Location: Hayward, Wisconsin, USA (20 miles from Hayward on Potato Lake; 2 hrs from Twin Cities)
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-9)
Feel like you are away from it all in this tastefully decorated, two-bedroom, 1400-square-foot, rustic, lodge-style cabin on crystal clear, secluded, spring-fed Potato Lake... only 20 miles from Hayward and seven miles from Stone Lake. The cabin has pine throughout, is available year round, and sits above the lake overlooking 120 feet of lake shore. The yard is beautifully landscaped and gradually slopes toward the lake where you will find a dock for your boat, a fishing/storage shed, and a canoe with paddles for your use. There is also a firepit near the deck overlooking the lake to roast marshmallows and share stories.
The kitchen is fully equipped and the stone gas fireplace sits between the dining room and kitchen to be enjoyed while dining or playing games. The living room has 36-inch TV with satellite (Twin Cities local channels) along with a DVD/VCR and a few DVD movies. (please bring your own kitchen linens and bath towels)
Enjoy western sunsets over the lake from either bedroom, the large wraparound deck, or the private deck off the master bedroom. The master bedroom features a log, king-size, Sleep Number bed and also has room for a queen-size, Aero bed. The master bedroom also has a TV with satellite. The second bedroom has log, queen-size bunkbeds (yes, queen over queen) along with its own full bathroom (tub with shower) and is separated from the rest of the cabin by the laundry area for privacy.
This 222-acre,lake has its own boat launch just down the road. The lake has northern, perch, crappie, bluegill, and large mouth bass and fishing must be pretty good based on the many trucks and ice houses in front of the cabin this winter. There are also miles and miles of ATV and snowmobile trails as well as hiking and cross-country skiing trails.
On the way to the cabin there are a couple of great grocery stores (I do like to cook) in Spooner and Hayward. If you have never been to Stone Lake, it is a darling little town with a few points of interest... a couple of antique shops, an unique jewelry store, and a couple restaurants and bars with lots of friendly people. Also in Hayward is a Super Wal-Mart.
For you dog lovers... I will provide a large crate indoors and an outdoor kennel. There is also a large log dog bed inside. Lula and Sailor will not mind sharing! (There is no additional charge for pets)
This truly is a great little getaway and I know you will enjoy it as much as I do.
