About this property

Pet-Friendly Lakeside Cabin with Kayaks and Canoe!

Welcome to Cattail Cabin, your cozy retreat nestled on the shores of Lower Holly Lake, in Stone Lake, Wisconsin. This open-concept cabin, built in 2018, boasts a perfect blend of modern comfort and rustic charm.

First, some quick notes:

Parking -- We kindly ask for a 4 vehicle limit. The driveway is the only place to park and it is not very big :-).

Dock Install/removal -- We usually take the dock out of the water late October (we wait as long as we can) and we usually put it back in around mid/late April (we try to get it in as soon as we can). If you are looking at dates during either of these times of the year, don't hesitate to reach out to confirm status before booking.

If you are thinking of bringing your own boat, ATV's, snowmobiles, etc, get a hold of me so we can talk logistics. The road coming into the cabin is tight, and so is the driveway.

Cabin Highlights:

• Spacious Living: With 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a finished walk-out basement, this 2,000 sq ft haven comfortably sleeps 8 guests. The cozy ambiance, complemented by central air and heating, ensures a delightful stay year-round. Note: The 3rd bedroom is an open loft. Great for kids. Check out the photo gallery!
• Scenic Views: Take in the fantastic view of 48-acre Lower Holly Lake from the large deck or unwind in the screened-in porch. The beauty of the lake is right at your doorstep.
• Entertainment Galore: The fully finished walk-out basement is a game-lover's paradise, featuring a ping pong table. For those seeking relaxation, the gas fireplace on the main floor provides warmth and charm during the winter months.
• Full Kitchen: The complete kitchen, with a spacious center island, is a chef's dream. The dining table, seating 8, is perfect for shared meals and memorable conversations.

Perfect Location:

Cattail Cabin is ideally situated just a 10-minute drive from the charming town of Stone Lake. Explore pubs, antique stores, a micro-brew/coffee house, and a wine bar, all contributing to the town's unique charm.

For those craving more excitement, the bustling town of Hayward is a short 15-minute drive away, known for its food, shopping, year-round events, festivals, and tourist attractions.

Outdoor Adventures:

The cabin sits on a snowmobile and ATV trail, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Cattail Cabin, with its own dock, is perfect for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. This hidden gem offers a quiet escape with amazing fishing opportunities, including Northern Pike and pan fish.

This was a terrific place to stay for our anniversary getaway. For a little cabin on the lake it had everything! We loved the screened in porch for morning coffee. The kitchen had everything to make a nice breakfast. The bed was comfortable. The entire cabin was very clean. We look forward to coming again!

Great cabin. We loved kayaking on the lake and enjoyed eating out on the deck and listening to the loons. My son enjoyed the video games in the basement.

Best cabin stay

We loved the cabin! It was clean well appointed and everything was good quality! (Sofa, grill, laundry, even the hair dryer.) Lake is big enough to get a good workout kayaking and small enough to not be overpopulated. Most of the time we had it all to ourselves! Ping pong was a hit and the guys loved the golden tee golf game. Secluded yet close to town. The perfect cabin getaway!

Gorgeous cabin on lake.

Meticulously kept cabin. So clean and stocked with essentials for a week long getaway with family. From games and watercraft to awesome grill and beautiful firepit. We loved listening to the loons on the lake and paddling around. We caught fish and the kids swam and played in the sand. Wonderful.

Great quiet getaway

We had an amazing time during our stay at Cattail Cabin. The owners were super accomodating when we needed to work around our kids sports schedule. We came for 4 nights for an end of summer get away. The cabin has everything you need. The lake is a nice and quiet lake, so our kids could kayak and paddle boat safely and easily by themselves. We were just a short drive to Hayward where there was lots of great places to visit. Highly reccomend for anyone with a family to stay here! A really amazing up-north cabin to recharge and relax!

Great cabin escape!

The cabin was everything you see on the listing! Quiet lake, beautiful cabin and a short drive to town. Property owner great to work with - easy communication. No need to go to Hayward - Stone Lake has 3-4 bars/restaurants with great food/drink options. Had a little rain but kept entertained with ping pong, darts and games/puzzles. Would definitely recommend this rental!

