About this property

Hayward - Clear Water 5,100 Acre Lac Courte Oreilles Lake. Recently Remodeled.

JUST RELISTED ON VRBO AS OF FEB 23.

Thank you for your interest in 'Loon View Lodge'!
**NEWLY REMODELED MAIN LEVEL JAN 2019! New cherry kitchen cabinets, granite, hardwood floor and carpet, remodeled bathroom and more! LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION, PLUS CONVENIENT! "Loon View Lodge LLC" is a beautiful, non-smoking, fully-finished chalet located on a quiet private dead-end drive, 1/8 mile off the popular Northwoods Beach strip. Grab your coffee in the morning, and take the kids for a nature walk down the heavily wooded private road while you talk about your plans for the day on the lake. You'll feel like your in the middle of the woods, yet everything you need is close by: Gas is now also available on the lake just a few minutes down the shore. Gas, groceries, fish licenses, boat/pontoon rental, and boat supplies/repair are 1/2 mile away. (Plus more dealers and rental shops 10 miles away with Jet Ski/pontoon/boat/water trampoline/snowmobile rental and repair). Enjoy plenty of restaurants, resorts, amenities less than a mile or two away by boat/walk/bike/car. LCO Casino and Hotel is 5 miles away and has national acts/entertainment. Like live music? The all new beautiful Trails End Resort is only a couple minutes down the shore, and offers live music, food, drinks, gas on the lake, and a sandy beach with playground. Or take a ten minute drive to downtown Hayward for shopping, museums, mini golf, go carts, wineries and more. Enjoy 4 premier Golf Courses -most less than 10 minutes away, tons of restaurants and resorts nearby, and miles of ATV & Snowmobile trails surrounding. Snowmobile trail #3 is on the lake in front of the home, you will have access to Sawyer County's 600 miles of groomed trails. Arguably the best lake in Hayward for pan fishing, musky fishing, water skiing, jet skiing, pontooning, sailing, music, and more. This lake is big, but is very quiet.

EXTERIOR OF HOME: Enjoy the sunset while sitting around the huge fire pit overlooking the lake (plenty of lawn chairs provided and a limited amount of complimentary firewood is included). Take the winding steps down medium elevation to the lake and the private 'L' dock with 100' of private frontage. Seasonal neighbors on both sides are friendly and have large oversize lots with plenty of mature trees, so there is plenty of privacy. The driveway is fully paved and is large enough for 4 trucks and trailers, or about 8 cars. The whole family will enjoy the level paved Basketball court, while they watch the children play in the sandbox. The landscaping is well maintained with an automatic sprinkler system. A complimentary lift for your pontoon, boat, or PWC is available at no extra charge; inquire with owner. Lac Courte Oreilles is a large lake and can have 3 foot waves during storms; so this is an important amenity since it makes the difference between having to take your boat out, or having major damage to your boat or dock. NEW We now have an automatic back-up generator! Although rare, being in the northwoods with lots of trees it seems like there is at least one storm a year that will blow a tree on a power line, or a winter ice storm that breaks a power line. In the event there is a power outage you may not even know it since the generator will automatically restore power so you will have water, refrigerator, lights, microwave, furnace, TV, etc. Keep in mind all these comforts won't work if the power goes out... We know how important your vacation is and have taken the extra step/investment to make sure you are comfortable and worry free no matter what the weather!

INTERIOR OF HOME: The Interior is immaculate and tastefully decorated with a northwoods cabin feel. Knotty pine ceilings and walls throughout, and hardwood floors in great room, dining, and kitchen. The home has central air conditioning, and two gas fireplaces with log mantles, one on main floor and one in basement. There are 7 flat panel TV's 26"-55" with cable throughout the home in living rooms and bedrooms, along with a movie library and DVD players All TV's are smart TV's. There is a central multi-room stereo system that can play your ipod music. Free WI-FI Charter high speed internet. The kitchen is fully stocked with all utensils and cookware (2 coffee makers plus a Keurig, crock pot, pizza oven, griddle, waffle maker, mixer, popcorn popper, toaster, blender, etc). We have a beautiful custom made large dining table with seating for 8, plus seating for 5 at the island, and a child's high chair too. The well water is clear and tastes great. For outdoor cooking we have a large high quality stainless gas grill plus a Weber charcoal grill. All bed, bath, and kitchen linens are included -you will need to bring your own beach towels. Attached oversize weatherproof 3 season porch with lake view. The deck has 2 dining tables and chairs. Ceramic tile in all three full bathrooms (one on each level). Adults can enjoy peace and quiet on the main level, while kids can enjoy the fully finished walkout basement with air hockey, foosball, movies and 2 cool log bunk bed sets.

BEDROOM/BATHROOM LAYOUT: Sleeps 10-15. Master Suite in loft overlooking lake has king log bed, Main Level bedroom 1 has queen log bed, Main Level bedroom 2 has queen pine bed, Kids bedroom in walkout basement has 2 log bunk sets totaling one full and 3 twins beds. For additional guests we have a full sofa sleeper and a rollaway bed available in oversize basement rec room. We have a pack and play for your toddler too. All mattresses are high quality and comfortable (even the bunk beds). There are three full bathrooms, one on each level, the main level bath tub also has safety bars for older guests.

