About this property

Loon's Nest Cabin on Lower Long Lake

Nestled amidst lush forests on a serene peninsula extending into Lower Long Lake, discover the tranquil haven of Loon’s Nest Cabin. Perched atop a hill, it offers panoramic lake vistas with two docks. Dating back to 1948, this rustic gem boasts an all-wood interior and a fieldstone fireplace, harmonizing timeless charm with modern comforts. A family retreat for over five decades, it beckons as an idyllic setting for family getaways, fishing excursions, water adventures, or work from the lake.

Welcome to Loon’s Nest Cabin on Lower Long Lake. The Cabin is located on a secluded, beautifully forested, peninsula that juts out into the middle of Lower Long Lake. The Cabin is perched atop a hill giving it views to the East for sunrises over the lake, and West for sunsets over the lake. The Cabin was built in 1948, and while it has been modernized over the years, it still retains its classic Northern Wisconsin Cabin Feel with an all wood interior and fieldstone fireplace. The Cabin has been in our family for over five decades and is a special place where we learned to swim, play cards with our grandmother, and fish with our grandfather. The Cabin interior features a full kitchen, breakfast nook, great room with lofted ceiling, family room, sun porch, large outdoor deck, 1.5 bathrooms, two bedrooms each with a king bed, and a large lofted bedroom perfect for kids with five beds. The Cabin exterior features a large lawn perfect for games, two separate sets of docks (we used one for swimming and one for boats), a pickle ball court, screened-in gazebo, a lakeside patio with fire pit (need burn permits), propane grill, and is surrounded by forests on all sides. ****The Cabin does not have air conditioning****

Lower Long Lake is an over 1100 acres will several large open areas of water perfect for water sports. Fish available to catch in this lake are Walleye, Musky, Bass, Northern Pike, and Panfish.

The Cabin is located on a private gravel & dirt road not suitable for very low ground clearance vehicles. The speed limit on this road is 15 MPH. The road runs past several neighbor’s homes with pets and children; drive slowly and carefully. We suggest arriving prior to sundown, finding Loon’s Nest after dark will be challenging.

There are four parking spaces: two in front of the garage and a driveway long enough to support two vehicles parked in tandem, or a vehicle and boat trailer, in front of the cabin. No other parking spots are available. Parking on the gravel road or on the lawn is not allowed. A map of these four spots will be provided.

The front door has an electronic keypad for entry. We will send you the entry code on your day of check-in. Please let us know how you would like to receive this code. (text, e-mail, phone call).

If you need anything during your stay we have a property manager who lives in the area that can assist you.

Wonderful stay! Lovely cabin on Long Lake. Comfortable beds, nice towels, nice cookware. Great layout with screened in porch and great deck looks over the lake. Swimming platform, pickle ball court, pontoon to fish and explore lake all well used by our family as well as great old board games at night. Host was great at communications and gave helpful suggestions. Would highly recommend!

Loon’s Nest is a delightful family lake retreat!

We recently had a wonderful week long stay at the Loons Nest! We were especially appreciative of the ease of communicating w/its host - very attentive and answered questions/any issues were dealt with promptly. This cabin is beautifully situated high on an isthmus, having two docks and pretty views from the cabin’s sunroom and kitchen dining area. We lucked out with the weather, however if a/c is important for you, please note that only the upper loft w/5 beds is air conditioned. The Bedding and mattresses are comfy - plenty of bath and beach towels. The kitchen is well appointed, with newer fridge and dishwasher - very convenient! The vintage stove/microwave is fully functional and fun to use!The waterfront area is comfortable w/ample room on the dock. We loved to watch the sunset from the seating area just above the dock. Long Lake is the MOST beautiful lake to swim in and you will hear and see the loons often! :) We did use the pontoon one day and really enjoyed that as well - it worked just as it should :) Thank YOU Dan for allowing us to stay at your beautiful cabin!
