OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
"Mon Rave" is the name of the large cottage built last fall by Mr. and Mrs Otto Nurnberg and in which they lived through the winter and still have as their abiding place. The name means "My Dream" and was given to this home in the woods because it was the materialization of the dream cherished since girlhood by Mrs. Nurnberg..." As published by the Hamlin Resort News - Circa 1920 A bit about the cottage.
It is the original Nurnberg cottage from the early 1900s. If you are familiar with the Nordhouse dunes area you’ll recall the road that leads you to the trailhead is named Nurnberg. You’ve probably guessed by now that the road was named after the Nurnbergs, this cottage was theirs. It was one of the first cottages on the Northside of the lake. They built it before the road existed by ferrying materials across the lake by boat in the summer and sled in the winter. The Nurnbergs used it as a destination to vacation while in Mi. from Milwaukee and would travel over Lake Mi. using the SS Badger. We know this from many published newsletters where their events were written about. They loved to explore, fish and hunt duck and goose. This was a place to entertain with friends and family. So when you vacation here, think of the past, slow down enough to appreciate the history.
The cottage itself has NOT been updated with all the modern luxuries. It has however been "restored" and we’ve added a few conveniences to amplify the experience. You'll get the idea, unplug and enjoy the area and each other.
