About this property

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.

Happy to answer any questions!

Simply Amazing

This was our second time staying at this cabin. The lake is amazing and so is the property. Keith the property manager was easy to communicate with and quick with a response. We saw a family of Bald Eagles everyday off the pier and cought more than enough fish for a fish fry. Book with confidence.

Another great stay!

We had a great week at the farm! It was our second time within 2 years and we hopefully will return again! The house is very clean and well appointed with everything you may need for a perfect stay in the Northwoods. We enjoyed the row boat and canoe available and liked the improvements made since last time including the chairs and the tv. Looks like internet is on the way too so that will be great for those who need to connect! I enjoy disconnecting and love the Big Lake peace and quiet! The owners do move back and forth to and from the island a fair amount so when on the shared dock, expect cars driving in and out and boats coming and going. We did bring a screened tent to keep the mosquitos away but this was not much of an issue for us this week. Thanks for a great week Barbara! We'll be back!
