Built as a winter and summer escape for a couple or small family, this beautiful four season log cottage is one of a kind. The site is extremely private in a very wild and scenic setting on the famous Chippewa Flowage...only 17 miles from Hayward. The 'Flowage is a 17,000 acre lake with hundreds of islands and 200 miles of 95% undeveloped lakeshore. It is one of the more famous wilderness lakes in Northern Wisconsin and the Hayward Lakes Region. The home makes a wonderful four season retreat...very private...with spectacular and private water views!!
The Adirondack style log cottage sits on a large 60 acre parcel with an abundance of lake frontage in a very private wooded setting. The views from the home are 100% natural...nothing but trees and undeveloped shoreline!!! The large screen porch has great views to the lake making evening dinners seem in the outdoors... the lake side fire pit and chairs create a great place for reflection or marsh mallow roasts...the 3/4 mile private wooded trail is lined with huge pines and is perfect for quiet walks... the kitchen-great room is decorated in a classic northwoods decor with many handmade rustic furniture pieces. (The cabin and much of the rustic furniture was built by the owner.) The second floor loft-bedroom has three beds...two doubles and a single...is very spacious and is lined with windows creating beautiful views to the lake. Wood floors, rustic furniture and an abundance of windows add to the Northwoods feel of this unique property.
The home is located on the North East corner of the very famous and wild Chippewa Flowage. Paddling or boating adventures up the river are close and easy and a paddle boat ride around the bay is even easier. This section of the lake is truely a wilderness area...make a left off the dock and it is miles to the next home. All 17,000 acres of the Chippewa Flowage can be your boating playground!!
With the famous resort town of Hayward just 17 miles away you can choose from a variety of world class attractions, restaurants and shops. If you are looking to relax in private with your loved ones this is a place that exudes family time. Whether it is canoeing up the nearby river, boating out the lake to the ice cream shop, a boat ride to one of 10 lake resorts for a cheese burger, catching some fresh fish for dinner, walking on the private woods trail, biking on the forest roads or reading on the screen porch, you will be able to relax undisturbed in this unique northwoods retreat.
Winter is a very special time here...a true winter wonderland. The snow is a pristine white...the solitude at a level that forces you to unwind. Whether it is a snow shoe down the shore of the lake to the river...a slow cross country tour down the private woods trail or a candle lit dinner in front of the fire...winter is a great get away time. Try the winter...you will be glad you did!!!

We built this cabin as a family retreat in 1990. Privacy was our number one priority...we wanted a place to go and relax...a place for high quality family time. We live in Hayward and this cabin continues to be one of our favorite places to get away to!
Fred Scheer purchased this cabin in 1990
We live in Hayward and wanted a very private location on the Chippewa Flowage.
Privacy, Quiet, Beautiful natural views and Abundant Wildlife.
This jewel of a cabin was perfect for our weekend get away. We had the wood stove going full time to offset the -20 degree days we experienced. I was envious of the folks able to visit in the summer and use the expansive screened in porch and hear the sounds of the outdoors rather than the furnace blowing. We were able to enjoy the beautiful views through the expansive windows and take quick brisk walks down the road and the small loop trail. The only downside, was that the sleeping loft is located up a steep flight of open stairs and were a bit intimidating to navigate for a woman with bad knees and her canine companion.
Went here to find solitude and nature and found it! The cabin was clean, comfy with great views of the lake and trees. Many places to hike, bike and explore nearby. Couldn’t have loved a place more!
We really enjoyed our stay.
We we're really impressed by everything about the cabin inside and out. Very peaceful, relaxing and private. We loved the natural elements inside such as the tree branches that were carved for the railings, hooks and door handles. The beds were made from logs and the chairs were made from twigs. The lakefront was a perfect setting for a campfire and we fished off the dock. The only thing we regret is that we couldn't have stayed longer. Our dog loved it too!
What a secluded and beautiful place to stay on the Chippewa Flowage! We had a great time at this cabin and really didn't want to leave. This was a perfect vacation spot for us as we brought our boat and did a lot of fishing plus made a couple trips into Hayward when we needed. Everything was convenient! We also met Fred which was what we were hoping to do. Thank you for opening up your haven for rentals Fred! We will really try to get back.
Nice little get away. If the weather was better and fish were biting, it would have been a wonderful time. The cabin is nice, very clean and inviting, great screened in porch and back deck. It is obvious the owner has put a lot of love into this cabin as can be see with the unique, little details throughout . However, on our first two nights, the neighbors were quite loud so we didn't even bother with a camp fire as we would have just spent the time listening to the loud voices and swearing. Disappointed that there were neighbors close enough to have an influence on our time since the description makes it sound as though this property is 100% secluded. We also found the beds to be creaky and uncomfortable so sleeping for us was poor. The property and scenery is gorgeous with wildlife coming literally right up to the door - as I was surprised by a deer early one morning having hostas for breakfast. Classic Wisconsin Northwoods experience.
