About this property
Northwoods Get Away! Enjoy the privacy of this property & large game room!
**Welcome to Your Northwoods Adventure Basecamp!**
Looking for the perfect place to gather, relax, and explore? Whether you're planning a family reunion, snowmobile or ATV club ride, golf outing, girls’ weekend, corporate retreat, or a getaway with your fishing crew, this spacious home is your all-season destination for fun and connection. Or simply bring your favorite people and enjoy some downtime in the beauty of Wisconsin’s Northwoods.
This home does NOT have direct lake access, but is located near the scenic Chetac Chain of Lakes, this property offers spectacular views, abundant wildlife, and year-round outdoor activities. The home features a large backyard perfect for games, gatherings, and bonfires, with direct access to trails and the serenity of the forest.
**Hit the Trails — Right from the Driveway!** We’re located near the Tuscobia ATV and Snowmobile Trail, with instant access across the road to the trail system. This trail runs for 65 miles and is well-maintained and clearly marked. Hikers will love being close to the renowned Ice Age Trail, and biking enthusiasts can enjoy the extensive trails of the nearby Chequamegon National Forest.
**Water Adventures Await** Though this home doesn’t offer direct lake access, we’re just minutes from two public boat landings on Big Chetac Lake, and surrounded by lakes teeming with recreation and fishing opportunities. Explore local lakes by kayak, pontoon, or fishing boat (available for rent nearby), relax on sandbars, or even camp on an island. The area’s lakes are perfect for swimming, boating, skiing, paddling, and wildlife watching.
**Angler’s Paradise** With lakes like **Big Lake Chetac, Red Cedar, Birch, Spider, and Long Lake** nearby, anglers will find endless opportunities to reel in walleye, northern pike, bass, crappie, and panfish. Each lake offers its own charm, structure, and character—from secluded coves to open boating waters.
**Golf Getaways** Love to golf? You’re in for a treat. With seven golf courses within a short drive, including Tagalong, modeled after St. Andrews in Scotland, the area offers everything from relaxed 9-hole courses to challenging championship layouts.
**Winter Wonderland** When snow blankets the Northwoods, it’s time for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. Our location connects you to one of the largest snowmobile trail systems in the Midwest. Trails are meticulously groomed and maintained, and scenic routes abound. Nearby spots like Nordic Woods, Ice Age Trail, and the Birkebeiner Trail are perfect for winter sports enthusiasts.
**Relax and Recharge** After a day of adventure, unwind at home with a game of pool or ping pong in the rec room, or gather around the firepit for stories under the stars. Prefer a slower pace? Snuggle up with a good book on the front porch, enjoy a movie night, or simply take in the stillness and serenity of the Northwoods.
**Nearby Attractions** Explore charming towns like Birchwood, Hayward, Spooner, and Rice Lake, each offering unique shopping, dining, and local experiences. Don’t miss a visit to **historic Stout Island**, a place of wonder and timeless beauty that’s captivated visitors for generations.

15/10 will stay again!! Great location for our atv trip. Lots of space for our whole family and the game room was a great bonus! Communication from owners was quick and very clear check out instructions left.
This was our first experience with a VRBO stay and Amy and John"s property did not disappoint. It was a fantastic home with plenty of space for our family. The kids enjoyed the game room learning to play ping pong and the location was wonderful for ATV trail access.
Perfect for the large group to stay and ride for the weekend just off the trail.
Comfortable beds and nice garage to hangout and have some beers after you get back!
5th year staying here and we will be back
Nice place to stay and close to ATV trails. Second time we stayed there and this time with our wives. Five couples enjoyed our stay and all the activities in the area.
This is our third year staying at this property for a fall SXS trip. It is perfect location for a group with lots to do at the cabin and right across the road from the trail system. Highly recommend!
This house is awesome. there were 10 of us--we had enough space for all of us. The pics and description were exactly how the property is. Easy access to the trails. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and silverware. The beds were SO COMFY! We totally enjoyed ourselves. We hope to stay here again!! Thank you for the awesome home and location to ride the trails.
Property met all off our expectations and needs, loved the inside the garage room and outdoor fire pit and deck. Everything went smooth, the main level toilet flush thing stopped working within a few hours but didn’t cause any problems with us. Appreciated the early check in
This place was everything we wanted and more! Very spacious, well kept, and entertaining. It has more than enough bathrooms, space, and sleeping locations to accommodate large groups comfortably. The location is great, although there is no lake access on the property, it's only a short distance away. The entertainment room in the garage was great for keeping everyone entertained while it rained.
Wonderful wooded privacy get a way for large families. Many private bedrooms, with large deck and fire pit for gatherings. Garage had ping pong and pool table to hang out to spread people out. With 4 bathrooms it was never a problem with our group of 12 adults. Having two large picnic tables on the deck was great for dinners along with a table inside that seated 8. Lots of parking for two large trailers we had for side by sides. Would rent again if in the area.
Property size suited are purpose and we had a great time. Property needs some upgrades and attention to details, lighting was a little dim specially in the living room and kitchen. Some mattress preference complaints to be expected sent email to John on issues to be addressed. Still was a nice property with great location to areas trails, stores etc.
We always have a great time with family here. We were disappointed with the temp in the garage/game/room when we arrived. 30 Degrees and no heater. We had to purchase a heater in order to be out in game room , very cold. House is cozy & all beds very comfortable except for double bed in toy room. Lighting in kitchen could be a lot brighter. Overall a wonderful time was had by all. Thankyou
House is in a good location for trails, but not really close to anywhere else. We had 5 couples and everyone was comfortable.
Place needs updating, stove did not light, screens were missing on most of the windows, and the kitchen/ dining room was very dark. Twin beds in basement were not real comfortable for adults, but it worked ok. Loft window did not open.
All in all though, cute house, we would stay again.
Nice large cabin that accommodates larger group of guests. Good amenities, play area and plenty of bedrooms. We had a great time staying at this place and looking forward to visit again.
The bedrooms and bathrooms worked out great, the rec room was the perfect place for the grandkids to have lots of fun, very nice outdoor fire pit to set around and make s’mores, overall a very beautiful home, would love to stay again.
John and Amy were very hands on from the day I reserved their beautiful house. Questions were answered swiftly. We rented for our snowmobile club trip with what ended up being 10 people. We had plenty of room. The place was clean, beds were very comfortable and had extra pillows available. The towels provided weren't your usual small hotel towels, they were nice , big and absorbent ones, which I appreciated. Highly recommended. The only drawback as a snowmobiler was the distance to anything, such as gas stations or restaurants. The trail is just down the road and easily accessible.
Check-in was easy and simple.Deck had citronella candles ready which were needed. Garage was a perfect hangout spot and the beds were comfy. Would book again.
