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.

A Note About Dogs:

We LOVE dogs and we want our guests to enjoy their vacation with the whole family, including the furry members :-) Up to two dogs are allowed at this cabin with prior approval and an additional fee. That being said, please be mindful of whether our home is appropriate for your dog(s).

We may not be the vacation rental for you if your dog(s):

*Consider barking to be a favorite pastime;

*Chew things other than bones;

*Like to visit the neighbors unsupervised (we do not have a fenced-in yard), and/or;

*Use the house as a bathroom.

We ask that your dogs be supervised when at the cabin and crated when you are not (One large crate is available at the cabin). Also, it should not need to be said (but unfortunately needs to be, as we have had guests leave enough surprises for us), but PLEASE pick up after your dogs!! It is NOT the responsibility of our cleaners.
