**Welcome to Your Northwoods Adventure Basecamp!**
Looking for the perfect place to gather, relax, and explore? Whether you're planning a family reunion, snowmobile or ATV club ride, golf outing, girls’ weekend, corporate retreat, or a getaway with your fishing crew, this spacious home is your all-season destination for fun and connection. Or simply bring your favorite people and enjoy some downtime in the beauty of Wisconsin’s Northwoods.
This home does NOT have direct lake access, but is located near the scenic Chetac Chain of Lakes, this property offers spectacular views, abundant wildlife, and year-round outdoor activities. The home features a large backyard perfect for games, gatherings, and bonfires, with direct access to trails and the serenity of the forest.
**Hit the Trails — Right from the Driveway!** We’re located near the Tuscobia ATV and Snowmobile Trail, with instant access across the road to the trail system. This trail runs for 65 miles and is well-maintained and clearly marked. Hikers will love being close to the renowned Ice Age Trail, and biking enthusiasts can enjoy the extensive trails of the nearby Chequamegon National Forest.
**Water Adventures Await** Though this home doesn’t offer direct lake access, we’re just minutes from two public boat landings on Big Chetac Lake, and surrounded by lakes teeming with recreation and fishing opportunities. Explore local lakes by kayak, pontoon, or fishing boat (available for rent nearby), relax on sandbars, or even camp on an island. The area’s lakes are perfect for swimming, boating, skiing, paddling, and wildlife watching.
**Angler’s Paradise** With lakes like **Big Lake Chetac, Red Cedar, Birch, Spider, and Long Lake** nearby, anglers will find endless opportunities to reel in walleye, northern pike, bass, crappie, and panfish. Each lake offers its own charm, structure, and character—from secluded coves to open boating waters.
**Golf Getaways** Love to golf? You’re in for a treat. With seven golf courses within a short drive, including Tagalong, modeled after St. Andrews in Scotland, the area offers everything from relaxed 9-hole courses to challenging championship layouts.
**Winter Wonderland** When snow blankets the Northwoods, it’s time for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. Our location connects you to one of the largest snowmobile trail systems in the Midwest. Trails are meticulously groomed and maintained, and scenic routes abound. Nearby spots like Nordic Woods, Ice Age Trail, and the Birkebeiner Trail are perfect for winter sports enthusiasts.
**Relax and Recharge** After a day of adventure, unwind at home with a game of pool or ping pong in the rec room, or gather around the firepit for stories under the stars. Prefer a slower pace? Snuggle up with a good book on the front porch, enjoy a movie night, or simply take in the stillness and serenity of the Northwoods.
**Nearby Attractions** Explore charming towns like Birchwood, Hayward, Spooner, and Rice Lake, each offering unique shopping, dining, and local experiences. Don’t miss a visit to **historic Stout Island**, a place of wonder and timeless beauty that’s captivated visitors for generations.

John and Amy were very hands on from the day I reserved their beautiful house. Questions were answered swiftly. We rented for our snowmobile club trip with what ended up being 10 people. We had plenty of room. The place was clean, beds were very comfortable and had extra pillows available. The towels provided weren't your usual small hotel towels, they were nice , big and absorbent ones, which I appreciated. Highly recommended. The only drawback as a snowmobiler was the distance to anything, such as gas stations or restaurants. The trail is just down the road and easily accessible.

Wonderful Stay at Northwoods Get Away!
This is our second time staying at Northwoods Get Away. This is a really big house which fit our family reunion needs perfectly. It has five bedrooms, a large loft for sleeping, and four full bathrooms with showers. We had four families and everyone had a room or bed to sleep in. The house has three levels. On the main floor is the kitchen, dining room, living room, large walk-in pantry, and a full bathroom. The lower level has two bedrooms, a second kitchen, and a family room. Up on the second floor are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The huge master bedroom is on this floor, which has a King bed, two large closets, and its own private bathroom. Up one more level is a large loft with a lot of queen beds. The kids loved sleeping in this area. Our group of 15 made good use of the two refrigerators, two ovens, two dishwashers, abundance of cupboards and two sets of washer/dryers. There is a really large game room (converted garage) which the kids and the adults used a lot. It had a pool table, ping pong table, two game tables, lots of games, and even a bar. We also used the large outdoor deck a lot. It had patio furniture, two large picnic tables, and a grill. There were a lot of DVD’s, games, and toys available. Outdoors, there was a large fire pit surrounded by outdoor furniture. We used this area often for making pudgy pies and s’mores. Note: this house is not on the water, but we swam, kayaked, and went tubing close by. If you stay here, you won’t be disappointed!

Big house for big group
This was our third visit. We have gotten pretty good at dealing with the heating issues. Cold (41 degrees when we arrived) in the lower level and hot on the top 2 floors. This time we had a new challenge. We had to limit our water usage due to the septic system being frozen. I appreciated the extra effort the owner made to have the holding tank pumped rather than cancel our reservation, but it was stressful not knowing if each toilet flush might be the one that maxed out our 1000-gallon limit.

We always have a great time with family here. We were disappointed with the temp in the garage/game/room when we arrived. 30 Degrees and no heater. We had to purchase a heater in order to be out in game room , very cold. House is cozy & all beds very comfortable except for double bed in toy room. Lighting in kitchen could be a lot brighter. Overall a wonderful time was had by all. Thankyou

Privacy Getaway
Wonderful wooded privacy get a way for large families. Many private bedrooms, with large deck and fire pit for gatherings. Garage had ping pong and pool table to hang out to spread people out. With 4 bathrooms it was never a problem with our group of 12 adults. Having two large picnic tables on the deck was great for dinners along with a table inside that seated 8. Lots of parking for two large trailers we had for side by sides. Would rent again if in the area.
