About this property

Last Minute opening for Birkie 2025.

Our secluded cabin is nestled inside 13 wooded acres on Mirror Lake. You will enjoy your own private beach on a private lake and there is a 14 x 18 three-seasoned porch providing mosquito-free relaxation day or night. There are a total of nine homes around the lake but for the most part, you will have the lake to yourself. A paddle board, paddleboat, 3 adult and 2 kiddie kayaks, and a canoe are available for your use. Fishing for crappie, bass, and pike is exceptional. This is a good lake to teach your kids how to fish. The lake is small (50 acres) and is ideal for small boats. If you prefer bigger lakes the Round Lake boat launch is one mile down the road. Enjoy campfires on the beach in comfortable Adirondack chairs, explore the wooded property, and enjoy morning coffee and sunrises on the wrap-around deck.

The water is crystal clear but the bottom is a mix of both sand and mud.
There is a cleared swimming area of approximately 20 x 20 with a sandy bottom near the 'beach'. The lake is about 30 feet deep in the center. We have a 6 x18 water mat (lilypad) that can be pulled out where the water is deep. It's easy to climb on and off while in the water.

The majority of our summer guests are repeat and book privately. From time to time schedules change and dates open up. To get on the notification list simply inquire here on VRBO.

Peace and Quiet

The home was perfect for us. We enjoyed 5 peaceful days with our two dogs. Esther was a pleasure to work with and the property has everything you need. Bonus is the location, and we were fortunate to experience the beautiful fall colors during our time. If you are looking for a relaxing place to escape your busy lives, this is it.

Long Weekend Getaway

This place was great! The setting was even nicer than the pictures could ever portray! It was so private, clean and cozy. We felt right at home. The canoes and kayaks were used each day, and our dog LOVED running back and forth down by the water. The screen room is a nice area to keep the bugs out, but we were pleasantly surprised that even while down by the lake, there were hardly any mosquitoes. We didn’t use the fire pits because it rained at night for 2 of the 3 nights, but they have two fire pits to choose from, one by the house and one by the water. Fishing was way better than we expected too. My youngest caught perch, bluegills, crappies and bass, and my husband and I found the crappies. You can watch dozens of small bluegills right near and under the dock too. Little kids would love this. We made most of our meals during our stay, and they had everything we needed. When we bbq’d steaks, my husband said he wished he had a meat thermometer. Sure enough, they had a meat thermometer! My two teenaged boys put together both puzzles, we found the cribbage board and made good use of that, and…the canoe was even used to retrieve a neighbor’s boat after he capsized! Great memories were made. I would definitely stay here again and would encourage others to do the same. Thank you for sharing your cabin!

Third Time a Charm

This is our 3rd trip to the Northwoods of Wisconsin. And as my husband would say “ best Wisconsin vaca ever!” The Maina’s cabin was everything we could have wanted for our fall vacation trip. Loved everything about it! Our dogs loved it too! Great fishing and town was close for any essentials we did need. Enjoyed the privacy, the campfires and the 3 seasons room! We had our dinners out there every night! The cabin had all the supplies and amenities for a comfortable stay! Would highly recommend!

Great week in the North Woods

This property is wonderful. We loved taking our dog on walks along the path and down by the lake. The weather was a little cold and rainy a couple of days, but the cozy cabin was perfect to cuddle up with a book. It's also just an hour and a half drive to Duluth, which made for a really fun day trip.

Fab Location & Perfect Getaway

Property is simply stunning! Located just 15 mins from downtown Hayward and just a few minutes from Round Lake, it's the perfect location! Lots of great outdoor spots on the property. We especially enjoyed the screen in area that kept those pesky mosquitos away!! Kayaking and paddle boarding on Mirror Lake was simply stunning. And wait to you hear the loons at night! Kitchen area was huge and had every available tool / gadget you could think of! Two bathrooms were plenty big and beds super comfortable. Owner was super communicative and accommodating. Would absolutely choose to stay here again! Internet was a bit slower, but gets the job done as it's the only thing available in the area.

Peaceful beauty

Loved this cabin! Beautifully decorated, clean, well furnished, and such a great location! The little lake was fabulous! Caught fish, sunbathed, paddle boarded, played games, had campfire, and my dogs loved the place, too! Never turned on the TV once, but looks like you could. Would definitely return!

Cozy cabin in the woods

Very neat and super clean, from the towels to the sheets and even the floors, spotless. We enjoyed our 3 days here and would consider coming back again if ever in the area. The weather was a little on the cooler side (and rainy) so we didn't take advantage of the lake and all the offerings to enjoy that. The kitchen was well stocked with all necessary amenities. The only thing any of us thought could be improved was the temperature of the water in the shower, it was tepid at best.

Relaxing Stay

Everything was wonderful for our stay. Beautiful place, extremely clean and comfortable. We loved the lake and the quietness of the area. Loons calling every morning as we took our morning walks. Many fish were caught in the lake and our kids had a great time! Looking forward to staying again!

Beautiful, super clean, comfy! We had a perfect stay and hope to visit again.

I am convinced that we found the best place in the area for a weekend with friends to enjoy fall foliage. Four adults and a happy papillon pup could not have been more pleased with the incredible view and so many comfortable places to sit. Coffee on the screened porch, lunch on the deck, a little time on the water and dinner inside before enjoying a campfire before bed. Thank you.

A beautiful cabin in a great location.

Private and Peaceful Paradise

We had the lake to ourselves, didn’t see a soul and found the cabin tastefully decorated and immaculate! There was nothing we wanted or needed that wasn’t provided! Morning coffee on the deck, cribbage in the three seasons room and plenty of space for our pups to run! One of my favorite rentals we have stayed in

Peaceful Getaway!

We were so impressed, the stay and accommodations exceeded our expectations. Very cabin-ish but with a modern flare. Super clean and inviting. The lake was peaceful and quiet; we loved being surrounded by nature. It was wonderful to have a pick as to what we would venture out on the lake with. We are already booked for next year and can't wait. Thank you for such a fabulous time!

Spotless cabin on serene setting!

What a wonderful vacation we had at this beautiful cabin. Everything we needed was provided. Full kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a/c, beach towels, water toys, dog friendly--all things I would have put on my "must have" list, this place offered. This is a true vacation spot if you are ever looking for rest and relaxation. The location was very private and we had the lake to ourselves the entire week. Yet, it was close enough to a Walmart (15 min) should we need to grab something. I've stayed at many rentals over the years and this was by far the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in. You can tell that the owners take great pride in this cabin and we felt lucky enough to have them share it with us! Esther was wonderful to work with--very prompt and accommodating. The screened in porch was so nice to have on nights when the mosquitoes were too active to be outside. We really appreciated the paddleboat, kayaks, water carpet, life jackets, canoe and beach chairs that were provided---our kids were in heaven! The beds were very comfortable and the bedding provided was so nice--I always appreciate when places give you extra bedding as most hotels don't even do that anymore. We are already looking forward to returning next year. This place is a gem and Pete & Esther have raised the bar on rentals--all rentals should live up to this place! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful cabin, we appreciated every bit of it!

Beautiful private setting

Property was well maintained. The three season porch is the reason I booked the property. We sat on the porch and listened to the symphony of woodpeckers. We also had to rescue a hummingbird that got into the porch and could not find its way out. The kitchen was awesome! The best kitchen we have ever had in rental. Enjoyed sitting by the private lake.

This cabin is a favorite. It is peaceful, well decorated, and included everything we needed for a week long stay. I over packed! Although it was a cold week, we couldn’t tell until we stepped outside. The Birkie Trails at OO are 20 minutes away and beautifully lit for night skiing. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
