Enjoy this large 4 bedroom/3 bath north woods getaway on beautiful Lac Courte O'reilles Lake located just south of Hayward, WI. This 5,000 acre lake provides great Walleye, Muskie, and Bass fishing, ample room for recreation water sports, a large sandbar for throwing the anchor in, playing in the water and socializing, as well as dock accessible restaurants/bars for meals and entertainment including live bands. We have a private dock that allows for space available for a boat and sandy beach that is great fun for adults and young children. Miles of ATV/Snow mobile trails are also accessible with a short trailering away.
The lake home is situated in a small bay at the northeast corner of Lac Courte O'reilles Lake, a short boat ride (or snow mobile ride) to Trails End Resort. Enjoy some dock fishing, an outdoor grill for an evening meal, and a camp fire with a great view. Take a 10-15 minute drive to Hayward for shopping, mini-golf, and a trip the famous candy store. Several golf options and restaurants close by as well as LCO Casino.
Boats- LCO is an amazing boating lake. It's clear clean water is excellent for swimming, skiing and fishing. The lake has a secret sand bar where boaters like to anchor and swim but the majority of the lake is generally fairly deep and has a sandy bottom. We have several pontoon options we rent out to guests. We have two 2021 Benningtons, one with a 90 hp motor and one with 125 HP motors. We have several cabins on this lake so it's first come first server for the pontoon and it often books up early. Your Bayshore Retreat rental also includes a private dock to dock your boat. Additional water toys and boats are available to rent on the lake. Please ask for a list of places. Several well maintained public boat launches are also located near the cabin. Power is available at the lake shore for charging boat batteries etc.
Fire pit and gas or charcoal grill- There is a nice fire pit by the lake for you to relax by and enjoy star gazing or just enjoy the lake and the outdoors. We also supply a Gas Grill with propane on the upper deck for our guests to use free of charge. The charcoal grill we do not supply the charcoal. There are also lawn chairs by the lake to sit back and relax while enjoying the lake views or star gazing at night. The screened in porch also has a table and chairs where you can sit and have a meal or play games while still enjoying the north woods.
Bayshore Retreat is located approximately 9 miles south of the city of Hayward. It's about 140 miles northeast of the Twin Cities Metro area.

Hi there,
So glad to hear you loved the cabin! We'd absolutely love to have you back again in the future. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review—it really means a lot to us.
Warm wishes,
Jon B. and the Manage Cabins Crew
The floor plan of the property was just right for our family of nine. There was plenty of space for meals and down time. We were pleased with the cleanliness and well supplied kitchen. Outdoors, the beach was a winner for the kids. The shallow water depth to the end of the dock was perfect for little ones. We rented a pontoon and brought kayaks to explore the beauty of Lac Courte Oreilles.
Property was clean and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Owners and managers are great to work with. 2nd time stay here and would recommend to anyone.
nice cabin, could use more parking or a turn around for boats, otherwise we had a nice time

Hi Tim,
I'm surprised by your comments about extra parking. This home has a whole pull through lane where guests can park boats and boat trailers. Although it's not right next to the house it's less then 20 yards away from the front door. We did recently put up some better signs to help guests with parking for boat and snowmobile trailers. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Beautiful, relaxing cabin with a nice lake view. You're in the middle of the woods but only 15 minutes from town. Only 5 minutes from two casinos. The house was extremely well stocked and clean.
A group of 10 of us stayed on a snowmobile trip. This was a perfect spot for the area. Place was very nice, then we found the basement. Definitely recommend this property.
I was in town for a couple weeks of work and the property had plenty of room for me and the crew!

Cabin is just as listed. We had a delightful time! The beach was perfect for children with a gradual slope and was easy to navigate with the pontoon. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Thank you for the fantastic 5 out of 5 stars! We're thrilled that you had a delightful time at Manage Cabins, LLC. It's wonderful to know that the cabin met your expectations, and you enjoyed the perfect beach for children and easy navigation with the pontoon.
We appreciate your recommendation, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another fantastic stay in the future!
Stayed for our annual snowmobile trip. The place was clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Trail access was right outside the door

Thank you for the review Jason. This is one of my favorite places to headquarter for snowmobile trips. The parking is good for trailers and the trail runs right out in the middle of the lake in front of the house.
Hope to see you again in the future. If there is anything we could do to make this 5 stars in your book vs four, please PM me. Jon
We had a great time at Bay Shore. The house is exactly as advertised, and very clean and well appointed. We were especially impressed with the folks at Manage Cabins. We stayed for a week in mid-June; apparently that's when the swimmer's itch parasite blooms. We wouldn't rent again in June because of that. So if you plan to swim, do some research first. Otherwise, it was absolutely perfect.
Nice property. Very clean and lots of space if you had a lot of people like we did (8 people). We rented the 90hp pontoon which was also very clean and well maintained. Water is extra clear and highly recommend staying here.

Hi Ryan,
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your group had a great time at the LOC Bayshore property and enjoyed the spaciousness and cleanliness. It's wonderful to know that the pontoon rental added to your experience. We appreciate your high recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another stay.
Best regards,

Very comfortable and well maintained vacation house! Nice we could tie the boat up to the dock. Bring a fishing cart (my beach fishing cart worked great) to bring things back n forth to the house.

So glad you enjoyed your stay Scott. Happy to host you again any time.

My family enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room but super cozy! Loved the reclining sofas in the great room. It’s a bit of a hike uphill to get back to the cabin from lake but manageable. Always a bonus when you can bring our pet! Great communication from the host as well!
Overall nice property. It is great for snowmobiling as you can access the trail right from the house. Parking is a little tough with trailers, but manageable.

Thanks for the nice review Brent. Just a note for future guests on trailer parking, there is a pull through parking lane up by the dumpster that can fit two trucks and two trailers in addition to the regular parking for this unit. Sorry we didn't make that more clear Brent. It makes snowmobile trailer parking a breeze.
Jon
This was perfect for our family of 6-9. Beautiful log home, great view, sandy beach for swimming (bring water shoes it has alot of sticks about 10 feet out!) and for 6 year old grandson, fishing off the dock. We used the screened porch more than any room for family games and dining!

Hi Kelly,
Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm thrilled to hear that your family had a great time at the cabin. It’s wonderful that the screened porch became your go-to spot for games and dining—such a cozy place to make memories! The sandy beach and fishing off the dock sound like they were a hit with your grandson too.
We’d love to welcome you and your family back for more fun and relaxation in the future!
Best regards,

Great place to stay for snowmobile trip. Went with a group of 10. Works out very well and was able to access the lake right fro the property. Everything was as advertised at the cabin. Will considering coming back again if we come back to this area.
