About this cabin rental
Tucked away in the middle of the Chequamegon National Forest is the delightful community of Clam Lake. Majestic pines, cluster birch, and a quiet lake provide the backdrop for our beautiful hand-hewn log home. This is a truly unique home and property! Our home is situated on our own 16 acre peninsula, surrounded by water on delightful Beaver Lake, a small refuge for waterfowl and wildlife. There is only one other property on the lake so privacy is yours. Rustic but not primitive, this home has five bedrooms (including a loft), and three bathrooms. It comfortably sleeps ten. The main floor has a large, well-equipped professional kitchen with Viking stainless dishwasher, range, and refrigerator/freezer. The kitchen is stocked with enough cookware, appliances and utensils for even the most discriminating gourmet cook. A sunny eating area with its handmade rustic pine plank table seats ten or more, and looks out over the deck and lake beyond.
The great room has a large fieldstone fireplace, custom Old Hickory furniture, cable TV, wireless high speed internet and a DVD player. Windows facing the lake extend two stories for fabulous views of the lake and surrounding woods. Old Hickory and antique furniture is inter-mixed with comfortable seating throughout the first floor. Off of the great room is a sunny all season porch facing the lake with two story windows on three sides. It is truly a spectacular room and a favorite of our guests. The main floor has 2 charming bedrooms, one with a bunk bed, and the other a double. Both rooms are furnished with handmade log furniture and wool throw rugs. Out the back door is a deck, which is a nice spot for viewing the lake while sipping morning coffee or an evening drink. Seating is provided at a comfortable dining table with an umbrella.
Upstairs there is a master suite loft with a king bed, en suite bath with a double shower, leather chairs and a private deck. A wall of windows provide memorable views across the lake year round. The loft area is a treat in itself. Downstairs there are two knotty pine bedrooms warmly decorated with a Northwoods theme and handmade beds. They share a newly finished full bathroom. The downstairs is also home to our large game room with a pool table, game table, and foosball table. We also have a large collection of children's toys and games. The laundry area is in the basement as well.
The natural beauty of the woods can be enjoyed inside or out. A large stone firepit complete with seating overlooks the wetlands and sunsets across the lake. The lake can be enjoyed by non-motorized watercraft only. A canoe, large paddle boat and paddle boards are provided. A large wetland at the opposite end of the lake is a summer breeding ground for many waterfowl including wood ducks, sandhill cranes, Canada geese and even bald eagles. The entire house is surrounded by extensive gardens that bloom into fall. Several trails are cut through the property for a short walk or simply walk down to the forest road for a quiet stroll through the woods. Across the lake are snowmobile and ATV trails that hooks up to literally hundreds of miles of trails through the wilderness. The surrounding area is filled with year-round outdoor activities. At the end of the day, you can return to the peace and solitude of Beaver Lake... or simply never leave!

My husband and I stayed for a weeklong family getaway with our 4 adult children plus their spouses/signif others and a baby. This cabin suited us perfectly! With five bedrooms, there was enough space for everyone, though we did bring a queen air mattress due to one of the rooms having a double bed. The master BR fills the loft--it is very spacious with great views and a deck, but it is open to below so there is noise if others stay up later.
The cabin was clean and the kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, pans, glassware, and cooking utensils, etc. Items that were not included but would have been nice to have on hand were tin foil, larger ziploc bags (to take our leftovers home), and basics such as sugar and coffee. The bathrooms did not have shampoo, conditioner, or body wash, so you will want to bring your own.
The property itself was wonderful! It felt like we were on an island because the lake surrounds the cabin on three sides. We used the canoe, paddleboard and swimming raft quite a lot. We caught a variety of small fish from the dock and canoe--fishing esp. good at sundown. The firepit area is lovely--all stone--and overlooks the lake. No firewood--it would have been nice to have a bundle or two provided for us.
We found free pickleball courts about 20min away at Silverthorne Lk Pk and rented a pontoon also 20min away at Mystic Moose Resort for just $250/day. The girls went horseback riding at Spider Lake Ranch.
Overall this cabin was fantastic for us!