THE LAKE: Lac Courte Oreilles is over 8 miles long and at over 5000 acres is the largest natural lake in the county and is well known for excellent fishing, sailing, exploring and water sports. Lac Courte Oreilles is also connected to Grindstone Lake which is over 3000 acres, and makes for a great day trip with light shallow hull boat or pontoon. The bottom gently tapers from nothing at shore, to 3 feet deep at the swimming area at the end of the new 30 foot 'L' shaped dock with large sitting area. From there it continues to gently taper out to about ten feet deep, and stays level for approximately 40 yards. This water is absolutely crystal clear ALL year long -drop a dime off the end of the dock and you can still see it!

You will be hard pressed to find a finer vacation home in the area, and the location is perfect for all types of entertainment on water and off. This place has it all, too much to mention. Our reviews speak for themselves!

Beautiful cabin and great weekend

We had a girls (moms) getaway weekend at this property and loved every minute of it. The cabin was beautiful and had absolutely everything we needed. The grounds were fantastic and we enjoyed the lake view (Nov. stay). Easy trip into town and really very comfortable. I can't think of any improvements. Everyone raved about their comfy beds. Overall, a great stay and will definitely go back!

Total Relaxation

This cabin has it all. Plenty to keep busy; with kayaks, boat lift, outdoor games. It's clear that Tom takes pride in his cabin and his attention to detail is much appreciated by his guests. Sitting on the deck with a glass of wine or ice cold beer watching the Eagles pass overhead is incredible. One of the most peaceful and relaxing places I have ever stayed.

Excellent property!

We've stayed at other homes in Hayward before and this is our favorite. The home was like a new home and very clean and well maintained. We loved the beautiful lake view, the privacy and plenty of parking. The kitchen was all new and fully stocked, and the beds were all comfortable. We didn't want to leave! The owner was a pleasure to work with; very friendly and was easy to get a hold of if we had a question. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Excellent Vacation Home

We had a super week at this lovely home that has a fantastic view, is quiet and where the owner has anticipated and met every need you might have to make for the perfect vacation. The kids spent most of the week in the water using the kayaks, swimming and fishing off the dock. The house is exceptionally well cared for and the kitchen was well stocked with any pans, utensils and tools you might need. The location is close to stores and restaurants. While the photos and description are great, they simply fail to adequately capture what a wonderful place this truly is.

Perfect get-a-way for large family gathering

My family's annual, fall get-a-way, was spent at the beautiful chalet on Lac Courte Oreilles. The house was large enough for my kids and grandkids (13 total), and the yard was spacious enough for outdoor games and bonfires! There was plenty of kitchen utensils, pots and pans, bowls, etc., for my large family, and plenty of space for eating. I would highly recommend this chalet for medium to large families! Thanks Tom!

Exceeded expectations

Our group of 7 loved everything about this beautiful cabin. Tom, the owner, was wonderful and his attention to detail and great care of his cabin made a significant difference. The view was spectacular, the cabin was very well appointed, and the property location was perfectly placed on the lake. We had privacy, nature at our door, and enjoyed boating, tubing, fishing, cooking, games and puzzles. We all felt very relaxed at the end of our week. Thank you Tom for offering such a great place for a wonderful vacation!

Perfect for large family

The house was warm and wonderful for our family. Just what we needed considering we had to be in Hayward for a funeral. Tom was very accommodating and extremely helpful considering it was such short notice. We will definitely recommend this place to anyone we can. Thank you again for helping us out and giving us the opportunity to all be together in our time of sorrow it was very comforting for my mother in law to have us all together while she grieved the loss of her brother.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Kamrath

Host profile image
I've lived within an hour of Hayward all my life and decided to move to Hayward in 2009.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this brand new chalet in June of '09. The Hayward area is beautiful and has endless recreational opportunities. I enjoy meeting people from WI, MN, IL, IA, etc; and they are all so interesting, easy to talk to, and in a friendly vacation mood. Lac Courte Oreilles is the largest natural lake in the county; at over 5000 acres there is so much lake shore, I don't think you could see it all by pontoon in one day! Plus, it's connected to Grindstone lake at over 3000 acres. Both lakes are primarily sand bottom, and crystal clear year round. Neither of these lakes have a lot of boat traffic, so it is perfect for sailing, water skiing, relaxing etc.

What makes this property unique

My favorite thing to do is spend time on the water; whether it be waterskiing, jet skiing, or meeting people at the public sandbar. For lunch I like to take friends over to Anglers Haven Resort for home made pizza and great ice cream drinks. In the evening it's nice to head to one of the local restaurants and meet new people from all over. After that, it's back to the chalet for a bonfire as the sun sets; then later take the pontoon for a moon lit ride a mile down the shoreline for live music and drinks at Trails End Resort.
