Welcome to Blue Chair Bay, your private Northwoods escape on the Minong Flowage—designed for sun-soaked days, sandy toes, and unforgettable family memories. Tucked into a quiet, wooded bay with 234 feet of lake frontage, this lakefront retreat features a private sandy swim beach, calm waters, and plenty of space to relax, play, and reconnect.
This 4-bedroom + loft cabin (plus a fun kids’ hideout) offers an open-concept layout with vaulted ceilings, expansive lake-view windows, and two spacious living areas—perfect for families to spread out. The fully stocked kitchen, dining space, and 2 full bathrooms with fresh linens make your stay easy and comfortable from the moment you arrive.

We absolutely love staying here! Perfect for our family and pets. More people have found it though so unfortunately next year we will have to find somewhere else to rent but for those of you that have this cabin booked, you’ll love it!
Cute cabin, wonderfully furnished with room for many. Our family and dog enjoyed the week on a large, not very busy lake. We would definitely stay at this cabin again!
Wonderful place with plenty of space. True up north experience with great views. Accommodations were clean, odor free. Comfortable beds and a loft for the kids is fun. Plenty of Bar restaurants close if you're wanting to get out. Highly recommend.
Beautiful property with a nice private sandy beach area. Cabin was very clean with all the amenities for a fun and relaxing vacation. Would definitely recommend.
This is our second time staying this property and we love it. My niece especially loved the beach and all the toys we could play with inside on our rainy day. Couldn’t ask for a better family vacation spot.
This stay was amazing! Beach was great, weather was the best we could have asked for. The house was beautiful and accommodating for the entire family, having minimal steps getting down to the lake is a win for us! We’ve been renting cabins around Minong area for years and this was the best yet! Thank you for having us!
I feel so relaxed when I am here! The house is wonderful, cozy but also spacious. Plenty of spots to hang out and sleep. Beach and dock at great places to be. One of our favorite places.
We loved our time at this property! It was a beautiful home that was so welcoming. My niece loved the beach, and we loved the deck space and open kitchen layout! The host is the BEST—super clear communication, quick response time and very gracious.
Loved our stay at Blue Chair! Beautiful property with everything we needed to make it a fun week. Cabin is nicely furnished with plenty of space. Beach is amazing, we enjoyed the water and campfire every evening. So nice to be able to bring our dogs along for the fun. We would stay here again no question.
Erin's lovely property never disappoints! We enjoyed it as much in October as we did with the whole family in June. We have already booked our June 2025 vacation at Erin's place. Book Blue Chair Bay, you won't be disappointed!
This space was everything promised! We had a grand time among the peak fall foliage, enjoying the fire pit and all the great outdoor space. Took the kayaks out to Sand Island and kids had a blast exploring. We would definitely look to return for another stay!
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023
