About this property

Northwoods Get Away! Enjoy the privacy of this property & large game room!

**Welcome to Your Northwoods Adventure Basecamp!**

Looking for the perfect place to gather, relax, and explore? Whether you're planning a family reunion, snowmobile or ATV club ride, golf outing, girls’ weekend, corporate retreat, or a getaway with your fishing crew, this spacious home is your all-season destination for fun and connection. Or simply bring your favorite people and enjoy some downtime in the beauty of Wisconsin’s Northwoods.

This home does NOT have direct lake access, but is located near the scenic Chetac Chain of Lakes, this property offers spectacular views, abundant wildlife, and year-round outdoor activities. The home features a large backyard perfect for games, gatherings, and bonfires, with direct access to trails and the serenity of the forest.

**Hit the Trails — Right from the Driveway!**
We’re located directly on the Tuscobia ATV and Snowmobile Trail, with instant access across the road. This trail runs for 65 miles and is well-maintained and clearly marked. Hikers will love being close to the renowned Ice Age Trail, and biking enthusiasts can enjoy the extensive trails of the nearby Chequamegon National Forest.

**Water Adventures Await**
Though this home doesn’t offer direct lake access, we’re just minutes from two public boat landings on Big Chetac Lake, and surrounded by lakes teeming with recreation and fishing opportunities. Explore local lakes by kayak, pontoon, or fishing boat (available for rent nearby), relax on sandbars, or even camp on an island. The area’s lakes are perfect for swimming, boating, skiing, paddling, and wildlife watching.

**Angler’s Paradise**
With lakes like **Big Lake Chetac, Red Cedar, Birch, Spider, and Long Lake** nearby, anglers will find endless opportunities to reel in walleye, northern pike, bass, crappie, and panfish. Each lake offers its own charm, structure, and character—from secluded coves to open boating waters.

**Golf Getaways**
Love to golf? You’re in for a treat. With seven golf courses within a short drive, including Tagalong, modeled after St. Andrews in Scotland, the area offers everything from relaxed 9-hole courses to challenging championship layouts.

**Winter Wonderland**
When snow blankets the Northwoods, it’s time for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. Our location connects you to one of the largest snowmobile trail systems in the Midwest. Trails are meticulously groomed and maintained, and scenic routes abound. Nearby spots like Nordic Woods, Ice Age Trail, and the Birkebeiner Trail are perfect for winter sports enthusiasts.

**Relax and Recharge**
After a day of adventure, unwind at home with a game of pool or ping pong in the rec room, or gather around the firepit for stories under the stars. Prefer a slower pace? Snuggle up with a good book on the front porch, enjoy a movie night, or simply take in the stillness and serenity of the Northwoods.

**Nearby Attractions**
Explore charming towns like Birchwood, Hayward, Spooner, and Rice Lake, each offering unique shopping, dining, and local experiences. Don’t miss a visit to **historic Stout Island**, a place of wonder and timeless beauty that’s captivated visitors for generations.

This spacious 4-story home is thoughtfully designed for comfort, relaxation, and gathering.

Main Floor: You'll find a well-stocked kitchen, dining area, comfortable living room with Roku TV, a full bathroom, and easy access to an expansive deck—perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets.

Second Floor: Features two bedrooms, including one with a fun kid’s play space, a full bathroom, and a private primary suite with a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, and its own private walk-out deck.

Third Floor: Offers a large open space perfect for groups, comfortably accommodating four queen beds and a futon—ideal for kids, teens, or group stays.

Lower Level: Includes a second kitchen area, two more bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a cozy lounge area with a Smart TV—a great spot to unwind after a day of adventure.

Bonus: The home is equipped with high-speed wireless internet to keep you connected throughout your stay.

---

**This is more than just a place to stay — it’s where memories are made.**
Come for the trails, the lakes, the laughter, the stillness, the stories. Come any season. Stay for the moments.

Big house for big group

This was our third visit. We have gotten pretty good at dealing with the heating issues. Cold (41 degrees when we arrived) in the lower level and hot on the top 2 floors. This time we had a new challenge. We had to limit our water usage due to the septic system being frozen. I appreciated the extra effort the owner made to have the holding tank pumped rather than cancel our reservation, but it was stressful not knowing if each toilet flush might be the one that maxed out our 1000-gallon limit.

Excellent North Woods home for Snowmobile trip

Great home, excellent location for my large group for an annual snowmobiling trip. Plenty of room for our 11 person group and the area was very close to the one of the main trails. Amy was great to communicate with and very responsive. We will certainly plan to keep this as one of our favorite locations for next year! Todd - Iowa

Privacy Getaway

Wonderful wooded privacy get a way for large families. Many private bedrooms, with large deck and fire pit for gatherings. Garage had ping pong and pool table to hang out to spread people out. With 4 bathrooms it was never a problem with our group of 12 adults. Having two large picnic tables on the deck was great for dinners along with a table inside that seated 8. Lots of parking for two large trailers we had for side by sides. Would rent again if in the area.

We were a party of 13 over-60s gathered for a family reunion. We had ample space to fulfill our goals, to sit around, talk and enjoy each other's company. Having 2 ovens was wonderful for meal prep, and having the pantry for storage made the kitchen more friendly.
