Clean & Spacious On 3,000 Acre Crystal Clear Grindstone Lake

Clean & Spacious On 3,000 Acre Crystal Clear Grindstone Lake
Be our guests at the lake in this amazing 4 bedroom lake front cabin. The lot is flat and has an outdoor fire pit, your own private pier and wrap around deck. This home has all of the comforts your family needs for a perfect vacation.

This home is newer and tastefully furnished and features a large open great room with tall vaulted ceilings. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the cooking utensils and tableware you will need to feed your hungry family. The master suite has an attached bathroom and there are additional bathrooms on each floor for your guests. The front porch features a custom built bar made of iron twigs and is a great place to relax and wind down after a day on the lake.

Room Layouts:
Owl's Perch is the loft, new king bed and all new furniture with private bath. (owl print on wall)

Loon's lair is a main floor bedroom with two sets of XL bunk beds, sleeping for 4. (loon print on wall)

Wolf's Den is the other main floor bedroom, queen bed.

"Duck Blind" bedroom is in located in the walkout lower level ..just like a real duck blind it is a menagerie of sticks and cattails with a queen and a full bed.


Total sleeping capacity in beds 12.

This lake side lodge is located around 5 miles from the Casino and 8 miles from downtown Hayward. The Hayward area offers restaurants, shopping, go karts , wineries, museums, mini golf, and more. If you come in the summer be sure to take in the lumberjack show. There are also over 5 golf courses nearby.

Are power sports your thing? The snowmobile trail is located on the lake in front of the home and you can also access the ATV Trails directly from this home. The ATV trails connect to County Road E (Which is open to ATVs) and from there you can hit 100's of miles of off road trails.

Grindstone is known for its fishing and boating. The water is clear and the bottom in front of our home is sandy and gradually gets deeper so it's great for swimming. You're welcome to bring your own boat or we can direct you to some local rental companies. You can tie up to our private pier during your stay. There is plenty of onsite parking space for your vehicles and trailers. We also offer a canoe for our guests to use while at the cabin.


A Note About Dogs:
We LOVE dogs and we want our guests to enjoy their vacation with the whole family, including the furry members :-) Up to two dogs are allowed at this cabin with prior approval- an additional fee applies. That being said, please be mindful of whether our home is appropriate for your dog(s).

We may not be the vacation rental for you if your dog(s):
*Consider barking to be a favorite pastime;
*Chew things other than bones;
*Like to visit the neighbors unsupervised (we do not have a fenced-in yard), and/or;
*Use the house as a bathroom.

We ask that your dogs be supervised when at the cabin and crated when you are not (One large crate is available at the cabin). Also, it should not need to be said (but unfortunately needs to be, as we have had guests leave enough surprises for us), but PLEASE pick up after your dogs!! It is NOT the responsibility of our cleaners. Sorry, no cats, please.

This cabin is professionally managed by Manage Cabins, LLC of Hayward, WI

Awesome cabin with lots of room and great character!

Our party of 11 had an excellent Christmas vacation in this cabin. Lots of space...5 bedrooms, wood-burning fireplace in the great room...which is just off the open dining room and kitchen, and a short walk down to the lake.

Overall we had a great weekend in Hayward Wisconsin.

Our experience was generally good. The cabin was kind of tired and needed some repairs after a long summer. The decorating was very fun and woodsy and the beds were comfortable with nice bedding.

Beautiful Lake

Grindstone Lake is beautiful. We would highly recommend visiting if you like clear water with a nice sandy bottom. As far as the cabin goes, it would have been nice had we not had to deal with ants the day we checked in and a broken dishwasher. The property management company was quick to respond and try to address these issues. Aside from that the cabin worked well for our family. The one wish we had was a boat lift since it’s quite a drive to the closest boat ramp.

Great week at the lake

We stayed June 20-27th with 2 families; 10 people total. The cabin is very nice and roomy. The shoreline is about 2 feet of water for about 100 yards to the drop off. I had my 19ft speed boat. Getting in an out was slow but it worked with the motor trimmed up. The water also has swimmer itch so that is the only drawback to the shoreline; one of our kids got it pretty bad. We swam in the middle of the lake with no issues. Great overall boating and fishing lake, and the cabin is comfortable.

Decent getaway

The cabin was pretty decent. Few minor things such as one ceiling fan not working, some bedroom windows lacking blinds. Personally we didn't care for the steps getting into the house. Way too many. Would have liked more grass areas to sit and enjoy outside. But really didn't sit outside much due to crabby neighbors. Liked the fact that they had a garbage dumpster on site. The fishing was great. 4 wheeler trails were close and were nice trails. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

July Family Get-away

This is our 18th annual family cabin week stay at various places, so we have much to compare this property with. There are always pros and cons in each one. Sunset Cove has lots of woodsy, beautifully decorated indoor space, a great view of the lake, sandy beaches, a well-stocked kitchen, a great dog run and comfortable beds. The outdoor spaces definitely need attention and love, with the landscape mostly comprised of unattractive, overgrown weeds. The path to the dock, while not steep, needs stairs or paved access as it is slippery and dangerous for the senior set. We loved meeting our neighbor, Eileen, who filled us in on the history of the place. She was a great neighbor, helpful and kind.

Family Vacation

We enjoyed the home. The family room was great. Bathrooms and bedrooms were good. Air conditioning in home was great. The fire pit area was nice. We did not like the last 12ft of the path to the pier (steep and slippery). We did not like all the dogs living next door constantly barking no matter what time of day we walked outside (not really an up north feel). Have never had to bring bath towels to a home I have rented, was inconvenient. Cookware in kitchen is worn out and needs to be replaced. Ceiling fan remotes do not work well and need to be replaced. Garage door needs to be fixed.

Buyer Beware

Everything was great except there needs to be blinds/curtains on the windows If your staying here bring something to cover the bedroom/ front windows for privacy!!! No blinds or curtains in 2 of the bedrooms !! When the sun comes up no way to keep out light either !!! No blinds or curtains in front windows !! Owner lives next door which made it weird and uncomfortable with no window coverings. Felt like we where/could be watched especially at night when we gathered as a family in the family room We had no interaction with the owner but was just weird n creepy Put up window coverings!!!

Beautiful, spacious lake getaway

This property has a beautiful view of a nice sized lake. The lake home is beautifully furnished and was spacious enough for our large group of 10-12 people. The beach is very sandy and goes out about 100 yards before it gets any deeper than an adult's waist. Unfortunately, while near shore we experienced swimmer's itch, but we took a local's tip and went out further from shore and didn't have many more issues with it. There's an awesome sandbar directly across the lake where we anchored our pontoon and just swam over there instead. The neighbors are close, but friendly. There is not air conditioning in the home, yet. It was advertised that way and I know it's their intent to get it soon but I don't believe it was intentionally misleading. Jon was great at answering all questions before and during our stay in a very timely manner. I really enjoyed working with him.

Our Multi-generational family vacation

The online pictures accurately described the property. The lake was clear and shallow by the dock with a sand bottom. Nice for swimming. Be careful when boating as there are many shallow, rocky spots on the lake. It felt more like a resort setting due to the proximity of the neighbors. Overall, it was roomy and comfortable and provided an ample amount of space for our group of eight adults.
