About this property

Escape to cozy, secluded lakefront cabin in the north woods

If you are looking for an escape for your family or a romantic getaway with your partner, to a secluded, cozy cabin on a beautiful northern lake, Thieves Den is waiting for you. Recently this cabin has been totally renovated from top to bottom, with new exteriors, interiors, windows, electrical, furnishings and appliances but with all the charm of the north woods.
The cabin is part of a compound of 4 family cabins on 40 acres set in the heart of the Chippewa National Forest. Our family has made memories here for 75 years and five generations. We have renovated each cabin to be charming and comfortable for the family members who use them. To help with the expenses we have decided to rent out two of the cabins when we are not using them. We will treat you as family and hope that you do the same for us.
This cabin is located on Round Lake, up on a bank, with great views of the lake from most of the cabin. Steps from your front door is 1000 feet of private sandy beach on a great swimming-fishing-boating lake. The sand bottom drops off very gradually, making it ideal for kids to swim safely. Round Lake is known for its great fishing, with a variety of species including walleyes, northerns, perch and panfish.
Enjoy the spectacular sunsets, star-filled skies and sometimes northern lights from our private dock. We provide 2 canoes, 2 kayaks and 2 paddleboards for our guests to use. We will give you info on renting a fishing boat on the lake or you can bring your own boat and moor it in front of our beach. Lounge, grille or picnic on your private patio. Make s’mores or hot dogs on a fire in the lakeside fire pit.
The small but efficient two-bedroom layout is perfect for a family of 5 or two couples. There is a new queen size bed in one bedroom and a new single over double bunk bed in the second bedroom. The 6-person antique table is a great place for meals and games or card playing. The cabin is set up to provide for all your needs: high speed 250 mg direct connect internet, wifi, smart television, ¾ bathroom, well supplied kitchen, linens and towels. Upon reservation confirmation, we’ll send you a detailed list of all we provide.
The seclusion of our cabins offers an ideal habitat for a variety of birds and animals. You are likely to see loons, pelicans, eagles, various ducks and geese, hummingbirds at the feeder by your cabin, deer and occasionally the fox after whom the cabin is named.
Our location in the National Forest gives you great hiking and biking trails within minutes of the cabin. You will enjoy the good casual restaurants and towns nearby. We will provide a notebook for your use with suggested activities in the area.
Judy lives at the cabins during the season and will be happy to assist you with anything you need.
Smoking, hunting, shooting and pets are prohibited.
Please don’t hesitate to contact Judy with any questions you may have. Check out our listing for Kingfisher cabin for a slightly different cabin layout with more amenities for children..

Lovely Time
This was exactly what my girlfriend and I were looking at for vacation. The cabin was amazing, with an incredible view of the lake and all the necessities to do cooking. The lake was a beautiful and we had a great time on the paddle boards and using the canoe. Judy was absolutely wonderful and a great host! We would love to come back again! We can’t thank Judy enough for a wonderful week.

Perfect for viewing lake and waterfowl
Only drawback is the water is shallow and weeds all the way out to depth that allows swimming.

Forest Retreat
Beautiful setting to unwind and relax! A perfect place to recharge. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets on the lake, as well as kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. (All water equipment provided by our host, Judy - just bring your own life jacket). The cabin had everything needed for food prep and cooking. Very clean and well decorated-very comfortable cabin. Another highlight was all the wildlife we observed from soaring eagles, loon chorus in the evenings, duck family on the shore front, a little brown weasel, a parade of pelicans with their babies, a great blue heron catching fish, as well as a sandpiper…and more! Truly a wildlife paradise 😊 Upon arrival there is a bottle of wine to enjoy and all the ingredients for s’mores which we enjoyed around the lakefront fire pit! Judy was a delight to visit with and helpful as a resource for the area. We stayed in late July - I’m sure the fall would be breathtaking!!!

What a perfect northwoods cabin!
We returned again - during same exact calendar week in 2021 - for 2022. The lake was at full water level and trees were in gorgeous fall foliage. Bald eagles, belted-kingfishers, great-blue herons, pilated-woodpeckers, golden-crowned-kinglets, goldeneye ducks - visited every day at the lake. Sunsets are spectacular - especially from the vantage point of a kayak - or the dock. Such a cozy, clean perfect cabin. We enjoyed homemade Beef bourguignon Stew while sitting lakeside by a roaring campfire. Watched the moons around Jupiter using binoculares one night - the skies were so clear. Such a lovely place to visit.

Relaxing time at the Lake
Thank you so much - such a wonderful cabin. We rented both cabins for our family. We had everything we needed. The cabins were fully stocked with all necessities. Plus canoes, kayaks and paddle boards were a bonus! Both cabins were very clean and orderly. Wonderful communication from the owners. We would definitely go back !

What makes this property unique

Many lake cabins are built very close to their neighbors. We own 1000 feet of lakeshore and have built our cabins for seclusion and privacy.. Yet we have all the modern amenities to make your stay comfortable.
