About this property

Cozy, private cabin on lake with pontoon and 38 acres

Fish, hike, bike, swim, canoe, eat S'mores and more at The Wascottage. Enjoy all the amenities and complete privacy at this hand hewn log cabin on 38 acres of forested land with 800 feet of lakeshore on pristine Spider Lake in Wascott, Wisconsin. There is a trail system within the property for easy access to hiking and biking. The wildlife on the property is amazing. You will see deer, turkeys, loons, geese, herons, eagles, trumpeter swans, ducks and the occassional badger. For ATV and snowmobile enthusiasts, Trail 41 is next to the property and connects to hundreds of miles of groomed trails. For those who love to fish, Spider Lake is a 100 acre private lake with very few anglers. Three pound bass and 6 pound northerns are not uncommon and the crappies are plentiful. A 20 foot pontoon with a 25 hp motor is provided as well as a kayak and paddleboat. Swimmers in the group will enjoy the shallow, easy access to the sandy-bottomed lake. As dinner approaches, you can either plan to go to a nearby restaurant or grill up some grub on the Weber and dine on the patio overlooking the lake. After dinner, head to the fire pit, build a fire and take in the shooting star show. Welcome to the Wascottage!

Very comfortable, clean cabin with all of the amenities on a quiet lake. We really enjoyed fishing from the pontoon and having smores at the firepit in the evenings. Nice places to visit within an hour's drive, like Duluth and Hayward.

This was our second year at Wascottage cabin. We absolutely love it! We searched for quite a while to find a cabin that could accommodate our family that met all our needs AND a pontoon boat that our entire family could use for after dinner rides and fishing! I can't say enough about this place and all it has to offer!

A perfect property for a family fun summer vacation. The hosts have literally thought of and delivered every little detail possible to make this cabin a perfect option for anyone. From fishing, to swimming, to waterfall exploring, a visit to Duluth or Hayward, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows over the firepit, to hiking on property trails, or simply cracking a cold one and sitting back to take in the gorgeous view of the lake and the calling of the loons. Book this place, you wont be disappointed. It is simple to say we WILL be back for sure!

The cabin and property were well maintained, clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in August. The hosts were excellent communicators and very welcoming and accommodating. We fished, canoed and kayaked on the lake as well as walked the trails on the property every day. We saw a lot of wildlife on the property and around the area during our stay. We recommend this relaxing private getaway for a small family. A couple things to be aware of...The fan/blower for the AC is a little loud, we turned it off every night. There is one private bedroom, and one open loft. The foosball table & futon pictured are in the same room as the utilities. The lake was low the year we were there, and the beach was shallow and mucky, so not good for swimming in our opinion. The fishing was great.

Great fall stay with norther lights

We had an amazing stay. Had a great view of the northern lights one night. The recent improvements on the cabin made it much more comfortable and safe for our family. We really appreciate it. Can’t wait for our next trip.

Place was cleaner/nicer than expected (some cabins feel quite old). Nice views over the lake and use of the boat was a cool bonus. Saw a bear the first night!

The only thing more amazing than the location, cabin, dock, & all the amenities, was the communication & considerations of the owners! Highest recommendations given, & we can’t wait to go back for another relaxing vacation 👍

restful getaway

beautifully maintained and appointed property. Private and serene. We had a great time. Walk to the lake and the boats, 30 acres with paths right outside the door. We really didn't have to travel anywhere to hike, fish, boat and bird watch. A relaxing vacation.

This is our 2nd stay at this cabin, and just like the 1st time, it was a wonderful experience. There is so much to do, not just within the cabin, from games to t.v, but on and off the property as well, i.e. boating, water activities, exploring the woods, local eat. My family looks forward to coming back!

Enjoyable cabin in the woods

The cabin had just what we needed and very sell stocked with kitchen supplies and games and movies. Towels and soaps. Cabin was set up very well with good view of the lake. They were helpful to find the cabin and walked us through the arrival.

Cozy cabin getaway

The cabin was cozy & came with all the amenities you could think of. On the property we saw all sorts of birds (bluejays, eagles, hawks, ducks, swans, woodpeckers, turkeys & more) & lots of deer along with either beavers or otters(we couldn't quite tell)! The trails on the property were great as well as the cabin proximity to waterfalls in Wisconsin for hiking & exploring. We chose to go see Copper Falls which was only 1.5 hours away, then we drove up to see Lake Superior too! At night we sat by a fire and enjoyed the sounds of different night birds chatting with eachother as well as gazed at the stars and saw a shooting star as well as several satelites. There are 2 grocery stores that are only about a 20 min drive from the cabin, which was very convenient. This was a perfect vacation for us & can't wait to come back.

Dream Cabin

Very secluded and private. The cabin is fully supplied, with multiple sleeping areas. Loved the deck. With the cabin came the use of a pontoon, kayak, canoe and paddle boat. Abundant wildlife. I taught my grandson to fish! And the loons calling on the lake were mesmerizing.
