___________________________________________________________________________
Getaway from it all and enjoy the vacation you and your family have been thinking about throughout the long cold mid-western winter in this all private, newly renovated beautiful log cabin that has two bedrooms on the main floor and a second story addition which includes a master suite that would envy that of almost any luxury hotel. The two bedrooms downstairs could sleep 5 comfortably as one has a double bed and the other has bunk beds consisting of a double on the bottom and a twin on top and a full bath that separates the two rooms, it also includes stackable washer & dryer. We added a bed upstairs to help accommodate more guests both beds have a door between them and are private.

The master suite has a king-size bed, standing closet, 3/4 bath including a sunken spa tub with jet ports, sink & toilet. Enjoy an unbeatable view from the master suite through an entire wall of glass that overlooks Leader Lake. If you get a little chilly at night click the fieldstone fireplace remote to get as comfy as you want or to simply enjoy the ambiance of this beautiful room with your partner. Feel the deep padded carpet beneath your feet when you take in the surroundings of this beautiful lake property from the master suite. There is also a loft upstairs separated from the master by sliding glass doors this room now has a bed in it as well as room for an air mattress to sleep more people if needed.

The main family living room has a large fieldstone gas fireplace, ceiling fan, couch, card table, and chairs to rest, talk amongst yourselves, or watch your favorite movies on the 55 inch Samsung smart tv.

If your party needs more room for sleeping bags this living area would be a great place for up to as many as 3-4 sleeping bags.

The kitchen has also remodeled to include a chef's gas stove/oven, refrigerator with water/ice, large dining table, buddy bar type serving table, a lot of natural light, and beautiful resurfaced and polyurethaned log walls and woodwork. No need to bring any of your kitchen from home as this kitchen has everything you will need when you make some of your favorite dishes from home or when you prepare your freshly caught walleye, northern, small & largemouth bass, bluegills or sunfish.

Throughout the day & evening, everyone can sit and enjoy the sites & sounds of nature from the enormous screened in front porch which measures approximately 7' x 30'. The porch also has a refrigerator & gas grill. Enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the lake's loons singing their song or at night on the porch you can sit by the light of the moon & the stars or turn on the porch lights. Just outside the porch is a charcoal grill for your use. You can also start a fire on the beach at night just a few feet from the large dock and surround it with your favorite campfire chairs for everyone's favorites... smores.

If you're not out on the five-person pontoon, on the water in the paddle boat, canoe or fishing from the aluminum dock then why not take a nice relaxing sauna from the log cabin sauna, located just steps beyond the main cabin. The outside was left original aside from a few new nails or screws but wanted to leave the exterior with its original charm that can not be duplicated. The inside is a different story. There is a separate shower room just before entering the sauna, with new cedar-lined walls and ceiling, benches, and stove. After the sauna run if you dare to the lake for an immediate cool down in the warm water of Leader Lake.

Enjoy the 290' of sandy beach frontage, explore the property while there and pick your own blueberries (if in season), fish, swim, take a leisurely hike over the 15 acres and if you brought your ATV's or utv's ride the sandy trails that are all around the area and most of all... Enjoy yourselves and each other in the deep woods of northern Wisconsin and make the most of your hard-earned, well-deserved vacation.

Everything you want in a vacation
This place was everything we wanted for our 2023 summer vacation - a nice sized lake home able to accommodate plenty of family on a terrific lake. You had to love the unique and amazing second floor featuring a combined master bedroom and bath with fantastic views of the lake. Property owner Thomas was the best communicator I've encountered in my over 10 years of renting on VRBO. The lake itself was crystal clear, it really does have a clean sandy beach, peaceful, and offered steady fishing to the dedicated fisherman. If you want to have a change of pace there are plenty of things to do in and around the area (Gordon Dam Park, Solon Springs, the Pogo Harbor Inn Bar on county T) but we were just happy to stare at the lake from the full span front porch and wile away the hours until the sun fully set. This place is in a highly wooded area on a lake, and like all properties in these settings, you should come equipped with a good supply of mosquito spray and be prepared to swat a few insect friends that manage to make their way indoors with you.

Some items were in disrepair
The place was great except for a few things. The owner had stated he would have a new modem, NOT, no internet or TV, and even no RCA cables that would connect to the DVD player, not that big of a problem for us but your word should be good. He also stated that the boat heat alarm would sound if you idled too long, it sounded if you idled at all. Made the boat unusable for trolling. General condition of boat was poor. The house was very nice and our dog enjoyed being off leash for the entire week. The lake was nice, very clear and fishing was fun mostly off the dock.

Nice location, but mouse problem needs addressing
This rental looked really nice from the pictures, and it is in a beautiful location. Our biggest problem is that there is a severe rodent problem. We brought groceries and had them on the counter overnight when we first got to the cabin, and the next morning they had been eaten by mice, eaten through sealed bags.... We also had a plate with crumbs left on it in the kitchen overnight, and the next morning it had mouse droppings on it. We threw away the ruined food and sealed the remainder in our suitcases, and didn't leave anything out (after reporting it to the owner, who said in the woods that you couldn't keep them out). Well the rest of the week every morning there were new mouse droppings on the kitchen counters, on the bathroom floor, and on the shelves next to one of the beds. When changing the garbage bag we even found a dead one in the bottom of one of the garbage cans, and even found mouse droppings upstairs (at first we thought they were only on the main floor). I'm sure the mouse problem can hopefully be fixed. I am not a stranger to rural or forested areas, and have gone to many rural Wisconsin rentals and have never had a problem like this (particularly to this degree). Something else just to be aware of is that there are no drapes on any of the windows except in one bedroom on the first floor, even in the bathrooms which don't have privacy windows. The weird upstairs "bathroom" toilet is literally right in front of the window at toilet level. There was at least a curtain rod on the bathroom with the shower, so I was able to put a towel on it to cover the window. It is a really pretty view, especially from upstairs, but there are definitely times you want to be able to have some privacy, like when changing or going to the bathroom at least.

About the host

Host profile image
This is our family cabin, it is too nice to sell, so we rent it. we just started in 2016 and look forward to returning and new guests.

Why they chose this property

This is one of the oldest cabins on the lake surrounded by large 100+year old pines on 15 acres and 290 feet of lake frontage remodeled by me about 12 years ago spent 200.000

One of the nicest units on our side of the lake you won't be disappointed.

4/2020 Cleaned up all brush, pine needles, old dead trees, stacked along the shore and next to the sauna, rearranged entire cabin, added a bed, fixed road, internet works great, Re-located dock and floating raft.

If you've stayed here in the past you'll be blown away at how much work we've done. COVID 19 allowed us the opportunity to live here for a couple of months.

If you haven't come to see what you are missing out on, New pictures and virtual tour coming soon extending our rental season year-round.

What makes this property unique

Sand Beach clear water, only 3 lakes in the area can offer this.

Master Suite is unbelievable, along with the Sauna and screen porch, we have a very nice dock.
