Northwoods lake home with gentle slope to clear lake with sandy beach

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 clean and cozy with all the amenities of home. It has 3 levels- Upstairs has a queen bed, single bed, and half-bath. The main floor has a queen bed and full bed along with a full bathroom. Downstairs has two twin beds, a sofa and a third full bathroom. There are additional inflatable sleep mattresses. 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 air conditioning. 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). There is a Keurig, coffee pot, blender, & crockpots for use.

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, 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 lots of activities to enjoy! It's the perfect distance from Hayward, WI -- just 30ish 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.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Perfect getaway!

This was the absolute perfect place for us to bring our 7-person family group together. The property was absolutely beautiful and pristine. The location is perfect, and while we left occasionally to visit nearby family, there were more than enough activities available at the cabin to keep everybody happy and occupied. The communication from the property owner was amazing! Aside from the information listed on the VRBO listing, there was detailed information inside the home so nothing was a mystery. Mike also checked in on us to make sure that there was nothing else we needed, making our stay absolutely perfect. Great fishing, too! An added bonus for our family was that the neighbors have dogs and we got to interact with them outside. We can’t wait to come back!

Relaxation and Family Fun

We enjoyed many campfires by the lake. Wonderful seating areas by the fire pit and beach . It was so nice to have a good selection of family board games and yard games. Such a peaceful location! The kids loved using the kayaks that were supplied! Beautiful clear water and sandy beach area were great for swimming and jumping off dock. Would definitely come back for another relaxing get away! This cabin fit our two families comfortably and had everything we needed!

Excellent property with great owners

Mike and Jenny have an amazing property in a great, quiet location. Mike answered my million questions before our trip with no hesitation and communication before and during our stay was answered quickly. We spent 3 nights at their cabin with our 3 pre-teen and teen boys and found the cabin to be a great size for us all to space out when needed. The paddle boat and kayaks were a huge hit with our kids, as was the fire pit located right next to the lake. For the most part, the cabin came with everything we thought we would need. A few things I would suggest, but didn't make our stay any less enjoyable, would be tongs and a can opener for the kitchen. We searched for both and couldn't find either. We made do with what we could find though and it all worked out great! Mike and Jenny have amazing neighbors on both sides, both whom have dogs that were very nice! The Welhavens(they are the neighbors to the right if you are looking at the lake from the cabin) have three dogs (Tucker, Remy and Sassy) and Tucker would come visit us whenever we were outside. Our 12 year old, who is an animal lover, absolutely enjoyed him! Reid Welhaven came over and introduced himself and and let us know about the dogs shortly after we arrived, and gave us some great ideas of things to do in the area and places to check out, which came in handy! We are already considering booking Mike and Jennys cabin for next summer!

Perfect Northwoods Getaway

Four of us spent a long weekend here for my moms 69th birthday. It was a perfect spot to relax, do a little fishing, and it was a great starting point for adventures to Pattison State Park, Amnicon Falls State Park, and Superior. The owners responded quickly when I had a question before our arrival and the neighbors were friendly and gave great suggestions for things to do or places to eat when we ventured out. We are dog lovers and enjoyed the visits from the neighbors dogs but the neighbors did emphasize that if we were bothered by the dogs to let them know so they could keep them from visiting. As all of my group has dogs it made the experience more homey and enjoyable for us.