A very peaceful and quiet location. Tons of wildlife. Plenty of fish to catch in the lake. Tons to do in the area from hiking Copper Falls State Park to go-karting and Lumberjack shows in Hayward. Julie the host was very easy to work with. Check in was a very simple process. The cabin was very spacious and rustic.
However..... The cabin was filthy!
Master bedroom bed sheets had stains.
Master bedroom shower had a loose valve shower handle.
Dishwasher didnt clean dishes at all(we had to rewash most dishes by hand)
Stove top was dirty and covered in grease.
Oven didnt cook evenly.
Non stick frying pans were pretty much shot due to non stick coating chipped off (were horrible to cook with).
Downstairs smoke detector went off 2 nights in a row. New battery didnt seem to work.
Landscaping around cabin needs attention. A lot of over grown bushes in front of deck railing. Hard to even see the lake. There was a rose bush overhanging the deck railing on table side. We couldnt even take advantage of the full table due to the rose bush was covered with thick thorns.
To top things off the deck grill started on fire. With the poor cleaning of the grill, any caked on grease at the bottom of the grill caught fire and we used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Not to mention the grease catch was also full of grease. Grill brushes had almost no bristles left.
Clean and fix your stuff people! We pay good money to stay at these places and this is what you get.
So much potential here!

Wonderful property for a family vacation! It is located on a peninsula so you have the lake on three sides. The family had a great time fishing, paddle boating, kayaking, swimming, playing games, shooting pool, and grilling/cooking meals together. Great space with decks, porches, pier, beach area, trails, fire pit, swimming platform, and plenty of outside and inside area to play! One of the top places we have enjoyed!!

We have stayed at over a dozen VRBO properties in the last 10 years, either with family or friends. This is the only place we have chosen to come back again a second time and would do so a third.
This property has it all. We love to cook so the superb kitchen was perfect. It wasn't seasonal to utilize the fireplace but can imagine how inviting it would be on chilly or cold days/nights.
This spacious "cabin" that allowed for indoors games, private areas, a huge dining table and 3 bathrooms (esp with 3 teens) was so much appreciated.
We ranged from age 10 to 74 and each one of us felt at home and found extras from books, to games and more to help entertain.
We enjoyed the deck every day. We did wish there was another table so the whole family could eat there together.
The two docks with canoe and new paddle boat gave room for the swimmers, kayaks and rafts so as not to interfere with those fishing.
Some took early morning walks and saw wildlife each time. Not running into a bear or elk was okay but certain would have made those walks extremely exciting.
We had an unexpected situation arise just prior to our check in that the owner graciously helped us resolve - so very thankful.
Julie, the property manager, was very helpful and accommodating. She checked in on us after we were settled and called to let us know of a repairman coming and also another service person ahead of time. The home and the grounds were very well maintained and clean.
The laundry facilities were appreciated with our group!!! The pool table a plus.
Everything in and on this property was top notch. And the welcoming gift of s'mores fixin's and sticks hit it off with young and old alike.
Thank you for the opportunity to stay here once again. Kudos to the owners and to the staff.

We had a wonderful time at beautiful Beaver Lake Lodge. Our 2nd year and the property did not disappoint. Even with the rainy weather the lodge was big enough that all 9 nine of us had space for alone time and when playing games, working on a puzzle and family meals there was enough space to comfortably be together. Thank you again for a wonderful week!

This place was lovely and offered lots to do. Canoeing, hiking, golf were some of the more physical activities. However, there's ample space for settling in with a good book, sunbathing or just staring into space and watching critters. All worthy efforts. Dining opportunities were a bit slim, partially due to staffing problems, but there are still places to dine, especially supper. Recommended.

