About this property

Beautiful Log Cabin Situated On Quiet Smith Lake 3 Miles North Of Hayward, Wi.

Lazy Loon was constructed in 2014. It comfortably sleeps 6. There is a bedroom with Queen size bed, loft with 2 twin beds, and a futon in living area that folds down into full size bed. Beautiful handmade quilts cover beds. Full kitchen consists of beautiful Amish made cabinets from hickory. There is a bathroom complete with shower. Cabin is 75 feet from lake with 100 feet of shoreline. Other homes/cabins surround Smith Lake so site is not secluded. Lake bottom is sandy and water is clear which is perfect for swimming. Pier located on property is perfect for fishing or securing your boat. Great fishing right off the pier for crappy, sunfish, perch, bass, and northern. There is a boat launch close by. Motors are permitted on Smith Lake which allows for great boating, skiing, and inner tubing. There is a fire pit located on the property as well as a small weber grill for your use. Firewood is also on the property for your use. Sunsets can be seen from the dock. Smith Lake is home to loons, eagles, and many other forms of wild life. We are located just 3 miles from Hayward where there is great shopping, dining, and night time entertainment. This is the perfect place for a quiet getaway up north.

Beautiful property with plenty to do at the cabin, and only 3 miles from activities in Hayward. We were pleasantly surprised to have wifi, and a third twin size bed in the loft area. The cabin was perfect for our family (2 adults and 3 kids ages 12-16). Clean, well stocked, beautiful view of the lake.

The Lazy Loon checked all the boxes for our Up North getaway and the cabin amenities were top notch! The beds were comfortable, the cleanliness exceeded my high standards and our family of 4 enjoyed everything from s’mores over the campfire, canoeing and paddle boating (provided), fishing off the dock, tubing, kneeboarding, and paddle boarding which I highly recommend giving a try as this lake is perfect for beginners (like ourselves). I’m so grateful for the memories that our boys will have from this trip! We are already looking forward to booking for next year!

Overall property was super clean. Very Cute. Well decorated. Nice quiet property on the lake. There were a couple houses not too far away, but only saw one or two other boats on a busy July weekend. The main reason i didn’t give it 5 stars was the AC situation. It didn’t work when we got there (small wall unit upstairs). The owner did communicate as well as she could to get it running (there is zero cell service at this location with AT&T). Finally got it running after a bunch of texts/ while trying to put the kids down. weird unit/ very loud. also there is no Ac (or even fan) in the master bedroom. got very hot even with door open and if you wanted privacy would have been even worse. Adding a small ac unit to bedroom on first floor would be a great addition. or at least a fan. overall property was as described. and super clean. had pleasant stay generally.

For the third time, Lisa and her Lazy Loon cabin delivered a peaceful and hassle free escape for us, occasional musky hunters. We hooked up and will be back.

Adorable Cozy Rustic Cabin in the Woods

Cabin was exactly as described, and even more charming! All areas were very clean, kitchen was properly stocked, and everything was in working order. Plenty of deer, loons and eagles to watch. The rain gave us plenty of opportunities to play family games and watch movies, all provided by the host. Would highly recommend.

Lazy Loon

We had a great mini-moon at the Lazy Loon! We brought our side by side and had a blast on the trails near by. We also spent a day golfing at Spider Lake Golf Resort and then at the black iron bar and grill - the steak bites are SO good. The cabin was clean, comfy, and had everything we needed! Walmart and grocery stores were close by for any last minute items. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating, we would for sure stay here again!

beautiful little cabin, quiet lake

The cabin was very clean and efficient for the use by 5 people. The lake was calm and quiet. Usually only one or two boats out at any given time. The water level at the dock was rather low, and the weeds go out quite a ways. It made fishing limited to (very)weedless options from the dock. We enjoyed the canoe and paddle boat and caught enough fish to fry for dinner.

Quaint Cabin

The cabin was very nice and clean with most everything needed for a great stay. Fishing was good even though the wind direction was not in our favor. The lake was quiet and had plenty of wildlife to enjoy seeing. Overall very good experience but would have liked a little sooner notice of items not supplied by the host! Would be good to get this at least a week or month ahead of the stay.

Relaxing

The place was cute with a beautiful view. We were surprised that there were no bath towels. It was my mistake for not reading that but never rented a place before that didn't have them so we had to run to the store to purchase them. Overall we really enjoyed it.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Wanless

Host profile image
My husband and I have always dreamed of owning a cabin in northern Wisconsin. We started the journey to our dream in 2012. After viewing several properties over several months, we picked the property on Smith Lake and fell in love! We located a log home builder close to our home and began the building process. We love our cabin on Smith Lake. We have fallen in love with the Loons on the property thus the name Lazy Loon Cabin.

Why they chose this property

Smith Lake offered everything we wanted in a lake. It's quiet but large enough to boat and participate in all kinds of water sports. It has a family feel and great neighbors.
