Bayshore Retreat is a nicely decorated 4-bedroom log cabin on 5,000 acre LCO Lake with a private dock and sandy beach provides great fun for adults and young children. Miles of ATV/Snow mobile trails are also accessible right from this home so you can trailer here and head out.

Enjoy this large 4 bedroom/3 bath north woods getaway on beautiful Lac Courte O'reilles Lake located just south of Hayward, WI.
This 5,000 acre lake provides great Walleye, Muskie, and Bass fishing, ample room for recreation water sports, a large sandbar for throwing the anchor in, playing in the water and socializing, as well as dock accessible restaurants/bars for meals and entertainment including live bands. We have a private dock that allows for space available for a boat and sandy beach that is great fun for adults and young children. Miles of ATV/Snow mobile trails are also accessible no need to trailer.

The lake home is situated in a small bay at the northeast corner of Lac Courte O'reilles Lake, a short boat ride (or snow mobile ride) to Trails End Resort. Enjoy some dock fishing, an outdoor grill for an evening meal, and a camp fire with a great view. Take a 10-15 minute drive to Hayward for shopping, mini-golf, and a trip the famous candy store. Several golf options and restaurants close by as well as LCO Casino.

Boats- LCO is an amazing boating lake. It's clear clean water is excellent for swimming, skiing and fishing. The lake has a secret sand bar where boaters like to anchor and swim but the majority of the lake is generally fairly deep and has a sandy bottom. We have several pontoon options we rent out to guests. We have two 2021 Benningtons, one with a 90 hp motor and one with 125 HP motors. We have several cabins on this lake so it's first come first server for the pontoon and it often books up early. Your Bayshore Retreat rental also includes a private dock to dock your boat. Additional water toys and boats are available to rent on the lake. Please ask for a list of places. Several well maintained public boat launches are also located near the cabin. Power is available at the lake shore for charging boat batteries etc.

Fire pit and gas or charcoal grill- There is a nice fire pit by the lake for you to relax by and enjoy star gazing or just enjoy the lake and the outdoors. We also supply a Gas Grill with propane on the upper deck for our guests to use free of charge. The charcoal grill we do not supply the charcoal. There are also lawn chairs by the lake to sit back and relax while enjoying the lake views or star gazing at night. The screened in porch also has a table and chairs where you can sit and have a meal or play games while still enjoying the north woods.

Bayshore Retreat is located approximately 9 miles south of the city of Hayward. It's about 140 miles northeast of the Twin Cities Metro area. The Hatchery Creek Trailhead (Birkie Trail and CAMBA mountain Bike Trail access is also approximately 8 miles from the cabin. There is a casino nearby as well as several wineries.

Parking- you can park up to 4 cars as well as several boat trailers or snowmobile trailers at Bayshore. Sorry, we do not allow camping in RVs on the property or tents.

Looking to book more than 12 guests? We own the cabins next door as well which one sleeps 10 and the other 12. Please inquire about the additional homes as they do book up.

We LOVE dogs and we want our guests to enjoy their vacation with the whole family, including the furry members :-) Up to two dogs are allowed at this cabin with prior approval. That being said, please be mindful of whether our home is appropriate for your dog(s).

*Use the house as a bathroom.

We ask that your dogs be supervised when at the cabin and crated when you are not (One large crate is available at the cabin). Also, it should not need to be said (but unfortunately needs to be, as we have had guests leave enough surprises for us), but PLEASE pick up after your dogs!! It is NOT the responsibility of our cleaners.

Clean, spacious, nice. But, falsely advertised as being directly on the ATV trails, which it is not. We had to trailer our machines quite a distance to get onto the trails. Disappointing!! Fire pit quite a distance down a steep hill. Difficult for seniors.

Family Vacation

This was perfect for our family of 6-9. Beautiful log home, great view, sandy beach for swimming (bring water shoes it has alot of sticks about 10 feet out!) and for 6 year old grandson, fishing off the dock. We used the screened porch more than any room for family games and dining!

Nice property. Very clean and lots of space if you had a lot of people like we did (8 people). We rented the 90hp pontoon which was also very clean and well maintained. Water is extra clear and highly recommend staying here.

10 person work trip

Loved the property, the cabin was beautiful and clean! Very warm area to run our morning meetings, beds were comfy, and everything worked as it should. Couple changes I'd make if it were mine... there were no towels in the bathroom so i had to run to town the night we got there, no soap dispensers in shower, and the upstairs shower curtain could be improved so that water doesnt leak on floor. Other than these minor things the stay was amazing, thank you!

Great space

My family enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room but super cozy! Loved the reclining sofas in the great room. It’s a bit of a hike uphill to get back to the cabin from lake but manageable. Always a bonus when you can bring our pet! Great communication from the host as well!

Great location for a Fall Getaway

This home was perfect for us. We were looking for an area of Wisconsin we hadn’t visited before, wanting to do some hiking and touristy stuff. The Ice Age Trail was within a half hour drive so that was also a plus. The home itself was very clean and stocked with all the essentials. A short walk took us to the sandy beach, which I have to admit was a pleasant surprise for me. I was able to walk our dog on multiple routes also. Very pleasant experience for all of us.
