About this property

Summer in Winter (Unit 5)

Great 3 Season Cabin available for rent on Island Lake just northeast of Winter, WI and approximately 30 minutes east of Hayward, WI.

Almost everything is here at the cabin - dishes, full size fridge, coffee maker, toaster oven, full bathroom, TV, VCR, DVD player, tons of movies and games. All you need to bring is your food and clothes. In regards to bedrooms, the cabin will sleep 4 comfortably. One bedroom has a queen size bed. Second bedroom has a bunk bed with a twin bed on top and a double bed on the bottom. Occupancy maximum is 5.

There is a nice fire pit outside located between the two cabins that is shared between the two cabins. There is a second fire pit next to the lake. Plenty of firewood is included with your rental but if you want a fire, please bring your own paper/newspaper/stuff to light a fire with.

For the lake, included are: rowboat, 2 paddle boats, 2 kayaks, a 2 person canoe, fishing equipment, life jackets, etc. There is a pontoon available for rent for $100/day from property owner. If you are interested in renting the pontoon for your stay, please reserve the pontoon when you book your stay, as it is shared with the adjacent cabin on a first reserved - first served basis. If there is something else you'd like (or the pontoon is already reserved by the neighbor cabin) M&M Rentals in Hayward (715-634-3146) is just a short trip away and has all sorts of recreation items to rent.

Have a big group? There's another cabin adjacent to this one, look up VRBO #2626378

For the fishing enthusiast...Island Lake is a clear 70 acre lake which is a Class A Musky lake and also has an abundance of Bass and Panfish. For the ATV enthusiast, the cabin is located a short distance from the Tuscobia Trail. The Golfer can enjoy some of the award winning golf courses in the Hayward/Cable/Winter area...Historic Barker Lake Lodge/Golf is a short drive away and was built by gangster "Gentleman Joe Saltis" in the 1920's. For some solace you can spend the day on the water by kayaking, tubing or canoeing down the Chippewa River from the Winter Dam to the Ojibwa Inn. It is a wonderful way to spend time with this leisurely 8 mile trip which has some of the nicest scenery in the world and a good place to watch some Bald Eagles at play. Have all the privacy of a small quaint lake with the flexibility to spend the day in Hayward or Cable and do some shopping, golfing, or dining. We look forward to having you as a guest in Winter, WI where you can wake up each morning to the sounds of our adopted family of loons. Come up north and Summer in Winter!

Weekend get a way

Very nice quaint property. If not traveling with a group and both cabins are occupied the "commons" area between the cabins can feel crowded. Over all the location is excellent and the host is very responsive and friendly. All amenities one would need for a stay are provided. Very nice place to get away to on a quiet dead end road.

Great stay!

Cabin is cozy and right on the lake. Beautiful view and sunsets, close to town but still remote. Bring your own drinking water as the well water has a little smell to it. Rent the po toon if available!

Enjoyable little cabin

The cabin was great. Its has everything you'd ever need and then some! The bathroom in the cabin was larger than I'd expected. We had access to kayaks canoe and rowboat as well. Which i would have loved to enjoy during my stay but was unable to due to the weather being rainy and windy. There is a public boat launch right off the cabin which gets a little traffic. The lawn in front of the cabin is quite uneven so that posed some difficulty for my mom who has a hard time getting around easily. The lake is beautiful, fishing was tough likely due to the weather. My only criticism with this cabin is that we noticed many wasps, spiders and asian beetles in the bathroom. It was a little disconcerting but other than that we enjoyed our time there.

Great up north cabin!!

This cabin was perfect for our weekend away. We had plans for the weekend but I wish we could have stayed longer to go out on the lake in the kayaks available. It was so beautiful walking up and seeing the lake. We will be back and will be recommending this as a place for our friends.

Great Quiet Location!

By far the quietest and most relaxing lake I have stayed on, which was very nice. Good lake for kids as there is not a lot of boat traffic which made the paddle boat and kayaks a nice option. Would recommend!

Winter Cabin

The experience was good. Positives- Location on the lake, cleanliness was outstanding, kayaks, paddleboat, and firepit was great. The neighbors were very considerate. Concerns- Rustic cabin that could use more internal lighting. The water had the typical iron taste and smell. Future residents not use to iron in water may want to bring drinking water. Finally, we didn't have bath towels. We bought two and accidently left them behind. Overall, a good experience.

About the host

Hosted by Ginger Neubauer

Host profile image
We vacationed in these cabins four summers in a row and fell in love with them and the area! We love the quietness of the cabins and the serene beauty surrounding the cabins.

What makes this property unique

The cabins sit about 50 feet from the water on top of a small ridge which overlooks the entire lake. There is an island in the middle which is the adopted home of two bald eagles which build a large nest every year. The lake is spring fed from a slew on the east side of the lake, which makes it very clear and refreshing to swim in. The deepest part of the lake is about 50' deep with most of it around 5-15' deep. We enjoy fishing, biking, riding the ATV trails, going to Hayward for golf/shopping, kayaking or tubing down the Chippewa River, hunting in the Fall, and exploring the thousands of acres of Chequamegon National Forest. It is truly a wonderful place to visit.
