We loved our time at the property! We knew it was a little bit away from the lake and still enjoyed it so much. The weather didn't cooperate and loved the screened 4 season porch that felt like we were in the woods without getting wet. We rented the pontoon and it was the best to be out on the lake. Be sure to get the email and phone number before getting on the road because GPS will not take you there. Scott was great to meet us at the road and drive us back after we got lost. :) My girls are ready to book it for next year and bring friends!
Very remote, very woodsy. SO glad we were able to use the pontoon; puttering around the lake was so great. Hearing the loons at night did my heart good. We had 4 adults staying, and another couple from Cable day-visited. Plenty of room for conversation, hanging out, etc. One caution: this particular unit was second-story, over a garage, with lots of exterior stairs. This was not mentioned in the description, and anyone who has difficulty with stairs should not rent this unit. That said, our whole group did have a lovely time.
Description was as listed. Very clean property. Perfect for our 5 day stay. Remote from town but we didn’t mind! We also rented the pontoon boat. Scott was wonderful to work with and quick with responses to questions. Perfect northwoods experience and we enjoyed our stay very much!
Very nice place. All the amenities and extras were nice. Just wish I knew it was up stairs over the garage. Bad knees and all. But made due. Everything was great! Thanks
The cabin was very clean and nicely furnished. Super cute. There are comfortable beds and a cozy couch and big chair to watch T.V. We saw a lot of does and fawns. We rented the Pontoon which was great! We explored the lakes and loved the boat. We caught, 1 Musky,several large and small mouth bass ,perch and panfish. Catch and release (for us). Hayward has a nice main street with many shops and we ate at the Steakhouse and Lodge ...good food. Scott was very responsive to questions. Overall, we loved our stay and it was too short!
Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay very much. We had the whole place to ourselves which was very nice. We saw plenty of deer, rabbits and ducks. Our kids also loved the beach area! We highly recommend renting Scott's boat too. We spent so much time out on the water catching a lot of (smaller) fish.
After a rough year, we were ready for a family getaway and Scott's cabin on spider lake for the bill perfectly. The welcome basket of goodies was a nice touch. We took our vacation earlier this year and everything was wonderful. Cabin was perfect for our family. The lake was nice and fishing was good for us. Golf down the road at spider lake resort was a bonus. Kitchen was fully stocked. Comfortable beds, slept great. What's not to love? Thanks for everything!
Nice, clean and cute cabin on calm and quiet part of lake
The cabin was very clean, all necessities we needed were available and in good condition, and had a nice modern updated interior. Very nice little cabin! Instructions provided were clear, and the gift basket of miscellaneous items for guests is a nice touch! The part of the lake this cabin is on is just lovely, very quiet, calm and serene.

Clean but….
The unit was very clean and the interior was very nice. Nothing about the interior was in any way lacking except for the water pressure, which was pretty light. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean, crisp and hearty. This is obviously a well cared for property. I am incredibly particular where cleanliness is concerned and on my visit, it gets a 10 of 10.
If you are looking for charm, this is not it. The unit is above a garage overlooking a giant gravel (unkempt north woods style) parking lot. I don’t think this was well articulated in the listing. Given the awkward location/style of the unit—NOT cabin—I think it was a little pricey. You get the feeling Thst you are kind of robbed of the north woods experience. Also…no dishwasher or laundry on premises which was a bummer.
We had a very nice stay. The property was recently remodeled and well taken car of. The kitchen has everything needed to cook or bake. The porch is large and was nice to have during inclement weather. The old school resort setting was exactly what we were looking for and we had the whole property to ourselves. The only down side, you have no (zero) view of the lake from the condo. Plus the building is a duplex, not an issue for us due to the fact we were the only ones there at the time. We felt the price was fair for what you’re renting.

About the host
Hosted by Scott Crosby, Owner
We have owned The Mohawk since 2002. We purchased it to have access to the Spider Chain of Lake and to be able to enjoy everything the area has to offer all year-round. Snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, water sports and relaxation are all high on our priority list, and this cabin make it all possible. The cabin was remodeled in 2014 to include a new kitchen, all new flooring, new bathroom and we converted the original screen porch into a four season room to be enjoyed every day of the year regardless of the weather. My wife and I live int he Twin Cities in Minnesota and love the idea of sharing this cabin and this area with families and people who have visited in the past or are looking to get to know the area for the first time and are looking for comfortable accommodations.
Why they chose this property
This particular property offer the best of all possible features. Having been a family resort that has now been sold to private owners; there are still all the features that made it a great place for family vacations. Located on Fawn Lake (one of the smaller lakes of the chain) you get quiet enjoyment of the lake and beach. When you are ready to do some boating or tubing etc., the channel to Big Spider is just a thousand yards from the dock. Speaking of the dock, you will have use of a private slip for you boat, There is electricity and lights at the dock for your convenience.
What makes this property unique
Some the unique benefits of The Mohawk include its location on the property. The building sits above and behind the small seasonal cabins which allows for you to retreat at the end of the day to private peace and quiet. The large lawn space near the lake is a great benefit as well. It is a great place to set up lawn games/tournaments, or just grab a lawn chair and soak up some sun! This is not "ruffing it", the cabin is air conditioned, has wifi internet, satellite TV, and super comfortable beds. The fact that it is a year-round place give visitors the option to come enjoy the second season in the area, with access to trails less than a half mile away!
