Bluegill Cabin is the quintessential northern Wisconsin cabin; cozy, private, with lots of rustic charm. Situated on nearly 2 acres of land and over 100 feet of lake frontage, there is something for every outdoor enthusiast! The lake is 26 acres of spring-fed clear water; perfect for fishing, swimming, kayaking, floating, or watching the loons, turtles, and otters. This is a no-wake lake and motorized watercraft are prohibited, keeping our water and shoreline clean and pristine! (We provide PFDs, paddles, 4 kayaks, two paddle boards, a row-boat, and floating foam swim mat for your use.) For those looking for big water or water skiing, a boat launch into Fishtrap Lake is about a mile away, along with easy access to many other larger lakes and rivers in the area. Off the water, you will find access to the Chequamegon National Forest right across the street. Hikers and ATV users can access many miles of trail system within minutes of the cabin.
The main cabin was hand-built in the early 70’s, and is primitive but very functional and comfortable! The main cabin has two bedrooms, one and a half baths, dining area, and well-appointed full kitchen with all the gadgets you may need. The cabin is also well-stocked with board games, tv/dvd player (and movies) for rainy days. A full-size washer and dryer is also available for use during your stay.
High-speed Gig wi-fi included suitable for remote work and streaming your favorite content on the smart TV if you need it.
The garage on site can be used to store a boat or ATV during your visit.
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
