Sandy beach, quiet lake, great fishing & beautiful sunsets w/2 kayaks & gameroom
**Welcome to Your Northwoods Getaway on Quiet Crystal Lake**
Tucked into the heart of Wisconsin’s Chequamegon National Forest, your dream lake vacation awaits. Picture this: Mornings spent sipping coffee on a large deck overlooking glassy waters, sunny afternoons kayaking from your private beach, and evenings gathered around a crackling lakeside fire pit under the stars. At our Crystal Lake retreat, every moment invites relaxation, adventure, and lasting memories.
**Lakeside Living at Its Best** Step outside to your own private paradise—sandy lake frontage with a gently sloping yard, perfect for swimming, sandcastle building, or simply lounging in the sun. A private dock and your own private beach offers direct access to the clear, 117-acre lake, ideal for boating, fishing, or jumping in for a refreshing swim. You’ll have full access to a row boat, two kayaks, and a pedal boat to explore the lake at your leisure.
**Room for Everyone** The main house is warm, bright, and built for gathering. With three bedrooms, a cozy loft, and two bathrooms, there’s space for the whole family—or two! The open-concept living room features a wall of windows that frame sweeping lake views, and the fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals a joy. Whether you’re cooking dinner, playing games in the loft, or relaxing on the couch with a movie, you’ll feel right at home.
The main-level master suite includes two queen beds, a walk-in closet, and a private bath with direct access to the deck and lakeside views. A second main-level bedroom features a king bed and full bath nearby. Upstairs, the loft offers a kids’ dream hideaway with two twin beds and a fun play area, plus there’s a queen sofa bed in the living room for extra sleeping space.
**The Ultimate Bonus Space – Game Room & Guest Quarters** Just steps away is the detached garage, transformed into a two-level bonus space. The lower level is a fully stocked game room—complete with pool table, foosball, board games, and another Smart TV. It’s the perfect rainy-day retreat or evening hangout.
Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms: one with five twin beds and another with a queen bed, plus a full bathroom. This space is both heated and air-conditioned, making it perfect for year-round stays.
**Nature, Adventure & Tranquility – Right at Your Doorstep** Located on the quiet shores of Crystal Lake, you’ll be surrounded by over 850,000 acres of protected forest. Whether you’re seeking peaceful relaxation or outdoor adventure, you’re in the right place.
**Fishing Paradise:** Crystal Lake is home to panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and walleye. Launch your boat from the nearby public landing or tie up at our private dock. In winter, enjoy easy access to excellent ice fishing right out front.
**Trail Access from the Front Door:** Hop on your snowmobile or ATV/UTV and connect directly to the extensive Bayfield County trail system. Ride through dense forests, past lakes and streams, and across some of Wisconsin’s most beautiful and remote terrain. Rentals are available nearby if you don’t bring your own.
**Four Seasons of Fun:** In the fall, come for the vibrant colors and great hunting options nearby. In the winter, enjoy cross-country skiing on area trails—or try out a ski trail near by. Come spring and summer, hike or bike through miles of CAMBA trails or the scenic North Country Hiking Trail. No matter the season, the outdoors is calling.
**The Perfect Launchpad to Explore Northern Wisconsin** Beyond the lake, you’re perfectly positioned to explore all the charm and culture Bayfield County has to offer—from local eateries and craft shops to scenic drives, berry farms, and historic sites. Whether you're here for a weekend or a week, you’ll quickly see why guests come back again and again.
**Make Your Escape to Crystal Lake** Whether you're casting a line at sunrise, stargazing from the dock, or laughing with loved ones over s'mores, your time at our Crystal Lake retreat will be filled with comfort, beauty, and unforgettable moments. Come ready to relax, reconnect, and write your next favorite chapter in the Northwoods.

This was perfect for our family. We ranged in age of 6 to 70 with a group of 9. We stayed the end of August and had cooler weather with some rain. We did manage to get water time in as well as fishing. The recreation room was a big hit when the weather was at its worst. The kitchen is well stocked: spices, condiments, napkins, blender, crock-pot, pots and pans, ample plates, cups, glasses etc.. The bedding was wonderful. Soft sheets and appealing decor. The twin beds in the loft were extra firm so you may want to bring something to soften your sleep. Being that we were not far from home, we went home and picked up a couple of thermarests for our adult kids. I didn’t hear any complaints from the rest of the family regarding beds. We had the en-suite and the two queen beds were very comfortable. The beach is perfect. The sand is great for the kids to build sand castles and the water is clear off weeds and gradually gets deeper. Perfect! There were plenty of water and sand toys for the little ones. The fire pit is close to the water which lead to some great views.

We had a fantastic time during our stay at this cabin on Crystal Lake. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, the cabin was clean, the game room and whole cabin set up worked really well for our family. One of the highlights was how close the cabin is to the water with minimal stairs, as well as the sandy beach and clear water for our whole family to enjoy. Would stay here again and would recommend to others!

