About this property

Wooded Private -True Log Cabin on Pristine Spider Lake. Pontoon/Kayak options

This spacious three bedroom log cabin was built using logs from the property. It sits on a wooded private lake-front lot on the beautiful Spider Lake Chain. Enjoy complete privacy at all views and sunsets. Listen to the loons; watch the eagles soar and get a close-up glimpse of deer and other wildlife as our property butts up to the Washburn County Forest offering privacy all around.

The best part about our cabin is the lake! Spider Lake is a chain of 5 deep lakes, totaling roughly 300 acres. The irregular shoreline and many islands, bays and coves make every outing on Spider a wonderful discovery experience. Catch fish from the dock or rent our Pontoon for an adventure! Swim the crystal clear waters from the swim raft in our private cove, the pristine waters are heavenly!

The main level features a fully-equipped kitchen, living room and 2 bedrooms with lake views, and full bath. Ceiling fans in every room. Walk out onto the wrap around upper deck overlooking the lake and Washburn County Forest where there's a gas grill, plenty of furniture to relax on to watch the sunset and large tables to enjoy outdoor meals.

The lower level features a Great Room with windows affording a beautiful view of the lake, two sets of bunk beds, a daybed and pull-out couch. A game room with board games, many puzzles, books, game/puzzle table and foosball table, also approx. 100 movies for those rainy days. Full bath and utility room with full size washer and dryer are also here. Walk-out to another large deck for an afternoon siesta on the hammocks or sunning on the lounge chairs.

Additionally outdoors you'll find 3 dining tables and chairs, gas bbq grill, fire pit and a canoe, swim raft and floats available for your use.
We also have a 24' JC pontoon w/ new 60 HP Honda and 4 kayaks for rent. ATV - Hiking trails are at the end of our long driveway which leads to the Tuscobia State Trail. There is plenty of parking for boat or ATV trailers. The Town of Birchwood is a 5 min. drive and has a large convenience store, several restaurants, bars and pubs, and a nice small grocery store.

For the ultimate in privacy and Northwoods enjoyment this is the perfect family lake cabin getaway!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Spider Lake lake house. The property had everything we needed and it was so great being able to have the 2 family dogs with us. The lake is perfect for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Having the use of the property’s canoe was also such a bonus! We loved the big decks that really allows you to take in the views and the firepit was fun to enjoy at the end of the day. We highly recommend this property and Sherrie was great to work with!

Week on the lake

This is an amazing property. Plenty of room for the family. We enjoyed eating on the huge deck listening to the loons during breakfast. The owner is very responsive. The lake is fantastic. We spent a lot of time kayaking and fishing. Some really nice bass if you take a boat out.

Great Getaway!

The cabin was so comfortable! Very nice and clean. Plenty of room for all of us. The lake was quiet during our stay. Felt like we had it to ourselves. Lots of wildlife, campfires, swimming, fishing, coffee shop runs, and R&R! Enjoyed our stay very much!

Peaceful escape from the city!

We had an amazing stay at the log cabin on Spider lake. From booking to checkout, everything was easy and exactly as expected. Sherrie was wonderful to work with and super responsive when we had questions. The cabin is a perfect combination of rustic with all the amenities you need to enjoy the time away from city life. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, paddle boards, wildlife (Eagles, deer, chipmunks, loons..) and all the peace and tranquility we could absorb. Sherrie, thank you for sharing your cabin with us. I would love to know more about the history of this home in your family (the note on the handmade bunkbed is intriguing!) Thanks again for being a fantastic host!

It should have been better!

