Nothing like a hot sauna
The landing at the top of the stairs going to the dock allows for a great hang out space.
With a depth of 6 to 7 feet off the end of the dock the cannon ball contest can begin!
Why not relax in the hammocks or find your own location.
Enjoy bonfires without leaving the deck!

Very nice stay. The cabin was clean with plenty of space for our family. Had everything that you needed. The lake was beautiful, we rented a pontoon and spent a lot of time on it. Also enjoyed the kayaks and Lily pad.

Great Weekend Getaway!

We had a wonderful time at this property with lots of things to do inside and outside. We had a lot of rain so it was nice to use the ping pong table and playing board games. With a mobile baby it was very child-friendly too. We would definitely stay again!

This cabin offers many “home” comforts from the large dinning table for dinners to spacious rooms. It has an inviting tone and send off of “come again.”

Highly Recommend

A great range of activities, both indoors and outdoors. The secluded private lake was especially enjoyable for fishing and wildlife viewing. It felt like we were at a remote Canadian lake. The kids enjoyed fishing, swimming, and kayaking in Lake Chetac. Very comfortable beds and spacious layout. Good all-around vacation spot that reminded me of my childhood trips up north.

Loved the lakes!

Great stay overall! We loved the option of exploring both lakes and our son caught fish at both locations. We did lots of swimming and kayaking in the big lake and the water was warm. Beautiful deck and fire pit area too. Although the mosquiitos were thick outside once we started the fire at night they didn't both us and we were able to enjoy smores and campfire time. Just a heads up there is a decent amount of walking to both lakes, including steps and slopes. Overall a great house and location!

This is a great place to rent has the little extras that add to the stay. The worst part were the misquotes. However, the screened in area helped immensely.

Wonderful cabin!

We had a such a great time at the cabin. The property was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and utensils for cooking. The cabin was really spacious and the basement was a hit with the whole family! Jon was a great host and quick to answer all our questions. We hope to come back when the lake isn’t frozen but we still had a great time snow shoeing the ice age trail. It was perfect!

Family time

The house was very clean and fully stocked. We were very impressed with everything that was included with the rental. It was a long walk to both of the lakes, but once we got there it was great. It was a good house for a large group, plenty of beds as well as extra bedding. The basement did get cool , even with the air off, but we just added another blanket at night!

Very private, quiet and peaceful

What a wonderful time we had at this beautiful property! We loved the private lake in the back but the trail may be difficult for less agile people. It was a beautiful walk through nature to this fantastic lake full of fish. Everyone one of us who went down to fish on this lake caught fish, even those of us who are not fishermen. The big lake is quite peaceful as well. The property was very spacious and had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet retreat.

Wonderful cabin in the north woods

Our time at the cabin was minimal because our family gathering was across the lake but our short time there was great. The property was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The only concern was the stability of the dock. We rented a pontoon so we could easily travel back and forth but the dock made loading and unloading tricky especially in the dark. Also, solar lighting on the dock would be very helpful.

Northwoods vacation rental

Lovely home with everything you need for a comfortable relaxing vacation! Property owner was very responsive to any questions we had. House was well kept and very clean. It was furnished with everything we needed and extra attention to the smallest of details, like nightlights throughout, flyswatters, hair dryers in bathrooms and both a regular and kuerig coffee maker. We loved the huge living room sofa and dining room table that had room for all of us! The game room in the basement was enjoyed by all, as was the zip line on the way to the back lake! We enjoyed paddling around Lake Chetek in the canoes and kayaks provided. This was an excellent rental property and we highly recommend it! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Host profile image
We love the outdoors and originally purchased this cabin with the idea we would only fix it up and sell it. We ended up selling our other cabin as we loved this one so much. I don't think we could ever sell it.

Why they chose this property

We saw it in the fall the leaves and 3 acres were hard to resist.

What makes this property unique

Very Private and access to 2 lakes
