The cabin has two bedrooms, bathroom with shower, living room with pull-out couch and gas-burning fireplace, family room with wood-burning stove, a/c, furnace, and a fully-equipped kitchen. We have DirecTV, a DVD player with a good collection of movies, as well as books and games for your entertainment at those times when you can drag yourself away from the water. We now have wifi!! You will find a charcoal and gas grill outside. We have a dock for your boat or for great fishing. We are located 25 miles north of Rice Lake and 20 minutes south of the famous tourist destination of Hayward, WI. There are ATV trails just down the road and two nearby boat landings. This is a cozy cabin for a family or couple getaway. We also have a pontoon with a 40 hp engine for rent. Inquire if interested in renting the pontoon.

A wonderful little cabin!

Despite the fact that i ended up on crutches 2 days before our trip, it was a wonderful stay and we enjoyed every minute of it. The pontoon was awesome and we spent a great deal of time on the water. The cabin was clean and cozy. Would definitely return!

Beautiful property in peaceful surroundings

We had a wonderful and relaxing week. Loved the screened porch patio and enjoyed breakfast and dinner overlooking the lake. Loved the eagles. The only downside is the size of the shower, so tiny. Loved the pontoon, worth every penny. Thanks Mary & Ryan

Peaceful Getaway

We truly enjoyed our week on Lake Chetak. The location was very quiet and very peaceful and the Eagles were absolutely gorgeous. When we were not touring the lake on the Pontoon, we spent most of our time relaxing on the very peaceful screened porch or enjoying a nice bonfire. My only wish is that the cabin had Wifi. That said, we plan on returning.

Great time

Had a wonderful time. Very relaxing and stress free. Caught more fish than we could possibly keep. We ended up catching and releasing most. We would highly recommend this cabin if you want a peaceful and relaxing getaway. Can’t forget the wildlife. Bald eagles above and deer everywhere.

Nice cabin

Nice location on the lake .was cold and rainy most of the week, so gas fireplace was great We rented the pontoon, but because of the weather didn't use it much. Fishing was tuff but we had good luck off the dock. We caught bluegill , bass ,perch, crappie and northern pike from the dock

Rest lake vacation

Very peaceful lakeside location! Good bluegill fishing right off the dock. Renting the pontoon made the vacation, we were on it every day. Easy drive to Hayward shopping and sites, lots of bar/grills in the area. The screened porch was a lifesaver, the mosquito conditions were prime with the wet summer. Owners right next door, were available but not intrusive at all. Cottage was very well kept and very comfortable. Very nice lakeside cottage, highly recommended!

Clean, quiet, well set up cabin

Very clean and has everything you need! Loved the screen porch so much we are going to add one to our home. The whole place has a nice open feel. Nice grill and appliances. Was a quiet week on the lake which was exactly what we wanted. Fishing was enough to keep you interested but could have been better.,. Beds were comfortable. Awesome place would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your cabin Ryan and Mary!

Great place on fabulous lake

The property setting is beautifully situated overlooking the lake. The cabin is roomy enough and nicely equipped. The screened in porch is a fabulous place to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The deck is a nice size and is the perfect spot to watch the sun set. A fish cleaning station with running water is awesome for cleaning the beautiful pan fish caught on Big Lake Chetac. The lake is fabulous with lots of room to have some fun and play, relax, or go fishing.

Nice getaway with a great view of lake

Definite rustic cabin, with great view of lake from deck, kitchen nice to work in with use of grill is handy. Used the pontoon that was available but fishing was not very good while there. Downfall for us was the availability of any wi-fi or phone use which we needed, and the size of bathroom/shower is very small. We rode our ATV a lot on the local trails which was great fun.

Family Vacation

My husband, 2 year old son, dog and I stayed 7 days here. Our intention was finding a cabin in Northern Wisconsin to return to yearly. Upon pulling up we knew this was the place. From the wall of windows over looking the lake, the quaint space, the screened in porch and all the way to the amazing dock and boat. This cabin had everything. It was perfect for our family to grow and still continue returning too, but small enough to be close together and create memories. The owners answered every question we had. We also have a SXS and the road in front of the cabin leads to trails to access near by restaurants, bars, and towns. Birchwood is such a beautiful quaint town, as well. The restaurants were delicious and the grocery store had everything we needed. Will definitely be returning.
