About this property

Family fun historic cabin between LCO and Grindstone Lakes

Overview
Tucked between Grindstone and LCO Lakes in Northwoods Beach, this home sits just across the street from the shoreline—offering partial views of Lac Courte Oreilles with a private, relaxed setting all its own. It's an ideal basecamp for boating, fishing, and slowing down, with room to park boats and UTVs and a gas and charcoal grill outside. Inside: a king, a queen, and bunks, a full kitchen, fast WiFi, a dedicated workspace, and a bright living space that stays cozy year-round.
The space
This is the kind of place that invites you to exhale—that unmistakable "up north" feeling, with a little more room to breathe.
The backyard is a true gathering space, with a gravel patio, a brand-new seating area shaded by large umbrellas, a big picnic table, and a fire pit ringed with chairs. There's also a new gas and charcoal grill—made for slow mornings, sunset drinks, and evenings under the stars.
Inside, the home carries a clean, Scandinavian-inspired design with an open-concept layout that naturally draws people together. The kitchen flows into the dining and living areas, so it's easy to cook, connect, and unwind in the same breath. An electric fireplace adds warmth on cooler nights, while large windows keep everything light and inviting.
The home comfortably sleeps six, with blackout curtains in every bedroom for restful nights. For families, there's a charming kids' nook complete with a teepee, twinkle lights, books, and games—a little world all their own.
You'll also find a drip coffee maker and in-home laundry, so whether you're here to unplug or stay connected, it all comes easy.
Guest access
Guests enjoy full access to the home and outdoor spaces throughout their stay—every bedroom, bathroom, the kitchen, all living areas, and the entire yard.
You're welcome to use both driveways, with ample room for vehicles, trailers, boats, or UTVs. The only spaces off-limits are the garage and shed.

About the host

Host profile image
I live in Brookfield, but my heart has always been up north. My dad's side of the family is from Northwoods Beach, and I've been making the trip up here for more than 40 years. When the chance to buy this property came along last December, I jumped on it — I'd always dreamed of having a home in the Hayward area to retire to someday. I spent months renovating it, and now I'd love for guests to enjoy the space and make their own memories here while I'm still working toward that retirement.

Why they chose this property

When I'm up here, you'll usually find me hiking, biking, kayaking, browsing the farmers markets, getting involved in the local community, or just hanging out with my dogs. I love this area so much that hosting feels like a gift — I get to share a place I adore, pass along my favorite local suggestions, and point people toward the events that make a trip here special. Our road is wonderfully friendly, too: it sits right on an active walking trail where you can stroll around much of Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) Lake.

What makes this property unique

It's a true log cabin with character to match: a staircase that no longer leads anywhere (a leftover from past renovations), a gentle slant in the floor, and visible traces of where the original house ended and the addition began. Those little quirks are exactly what set it apart from the multimillion-dollar homes lining the lakeshore — and we feel so lucky to call it ours.
