About this property
Sandy beach, quiet lake, great fishing & beautiful sunsets w/2 kayaks & gameroom
**Welcome to Your Northwoods Getaway on Quiet Crystal Lake**
Tucked into the heart of Wisconsin’s Chequamegon National Forest, your dream lake vacation awaits. Picture this: Mornings spent sipping coffee on a large deck overlooking glassy waters, sunny afternoons kayaking from your private beach, and evenings gathered around a crackling lakeside fire pit under the stars. At our Crystal Lake retreat, every moment invites relaxation, adventure, and lasting memories.
**Lakeside Living at Its Best**
Step outside to your own private paradise—sandy lake frontage with a gently sloping yard, perfect for swimming, sandcastle building, or simply lounging in the sun. A private dock and your own private beach offers direct access to the clear, 117-acre lake, ideal for boating, fishing, or jumping in for a refreshing swim. You’ll have full access to a row boat, two kayaks, and a pedal boat to explore the lake at your leisure.
**Room for Everyone**
The main house is warm, bright, and built for gathering. With three bedrooms, a cozy loft, and two bathrooms, there’s space for the whole family—or two! The open-concept living room features a wall of windows that frame sweeping lake views, and the fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals a joy. Whether you’re cooking dinner, playing games in the loft, or relaxing on the couch with a movie, you’ll feel right at home.
The main-level master suite includes two queen beds, a walk-in closet, and a private bath with direct access to the deck and lakeside views. A second main-level bedroom features a king bed and full bath nearby. Upstairs, the loft offers a kids’ dream hideaway with two twin beds and a fun play area, plus there’s a queen sofa bed in the living room for extra sleeping space.
**The Ultimate Bonus Space – Game Room & Guest Quarters**
Just steps away is the detached garage, transformed into a two-level bonus space. The lower level is a fully stocked game room—complete with pool table, foosball, board games, and another Smart TV. It’s the perfect rainy-day retreat or evening hangout.
Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms: one with five twin beds and another with a queen bed, plus a full bathroom. This space is both heated and air-conditioned, making it perfect for year-round stays.
**Nature, Adventure & Tranquility – Right at Your Doorstep**
Located on the quiet shores of Crystal Lake, you’ll be surrounded by over 850,000 acres of protected forest. Whether you’re seeking peaceful relaxation or outdoor adventure, you’re in the right place.
**Fishing Paradise:**
Crystal Lake is home to panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and walleye. Launch your boat from the nearby public landing or tie up at our private dock. In winter, enjoy easy access to excellent ice fishing right out front.
**Trail Access from the Front Door:**
Hop on your snowmobile or ATV/UTV and connect directly to the extensive Bayfield County trail system. Ride through dense forests, past lakes and streams, and across some of Wisconsin’s most beautiful and remote terrain. Rentals are available nearby if you don’t bring your own.
**Four Seasons of Fun:**
In the fall, come for the vibrant colors and great hunting options nearby. In the winter, enjoy cross-country skiing on area trails—or try out a ski trail near by. Come spring and summer, hike or bike through miles of CAMBA trails or the scenic North Country Hiking Trail. No matter the season, the outdoors is calling.
**The Perfect Launchpad to Explore Northern Wisconsin**
Beyond the lake, you’re perfectly positioned to explore all the charm and culture Bayfield County has to offer—from local eateries and craft shops to scenic drives, berry farms, and historic sites. Whether you're here for a weekend or a week, you’ll quickly see why guests come back again and again.
**Make Your Escape to Crystal Lake**
Whether you're casting a line at sunrise, stargazing from the dock, or laughing with loved ones over s'mores, your time at our Crystal Lake retreat will be filled with comfort, beauty, and unforgettable moments. Come ready to relax, reconnect, and write your next favorite chapter in the Northwoods.
