About this property
Super Private...Amazing Lake Views...Log Cabin Solitude!!
Classic Northwoods Log Cabin....read the reviews...they tell the whole story. I built this cabin myself 31 years ago. We live in Hayward and this cabin was built as a family retreat...a quick quiet and close getaway.
We have been hosts on VRBO since 2004...we were the 5th home in Hayward to sign up. We have had great guests...it has been nice to share our special place.
The Cabin site is extremely private in a very wild and scenic setting on the famous Chippewa Flowage...only 18 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 queen... it 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. Please note (the walking trail is not open 9-1 to 12-1).
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 kayak 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 18 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 do allow 1 dog 60 lbs or less. We sometimes allow 2 small dogs. No Saint Bernards or Great Danes or like large species. Large dogs or 2 dogs must be approved in writing prior to booking the cabin. 2 dogs will require 2 pet fees. Pet fees are $60 per dog for up to 4 days and $15 per day after the four days.
WiFi Available Year Around
If you are looking for that truely quintessential cabin experience...a private setting and amazing log cabin please consider a booking. The cabin is rustic but properly appointed with good cook ware and all you need for a great guest experience. And for serious coffee drinkers we have a French Press, Bean Grinder, Air Press, Italian Stove Top Espresso maker and of course a Mister Coffee. Proper Coffee on the screen porch or in front of the fire is something we take seriously.
Cheers........Fred and Sue
