About this property

Birchwood Haven-Wooded Lakefront Cabin Retreat on Lake Chetac, Birchwood WI

Available year-round: Vacation in this spacious lake home with beautiful views, large 2+ acre yard, and waterfront on Lake Chetac in beautiful Birchwood, WI. Nestled in the northwest shore, this property is closely situated to Birchwood, Hayward, Stone Lake, Rice Lake, and Spooner. This cabin retreat has all the comforts of home and more. Great space for large groups with five bedrooms and three full bathrooms.

Per the new 2025 Sawyer County Boarding Room Ordinance rules, this lake home currently sleeps up to 14 total guests until 9/1/25. Beginning 9/2/25 and thereafter, occupancy will be capped to a maximum of 12 guests. There are six queen sized beds, one king sized bed, one pull-out sofa bed, and one futon available for use.

Feel right at home with amenities such as: a large fully stocked kitchen (with dishes, pots, pans, and small appliances), and two cozy wood burning fireplaces. Indoor activities available include a game room with a pool table, foosball, video games (PS2), arcade style game (Pacman), DVD and VHS movies. There are board games, puzzles, crafts, cards, wet bar, Smart TVs, and free WI-FI.

*Additional household amenities include: refrigerator, microwave, stovetop/oven, dishwasher, toaster, countertop ice maker, blender, coffee pot, waffle maker, electric frying pan, Kuerig, hair dryers (in each bathroom), washer, dryer, iron, bed linens, and bathroom towels (1 set per guest: 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel, 1 washcloth) Also available: Children's dishes, Pack 'N Play (2), crib sheets, baby gate, step stools in the two general bathrooms, highchair, and booster seat.

There is a sprawling backyard leading down to the lake front with outdoor activity equipment including fishing poles, kayaks, a pedal boat, and outdoor gas grill. You will enjoy the sunset views from the large two-level deck with plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining, as well as a walk-out basement covered patio. Roasting marshmallows around the large outdoor fire pit is a must! You will also find a dock available for fishing and securing your own boat. Take a walk along the spacious 2+ acre grounds or take advantage of the miles and miles of 4-wheeler/snowmobile trails nearby with some starting right outside your door!

Lake Chetac is a phenomenal 2400-acre fishing lake located in Sawyer County. It has a maximum depth of 26 feet. This lake is known for excellent fishing with plenty of bluegill, large-mouth bass, northern pike, small-mouth bass, and walleye. You can fish right from the dock or even ice fish in the winter. Lake Chetac has plenty of room for all kinds of water sports: swimming, water-skiing, sailing, pontooning, canoeing, paddleboats, kayaks or wave runners.

Rent our pontoon for an additional fee, bring your own boat, or rent one nearby and use the public landing and secure to our dock. Enjoy boating and waterskiing on this six-mile lake and venture over to connected Birch Lake if you desire. Lake clarity can vary depending on the time of year and weather conditions.

This lake home is close to recreational trails for ATV, snowmobiling, biking and hiking. The Tuscobia Trail is the main off road/ATV trail. It runs about 65 miles and is very well marked. Additionally, The Ice Age National Scenic Trail is a thousand-mile footpath entirely within Wisconsin and is nearby to hike some of the state's most beautiful natural areas. For biking, the Chequamegon National Forest offers miles and miles of trails.

In the winter, when the snow flies and the lake freezes over, you will find plenty of new adventures! Fabulous snowmobiling can be found on the hundreds of miles of local trails. These trails are part of the largest network of snowmobiling trails in the Midwest.

If cross country skiing is your thing, the American Birkebeiner Cross Country Ski Race occurs every year in nearby Cable, WI. Or, you can ​bring your own cross-country skis and go out across the lake. If you're looking for cross country trails, then try Nordic Woods, Beaver Brook, Ice Age Trail, or the famed Birkebeiner Trail.

There are MANY options for bars, restaurants, and shopping all nearby.

Awesome place!

Such a cozy and warm home on a beautiful lake! The teens loved their “den” in the basement and had a blast playing pool and Ms. Pac Man. Less than 30 minutes to Hayward. Super quiet lake- very little in the way of other boats and jet skis. The kitchen was super well stocked. We will be back!

Wonderful

The property is just as described, and worked perfectly for 6 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen is stocked with pretty much anything you would need, and there were plenty of games/activities for the kids. Adults and kids loved playing Foosball and PacMan in the basement. There was plenty of room at the pier for all of our boats and we were able to take them out every day we were there. Communication was fantastic and any questions we had were answered very quickly. We had a great time. Thank you for the great week!
