Rustic Clam formally known as "Lakeview"...A Cozy Log Cabin Getaway

Rustic Clam is a comfortable 3 bedroom, 1 bath with shower/tub, log vacation cabin located on the wooded shores of Lower Clam Lake. Enjoy the magnificent Northwoods setting in the heart of the Chequamegon National Forest – the West Fork of the Chippewa River flows out of Lower Clam Lake at this location over a logging era rock dam. The cozy deck and large yard with fire pit, grill, twinkle lights, patio furniture, benches for fire pit and picnic table overlook the lake. We recently put in a brand new chain link fence in the back yard as well as new dock and new living room furniture...all in 2022. We have also made several upgrades since purchasing the cabin in 2018, also including new beds in the lower level, futon and brand new flooring throughout and appliances.

There is a private dock and row boat as well as a newer pedal boat included with the cabin rental. You can access the launch for your boat on the side of the property which goes down to the back back and our own private new dock. The property also includes a swing set for children to play.

The property at Rustic Clam is very quiet and has a footbridge that leads to another property. This footbridge is over the mouth of the Chippewa River and offers a tranquil sound of water flowing which you can hear from the cabin and if you have the window opened in the back bedroom, you will fall asleep to this peaceful sound. We are also located on a small back bay which opens up to Lower Clam Lake. There is a small sandy/gravel area next to the dock which is good for kids and allows for wading in the water and while we do not swim in the lake for fear of fish...lol, several of our guests have thrown out floaties and grabbed a cold one in the back bay. I've also seen people out in the main lake swimming from time to time. It is a quiet lake so you will not have much water traffic.

This red pine log cabin contains a living room, fully equipped kitchen, full bathroom, 2 main floor bedrooms with a one queen bed and one full size bed, a loft bedroom with 2 twin beds and futon which sleeps 2. The living room is furnished with a “smart” tv as well as a retro wood burning fireplace. There are also many games, magazines and books available. The kitchen has a microwave, gas stove, full size refrigerator as well as fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, crock pot, toaster, and just about anything else you need.

We do provide linens but do not provide towels so please be sure to bring your own.

Lower Clam Lake offers good fishing for walleye, musky, crappie and bluegills as well as generally quiet waters for other recreational activities. Clam Lake is conveniently located in the heart of the Chequamegon Forest and offers access to snowmobile, ATV and ski trails as well as many hiking and biking trails. There are numerous lakes and amazing fall colors and variety of wildlife viewing opportunities. Clam Lake is also known as the Elk Capital of Wisconsin and more often than not you will be able to see these majestic animals.

The town of Clam Lake is home to a few bars and restaurants as well as a convenience store / gas station and the surrounding area has some amazing restaurants, bars and good old fashion Wisconsin supper clubs.

We are a pet friendly cabin for well behaved dogs. We recently added a chain link fence out back to keep you fur kids and small children safe. Please be responsible and pick up after your pet as well as keep on a leash when not in the fenced area. The forest is a big place and we’d hate to see your fur baby get lost. We also want to be respectful to neighboring cabins and homes.

Rustic Cozy Little Cabin
The cabin is located in a nice peaceful area. It has a great private dock & the ease of launching our kayaks was wonderful. This cozy little cabin had all of the amenities a person could want or need. Communication from the host was great, also. They were very helpful with directions to the cabin once we got to the area & about other things. Definately a nice peaceful, relaxing stay.

The nicest getaway!
We had an absolute blast at this property! It was a little small for us 5 plus our two large dogs but we made it work and loved being able to have access to the lake to fish or kayak whenever we wanted! The hosts were amazing and answered every question I threw their way. We also got to ride the nearby trails and those were FUN! 10/10 recommend this place! It was quite a hike for us (8-9 hour drive) but worth it!

Wonderful cabin with our furry friends
My husband and I stayed for a weekend in August with our two dogs and it was the perfect weekend away. The cabin is beautifully done and very welcoming. Having the fenced in backyard for the dogs was the real win for us, I’d highly recommend staying here, my husband and I would book again in a heartbeat.

We had a great stay! The cabin is very nice. Beds were comfy. Everyone in the area was helpful with fishing tips. Our only complaint would be there is no air conditioning only fans.

Peaceful Getaway
This was the perfect location for a relaxing few days away. It was a great home base for our day trips up to Bayfield, Copper Falls, and Lake Namakogan for swimming. The back yard made for an excellent place to relax around a fire after the day’s activities. The cabin was clean and well equipped for our stay. Would recommend for anyone looking to spend a peaceful long weekend away!

Fantastic 4th!
We brought our in-laws for a vacation over the 4th of July with our 2 dogs and had a fantastic time! The cabin is set up perfectly for dogs. The fenced in back yard around the firepit area makes it so relaxing. It is a beautiful property and thr walk bridge is very charming. Made some wonderful memories!

Great Lake Escape
Was a very enjoyable weekend. Check in was easy, cabin was as described. The fence was great for our little dog. Local restaurants were close. The highlight was the location on the lake. Very calm little bay with a constant calming sound of water flowing into a river.

Relaxing Get Away
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Rustic Clam. It is a true log cabin with all the amenities. It has everything you need for relaxing time in the north woods. We had our dog with and there are very few properties with a fenced in yard, allowing him to roam around freely. This was a key perk for us. The immediate access to the lake, available row and pedal boats and pier make lake access simple. We kayaked, fished, swam, grilled out and had campfires. A truly wonderful experience.

