About this property
The Wolf Den - A Wooded Hideaway
Nestled in 5+ wooded acres on a private road the Wolf Den is a secluded cabin just 13 miles from Hayward and near popular lakes like Round, Spider, Lost Land, Tiger Cat Flowage, Grindstone, Moose and many others. 2500 finished sq ft on 3 Levels with 3 Bedrooms and 2 full baths. The Main Level includes a fully equipped Kitchen, Dining Room, Living Room, 2 Bedrooms, Full Bath and a lovely 4 season Sun Porch. The Upper Level features the Master Bedroom with Master Bath and a large Loft Area set up for games, entertainment, movies, and more. The Lower Level features a Game Room with Pool Table, Foosball and Dart Board. Plus a washer and dryer for your convenience. Three car detached garage with garage door opener on property with 2 stalls for your use.  NEMA 14-50 outlet for charging your electric vehicles 
The surrounding 230 acres are privately owned by the Wolf Den owners who have set aside 40 of these acres for hiking, snowshoeing or mountain biking. ATV / UTV riders can now ride from our front door using local town and county roads to access nearby trails. Snowmobilers can ride from the front door as trail access is just a half mile down a town road. Large parking area right in front – previous renters have brought 24-30 foot trailers right to the front door. Additional larger parking areas available as well.
Our goal is to provide you with almost everything you could need – stocked kitchen, towels, bedding, soaps, shampoos – even free firewood for the outside fire pit. And if you do need something Walmart is 15 minutes away and the owners live close by so we will do our best to help with anything you need.
