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.
Step outside and experience what makes Blue Chair Bay unforgettable. Spend your days swimming off the sandy beach, floating in the bay, canoeing, kayaking, or fishing right from shore. Evenings are all about lakefront bonfires (firewood provided), string lights glowing through the trees, and watching the sunset over the water.
Fir even more lake fun, a pontoon is available to rent during your stay-perfect for cruising the Minong Flowage, sunset cruises, fishing, trip to Sand Island or just relaxing on the water with family and friends.
Families love the mix of outdoor adventure and indoor comfort, with WiFi, Smart TVs, games, and space for everyone to unwind after a full day in the sun. The calm bay is ideal for kids, while the private setting gives you that true “up north” feel.
Located about one hour from Duluth/Superior or 35 minutes from Hayward, you’re close enough for convenience but far enough to truly unplug. Nearby restaurants, bars, and local attractions make it easy to explore when you’re ready—but you may never want to leave the beach.