Excellent communication
The Rustic Clam is an excellent place for my family to enjoy the Northwoods. This is our 2nd time staying at the Rustic Clam and our whole family looks forward to the visit. The cabin is well equipped for cooking, a great lounging space, and a loft that my 5 and 8 year-old love. Due to the lack of snow and change in our Birkie events, Julie had several suggestions for meals and activities in addition to the outstanding binder of information in the welcome basket. This year we ventured up to Copper Falls State Park and had the entire Doughboy waterfall hike almost to ourselves! Julie has been really quick to answer any questions that we have. Rustic Clam is a gem on VRBO.

Visiting family
Great access to lower clam lake via the small fishing boat! Loved the backyard area for our furbabies! The large log above the stairs that seems to be an issue to many, was not an issue for our family whatsoever! Enjoyed all the windows in the house to be able to get fresh air. However, if you are looking for complete seclusion and peace and quiet during the day, this may not be the area for you, but it definitely is at night! Very cute, quaint place and we definitely enjoyed our time there!

Great get-away
This was a great space for our group! From when we first booked , the host Julie was very quick to respond to our messages. The house was great. Bedrooms downstairs were great for adults while the loft was the perfect space for the kids. There were many indoor board games provided for us on the rainy days. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you may need - pots, pans, coffee maker… even a crock pot. The small Bay Area on the lake had an abundance of frogs, snails, and other wildlife for the kids to catch and release as well as a good swimming depth. Overall our stay was great! Thanks again!

Cozy Cabin
The Rustic Clam was a perfect place to stay for exploring the Cable & Hayward area during the winter months. The hosts responded quickly with any questions and were extra accommodating with the changing winter weather. The kitchen was well equipped. I especially appreciated having sharp knives with which to prepare meals. Our kids really enjoyed the loft for a place to sleep and hang out while the adults were able to relax in a comfortable living room, enjoying the retro wood fireplace. The waterfall behind the cabin was still lending its relaxing voice, even in winter. We are cross country skiers so this cabin is perfectly located to access many different parts of the Birkiebeiner trail system as well as other local trails around Cable.

So sad to leave!
We just left this property and it was everything we hoped for! Such a cute little hidden gem close to Clam Lake also about a half hour from Hayward. We went to Copper Falls one day, went to Mellen to golf one day and made a few trips to Hayward. Julie is AWESOME!! She gave us so many cool places to check out and was so good at responding to any questions we had right away! We took the boat out fishing almost every day, hung out on the pier, had numerous campfires and our pup loved going for swims every morning and jumping off the pier. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for quiet little cozy cabin getaway! We hope to be back some day. Thanks for an unforgettable trip, Julie and Dave!

Lovely cozy getaway
We had a great week at Rustic Clam. The cabin had everything we could want during our stay to relax and be comfortable. The room sizes were cozy, but there was plenty of space for the two of us and our two medium-large dogs. The beds and living room furniture were comfortable, strong WiFi and multiple streaming services eased the rainy nights, the kitchen and bath were fully stocked, and the backyard offered everything we needed to enjoy our coffee on the deck, take out the paddle boat, grill some burgers, and roast marshmallows. Plus, multiple strong fans kept us cool. As others mentioned, the cabin is close to the neighbors, but I didn’t feel it when we were inside or in the backyard. And even when we did see them, it was from a respectful distance and they were friendly—even offering us use of their canoe! The cabin is right off the highway so occasionally we’d hear loud vehicles when outside. Neither issue was a big deal for us. For us, the location was great. We liked that it was only five minutes to town to pick up the miscellaneous food/personal items we forgot before hitting the road to the near endless opportunities for hiking/biking in the region. The fenced backyard was a real treat for the dogs, as was the location on the secluded bay, so that they could splash around and we could enjoy the peace of the water and throw in a fishing line. Next time we’ll bring our canoe—it would be easy launch for any boat. Overall, great place and we hope to return.

Quaint
The cabin is a neat place in a beautiful area with lots to do if you enjoy the outdoors. Inside of the cabin is a calm environment where you can relax after a long day of fishing and hiking. If you enjoy your privacy when you are outside I would recommend flipping the camera up that watches everything going on in the backyard. The pictures are a little misleading, it looks like in the pictures that it is off on by its own, the cabin is located between two other cabins. Fella next door was banging on his pontoon all weekend pretty much as soon as the sun came up. Slightly annoying. We had nice weather and the bugs were not to much of a bother. I do recommend some spray if you plan on doing any hiking though. Julie was nice enough. 4/5 stars due to not being notified that there are cameras they can watch whenever. (I get why they are there but it's unnecessary to have one in the backyard when Julie claimed they were for her to know when guests show up. Who's going to show up in the backyard?) Overall the experience was good and the hosts did not bother us any. The only thing I recommend to the host to make the stay even better is by getting a new shower head because that thing barely works. Thank you for the place to stay while we got away from our busy lives for a weekend!

Adorable cabin, quite,peaceful.
We loved the cabin and it was a peaceful place. The sound of the waterfall was really special and the neighbers weren't too close, just close enough to give you a feeling of security. The enclosed area for the dogs was super. We sat out there and the dogs could roam. That was great them not have to always be leashed. The hosts couldnt have been nicer. Alway replied right away and went out of their way to make our stay special. The only thing i wished was that there was someplace to go for a walk without driving. The only place was along the highway and it was fairly busy and the traffic was fast. Everything is private property. No little trails to walk through the woods. We are thinking of renting this place again next year. property give you asecurity

Perfect Getaway
Adorable cabin! Felt like home. Quiet location. Wasn't able to enjoy swimming in the lake too much due to cold weather, so was grateful for Netflix for the little ones! Cabin was fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. EXTREMELY comfortable beds!!! The book Julie has that gives ideas and locations for things to do was very handy. Kids did a lot of hiking, went into Hayward for a day, dining options were helpful also. Overall, the accommodations were fantastic and VERY clean! Our much needed family vacation was a success! Thank you so very much Julie!
