Welcome to "Our Great Escape, LLC. Isn't is time you "escaped" the fast-paced craziness of today's world and took a step back in time to a simpler way of life?
We're located just 21 miles NE of nostalgic Hayward with its' charming shops, Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, numerous festivals, and attractions. Just 7 miles from your front door is a full-service convenience/bait and tackle store, and nearby are several resorts, dining/supper clubs, golf courses, riding stables, and marinas for your dining and recreational pleasures.
Our upscale New England style cottage sits just 50 feet back from 183 feet of sugar sand beach featuring a Western view of soaring bald eagles, loons, and spectacular sunsets. Our panoramic front porch is located in Wilson Bay just inside Green Point on the quiet waters of Lost Land Lake, and the Chequamegon National Forest is our surrounding Northwoods home. Lost Land Lake is a 1304-acre gem connected by thoroughfare to 1049-acre Teal Lake; they are the "Quiet Lakes."
Included in your rental is a 40' long dock with bench seat for summer night stargazing, swimming, and lounging. Also included is your own private boat launch, and a 14' V-hull 4-seat Alumacraft boat. Additional boat, boat motor, or pontoon rental is available from Wilson Bay Lodge just 5 minutes away by boat or car. So, whether you are an avid fisherman, nature lover, canoe or kayak enthusiast, or just want to unwind, it's all waiting for you, not just outside... but inside as well. It is our desire that you experience the peace and quiet of lake living during your stay, while enjoying all the comforts of home.
The home itself is 1 1/2 stories with all rooms on one level, except the bedroom loft that overlooks the Great Room with its' two-story river rock fireplace, and the finished full-service laundry room located in the basement. The open-floor plan is not only conducive to entertaining and socializing, but there are views of the lake from almost every room. In fact, the West facing windows and French doors in the kitchen, Great Room, and one of the two master en-suite bedrooms, bring the outdoors in to you. The kitchen has all the expected conveniences plus stainless appliances, Wilsonart countertops, and a large center island with seating for four. A large dining area is located off of the kitchen, and there are four good size bedrooms- two as mentioned with en-suite bathrooms, and a third bathroom between two bedrooms.

Vacation Family Rental Home,Lakefront, on Lost Land Lake
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Hayward
Why Lost Land Lake (LLL)? First, my wife's side of the family has a history of vacationing on LLL dating back to the late 1950's, the rustic beauty of the lake and surrounding National Forest is hard to find with the overcrowding on many lakes today, and then there's the abundant wildlife, and 1300 acres of fabulous fishing without the noise of water-skiing and jet-sking, or the over-harvesting of trophy fish due to motor trolling as none of these are allowed, which is to say that LLL is a "quiet" lake where we can enjoy ourselves and unwind. In fact, for a lake it's size, it is one of only three "Quiet Lakes" in the entire state of Wisconsin; a second of the three lakes, 1100 acre Teal Lake, being accessible via navigatable channel out of LLL- another reason for choosing LLL. We chose our particular location because we have young children who wanted awesome swimming and a sugar-sand beachfront, and we wanted no dangerous drop-offs- we got all three. We also wanted to be located in a bay protected from wind driven waves where our kids could fish off of the dock and actually catch fish, and we wanted to end our days at the lake watching beautiful sunsets, sipping hot chocolate and eating smores by the campfire, while gazing at the millions of stars overhead.
The Unique Benefits at this Lakehouse
I like to think of our lakehome as an "escape" from all of life's pressures and hurried craziness, and it's why we chose the name "Our Great Escape." So whether we choose to take a scenic drive into Hayward and visit its' quaint shops, or relax in the Canadian-like atmosphere of the lake and surrounding forest, we know that we're experiencing a blessing we can't get at home, so we treasure every visit, while looking forward to the next one.
Owner's Map of Hayward
Fishing and outdoor activities have been a part of both my wife and my upbringing since we were old enough to walk. My favorite gamefish is the elusive muskie, and I am an avid catch, release, and photo (CPR) fisherman, but whether I catch a fish or not (such is the life of a muskie fisherman), I always consider my time on the water and time spent with family at the lake to be priceless and memorable.
