Keywords: House
Spectacular, Non-Smoking, Cedar "Chalet" on very private 202 Acre Big Bass Lake. Sleeps 13-16. Five miles west of Minong, Wisconsin; 20 miles west of Hayward, Wisconsin. Great private sandy beach with very gradual depth - perfect for kids of all ages (don't be fooled by other properties that are vague when describing their 'beach' - we have heard many 'horror stories' from our satisfied renters about this over the past few years). Notice the very low listing number of our property - currently Number 2 in the Hayward area - which means we've been renting this home exclusively as a vacation rental longer than almost anyone in the area (and it is properly licensed with the state for rental purposes, it is properly insured as a rental, etc. - many properties are not since they are often owner occupied much of the year). For more pictures and information on this and our other vrbo property nearby (listing #45183), including testimonials from dozens of satisfied renters, please go online to haywardvacationrentals (dot com). We want you to be assured that you are booking a quality property that is everything it is advertised to be.
New Golf Course, Public Beach (w/boat landing) nearby and miles of ATV & Snowmobile trails surrounding. Great lake, with crystal clear water, for waterskiing/jet skiing. One seasonal neighbor to the east, but NO neighbors to the west (over 1000 feet of vacant lakeshore).
Beautifully landscaped yard with three rock retaining walls, new sod, brick walkways, and a huge stainless steel firepit overlooking the lake. Take the steps straight down to the lake and new dock. Canoe, oversize swim raft and paddleboat included. Pontoon, fishing boat/motor also available for rental.
Interior is immaculate and very tastefully decorated. Pine ceilings and hardwood floors in great room, fireplace, attached gazebo with lakeview and nice patio/lawn furniture set (for 10-12). Ceramic tile in all three full bathrooms (one on each level and one with new 6' jacuzzi tub). This place has it all, too much to mention.
You will be hard pressed to find a finer vacation home in the area. Bedroom Layout: King (firm) in upper master suite, king and queen on main level, king (softer) and queen (firm) in walk-out basement, as well as a new bunk bed with a full size mattress on bottom and twin on top in the basement. Basement is completely finished except for the floor that we have chosen to keep as cement for now (as that floor is very snow, sand and pet friendly down there as you enter the home from the lake).

I would encourage anybody considering renting this property to "do it"!! Our entire group was totally impressed with everything about this home. Plenty of space, everything you would possibly need. We didn't use the lake because we were preoccupied with other activities (golf) but it looked beautiful. Rental process was a breeze. Thanks again Jason and Kathy.

Thank you for letting us use your beautiful cabin. Everything was perfect for us. The weather was unbelievable, 83 – 85 degrees everyday. Fishing for Bluegills off the dock was super. Swimming’s great. Surely must be the greatest spot in the north.

This house was the perfect size for our family. We came from 3 different locations and were able to reconnect with each other for more than a couple of hours at a holiday dinner. Thank you for a wonderful setting.

Thank you for the use of your beautiful Northwoods retreat. We had a great time celebrating our parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. The house worked perfectly for our family of 13, but was also cozy for the five of us who were left after the weekend. Found this to be the perfect place for a family get-together.

Thank you so much for this wonderful place to enjoy! This is by far the nicest VRBO home we have ever stayed in! The home was spotless and so well stocked. The view was out of this world. And the home is so beautifully furnished and finished. With so many amenities we didn’t want to leave! We’ll definitely be back!

Sometimes you need to break free. Sometimes you need to escape the congestion of downtown city life. Sometimes you need to gather with your closest friends in Wisconsin and discover what life is all about. That’s what we realized this weekend. Life isn’t about profit margins, or cost reduction. It’s about spending time with your closest friends in a place that you enjoy. You’ve allowed us to do that. Many Thanks!

I loved the cabin last year and I’m sure I will love it this year and all other years I will come here. We all had a great time exploring the many surprises of the house. It was great to just get away from the real world and just relax. It felt like all the pressure on my shoulders kinda melted as soon as I walked in the door. Some quotes: “This house is so snapping cool” – Jack “I just love this house” – Lucy “I love waking up and seeing the sunrise on the lake” – Jenn “The homey feel is just enough that it isn’t too much like home, but it isn’t like a hotel” – Phoebe

Thanks for the use of your amazing cabin. We enjoyed the Totogatic and Trego Lake Ski Trails. Awesome! Perfect weather and perfect snow. Beautifully appointed chalet, warm fireplace, and we especially enjoyed foosball and ping pong! Thanks again and best wishes.
