About this property

6 Miles to Downtown Hayward! Full Recreation 500 Acre Lake; Quintessential Cabin

Magical wonder 35 feet from mystical Windigo Lake.

Picture perfect, panoramic views of this beautiful 525 acre lake from the south facing family room and wrap around deck. Cozy, Northwood’s cabin on over 1.6 acres with charming wood interior on main level and large 3 season room.

The renovated lower level features a generous master bedroom with gas fireplace, sizable bathroom with soaking tub and dual sinks, stacked washer/dryer and adorable bunk room.

As our cabin is pet friendly, we offer you the choice to bring your 'furry family' members. Each pet you bring or will list will run an added fee of $250.00 each for your week. Let us know if you require any special provisions, if bringing pets with you!

New that we now offer for 2019, -- is our 2019 Godfrey Sweetwater Pontoon boat, seats up to 11. This boat is perfect for lazy, slow "sailing" along the waters of this beautiful lake, or great for those looking to explore our lake. This boat is pure comfort! The motor is a 60hp Yamaha Four Stroke. Please only use Non Oxy 91 Octane gas when you choose to rent this amenity... Contact us for details on costs associated with this rental pontoon!

Enjoy the 50+ dock, low elevation and sandy bottom swimming area, perfect for swimming, floating and water games. Relax amidst the charming landscaping while lounging in the Adirondack chairs on the fish-shaped stone patio.

About the host

Hosted by John and Chris Knapek

Host profile image
John and Chris -
We are from Lakeville, MN but now live in Kissimmee, Fl with our 6 (yes, 6!!) kids!

Why they chose this property

Chris's parents also have a lake home in the area. We have been coming up here for many years and have completely fallen in love with the area and the community. We even honeymooned up here!

When we had our own opportunity to find our own place, the location choice was the easy part. We knew we wanted to be close to downtown and everything that Hayward has to offer. When we saw the charm and character of this cabin with the potential to expand the living area, and the absolute stunning Windigo lake views just 35 feet from the waters edge, we knew it had to be ours! Plus, we are located only 6 miles away from downtown Hayward!! This makes an easy trip for that cup of sugar, or that gallon of milk you may need! :)

We continue to put our personal stamp on the property, and we know it will be a long process to get everything exactly the way that we want it. It is a labor of love and legacy for our family and we look forward to sharing our special 'little piece of heaven' with you and yours!!