Beautiful setting and very clean! Loved the spaciousness and number of activities available to us. Paddle boating, canoeing, fishing, swimming, pool table in basement. Many books and games provided. We brought paddle boards that we used on the very quiet side of the property. Perfect because we are beginners. I highly recommend this vacation spot!! Jolyn

We had a wonderful time. The Cabin /Lodge was exactly as listed but exceeded our expectations! From our 3 year old Grandson, 5 & 7 year old Granddaughters and 10 year old Grandson, their parents and Jama, and Papa. Really enjoyed the park like setting on the semi private lake. Please drive slow on your way into and out of the Driveway as there were Deer and Elk on both sides at times. There was a White Swan , Beaver, Muskrat and several Loons that were seen during our stay. Also the Grandchildren enjoyed fishing and swimming nearly every day. The Raft, Canoe and Paddle Boat were a big hit as well. The Fire Pit was great and the S'mores were delicious. We can not express how grateful we are to have been able to rent this beautiful property. Thank you so much to Leigh Ann, and her fantastic Property Managers Julie and Bud

This was our second stay at this property and we absolutely loved it! It was clean, spacious, and perfect for 3 generations to gather. We loved the privacy and the beauty of the property, and were very impressed with how quickly the driveway was plowed when it snowed. The highlight was the eight elk who visited almost every day, with more than one visit some days, and occasionally some whitetail deer. Can’t wait to go back!

Great family fun!
Our 3 generation family loved this cabin and are excited to return! The cabin is spacious and clean. We enjoyed swimming, yard games, and using the canoe. Our family favorite was definitely the fire pit. We had some surprise cold summer weather and used it all day. Even when there wasn’t a fire going we would sit there to enjoy the beautiful view of the lake. Great family vacation!

Perfect Northern Wisconsin Getaway
Wow! Incredible property. Our group of 9 (4 adults and 5 teens) spent 7 days and 7 nights at this amazing cabin. The cabin is on a peninsula surrounded by a (nearly) private lake. Our boys loved swimming, fishing, canoeing, and playing basketball and other games on the spacious property. The cabin has everything you need, including a wonderful reading room for the adults and a game room (with a pool table) in the basement for the kids. Bedrooms and bathrooms are very clean and comfortable. Sitting on the deck and enjoying the lake was so relaxing. We had a fantastic time and hope to come back.

Beautiful Lodge and Location
Had a wonderful stay! My husband and 5 adult family . Despite Covid-19 - we settled in feeling safe. Plenty of indoors and outdoor space for individual time and family time; meals, movies and games. Beautiful lodge and area! The only disappointment was the fish were not biting. Would highly recommend - hoping to come back in the furture.

Private Family Time
Our family had an amazing time here. The only downside is that eventually we had to leave. We are a family of 4, kids are (7 and 5 yrs. old). The property is beautiful as is the house. It is extremely private, we did not see another person anywhere while on property, not even on the lake. On nice days we went for trail walks, swam in the lake, played yard games, went on canoe rides, fished from the dock, had campfires while watching incredible sunsets and read in our hammock we brought with us. On rainy days the kids had a large beautiful house to explore. We played board games and did puzzles. My wife was able to work still via wifi and the house was big enough that the kids didn't bother her while she did so. We have stayed at some incredible properties across the country and never had a bad experience with VRBO, but this was our favorite. Hands down.

Delightful week in the north woods
A wonderful place to stay for our three-generational family of ten. Spacious, beautiful, well-appointed home. And the property is a peninsula on a clear, beautiful lake. Our little ones loved the swimming dock and we canoed everyday. Wildlife: there was a nesting pair of loons nearby. We saw swans on the lake (trumpeter?). And though it was not prime viewing season for elk, we saw a couple and heard some amazing bugling. ... We also appreciated the extra care making sure the house was safe and clean before our arrival. Thanks so much.

Peaceful Lodging
Our stay at Beaver Lake Lodge was so peaceful and tranquil. The house is absolutely fabulous; everything is quality, the log home, the furnishings, the grounds, gardens, fire pit, the lake, even a well maintained secret path.
Our family enjoyed our stay and hope to come back in the future. We have stayed at many homes but this one was the best yet. We had plenty of space for our 3 generations of family, we fell in love with everything this property had to offer and there is so much to enjoy. I was so happy to see my grandchildren having a wonderful time with all the amenities.
Leigh Ann the owner and Julie the property manager were so friendly and accommodating. I felt relaxed, at peace and blessed that the owners shared their special peace of paradise with others. I will always cherish the memories of this idyllic sanctuary.
