About this property

Amazing Waterfront Cabin on Placid Lake

This quality, comfortable lake cabin is located nine miles from Hayward and is tastefully decorated with a Northwood's theme and has wonderful lake views. Knotty pine walls and ceilings throughout the interior create a wonderful 'Up North' experience. This excellent family all-season getaway or retreat cabin is just what your looking for.

The main level is an open floor plan that includes a great room and dining area adjacent to a very functional kitchen. The kitchen is filled with modern cooking utensils, updated appliances, dishwasher, microwave, and cupboard. The large counter island accommodates extra seating for five. The main room has chalet windows with a great panoramic view of the lake and firepit area. The newly replaced deck with see-through view also provides comfortable outdoor seating including a view of the lake and fire area. The main level has two bedrooms (queen beds) and a full bath. A large deck complete with a gas grill overlooks the lake and dock area. An attached 10x10 screened in porch is furnished with adirondack chairs creating a relaxing area to enjoy.

The lower-level family room has two double futons and a single chair/ futon sleeper, a woodburning stove, flat screenTV/DVD player, bar/sink area, and an under counter refrigerator. The lower level also includes a third bedroom furnished with a full log bed and a log bunk bed, a second full bath, and a laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer. Lower level is a walkout to a large cement patio, picnic table, swing and a fire pit generously stocked with ample firewood. The wide and gradual steps to the lake provides access to a large, private dock and a sandy-bottomed swimming area.

This cabin is located on Placid Lake with boat access to Burns, Tiger Cat, McClaine, Upper and Lower Twin Lakes. Placid Lake is a 162 acre lake located in Sawyer County. Fish include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern and Walleye. Placid Lake is a clean, clear lake. Whether you have a pontoon, fishing boat, ski boat, canoe or kayak, all can be used to navigate these waters as you enjoy the natural beauty of the land and wildlife.

You will be conveniently located just minutes from several golf courses, a casino, restaurants, attractions, area events, and festivals. The cabin is a recreational paradise with many lakes nearby and snowmobile, ATV, hiking, cross-country skiing, and biking trails. Bird-watching can often be combined with a leisurely paddle on the lake. Experienced fishing guides are also available. It is a Harley Davidson rider's destination and makes a great base camp for all the great riding in the area. The cabin is located 3 hours by car from Minneapolis/St.Paul and 7 hours from Chicago.

Perfection

Girl's weekend for Cran Fest. Property is so charming and nicely decorated. Host was available for any questions and provided us with kindling for a fire, helped with water toys and gave us local area suggestions. We would reserve again.

Lovely location and home

This house has it all and is right on Lake Placid, a peaceful beautiful lake. Rent a boat and take a ride to explore the other lakes or not, grab a chair and sit on the pier to enjoy the sounds of the loons and watch the sky. The house is very comfortable, spotless and has everything for a vacation. Highly recommend!

Amazing place!!

We had the most wonderful stay at Doug and Gloria's place. They were awesome in their communication, flexibility and helpfulness. The cabin itself is absolutely beautiful. The view of the lake was amazing, we were able to get out on the kayaks and paddleboat, Every detail is thought through, clean, spacious and comfortable. We loved the pool table too! Definitely will get back here soon and hope to stay longer next time!

very nice cabin, amazing hosts

We have stayed in this cabin 3 times now as a family (2 children, my wife, and my parents). It is really a lovely cabin on a nice little lake. The kitchen is well appointed with dishes, cooking utensils, pots/pans, etc. The location is about 15-20 minutes from Hayward. Nice and quiet/serene, but still close to town if you need anything. Fishing on the lake is decent. We caught mainly bluegill with a few small bass and a few smaller pike. We have also rented a pontoon on nearby Round Lake which is a very nice, very large lake with great fishing. The hosts are really fantastic. They live in the cabin next door and are so kind. They let us use their coffee grinder, loaned us some powdered sugar to save a trip into town, and even helped us look for the kids who had gotten a little adventurous out in the kayaks and we couldn't see them on the main part of the lake. Doug and Gloria are really just so friendly and accommodating and want to make sure you have a good time. Highly recommend this cabin (just not when we want it again)!

Excellent

This was our 7th year staying at Doug & Gloria's cabin for our annual family gathering (6 adults&4 kiddos). Every year the cabin is very clean, well-stocked, and well-maintained. Doug & Gloria provide excellent communication and are extremely accommodating. They live next to property. They go above and beyond in every aspect of host. This wouldn't be our 7th year if it wasn't a great place with kind and caring hosts. Looking forward to year 8!
