About this property

The Keith Farm Cabin, right on peaceful BIG Lake -48 acres!!!

Is there anything better than a trip up North to reset?! Come enjoy our family cabin (since 1908!!) on one of the best lakes in the north woods. Big Lake is a large 900 acre lake known for excellent fishing. It's quiet as it isn't on the Manitowish chain but located nicely between the towns of Boulder Junction and Manitowish Waters. We are 1/4 mile from a bike path that runs for miles and miles (and is still gorwing). The cabin is a perfect spot for days of adventuring and soaking up the best of nature. There are three bedrooms (two double beds, two twin beds, and one twin bed and one queen bed). In 2021 we remodeled bathrooms, one with shower only, and one with tub and shower. The kitchen is fully equipped. A wood fireplace in the living room creates a cozy up-north mood. Plenty of large windows offer beautiful views from every angle. There is a small front deck and outdoor chairs. The farm includes, a charcoal grill, picnic table, outdoor seating and fire pit. (BYO charcoal and firewood)

Nestled on a 48 acres of wood that butt up to Forest Service land!! Peace and serenity are plentiful. The lake and lakefront are perfect for swimming, boating, water sking, sailing, and fishing. Two Kayaks, a canoe and rowboat are provided. We have a large television in the living room and HIGH SPEED FIBER OPTIC WIFI

Please note: The Keith family also owns Keith Island, and farm is where we park and launch (north side of the dock is reserved for that use). So occasionally islanders are in and out. Feel free to say hi!! You are welcome to use the east side of the dock, and the southwest interior portion of the L, which provides the best protection in case of inclement weather. Boat size is limited to 22 feet.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi…I’m Keith J. host for the Keith Farm. The Keith Farm was originally built in 1908 by my great grandfather Carl Keith. For over a century is has been used as a summer getaway and I volunteered to manage a few years ago. This sort of made sense to me because I have been very active in the recent remodeling, and care of the grounds. I’m also the owner of another short term rental on Big Lake (a larger 7 bedroom luxury) and a house in Milwaukee
I have been enjoying meeting the new guests and my job is getting even easier because my guests are coming back year after year (which says a lot about this magical gem!!)

Why they chose this property

Big Lake is one of the finest lakes in WI!! This 48 acre property was purchased over 110 years ago and has remained in the family, along with Keith Island on Big Lake.
Peaceful and private !!!

What makes this property unique

The property is nicely situated between Boulder Junction and Manitowish Waters. Where it's at on the lake there are no direct neighbors which will allow you to have a peaceful visit.
