Great family getaway

We stayed at this cabin with our newborn and 3 kids under 7 and it was perfect! The bunk room and the outdoor playhouse provided hours of entertainment for the kids. The fast response from the owner on questions and needs was amazing. The kitchen was well stocked and the view was fantastic! Even with almost nonstop rain, we had a great time and would definitely return.

Easiest Lake Vacay EVER!

This cabin (and owner) exceeded our expectations. John was very communicative through the entire process. Directions were easy to follow and spot on. I was wondering how it would be with the owner staying next door but John was welcoming, helpful and non-intrusive. He came in because he was having tv trouble and on his way out took it upon himself to grab two bags of recycling we had sitting by the door disposing it for us! When I saw it was missing I thought, "that couldn't have been MY kids taking out trash without being asked!" Nope, it was John😊 The cabin had so many beautiful sitting areas with room for everyone. Even under the deck was a nice little swing for two. The view from the whole cabin was spectacular. The fishing was fantastic right off the dock. The water and floating pad were perfect for the kids and dogs to play. There was a little playhouse in the yard that my grandchildren adored and lots of quality toys for them to play with inside and out. It was clear and shallow enough to let the kids and dogs play for hours. There was lots of wildlife to view on the lake. Listening to the Loons was emotive and beautiful. We took advantage of the pontoon rental and enjoyed every minute. The boat is very roomy with accommodating seating. Our family of 9 would definitely recommend this wonderful cabin with the well stocked kitchen ANYDAY!

A Gem in the Northwoods!

Beautiful property with all the amenities and more! The cabin is very close to the lake. The lake is very quiet and very sparsely populated. If your looking for the full “Up North” experience, this is it.

Relaxing trip on beautiful Lake Windigo

Our family group, consisting of eight adults and one dog, found the perfect place to gather for the week of July 4. John’s spacious cabin had the perfect setting on Lake Windigo with great lake views and access. We rented the pontoon for the week, and it was great for both fishing and exploring the lake. The cabin is well maintained and supplied with whatever you’d need, particularly in the kitchen. The WiFi was efficient, should you need it. Highly recommended if you are vacationing in the Hayward, WI area!

About the host

Hosted by John and Chris Knapek

John and Chris -
We are from Lakeville, MN but now live in Kissimmee, Fl with our 6 (yes, 6!!) kids!

Why they chose this property

Chris's parents also have a lake home in the area. We have been coming up here for many years and have completely fallen in love with the area and the community. We even honeymooned up here!

When we had our own opportunity to find our own place, the location choice was the easy part. We knew we wanted to be close to downtown and everything that Hayward has to offer. When we saw the charm and character of this cabin with the potential to expand the living area, and the absolute stunning Windigo lake views just 35 feet from the waters edge, we knew it had to be ours! Plus, we are located only 6 miles away from downtown Hayward!! This makes an easy trip for that cup of sugar, or that gallon of milk you may need! :)

We continue to put our personal stamp on the property, and we know it will be a long process to get everything exactly the way that we want it. It is a labor of love and legacy for our family and we look forward to sharing our special 'little piece of heaven' with you and yours!!
