Christmas Open Secluded Getaway Access to 2 Lakes & Outdoor Sauna

Great Fishing, Swimming, & Relaxing: Enjoy spectacular sunrises over Big Chetac Lake and then relax with a cold one to enjoy the sunset over a small private lake. The deck has a built in fire pit and gazebo to enjoy outdoor living to the fullest and the view can't be beat! Sweat out those toxins in the large outdoor sauna with changing room located next to the deck. The master bedroom has its own private deck with views of both lakes. The heavily wooded lot is 2.9 acres and there is tons of room to explore. Fish Big Chetac or enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of the small lake behind the house. Great fishing on Big Chetac over 2000 acres to explore!

Interior has the Up North Feeling with pine tongue and groove siding. The kitchen has a dishwasher and a extra large farm sink. The bathrooms have ceramic tile throughout. The basement has a 3rd bathroom and lots of fun activities.

Big Chetec is a great lake for recreation and fishing with over 2,000 acres of 'boatable' water to explore. There are multiple places on the lake to rent fishing boats or pontoons so that you can enjoy the sand bar on the lake as well as a couple of islands to explore and potentially camp on. The property has 700ft of wooded lake shore with a dock for your boat and for swimming. You will need to cross the road to get to the Big Chetec Lake front but it will be worth it!

This is a great place to come any time of year with nearby attractions in Birchwood, Hayward, Spooner, and Rice Lake. The cabin is surrounded by many ATV/Snowmobile trails to enjoy and you will love exploring the wooded lot. 4 Wheel drive is recommended in the winter to get up the driveway.

If you prefer to stay at home you can enjoy a Foosball, ping pong, and air hockey in the basement. You can also choose to snuggle up with a good book on either of the decks or in the cozy living room.

Loved the lakes!
Great stay overall! We loved the option of exploring both lakes and our son caught fish at both locations. We did lots of swimming and kayaking in the big lake and the water was warm. Beautiful deck and fire pit area too. Although the mosquiitos were thick outside once we started the fire at night they didn't both us and we were able to enjoy smores and campfire time. Just a heads up there is a decent amount of walking to both lakes, including steps and slopes. Overall a great house and location!

Very nice stay. The cabin was clean with plenty of space for our family. Had everything that you needed. The lake was beautiful, we rented a pontoon and spent a lot of time on it. Also enjoyed the kayaks and Lily pad.

We had a great time.
There are plenty of different activities to keep everyone happy. From the sauna, to the games and tv's for indoor activities. Then outdoors you have 2 lakes to choose from. There were a ton of mosquitoes and horse flies, but it has been an extremely rainy year. Thankfully we had almost no rain for our entire stay and were able to enjoy both lakes. The road between the lake and the house was busier than expected for such a remote area. It is not a problem crossing to go to the lake, it helps if you listen to make sure there is not a car coming around the corner. We brought our bikes thinking we'd bike around on the country roads, but we didn't feel like it would have been safe on a narrow winding highway with no shoulders. Plenty of water activities and equipment to use. The rear lake is surrounded by a bog, it is pretty cool, but only the daring would probably want to try swimming in it. There is also a beaver den right by the dock and we regularly saw beavers. Thanks for letting us rent this place, we had a great time.

Highly Recommend
A great range of activities, both indoors and outdoors. The secluded private lake was especially enjoyable for fishing and wildlife viewing. It felt like we were at a remote Canadian lake. The kids enjoyed fishing, swimming, and kayaking in Lake Chetac. Very comfortable beds and spacious layout. Good all-around vacation spot that reminded me of my childhood trips up north.

Family time
The house was very clean and fully stocked. We were very impressed with everything that was included with the rental. It was a long walk to both of the lakes, but once we got there it was great. It was a good house for a large group, plenty of beds as well as extra bedding. The basement did get cool , even with the air off, but we just added another blanket at night!

Family Time
Overall, it worked well for our family. We loved the huge kitchen table. This was one of the few times our family gathering (11 people) could accommodate everyone at one time to eat and play games. We enjoyed the variety of games in the basement (air hockey, ping-pong, etc). We didn't realize that there isn't any beach access by either of the docks, so our kids didn't want to swim where they couldn't easily touch. Fishing off the dock on the big lake was fruitful. Although it was a bit tricky to get the canoes and kayaks down to the waterfront and back up on the racks, we did enjoy paddling around.

Quiet Woodland Getaway
We came here for our girls weekend, and really enjoyed ourselves. The deck had a great overlook of the woods and the gazebo was a nice getaway from the mosquitoes. It was on and off raining all weekend and there were plenty of board games to play. We also went river tubing (Jack’s Canoe Rental 40 minute drive) and had a great time. The big lake was clean and refreshing to swim in. Something to be aware of though, if you have mobility difficulties, neither the big lake or the little lake will be accessible to you. The big lake has a dock with a ladder, but the shore is not a walkout and the little lake’s path would be too difficult. The host was kind and communicated quickly.

We had a such a great time at the cabin. The property was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and utensils for cooking. The cabin was really spacious and the basement was a hit with the whole family! Jon was a great host and quick to answer all our questions. We hope to come back when the lake isn’t frozen but we still had a great time snow shoeing the ice age trail. It was perfect!

A very nice rental. The place was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Jon is an excellent host and responded to our questions quickly. Our group had several trailers with ATV’s which was not ideal for turning around in the driveway but we were able to park them on his property across the road so it worked out okay.

Northwoods vacation rental
Lovely home with everything you need for a comfortable relaxing vacation! Property owner was very responsive to any questions we had. House was well kept and very clean. It was furnished with everything we needed and extra attention to the smallest of details, like nightlights throughout, flyswatters, hair dryers in bathrooms and both a regular and kuerig coffee maker. We loved the huge living room sofa and dining room table that had room for all of us! The game room in the basement was enjoyed by all, as was the zip line on the way to the back lake! We enjoyed paddling around Lake Chetek in the canoes and kayaks provided. This was an excellent rental property and we highly recommend it! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
