Firewood is also on the property for your use. Sunsets can be seen from the dock. Smith Lake is home to loons, eagles, and many other forms of wild life.

Beautiful property with plenty to do at the cabin, and only 3 miles from activities in Hayward. We were pleasantly surprised to have wifi, and a third twin size bed in the loft area. The cabin was perfect for our family (2 adults and 3 kids ages 12-16). Clean, well stocked, beautiful view of the lake.

The Lazy Loon checked all the boxes for our Up North getaway and the cabin amenities were top notch! The beds were comfortable, the cleanliness exceeded my high standards and our family of 4 enjoyed everything from s’mores over the campfire, canoeing and paddle boating (provided), fishing off the dock, tubing, kneeboarding, and paddle boarding which I highly recommend giving a try as this lake is perfect for beginners (like ourselves). I’m so grateful for the memories that our boys will have from this trip! We are already looking forward to booking for next year!

Overall property was super clean. Very Cute. Well decorated. Nice quiet property on the lake. There were a couple houses not too far away, but only saw one or two other boats on a busy July weekend. The main reason i didn’t give it 5 stars was the AC situation. It didn’t work when we got there (small wall unit upstairs). The owner did communicate as well as she could to get it running (there is zero cell service at this location with AT&T). Finally got it running after a bunch of texts/ while trying to put the kids down. weird unit/ very loud. also there is no Ac (or even fan) in the master bedroom. got very hot even with door open and if you wanted privacy would have been even worse. Adding a small ac unit to bedroom on first floor would be a great addition. or at least a fan. overall property was as described. and super clean. had pleasant stay generally.

Beautiful location and perfect cabin! We loved the paddle boat and canoes as well! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the proximity to the neighbors and the higher noise level.

Perfect Get Away

Once again, we had a fabulous stay at the Lazy Loon. Although the weather was a bit cool and rainy, we still managed a remarkable vacation filled with fishing, campfires, and relaxing with a view of the lake. The cabin is beautiful and our family enjoyed every minute of our time there. The perfect northwoods experience.

Totally enjoyed our stay! Very relaxing and so many fun things to do. Enjoyed a slower pace of life as we watched the wildlife on and surrounding the lake. My husband was out fishing on the dock each morning with the sunrise. Beautiful sunsets each evening also!

Fabulous Vacation

Another fabulous week of vacation spent at the Lazy Loon cabin. The cabin is pristine and the perfect setting for a quiet and relaxing getaway. The lake is not overly busy and provides excellent fishing. We had marvelous weather and spent a lot of time on the lake. Hayward is so close and has many interesting shops to experience. We're already looking forward to our next stay.

beautiful little cabin, quiet lake

The cabin was very clean and efficient for the use by 5 people. The lake was calm and quiet. Usually only one or two boats out at any given time. The water level at the dock was rather low, and the weeds go out quite a ways. It made fishing limited to (very)weedless options from the dock. We enjoyed the canoe and paddle boat and caught enough fish to fry for dinner.

Lazy Loon

We had a great mini-moon at the Lazy Loon! We brought our side by side and had a blast on the trails near by. We also spent a day golfing at Spider Lake Golf Resort and then at the black iron bar and grill - the steak bites are SO good. The cabin was clean, comfy, and had everything we needed! Walmart and grocery stores were close by for any last minute items. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating, we would for sure stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Wanless

My husband and I have always dreamed of owning a cabin in northern Wisconsin. We started the journey to our dream in 2012. After viewing several properties over several months, we picked the property on Smith Lake and fell in love! We located a log home builder close to our home and began the building process. We love our cabin on Smith Lake. We have fallen in love with the Loons on the property thus the name Lazy Loon Cabin.

Why they chose this property

Smith Lake offered everything we wanted in a lake. It's quiet but large enough to boat and participate in all kinds of water sports. It has a family feel and great neighbors.