"Did you enjoy your stay"? The question at the top of this review page! Only two options for answers to click on. Either "I loved it!" or "Not Really". For us it was somewhere in between. We only rented the cabin from 8/12 - 8/16. So with a check in time of 4pm and a check out time of 11:00am, that's really only 3 full days, so of course we wanted to make the most of that time. One part of making the most, was us spending time on the chain of lakes with the pontoon we also rented from the owner. We were super excited about it! Unfortunately, the excitement quickly turned into disappointment & frustration when the pontoon wouldn't start and we ended up spending WAY more time dinking around with this pontoon than we should have, buying a battery charger for it... charging it for hours... and that still didn't work... checking the motor etc..etc. We finally ended up renting a pontoon from a local guy, which we got around lunch time Tuesday, leaving us at this point with less than 2 full days of Pontoon use. Although we don't blame the owner for the trouble with the pontoon, we do feel her response to our trouble wasn't very apologetic. Never once did I hear... Oh I'm SO sorry, what can I do? Instead WE asked if she could have the Kayaks, which were also available for rent, unlocked for us to use to kind of make up of for all the hassle & time wasted, but she seemed reluctant & stated that asking the cleaning lady to come back to unlock is asking a lot. She mentioned one set of the kayaks had a combination lock which she could give us, but the paddles were locked in the garage, so obviously THAT wouldn't do us any good. Her lack of desire to make up for it, and aloofness was disheartening. Nevertheless, despite the pontoon fiasco putting a damper on this vacation, we made the best of the time we had. It IS a beautiful property and lake and had we not had all this trouble, this review would be completely different. Jennifer, Rosie, Stefan, Andrea, Cooper and Olivia!

So incredibly relaxing!

If you're looking for seclusion and privacy but still X-Ray enough access to necessities this is the place. The set up of this amazing cabin was perfect for us. Lower level for my son's family with a toddler gave them space needed for naps or bedtime. The property itself is private and surrounded by woods with open space all around the cabin. The lakes are very unique and undeveloped shoreline all the way to the 5th lake. We spent 10 days here and it had everything you need in the kitchen, huge deck with lots of seating, and just all around comfort!

The chain of lakes is quiet and mostly undeveloped. Bluegills were available everywhere, a few bass. Saw eagles, deer, osprey. The house has several very nice features, such as beautiful view into a more or less private bay, ample space, nice deck for sitting outside.

Multigenerational family vaca!

Cabin had plenty of space for the 12 of us on #1 of the Spider Lake chain. Family of 6 enjoyed the finished basement/bunk room. HUGE deck and fire pit so nice for us. We ALL fit comfortably on the Pontoon for boat rides to #5 where my childhood memories were made. Everyone loved the vintage Paddle boat too! Floaties, Washer/dryer, 2 full bathrooms were greatly appreciated as well. We were blessed by nice summer weather for lots of water activities. Hammock and outdoor furniture were relaxing spots. Of course, the loons and sunsets provided natural entertainment! We used a couple of the kayaks too- was nice not to have to haul them. Recommend Spider Lake Saloon, Ed's Pit Stop for Broasted Chicken and ice Cream and Gary's Grocery for Donuts. The littles loved Wilderness Walk in Hayward. Quite a memory maker vacation to celebrate!

Perfect lake get-away!

This property property provided our family a wonderful chance to relax and have fun at the lake! The cabin was immaculately clean, and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor space for all of us. We enjoyed exploring the lakes and surrounding wildlife on the rented pontoon boat. Hayward was just 45 minutes away with cute shops, go-karts, and mini golf. Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Sherrie

Host profile image
This is our family cabin. We've had many great times up here but with our busy schedules we're renting it a few weeks a month. We invite you to come enjoy!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Spider Lake and waited patiently for a place to come up for sale. With the clean pristine waters of Spider Lake, the quiet peacefulness next to Washburn County Forest, the singing loons, eagles and all around beauty, we love it!

What makes this property unique

We love the fact that the logs that make this cabin came from the property.
The cabin sits on an acre adjacent to a forest where wildlife abounds. Hiking/ATV trails in the summer and snowmobile trails in the winter. Shopping and dining are only a five minute drive. It's private, quiet and peaceful or has plenty of room to be loud and have some fun without bothering anyone!
