beautiful little cabin, quiet lake

The cabin was very clean and efficient for the use by 5 people. The lake was calm and quiet. Usually only one or two boats out at any given time. The water level at the dock was rather low, and the weeds go out quite a ways. It made fishing limited to (very)weedless options from the dock. We enjoyed the canoe and paddle boat and caught enough fish to fry for dinner.

Beautiful property with a relaxing atmosphere. So much wildlife that can be enjoyed right from the back porch. We really loved our experience as a family - making s’mores by the campfire and fishing off the dock!

Adorable Cozy Rustic Cabin in the Woods

Cabin was exactly as described, and even more charming! All areas were very clean, kitchen was properly stocked, and everything was in working order. Plenty of deer, loons and eagles to watch. The rain gave us plenty of opportunities to play family games and watch movies, all provided by the host. Would highly recommend.

Cheqamegon bike race accommodations

Bare bones accommodations but Adequate for our purposes which was what we were after. No internet or cable which was fully disclosed in ad, so not a problem and not unexpected. I can certainly understand why the owner wouldn’t want the expense of those amenities but not supplying bath towels seemed a weird cost saving measure and a little too austere to me.

MTB Season kick off

We had a wonderful time at Lisa's property. Served us well for the kick off of the NICA MTB season. Close to Telemark and Hayward. Accommodations were perfect for our family of 4. Use of the lake with the paddle boat and pier was a nice addition as it was quite warm. We were a little bummed the lake was so weedy tight off shore so swimming off the pier wasn't an option. Once to the middle of the lake, it was lovely. Having use of the firepit was also a plus. Lisa was very responsive and helpful. We would stay again.

Lazy Loon

We had a great mini-moon at the Lazy Loon! We brought our side by side and had a blast on the trails near by. We also spent a day golfing at Spider Lake Golf Resort and then at the black iron bar and grill - the steak bites are SO good. The cabin was clean, comfy, and had everything we needed! Walmart and grocery stores were close by for any last minute items. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating, we would for sure stay here again!

Family funeral

I have traveled to Hayward for 40 years. My husband grew up there and wanted to stay on Smith Lake. We loved the location, loons and eagles. We did not have cell service and it was difficult to communicate with family arriving for funeral without internet. We also had to borrow towels from family to shower. I must have overlooked that detail when booking.

Quaint Cabin

The cabin was very nice and clean with most everything needed for a great stay. Fishing was good even though the wind direction was not in our favor. The lake was quiet and had plenty of wildlife to enjoy seeing. Overall very good experience but would have liked a little sooner notice of items not supplied by the host! Would be good to get this at least a week or month ahead of the stay.

Relaxing

The place was cute with a beautiful view. We were surprised that there were no bath towels. It was my mistake for not reading that but never rented a place before that didn't have them so we had to run to the store to purchase them. Overall we really enjoyed it.

Perfect Little Cabin

Everything was flawless from my first contact with the host to the end of our stay. The cabin is compact, but comfortable. No wifi or TV channels, but that made it easy to unplug and relax. The only thing some people might have an issue with is that the lake is very weedy, so you cannot swim in the area around the shore or dock. On the flip side, we caught a lot of little fish who seemed to like the weeds! We have plans to book again because it fit our needs beautifully.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Wanless

My husband and I have always dreamed of owning a cabin in northern Wisconsin. We started the journey to our dream in 2012. After viewing several properties over several months, we picked the property on Smith Lake and fell in love! We located a log home builder close to our home and began the building process. We love our cabin on Smith Lake. We have fallen in love with the Loons on the property thus the name Lazy Loon Cabin.

Why they chose this property

Smith Lake offered everything we wanted in a lake. It's quiet but large enough to boat and participate in all kinds of water sports. It has a family feel and great neighbors.
