About this property

Pet-Friendly Lakeside Cottage w/ Kayaks and Canoe!

Welcome to Cattail Cottage, your cozy retreat nestled on the shores of Lower Holly Lake, in Stone Lake, Wisconsin. This open-concept cabin, built in 2021, boasts a perfect blend of modern comfort and rustic charm.

First, some quick notes:

Parking -- We kindly ask for a 4 vehicle limit. The driveway is the only place to park and it is not very big :-).

Dock Install/removal -- Our dock for Cattail Cottage is located within short walking distance from the property. Check out the illustration we have in the photo gallery that shows where the dock is! We usually take the dock out of the water late October (we wait as long as we can) and we usually put it back in around mid/late April (we try to get it in as soon as we can). If you are looking at dates during either of these times of the year, don't hesitate to reach out to confirm status before booking.

If you are thinking of bringing your own boat, ATV's, snowmobiles, etc, get a hold of me so we can talk logistics. The road coming into the cabin is tight, and so is the driveway.

Cabin Highlights:

• Spacious Living: With 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a finished walk-out basement, this 2,000 sq ft haven comfortably sleeps 10 guests. The cozy ambiance, complemented by central air and heating, ensures a delightful stay year-round. Note: The 4th bedroom is an open loft. Great for kids. Check out the photo gallery!
• Scenic Views: Take in the fantastic view of 48-acre Lower Holly Lake from the large deck or unwind in the screened-in porch. The beauty of the lake is right at your doorstep.
• Entertainment Galore: The fully finished walk-out basement is a game-lover's paradise, featuring a ping pong table. For those seeking relaxation, the gas fireplaces on the main floor and in the basement provide warmth and charm during the winter months.
• Full Kitchen: The complete kitchen, with a spacious center island, is a chef's dream. The dining table, seating 10, is perfect for shared meals and memorable conversations.

Perfect Location:

Cattail Cottage is ideally situated just a 10-minute drive from the charming town of Stone Lake. Explore pubs, antique stores, a micro-brew/coffee house, and a wine bar, all contributing to the town's unique charm.

For those craving more excitement, the bustling town of Hayward is a short 15-minute drive away, known for its food, shopping, year-round events, festivals, and tourist attractions.

Outdoor Adventures:

The cabin sits on a snowmobile and ATV trail, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Cattail Cottage, with its own dock, is perfect for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. This hidden gem offers a quiet escape with amazing fishing opportunities, including Northern Pike and pan fish.

For bikers, Northern Wisconsin is home to some of the best biking trails in the world! & The CAMBA (Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association) trail system offers over 300 miles of trails that wind through beautiful forests, alongside pristine lakes, and over challenging terrain.

Great home!

We travel a lot and rent a ton of houses. This is the best home we have stayed at in the Cable/Hayward area. It is very clean, modern and super well equipped. We now stayed there 4 times and enjoyed every stay. Our recent stay was for the Birkie ski race, and it worked great. The host is also super responsive. We will continue to stay here if we are in the area. :-)

Great place!

Very neat, clean and in a quiet location but yet close enough to town for activities and groceries. Cabin was well stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of games and space to keep busy. The beach area is not located directly on the property but it is a short walk down a nearby trail. Pretty sunsets. Overall we all had a great time.

Great for families!

We visited with another family and the space was great for 8 people, all ages. The cabin has the basic necessities and the lake access was wonderful. We will definitely keep this location in mind for future cabin trips! The host provided us with so much information upfront that it kept our need to communicate very minimal so we could be in full vacation mode!

Excellent Hideaway

We had an excellent time at the Cottage. My whole family enjoyed the fire pit roasting smores on the warm summer nights. The ping pong table was a hit with my teen. My husband and son even ventured on the kayaks and went around the lake a couple of times.. The house was very clean with plenty of towels and bedding The welcome book was very thorough. It was really an enjoyable experience I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Brad O'Connell

Host profile image
My wife Sarah and I are from Eau Claire (about an hour and a half south of the chalet) which is where we live too. We have 2 teenage kids at home, so like a lot of families, we are busy keeping up with sports, school activities, and everything in between. We identify with everyone out there who feels the need to get away every once in a while.

Why they chose this property

We love the northwoods! We chose to buy this home because we stayed at a handful of cabin rentals nearby in years past and fell in love with this area. It didn’t take long before we dreamed of owning our own cabin someday.

What makes this property unique

When you're inside the cottage, you still feel connected to the outdoors. Even though the building is brand-new, the cottage interior has that classic rustic feel. It's cozy yet at the same time, provides all the space you and your family need to spread out and enjoy yourselves. We absolutely love this cottage and our hope is that you will love it too.
