This is a retro style lakeside cabin built in the 1960’s. It has had continuous improvements over the years as the pictures show, but it is an old-fashioned up north cabin. It is cleaned after every visitor by a professional cleaning company and well maintained, but please do not book without looking at the pictures or reading the honest description and write critical review because it is not a modern hotel room or recently built cabin or on this lake, sometimes a mansion, that’s not fair.
Also, we take pride in accepting pets! This puts additional wear and other results in the cabin and outside. Again, we work hard to prepare for every visitor, but if you are pet adverse, we cannot promise you every hair on the inside or evidence of pet presence on the outside was discovered and removed.
Enjoy the seasons on the clear 3,000 acre Round Lake near Hayward, Wisconsin, in this traditional lakeside cabin hidden from the hustle of the main lake on quiet Filter’s Bay. Have the best of both worlds, the quiet sunsets from the deck 20 feet from the shore, or the adventure of the big lake. Paddle your canoe or kayak through the lily pads in this shallow no wake 50-acre bay watching for eagles, nesting loons, ospreys, otters, and great blue herons. Let the children catch sunfish from the dock, snorkel over the weed beds watching for bass and northern, or just relax next to the lake while watching cedar wax wings, blue birds, Indigo Buntings, Goldfinches, Hummingbirds, and other that call the north woods home come to the bird feeders.
In the evening, enjoy a steak on the deck and relax next to the water at the fire pit. Boat through the cut to the big lake and you can fish for Musky, Northern Pike, Small mouth Bass, Walleye, or panfish. If needed, hire a local guide to help unlock the secrets of this deep clear lake. Ski over the clean sky-blue water, or swim at the sandbar just outside of the bay. The Round Lake Marina offers ski boats, pontoon boats, and fishing boats for rent by the hour or day. At the north end of the lake, have a picnic or camp for the night on the state-owned island. We can provide canoes, kayaks, or a rowboat if you wish.
The Cabin is private, with the closest neighboring cabin being more than 100 yards away. The lake shore is in its natural state, we do not mow, paths lead where you need, and the rest is wild. There is one bedroom with a twin bed, a mud room with bunk beds, one bath (yes indoors), and a kitchen and a living area, where the futon and chair fold out for additional sleeping. This is the perfect spot for a couple or a family plus pets. There is a Washer and Dryer in the cabin, TV with Dish, Radio, and all you may need in the kitchen. This is our guest cabin also, so the amenities are geared towards making our friends and family comfortable and usually are more than found in standard private rentals.