Cousin Paradise!
My daughters and their families gathered at this property which worked beautifully for us. The kids are ages 2-9 and enjoyed fishing, kayaking, sand construction, swimming, and the upstairs lofted kids’ hangout. The set-up with the separate spaces over the garage and two bedrooms within the main cabin provided ample space for families to spread out for sleeping. Attention has been given to details including decorating, cooking, playing, etc. We have already booked for next year!

So enjoyable
My family ranging in age from 5 to 78 all enjoyed the cabin greatly. There was enough space for us all. It's hard to pick a favorite part of the stay. The cabin was comfortable and clean. The game room was a hit for the kids. The beach was great for swimming. The pedal boat and kayaks were well used. One thing we appreciated was that everything was close together. My parents were able to watch their grandkids playing in the water from the cozy spots on the deck at the back of the house. We maybe prefer places that are a little bit more secluded. There was a dock of the next door house close by. But it wasn't that bad. And you can't really see the houses on either side. The lake isn't heavily used, at least it wasn't the weekend we were there. We've been going to lake cabins with the family the past 5 or 6 years. This is likely the best place that we stayed. We would love to come back. Thank you for hosting my family!

My sister and I have been renting properties for many years to spend time with our kids and grandkids. This year there were 14 of us. This property is fabulous! Our main criteria are number of bedrooms, bunkroom, and good beach for the little kids. Bonus with this rental is a game room. The beach area was perfect, even for the two-year-old. It’s a gradual slope to the beach area and the water stays pretty shallow for a long ways. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for cooking. There are four adult/teen life jackets so bring jackets for your little kids. We enjoyed the kayaks and peddle boat. The oars were broken for the row boat but my husband fished from the peddle boat. The lake was very quiet when we were there Sunday to Friday. Cable is about 20 minutes away. We went to the wildlife museum for a raptor talk. They had a red tailed hawk and a falcon. The kids were enthralled. There's a grocery store, some nice shops and we had a great pizza. We loved this property. It's been our favorite and I hope we can go back.

Wonderful Extended Family Trip
My sisters and parents have been doing an annual summer cabin trip for the last 5 years and we may have finally the one we want to repeat. The home is on a smaller lake with sandy beach and tons of amenities. We enjoyed the water most but also played with the pool table, foosball and nightly fires. The space had toys for kids and a game room. Plenty of beds for our 4 families and two separate buildings on the same property so the early risers wouldn’t wake up the others. The lake has guidelines asking visitors (and lake residents) to limit any skiing/tubing/etc to the hours between 10am and 6pm. Not ideal in the summer when the sun doesn’t go down until after 9pm but we made it work.

Relaxing vacation destination
Great family vacation - even with "not great weather" (cooler June than normal overcast/rain every day for the week except for one day). Our family gathering (6 adults 9 kids) truly appreciated the beauty of the Wisconsin northern woods, Crystal Lake, and sunset across the water. Very easy access to the dock/lake from the house and great setup for adults to enjoy the deck overlooking the water while not feeling too far away from kids in the water. Only recommendation that I would offer is to hide the glass wear used as decoration throughout the house when children are coming for the trip. I arrived first, so I walked through the house to 'hide' the many decorations to then put them back in their place before departing. We had kids between the ages of 8-14 years old and still felt a little uneasy of having some of the fragile pieces out while we were there in fear of damages.

Nice place, ghosted about discount
This home is spacious and met our group’s needs for a busy ski weekend except for missing one functional bathroom. The host informed us of a water line (out to a second building containing bedrooms and a bathroom, not connected to the main house) freezing 1 week before our stay for Birkie 2025 (arguably the busiest time of the year for the Cable area). We said we would make it work. It was inconvenient to walk between buildings to use the bathroom / shower and so we asked if the host would consider providing a discount for our stay. They briefly responded that they would “look into it” and then absolutely no more contact. Disappointing.

"We found our spot!"
For the past 6 years we have tested out various VRBO properties, trying to find the "perfect" spot for our family get togethers...and this past Labor Day weekend, we found it! Our requirements included:
1. Sandy beach with gradual depth so the grandkids could play...check!
2. Clear water so we could swim off the pontoon boat or dock...check!
3. Lake that's large enough to pull a raft behind the boat, but not over crowded with boaters...check!
4. A large, clean property...check! This house is absolutely perfect for our family. There are two large bedrooms on the main floor, a cute "playroom" loft above the kitchen. Then, there is the bonus space of the two bedrooms and one bathroom above the game room in the garage. This allowed my daughter with 4 young kids to stay in a separate building so she didn't have to keep them quiet when they woke up at 5:30 am.
5. Deck...check! The beautiful deck is huge, so we could all sit around comfortably. And the bonus is that it's low to the ground, so we didn't have to worry about the grandkids falling off.
We will definitely come back again!