Great Get Away!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Cattail Cabin! The cabin is perfect for sunny days of swimming (nice sandy shoreline) and kayaking, fishing off the dock, and only a short drive in to Hayward for ice cream and activities. Even the few rainy days we had were met with ping pong challenges, puzzles, games and movies. It’s a quiet lake, so don’t miss an opportunity to sip coffee or a cocktail on the deck and relax! We felt right at home and Brad was great at checking in- we made some amazing memories!

Cattail Lane

One year old very nice property on small lake. Near small town of Stone Lake and 15 minutes from Hayward which makes it easy to find stores, etc. Remote setting but on road with several lake homes so you don't feel isolated. Well supplied and nicely furnished home. Nice that they will accept dogs!

Yearly family getaway.

The cabin is beautiful and the property very nice. Because of the hot dry weather the lake was not in the best condition. Too shallow to get our boat into it. We did fish many lakes in the area. We encountered a few things we would change in the cabin. He should treat the cabin like his own kitchen. There should be napkins, paper plates, zip-lock bags, plastic wrap, a little sugar and flour etc. We did enjoy many pingpong tournaments. all in all we had a good week.

Beautiful cabin inside and out. Absolutely exquisite! Host very congenial and responsive. Loved watching sunsets and listening to nature on the dock bench. Fish feeding and jumping, muskrats swimming. Loved the game rooms downstairs on rainy days. Beautiful fall leaves, too. Definitely worth a return trip.
Shimmering lake sunset. Diamonds on the water.

I can't say enough great things about our stay at this cabin. It went above and beyond our expectations. The cabin has everything you need. The deck and screened in porch were perfect for morning coffee and just enjoying the peace and quiet. The blackstone was perfect for cooking our meals. The cabin was cozy and very comfortable although we spent most of our time outdoors. The lake was beautiful and very quiet. We did lots of kayaking and fishing. Lake access was very easy and the kayaks were in great condition. We caught some of the biggest fish we have ever caught! We visited at the perfect time as the leaves had begun changing and the views were beautiful. Brad was the perfect host and we appreciated his quick responses to our questions and the wonderful communication throughout the whole process. We are looking forward to returning to this property in the future!

Cattail Cabin

My husband, two sons (16 and 18) our dog and I spent two nights at this gem. Our sons arrived about a half a hour before we did as we picked up groceries in Hayward (about 20 minutes away). They had already started playing ping pong before we arrived. Once we arrived, the canoe and kayaks were put in the water and were used the rest of our trip. We caught bass, bluegills and northerns and enjoyed the fall colors that surrounded the grounds. The setting is quite private, located at the end of a dead end road. We walked our dog several times and only encountered friendly neighbors. We prepared all of our meals there, and the kitchen had what we needed. The kids slept in the loft and enjoyed it. We slept in the master bedroom (king bed) and were very comfortable. The walkout basement was great for ping pong. We spent a LOT of time playing. If you rent here, be sure to get out on the water! The side of the lake that the cabin is on is so beautiful this time of year (early October) with the maples and oaks. I couldn’t stop taking pictures from the canoe when I should have been casting. Communication was fantastic with the owner. He provided all of the answers before we could even think of questions! Also, I had read a couple of comments in past reviews about wi-fi. We had no issues with the wi-fi, and our cell coverage was strong. So if you’re looking for a cozy, clean cabin on a lake that’s easy to navigate, don’t hesitate to book here!

About the host

Hosted by Brad O'Connell

Host profile image
My wife Sarah and I are from Eau Claire (about an hour and a half south of our cabin) which is where we live too. We have 2 teenage kids at home, so like a lot of families, we are busy keeping up with sports, school activities, and everything in between. We identify with everyone out there who feels the need to get away every once in a while.

Why they chose this property

We love the northwoods! We chose to buy this home because we stayed at a handful of cabin rentals nearby in years past and fell in love with this area. It didn’t take long before we dreamed of owning our own cabin someday.

What makes this property unique

The first time we saw this cabin in-person, it was still under construction, however we knew right away that it was something special. When you're inside the cabin, you still feel connected to the outdoors. Even though the building is brand-new, the cabin interior has that classic rustic feel. It's cozy yet at the same time, provides all the space you and your family need to spread out and enjoy yourselves. We absolutely love this cabin and our hope is that you will love it too.
