About this property

Welcome to our lake home on Island Lake in Barnes, Wisconsin. Island Lake is approximately 60 acres and roughly 50 feet deep. The lake is large enough for skiing and tubing, but small enough that it doesn't have heavy boat traffic. A very gentle walk to the lake leads to a zero entry beach with sugar sand and crystal clear water.

The cabin is very clean and cozy with all the amenities of home. It has 3 levels with a queen bed, single bed, and half-bath upstairs, a main floor queen bed and full bathroom, and a downstairs room with two twin beds, a sleeper sofa and a third full bathroom. There is an additional single bed that serves as a relaxing area on the main floor and space for an air mattress. While the cabin sleeps 8 comfortably, there is certainly room for more, especially if there are kids and/or guests don’t mind staying in tighter quarters.

The cabin includes a fully stocked kitchen, linens, bath towels and ceiling fans. Air conditioning was added in June of 2021. Our guests are set up with initial start up paper products such as toilet paper, paper towels & kleenex. Guests are asked to provide their own beach towels, additional paper products and disposable dining products (paper plates, cups, napkins, etc).

A lakeside deck with a table and chairs awaits you for coffee, cocktails or a card game. There is a bon fire pit near the lake as well as an adjacent deck right near the water, a paddle boat, canoe, and three kayaks ready for your use, and wildlife galore. Recreational boating activities are permitted between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. so that everyone is able to enjoy the lake.

Whether you stay at the cabin or venture out, you'll find so many activities to enjoy! It's the perfect distance from Hayward, WI -- just 25 miles for necessities, dining and entertainment, but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet of a cabin nestled in the peaceful Northern Wisconsin woods. Great ATV, snowmobile and cross country ski trails are accessible from the home.
