Sandy beach, quiet lake, great fishing & beautiful sunsets w/2 kayaks & gameroom

**Welcome to Your Northwoods Getaway on Quiet Crystal Lake**

Tucked into the heart of Wisconsin’s Chequamegon National Forest, your dream lake vacation awaits. Picture this: Mornings spent sipping coffee on a large deck overlooking glassy waters, sunny afternoons kayaking from your private beach, and evenings gathered around a crackling lakeside fire pit under the stars. At our Crystal Lake retreat, every moment invites relaxation, adventure, and lasting memories.

**Lakeside Living at Its Best**
Step outside to your own private paradise—sandy lake frontage with a gently sloping yard, perfect for swimming, sandcastle building, or simply lounging in the sun. A private dock offers direct access to the clear, 117-acre lake, ideal for boating, fishing, or jumping in for a refreshing swim. You’ll have full access to a row boat, two kayaks, and a pedal boat to explore the lake at your leisure.

**Room for Everyone**
The main house is warm, bright, and built for gathering. With three bedrooms, a cozy loft, and two bathrooms, there’s space for the whole family—or two! The open-concept living room features a wall of windows that frame sweeping lake views, and the fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals a joy. Whether you’re cooking dinner, playing games in the loft, or relaxing on the couch with a movie, you’ll feel right at home.

The main-level master suite includes two queen beds, a walk-in closet, and a private bath with direct access to the deck and lakeside views. A second main-level bedroom features a plush king bed and full bath nearby. Upstairs, the loft offers a kids’ dream hideaway with two twin beds and a fun play area, plus there’s a queen sofa bed in the living room for extra sleeping space.

**The Ultimate Bonus Space – Game Room & Guest Quarters**
Just steps away is the detached garage, transformed into a two-level bonus space. The lower level is a fully stocked game room—complete with pool table, foosball, board games, and another Smart TV. It’s the perfect rainy-day retreat or evening hangout.

Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms: one with five twin beds and another with a queen bed, plus a full bathroom. This space is both heated and air-conditioned, making it perfect for year-round stays.

**Nature, Adventure & Tranquility – Right at Your Doorstep**
Located on the quiet shores of Crystal Lake, you’ll be surrounded by over 850,000 acres of protected forest. Whether you’re seeking peaceful relaxation or outdoor adventure, you’re in the right place.

* **Fishing Paradise:**
Crystal Lake is home to panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and walleye. Launch your boat from the nearby public landing or tie up at our private dock. In winter, enjoy easy access to excellent ice fishing right out front.

* **Trail Access from the Front Door:**
Hop on your snowmobile or ATV/UTV and connect directly to the extensive Bayfield County trail system. Ride through dense forests, past lakes and streams, and across some of Wisconsin’s most beautiful and remote terrain. Rentals are available nearby if you don’t bring your own.

* **Four Seasons of Fun:**
In the fall, come for the vibrant colors and great hunting options nearby. In the winter, enjoy cross-country skiing on area trails—or try out a ski trail near by. Come spring and summer, hike or bike through miles of CAMBA trails or the scenic North Country Hiking Trail. No matter the season, the outdoors is calling.

**The Perfect Launchpad to Explore Northern Wisconsin**
Beyond the lake, you’re perfectly positioned to explore all the charm and culture Bayfield County has to offer—from local eateries and craft shops to scenic drives, berry farms, and historic sites. Whether you're here for a weekend or a week, you’ll quickly see why guests come back again and again.

**Make Your Escape to Crystal Lake**
Whether you're casting a line at sunrise, stargazing from the dock, or laughing with loved ones over s'mores, your time at our Crystal Lake retreat will be filled with comfort, beauty, and unforgettable moments. Come ready to relax, reconnect, and write your next favorite chapter in the Northwoods.

Great stay - relaxing, peaceful, but also lots to do

We had a great time staying in Crystal Lake. The shallow water at the end of the dock was the perfect peaceful place for hours of playing in the water. We also enjoyed fishing and the game room. All in all it was a great stay.

Women's Weekend

Lake was amazing and clear, we were able to get into the water easily. All the beds are really comfortable. The pictures don't do it justice its such a cute place and decorated nicely. Was very clean and taken care of. The hosts were very helpful and gave us details on where to rent UTV and a nice dinner. We loved both so much! Thank you John/Kim for opening your cabin up to renters such as us. We definitely loved the area and the loon was a fun bar within a few miles as well. Was such a great place for a bunch over overworked moms to stay and relax.

Family cabin trip

We had a total of 9 of us and the hosts made accommodations so we didn’t have to sleep on the sofa sleeper. Everything was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed and more. The lake was a dream, especially for the younger kids. Great fishing and crystal clear. We played all the games, pool table, and all the water toys. Thanks for the wonderful memories!

Nice place, ghosted about discount

This home is spacious and met our group’s needs for a busy ski weekend except for missing one functional bathroom. The host informed us of a water line (out to a second building containing bedrooms and a bathroom, not connected to the main house) freezing 1 week before our stay for Birkie 2025 (arguably the busiest time of the year for the Cable area). We said we would make it work. It was inconvenient to walk between buildings to use the bathroom / shower and so we asked if the host would consider providing a discount for our stay. They briefly responded that they would “look into it” and then absolutely no more contact. Disappointing.

Spectacular get away!

I would recommend this home to everyone! It is a beautiful home with all the amenities you could need. The home was very clean and the views were spectacular from the dock that is located just right outside the back door of the cabin! My teens had a great time taking the kayaks and the paddle boat out. My son was excited to catch his first small mouth bass right off the dock! The garage will also have alot to offer once complete , with the pool table and foosball table. Overall a very memorable vacation!

4th annual Guys getaway

There were 9 of us that stayed at this property. It was very accommodating and the house was spectacular. The pictures don't do it justice. We do a big trip every year and this was the best place we've stayed at hands down. The lake its right out the back door and your relatively close to a bunch of bars/restaurants and recreational activities. The host was fantastic to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure all nine of us at separate beds. If you're looking for a "True UP North Wisconsin Getaway" look no further.

"We found our spot!"

For the past 6 years we have tested out various VRBO properties, trying to find the "perfect" spot for our family get togethers...and this past Labor Day weekend, we found it! Our requirements included: 1. Sandy beach with gradual depth so the grandkids could play...check! 2. Clear water so we could swim off the pontoon boat or dock...check! 3. Lake that's large enough to pull a raft behind the boat, but not over crowded with boaters...check! 4. A large, clean property...check! This house is absolutely perfect for our family. There are two large bedrooms on the main floor, a cute "playroom" loft above the kitchen. Then, there is the bonus space of the two bedrooms and one bathroom above the game room in the garage. This allowed my daughter with 4 young kids to stay in a separate building so she didn't have to keep them quiet when they woke up at 5:30 am. 5. Deck...check! The beautiful deck is huge, so we could all sit around comfortably. And the bonus is that it's low to the ground, so we didn't have to worry about the grandkids falling off. We will definitely come back again!

A cozy stay in the woods! We had a great stay- plenty of beds, a well equipped kitchen, and a great location. We were there in the winter so we didn’t get to enjoy the lake, but the house is only 15 minutes away from world class skiing at the Birkie Trailhead! The converted garage was also a great addition. We recommend! 10/10
