Location: Hayward, Wisconsin, USA (100 miles Northeast of Minneapolis; 25 miles West of Hayward) View Map
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 13-16)
Summer 2010 Reservations Now Being Accepted. 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' - I have heard many 'horror stories' from my satisfied renters about this over the past few years). Notice the very low listing number of my property - currently Number 1 in the Hayward area - which means I've been renting this home exclusively as a vacation rental longer than anyone in the area (and it is properly licensed with the state for rental purposes, it is properly insured as a rental, etc. - most properties are not since they are often owner occupied much of the year).
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 and snowmobiles 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.
