Lakefront Property

The only thing you’ll appreciate more than the scenery is the spacious lakefront yard. Located on a prime section of the lake you’ll have a front row seat to lake life. Enjoy the charm of a large, flat lakefront yard that is tucked into the wooded shoreline of Big Blake Lake creating an oasis for your family. Morning fishing from a private dock, hot summer days out on the lake anchored for swimming, long afternoons of yard games and evening campfires is how your family will make memories on your next lake vacation. The south side of the dock is groomed and set up for launching the kayaks and canoe. The north side of the dock is kept natural for health of the lake and fish, there will be plants growing along the shoreline and in the water. There is no swimming/wadding on the north side of the dock. Lake swimming is best from the pontoon anchored out on the lake however many guests enjoy swimming off the end of the dock where we groom weekly and the swim raft is located.

What is a day at the lake without a boat?

Treat your family to early morning fishing, afternoons out on the lake swimming and sunset boat cruises. We'll have a pontoon gassed up and waiting for you at the dock.

Cabin Life.

Well appointed and fully furnished this clean and spacious cabin has just about everything your family will need for a memorable vacation. Just in case you're worried you'll run out of things to do at the lake the great room is where a pool table, arcade table with 60 games, seating for the group, 50" TV, WiFi and Netflix are located. A fully stocked kitchen makes preparing meals easy and convenient while at the lake. Kitchen amenities include dishes, silverware, pots & pans and small appliances including a toast, microwave, toast oven, coffee maker, griddle, blender, crock pot and hand mixer. 5 bedrooms sleep 12 guests in 4 king and 4 twin beds.

Quiet post-Labor Day retreat.

Enjoyable. Nice setup for large groups. The included pontoon was a big plus. Need a little larger table on the deck for meals, and an umbrella for shade on the deck would help. Liked the large beautiful lakefront yard and view. Neighborhood dead end street with its slow traffic was pleasant for walking.

Great place!

This was a favorite among different family members. It has a good layout, great yard and 4 king size beds. My only complaints would be that the yard really needed to be mowed, and the 5 the bedroom was open to the upstairs which allowed sound and light to wake up those belong. It's not really an enclosed bedroom, but an open room used as a bed room. Overall, great experience though

Great Stay For Our Family!

House was clean and well-appointed. We loved our time there. A couple of things that you might want to know: There is one small restroom on each floor, which feels a bit lacking especially on the main floor if you are filling up the space with people. You will have to be willing to negotiate everyone's bathroom needs. If I were going to schedule a longer stay this would for sure feel like an issue for our family. Secondly we had a family contract covid and the homeowner was unwilling to be flexible regarding discounts for those people or rescheduling. Please know if the worst happens and you must cancel you should have insurance to protect you so that you don't loose. Other than that, we very much enjoyed our time at the cabin, and would consider scheduling again. They were very prompt on replying to our concerns and questions and were thorough with their instructions.

Clean and great communication

Even though we had a lot going on the week we stayed. The family that did make it we enjoyed the cabin. Lots of winter activities and more than enough space. We are actually planning on retuning this summer to enjoy the outdoors. The property manger Maegan was awsome. Anytime I reached out to her she responded fast. We love this cabin and we suggest everyone whose visiting Wisconsin to check them out.
