Nestled in the heart of the northwoods on one of the most demanded lakes

 in Wisconsin, our cabin (chalet) is a wonderful retreat away from the chaos

of urban life.  Play a game of checkers on our woodsy checkerboard,

have a popcorn party and watch a family movie cuddled next to the fireplace,

or simply sit out on the deck and watch the calming waters or an eagle soaring by. 

(There are two eagles that perch on one of our trees!)   The possibilities are

 endless At the LakeYou’re sure to enjoy each and every moment...

and this is before you even hit the water or trails!
