sit back and relax after a fun day on the lake. There is a dock to fish off of, or pull the boat up to. Items to note since they have been beaten to death to the point it is just annoying. Yes the water has high iron concentration as all homes in the area do. The water passes the county inspection, but it does have a smell to it. If that is an issue you will need to bring some bottled water, or please don't book. The seating in the kitchen has 2 high top tables. We aren't putting in a standard kitchen table. There are 6 total chairs. 4 for one table, and 2 for other. We do understand that this may not be your choice of seating, but this is what we like with the lay out of the kitchen.

The hosts were kind and warm.
Very helpful and detailed oriented.
The house was a rustic nice size woodsy place yet close enough to town for food and entertainment. The house was on a beautiful lake and the wild life was so beautiful.
Quiet and roomy. Even the driveway had room for several cars. Perfect!
Clean and accommodating!
Perfect stay. Perfect host. Perfect time up in the Northwoods! Can't wait to come back!

This place was absolute perfection! The lake is beautiful. The deer would come up and lay in the yard while we were out there. The game room is amazing, and the patio is even better! The table and chairs were also the perfect height ;). Mike is an awesome host! We will definitely recommend and stay again!

Absolutely beautiful home with great location. The view of the lake and the amenities at this house are incredible. The water in the home is definitely an issue so book knowing the water situation. Don't wash any light clothes here. The smell is very strong of iron so although it is cleared by the county - it is still offputting - we were fine with dishes and showers but didn't drink it. Half our family didn't mind it and the other half were really bothered by it. The hosts are so nice and accommodating and very communicative. The water is the only thing I could say anything negative about. Everything else was PERFECT!

We came up for our daughter's wedding. The check in was very easy and communication with Mike and his wife was pleasant. We had looked at the reviews and can't figure out why a few were bad. The house and view were amazing. The house is so inviting and clean, and we had a blast in the game room. We had a great time fishing and caught quit a few fish. The grill was clean and we grilled out all weekend. We used the firepit a few nights, when it got a little chilly at night. We will definitely be staying there again and again. THANK YOU FOR OPENING YOUR BEAUTIFUL HOUSE TO US!!

Overall good week trip. However, seating options were not good. Only chairs to eat meals on were 4 feet high which are not reasonable for older or shorter guests. And there is only 4 together so our group if 6 couldnt eat a meal together inside. Needs a kitchen table with normal chairs and enough of them to cover the amount of people you say you can accommodate.

Peaceful location on Lake Boom. Very nice for kayaking...stairs/dock at water's edge very helpful to launch kayaks. Love the fire pit, deck, grill and views. Comfortable house for 2 couples with nice amenities, including kitchen tools for cooking (perhaps could add a sharper chef's knife!) Easy check-in, excellent communication with the host. Would definitely stay again.

We looked at a number of places for my wife and I to stay for a short get away. This place was wonderful and it had everything we were looking for. You won't be disappointed if you choose this for a vacation getaway for the family.

When we arrived at Wintergreen on Boom Lake, we were excited to see the setting, but once we walked inside our happiness turned to frustration. We soon discovered that the house had not been cleaned very well if not at all and the air conditioning did not work. The outside temperature was 90 degrees and the inside temp did not go lower than 75 degrees.
One bathroom had dried toothpaste in the sink, dried urine on the toilet seat, the bathroom carpets were filthy and the floor was visibly dirty. Two of the beds were made with dirty sheets. There were stains on the sheets and hair on the pillowcases. It was evident that the kitchen and dining room floors hadn’t been swept by the crumbs that were strewn everywhere. The beautiful view of the lake was obscured by the smudges and fingerprints on the sliding glass windows. The downstairs laundry room had dirty laundry in the washer and the dryer was also full of clothes. We have pictures documenting this as proof.
After discovering the condition of the house, I called Kaye, Mike’s wife, and left a message to inform her that we weren’t happy. Since it was late in the day and too late to make other arrangements, my girlfriends and I began cleaning. We stripped down the bedding and washed the sheets and blankets. We cleaned and disinfected the bathrooms, washed windows, cleaned appliances, and vacuumed the floor.
Mike called me back and I explained the situation to him. He told me that new cleaning people were hired and he was going to contact them to hear their side of the story. But the bottom line was that the bedding and bathrooms were not left in acceptable condition!
Once the cleaning was done, we did enjoy the lake and patio area. When we left the next morning, we stripped the bedding and started a load of towels in the washer. We definitely left the place cleaner than when we arrived.
My girlfriends and I felt it was appropriate to be compensated for our time cleaning. We asked Mike if he would be willing to do so and I have not heard from him. I called one more time to give him the chance to rectify this situation and he did not answer so I left a message. Needless to say, since I have not heard from him, that is the reason for this unsatisfactory review.
Although the lake was beautiful and the game room had many options, I would not recommend staying at Wintergreen on Boom Lake because of the unsanitary conditions.

Communication with owners/property managers was easy. We had a wonderful stay, and our kids were talking about coming back before we ever left! Great for fishing the lakes and Wisconsin River. Would very much recommend.

The house was very comfortable with good air conditioning with outside temperatures in the 90’s. Enjoyed the nice pier to fish off of, dock our boat and lit also had some cool lights during the night. Inside the house we enjoyed Brunswick pool table, internet and having 2 bathrooms. If you stay and make your own meals you will probably be going to the store if you forget anything, because only thing in the cupboards for food were few spices and a bag of flour. No ice cube trays, so you may want to buy a bag of ice. Our last 2 days we had no hot water, Mike did come out late in the afternoon and tried to fix it. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Wintergreen on Boom Lake.
