All you need for a lakeside vacation! Our large, welcoming chalet is perched on a wooded hillside overlooking Lake Chetac, north of Birchwood. Enjoy stunning lake views, beautiful forests, abundant wildlife and exceptional fishing! A sandy lake bottom at the shoreline makes for great swimming and there's a private dock - bring your boat or rent one nearby if you like. Our private dock can accommodate 2 boats easily. We provide 3 kayaks for guest use. A grassy lawn at the lake's edge provides a place for yard games, evening campfires, and relaxing. Please note: Property does not have a sand beach... it's a step down from the grass lawn into the lake, where bottom is sandy.

Fish house w/water (warm months), electricity, counter, double sink, a freezer and propane heat.

Direct ATV trail access from our home! Winter guests w/ATVs or snowmobiles can access the lake/ice & snowmobile trails from our property.

LOCATION:
We're close to Birchwood, where you'll find well-stocked mini-markets, gas stations, restaurants and stores. Lake Chetac has several 'boat in' restaurants as well. ATV/UTVs and Snowmobiles have direct trail access.

ABOUT THE HOME:
The open kitchen with island is fully equipped with stainless appliances (including a dishwasher) crock pot, coffee maker, blender, teapot, toaster, pots and pans, bakeware, etc. Please note that Wisconsin law prohibits hosts from providing any food or beverage items - even the most basic - so please plan to bring everything you'll need with you. Don't forget your spices. :-)

Two spacious living rooms offer amazing views of Lake Chetac. The main level living room has a gas fireplace and TV with live channel streaming. The 'glass wall' has sliders out to a deck that extends across the entire home. The lower level living room has a flat-screen TV and a 'glass wall' with sliders out to another deck. Here's where you'll access the steps leading down to the lawn and the lake.

There is a full bath on each level. The loft level has a queen bed and two twin beds. On the main level, one bedroom has a king bed and direct access to the deck; the second main level bedroom has two twin beds. The fourth bedroom, with direct access to the lower deck, also has a queen bed. All sleeping areas are spacious, with ceiling fans and generous-sized closets.

We are licensed and compliant with all Sawyer County and State of Wisconsin laws and ordinances relating to Tourist Rooming Homes.

    Very nice clean property. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our 2 families which included 6 adults and 4 teens. We were in the area for a pheasant hunt, and the location was perfect, near the game farm. Loved the deck areas, and the view of the lake with the fall colors was beautiful. The downstairs family area was perfect for our kids to have their own space away from the adults. Kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities for cooking you would need and more. Host was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely look to book again in the future.

    We had a very nice week at Mia’s Black Dog Lodge. Everything about the house was top notch. Seeing many eagles around the lake was a huge bonus! One even landed in a tree next to the dock. Fishing from the dock was great for the little ones. Unfortunately the algae prevented us from getting into the water. This is a wonderful location and the lake is beautiful.

    We are grateful for the beautiful home and accommodations this week--our annual family get away. Good fishing off the dock and on the lake, quiet mornings with coffee and babies on the deck overlooking Big Chetac. Such a blessing to be here--clean and well-kept. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

    We (a small group of women friends) absolutely loved Mia's Black Dog Lodge for our annual spring girlfriend's getaway. It was super clean, comfortable, wonderfully furnished and decorated, and had everything we needed. A beautiful spot and convenient to town. We will return!

    We had a great family getaway at the end of summer. We enjoyed kayaking and as well as relaxing in the house. A crazy summer storm went through the area and the power was knocked out for several hours. Gerri checked in on us via text after the power went out—that was really thoughtful.

    One of the best VRBO stays we experienced. Everything we needed, clean, and plenty of room. Gerri is an A+++ host. My family had a great time and my grandson caught his first ever fish. It doesn't get any better!!

    We liked the cabin A LOT. Well furnished. Having 3 bathrooms was great. Fishing was ok. Despite sand bottom by shore, water was green and floating weeds so we weren’t in water as much would have liked. Very nice fire pit area. Hayward not too far away for family activities.

    This was our second stay here & it was fabulous! The cleanliness of the home makes it a winner for me, along with the location, and being dog friendly. Bernie and Gerri are wonderful property managers & really take care of their guests. This spot has a special little place in our hearts!
