About this property

Blue Chair Bay offers a 234' sandy beach on Minong Flowage w/ impeccable views!

This 3 bedroom (plus loft/secret hideout for the kids), 2 bathroom Minong Flowage retreat cabin sits on a wooded lot with 234 feet of lake frontage only an hour from Superior/Duluth. The beach is on a private, secluded bay and has a shallow, sandy swimming beach. The cabin offers an open floor plan with a living room and family room (both w/ vaulted ceilings), a large dining room w/ a table that seats 6, huge windows with fantastic lake views, a furnace-grade LP fireplace, stainless steel appliances, laundry, and parking for up to four vehicles. The kitchen is fully stocked w/ pots and pans, coffee maker w/ coffee, toaster, crock pot, blender, utensils, dishware, silverware, and glassware. Plus, did we mention there is a dishwasher!

The cabin has 3 bedrooms, a loft that has a queen and twin bed, plus a pullout sofa in the primary living room. The main floor master bedroom has a beautiful lake view with a king bed, Smart TV, and a walk-in closet. The lower-level walkout has 2 additional bedrooms with queen beds plus twin trundle in each room. All beds include fresh linens; we even have a pack and play w/ linens for babies. There are two bathrooms; one on the main level that includes a full bathtub plus shower and one on the lower level that includes a walk-in shower. We stock both bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, and hand soap. There is also a hair dryer stocked in the main level bathroom. We provide wireless internet, and there are three Smart TVs (master bedroom, living room, and family room). There is also a DVD player in the family room w/ a variety of DVDs to choose from. Each TV is logged into Netflix and YouTube TV. The entry closet includes a large selection of board games, puzzles, and cards.

Three outdoor areas include a spacious deck, lower level patio, and large fire pit on the beach. Outdoor lights are strung throughout the trees creating a serene night time feel. The deck includes a fantastic lake view plus ample seating (a fire table w/ seating for 4 and a dining table w/ seating for 6), and a gas grill (we do not provide propane for the grill or fire table). The lower level patio walkout includes a kid picnic table, adult picnic table, and a bar height two person table. The fire pit sits right on the beach and includes 6 Adirondack chairs. We provide firewood.

The cabin is surrounded by evergreens, pine trees and everything you need to know you’re vacationing in Northern Wisconsin. The lake views from the three outdoor areas provide the perfect family-friendly, relaxing getaway you’re looking for. Being beachside means you’ll want to spend plenty of time in or near the water swimming, fishing, playing water sports, or just relaxing on the dock. We provide inflatable water floaties, a lily pad, and a kayak for your use (including life jackets of varying sizes).

The Minong area is filled with outdoor recreational activities including but not limited to ATV trails, golf courses, fishing, and multiple restaurants/bars on the lake. The Totagatic and Namekagon rivers are nearby where you can go tubing. There are boat rental companies located nearby...reach out to us directly if you’re interested in this! If you are renting during the winter, you will have the ability to ice fish, snowshoe, ski, and snowmobile on the many trails in the surrounding area.

About the Minong Flowage:
Minong Flowage is a 1587 acre lake located in Douglas, Washburn Counties. It has a maximum depth of 21 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from public boat landings. The nearby Totogatic Park includes a public beach. Fish include Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. The lake’s water clarity is low because of river minerals. The Flowage includes a sand island accessible by boat rental, which provides a family-fun, memorable experience where kids will get “lost” in the many adventures.

Our cabin is located on a secluded bay which is shallow and sandy near the beach. We have a buoy anchored off the dock so you can attach the provided lily pad where kids will enjoy jumping on and off for hours. If you’re looking for a day trip, we highly recommend Hayward or Duluth. If you want to stay close, consider renting a boat and visiting “Sand Island” for the day.

DISCLAIMER** For security and safety purposes, there are 5 cameras located outside of the residence. Additional information is provided in the check-in binder. Camera at each entrance of the cabin and two on the garage.

Great for families!
Our group had two families with five children ages 18 months to 7 years. We were delighted by the amenities for kids (like trundle beds for kids to sleep near parents, a high chair, toys, etc). We also loved that there were two living spaces so that everyone could spread out. We hope to come back again!

Loved our stay at Blue Chair! Beautiful property with everything we needed to make it a fun week. Cabin is nicely furnished with plenty of space. Beach is amazing, we enjoyed the water and campfire every evening. So nice to be able to bring our dogs along for the fun. We would stay here again no question.

Minong Cabin Stay
This space was everything promised! We had a grand time among the peak fall foliage, enjoying the fire pit and all the great outdoor space. Took the kayaks out to Sand Island and kids had a blast exploring. We would definitely look to return for another stay!

Another Fun and Relaxing Stay
This was my and my pups’ 4th annual and my friend’s 3rd annual stay at Blue Chair Bay. There is a reason why it’s an annual trip. Wonderful home, amazing property, and fun amenities. While you can “stay connected” here if needed, it is really easy to disconnect, relax and recharge. Thank you, again, for sharing your slice of heaven!

3 Generation Family
The house was a perfect fit for our 3 generation family with 6 adults and 3 kids. The central spaces where big enough for all of us to eat and do things together and the 4 bedrooms were private and comfortable. The best part of our stay was the large sandy beach with the gradual lake bottom. We all had a great time. Have already book our stay for next year.

Home Away From Home
This is our second time staying at Blue Chair Bay, and yet again, it didn’t disappoint. The size was perfect to sleep our party of 6 adults and 4 kids. We rented a pontoon and enjoyed countless hours on the Minong Flowage. The campfire weather was perfect and the house had plenty of space for group activities and alone time. We can’t recommend this home enough!

Beautiful Retreat - Repeat Guest
This was our third time staying at Blue Chair Bay, which has become the highlight of our summer. We already booked a week for 2024. Each year there are additional upgrades which makes our stay even more enjoyable. Rain or shine there are plenty of activities. The hosts literally think of everything.

Absolutely Fabulous!
We had an amazing time at Blue Chair Bay! This was our first time booking a trip at Blue Chair Bay with our family. We have been coming to the Minong Flowage for the last 14 years but never stayed here. We highly recommend! The property was as described and more! Erin had a flair for decorating and everything was so homey! Also, the beds are comfortable. We have been so many places with horrible beds. Erin was quick to answer our questions. We had the best time just being with family and laughing. We enjoyed ourselves so much we booked a mini stay in September and our family vacation again next year. We will continue to book with Erin….at least til we can retire and move on the Flowage.😊

Fun Family Retreat
This was our first time staying at the Blue Chair Bay and it won’t be our last. Loved the property, shore line, dock, and every necessity you need available to you. Tons of games for our kiddos (3 and 7 YO). We rented a pontoon for the week from John who was recommended by the owners and that worked out wonderfully. We also rented a UTV for a day from Petits in Minong to hit the trails. Beds were comfortable and enough room to spread out for some quiet time to read or watch your own movie. Only bummer was we enjoy taking walks with our pups in the morning and the road out front can be fairly busy with fast traffic. But once we turned off on a side road all was good. hosts were responsive and kind. Definitely recommend! 5 Stars!

Special spot on the lake
Our visit here was incredible and would be amazing for a family with kids. Great little bay and beach for swimming, incredible fire pit on the beach, plenty of bedrooms and space for everyone to spread out or gather. Appreciated that we could bring our two dogs along instead of boarding them. Great place to stay for cabin time with friends and family.
