About this property

Relax in our quiet, lakefront cabin

Nestled on cozy Shay Lake in northern Wisconsin, Lone Cedar Cabin is perfect for a week on the lake or a weekend hitting the trails! Our peaceful 1300 square foot cabin sits on 50 feet of lakefront property. With 3 bedrooms and a spacious living area, there is plenty of room for groups up to 12. (Note the additional per person fee for groups over 8.)

Shay Lake is yours for fishing, swimming, or boating. Rent our 22 foot pontoon boat to make your stay more fun!** Relax at the cabin or check out the surrounding areas of Lakewood, Suring, and Crivitz. In the summer, try whitewater rafting, golfing, biking, gift shops, wineries, casinos, or horseback riding. For a winter getaway, add ice fishing, cross country skiing, and snowmobiling to the list! Information on nearby attractions and activities are available in the cabin or use the Wi-Fi to plan your own adventure.

Oconto County has 450+ miles of ATV trails and many snowmobile trails. Trail maps for both are available in the cabin. We have plenty of parking for your trailers and vehicles, plus you can connect to the trails directly from the cabin. In the summer, just a quick ride out of the mile long driveway will bring you to the trails where you can travel in any direction, seeking out your favorite destination, bar, casino, or restaurant. If traveling by sled, a ride across the lake will get you to the snowmobile trails or head out the driveway where you can take a quick ditch ride and hook directly up to the groomed trails.

**Pontoon rental available:
$300 for a 2 night stay
($100 for each additional night)
$700 for a 7 night stay
(We provide 11 adult life vests and a throwable flotation device)

Let us know if you want to rent the pontoon as well. We will add it to your booking and send you a new quote.

Memories made to last a lifetime

This was our third time staying at the Lone Cedar and our never disappoints. We have 6 adults and 6 kids (9 and under) and it's a blast. We enjoy the fishing and swimming with the use of the boat, kayaking around the lake. Enjoy sunrises and sunsets along with the loons and eagle. The firepit is nice. We love the games. Our time was amazing. The hosts are fantastic. Thank you so much for everything

Family fishing trip

The property was very clean and spacious. We did not expect to not have phone service so getting the keypass ways tricky. Peaceful but pretty far away from everything. Obviously people like that, just wasn't for us.

Lovely lake getaway

The cabin was lovely! Everyone slept comfortably in the large rooms. Four young kids took over one of the bunk rooms and loved hanging out and having a “sleepover” Beautiful lake nice and quiet. The cabin was a perfect retreat to hang out and relax! Lake was great for swimming! We all had a ball!

We loved our first family vacation. The cabin was super clean and spacious. With a baby next time would bring a gate for the steps from kitchen to living area. Pontoon rental totally worth it. It was relaxing, quiet and safe. Would recommend and will rent again.

Very good property, and cabin has a lot of great amenities. We did have a great time, one thing that was a little bothersome was the owners stayed 2 houses down and did show up multiple times. Other than that everything else was great.

Amazing lake cottage

Rented the cabin for a family vacation. Property is so remote and beautiful as is the cottage. Big, roomy, very well kept up by the owners. We had an amazing time hiking the wooded trails, kayaking, fishing, swimming, and enjoying campfires at night. It was the perfect relaxing vacation needed! Hope to visit here again in the future.

Wonderful and Relaxing

Peaceful stay. Boat rental was worth it. Loved it, would stay there again. Cabin had everything we needed. And when we did have questions, hosts responded quickly. Not as secluded as I thought it was going to be but it we were one of 3 boats on the lake everyday so that was awesome.

A lovely stay

I just wanted to say that my family and I had a lovely time at your home. The size was perfect for my wife, 3 kids, my brother and myself. We also really appreciated the flexibility with the pontoon boat as well. Meeting Pa was very fortuitous as he was parking the boat at the top of the hill, because I had forgot the pin number for the door, and didn't have service to look it up on my phone. The house had anything we could have possibly needed. The only concern we would share, is that it was VERY hot in the house, and the AC didn't seem to even come close to keeping up as the thermostat regularly would only get down to the lower 80's which made for some fairly uncomfortable sleeping. It could have just been a crazy hot week, but wanted to voice the concern if there is a larger issue, because we had the air on, but it was blowing warm. That is the only negative we could possibly offer though as the house was wonderful. Thank you!!

Great time at the lake

My friends and I rent this cabin every year. We have a weekend of fishing, boating and relaxing. Its a great small lake. Very quiet with very little boat traffic. The fishing is good for bass and bluegills. The cabin is well stocked and clean. Highly recommended.

Great place for a long weekend with family!

We had a great weekend at this cabin tucked in the woods on a sweet little lake. Cabin had all the needed amenities. Lots of towels, cookware, grill, fire pit and bundles of wood. Plenty of room inside and out for our party of 10 including 5 adults and 5 kids. Kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and all around the lake. Everyone enjoyed relaxing and floating in the lake!

Quiet and Remote

Some difficulty with GPS finding the address. You turn on a grandma’s lane and take a drive through the woods. It was absolutely gorgeous but at first I was panicking that we were not on the correct road. All is well, just keep driving. Great hosts, lovely cabin. Small lake that we really enjoyed kayaking on daily. We also brought inflatable tubes and the kids had fun playing on those. It’s the most clear lake water we’ve ever seen.

Very peaceful retreat

We had a very nice time at this peaceful cabin. We loved the small lake that only had a few other boaters/fishermen. We enjoyed the fire pit every night right by the water. Everyone caught a fish when we took the pontoon out on the lake. This was one of the most well stocked houses we've rented, with plenty of towels and games. We would bring our own DVDs for rain days next time since we don't have a Hulu or Netflix account. The only drawback is that the yard is rather small, which is fine for most, but our 3 little boys needed a little more room to run. Overall we had a great stay!

Wonderful week on Shay Lake

We had the most amazing time staying at the Nelson's cabin! This was our 2nd time and it was just as great as the 1st. We had 6 adults and 6 kids ages 7 and under. They had everything we needed for a good time. We also rented the pontoon which is a must! So much swimming, fishing and just riding around the lake. The loons were an added bonus. They are so fun to watch. We can't say enough about this place. The hosts are incredibly easy to work with! So helpful and quick to respond. Thank you again for everything! We made the best memories as an extended family.

Grandma's Birthday Surprise

We wanted to surprise my mom with a fun, relaxing trip to enjoy hanging out with her granddaughters up North. The Lone Cedar was the perfect choice. Clean, well stocked and comfortable. Large kitchen and living areas to hang out with the family (the pictures don't do it justice). First floor bedroom and bath, ramp and close/level lake access made it so easy for grandma to get around. My daughters loved the upper level with lots of bunks to choose from and all the board games. Pontoon rental was totally worth it. Had the lake to ourselves to cruise and fish. Lots of bluegills and some nice bass and pike. We had so much fun making good family memories. We would definitely recommend a stay at the Lone Cedar!
