Pufall's Pond is at the very top of Wisconsin. It's 6 miles from Lake Superior and 15 miles west of Ironwood, MI - Hurley, WI. It takes about 7 1/2 hrs to get there but is a simple drive of mostly 4 lane roads. From the pond there is relatively convenient access to Lake Superior beaches and Saxon Harbor, many waterfalls, the Porcupine Mountains, UP downhill and cross-country ski areas, and Bayfield National Shoreline and Apostle Islands. The pond itself is about 4 acres of wildlife, a couple boats for paddling, and beautiful scenery. There's no phone, iffy cell phone service and no internet or TV. The a-frame home has 3 small bedrooms plus a loft, two bathrooms with showers, laundry alcove, and basement with ping pong table! It's simple and nice but not perfect :). That's Pufall in case you're wondering. Want another opinion? Mention Pufall’s Pond to Jennifer Spacek.
Week of July 17-24 (arrive Sunday evening, leave Saturday eve. or Sunday morning)
two weeks in August: 14-20 and 21-27.
Fall and Winter are not scheduled yet, except for the weeks before and after New Year's, so the winner can make suggestions. Both are glorious times up there, especially winter: cross-country and downhill skiing, snowmobiling, snow, snow, snow!
Bid high, because while cell-phone service is iffy, peace, quiet and re-connecting with loved ones is guaranteed.
