About this House

A little cottage and a lot of water aptly describe this 2+ bedroom, 1 bath property on the Rhinelander Chain! While its wood-sided exterior maintains its original charm, the interior features newer drywall and flooring throughout, including an updated kitchen and bath. The living room, kitchen, and dining area provide open space to gather with company on one end of the cottage, while the full bath, two bedrooms, and a third more open room comprise the other end of the cottage. The exterior enjoys a primarily level lot with mature tree growth, and the waterfront is located on a quiet bay at the beginning of Bass Lake, just on the edge of Boom Lake. Additional perks include a newer drilled well, newer septic system, and a newer storage shed. The Rhinelander Chain consists of roughly 26 miles worth of water ideal for pontooning, fishing, and all other full-rec water uses. If you're looking for a turnkey cottage at an affordable price point, consider this retreat on Riverview Drive!

    "There is a paper mill in Rhinelander. The mill releases pollution and about once a month I have a serious respiratory event when the air plume drifts towards my residence. The city has very low crime. Pet waste is a problem. Pet owners are not very good at cleaning up after their dogs. The medical facilities are good. There is an organic Food market which just expanded and offers meats, produce etc. which is locally grown. The surface of many streets here are in need of repair and have been patched excessively. The city needs a new water well and other major infrastructure renovations. The city does not allow small businesses to operate from home on the internet even though the State of WI allows it with a sellers permit for $10. All business activity must be in a commercial zone. The city has super services for senior citizens. There is a senior bus, and special low rate for cabs.($3) a ride. There are several senior programs to help the geriatric population remain at home ; Meals on wheels, and recreation at the Senior Center. It is a terrible landscape for biking. There are many steep hills and the bike trails are not trails at all. Bike paths are on busy streets until they reach a park setting. "
