About this property
Vacation Memories Begin at This Beautiful, Comfortable Northwoods Retreat
Maple Cabin is one of four rental cabins at our family resort located on a quiet point on beautiful Big Chetac Lake. Whether you want to fish, explore nature, or just relax, this comfortable, beautifully-restored northwoods cabin is for you. Come once, and you'll see why some customers have been coming for over 20, 30, even over 50 years: this northwoods paradise feels like home. Everything about this cabin, from the vaulted ceilings to the knotty pine tongue-and-groove paneling to the spectacular view of the lake, all say "relax and make yourself at home." And that's what generations of our guests have done. Some have made Nystrom's Resort their vacation home for four generations.
* Both bedrooms have queen size beds.
* A futon offers sleeping space for up to two more, making this cabin great for families.
* Flat screen TV and WiFi
* Sliding doors on the lake side offer a great view of the lake and the woods.
* Spacious grounds are great for lawn games, enjoying a camp fire, watching local wildlife, or just relaxing.
* Easy walk to the lake--no stairs.
* Boat launch less than a mile away, trailer parking on grounds.
* Plenty of dock space.
* Special low dock for launching canoes and kayaks
* Easy 100-yard walk to Big Chetac Lake's famous Sand Bar, the nicest place to swim on the lake. This huge area of shallow water is the ideal place for all ages to swim, or play games, or just float around.
* Great fishing on three interconnected lakes. Big Chetac Lake is more than seven miles long and is connected to two more lakes, offering more than nine miles of some of the best fishing in northern Wisconsin. If you are looking for Nothern Pike, Walleyes, Large- and Small-Mouth Bass, Bluegills, Crappies, or Perch, this is the place for you. Clean and freeze your fish in our beautiful, clean fish house.
* Local wildlife you are likely to see include: many species of birds, ducks, geese, loons, bald eagles, deer, and great blue herons. Occasionally we also see beaver, otters, raccoons, and red fox.
* Cabin comes with a fishing boat or a dock slot for your own boat.
Maple Cabin at Nystrom's Resort is great for people, but not for pets. 2-footed guests only.
Our location on Indian Point is great if you just want to stay put, but it's also ideal if you want to get out and shop or see the sights in the Birchwood, Rice Lake or Hayward areas.
Why not come and make some great memories here? We and our guests have been doing that since 1942.

About the host
Hosted by John Nystrom
We are John and Bonnie Nystrom. We are 4th-generation owners of Nystrom's Resort. John's parents, Jack and Marilyn nystrom, after raising four kids, spent their retirement years investing their time, effort, and resources in the family resort. They enjoyed every minute of renovating the five cabins and other buildings. Jack passed away in 2015, and Marilyn left us in 2021. We are carrying on their legacy. We and you get to benefit from their hard work.
Why they chose this property
The story of Nystrom's Resort began in 1942 when Swedish immigrant and logging entrepreneur Eric Johan "John" Halberg had a vision for a family retreat at Indian Point on Big Chetac Lake. Family and friends told him his $300 was wasted on that land on the lake. "You could never grow anything on that sandy soil," they said. But he had a vision. Alice Nystrom was the only one of his nine children interested in the place, so he left it to her when he passed in 1949. By the Mid-1950s, Alice had completed five cabins and began renting them. Throughout the late 50's, 60's and 70's, Nystrom's Resort became the annual family vacation spot for many families. When Alice passed in 1987, her only child, Jack, and his wife, Marilyn, took over. They spent the next 28 years renovating the cabins one room at a time. Beginning with the 2008 season, they needed to curtail the number of guests they could serve each summer. Before Jack passed in September 2015, he insisted on completing the remaining projects. Beginning with the summer of 2016, Nystrom's Resort is again welcoming new and former guests to enjoy a northwoods vacation with us.
John Halberg's vision has been realized: We love gathering here as a family. Lucky for you, we also rent our cabins to guests. Come and enjoy this quiet, beautiful place with us.
But our cabins fill up fast, so if you're reading this, it's time to make your booking.

What makes this property unique
We love our unique location at Indian Point. With hundreds of feet of lake frontage on both sides of the lake, there's always another view to take in. We can enjoy both the sunrise and the sunset from right here. We are on o dead-end road, so people driving on it are not trying to get somewhere else. So this is the quiet side of Big Chetac Lake. We are the only resort without a bar and restaurant on this side of the lake, and we're the smallest one on the chain of lakes. Small family resorts like ours have almost all closed, but now you found one to enjoy with your family. Come make family memories you'll remember for a lifetime.
