Start your vacation here! This charming custom log home will wow you! Our peaceful surroundings are the perfect place to escape and unwind. We are located in a private, secluded setting on Lake Chippewa on the Chippewa Flowage. With access to water activities, fishing, hiking, biking trails, me time and great shopping in Hayward this is a MUST stay for family and friends!

Our home has high speed wireless internet throughout the property, a fully stocked kitchen with cookware, dishes, microwave, blender, toaster, mixer, waffle maker, pancake griddle, crock pots, coffee maker, and essential utensils and gadgets. The 2 family sized living rooms give everyone plenty of space to unwind. Both rooms include comfy furniture and a large flat screen TV and are internet service ready. The Keurig and gas grill are waiting for you to enjoy your morning coffee and a bite to eat on our oversized deck or cozy 3 season porch .

With 3 bedrooms and an additional kids' area with two bunk beds there is room for everyone to get a great night's sleep! There is a queen bed in the loft area with a ceiling fan and closet area, a queen bed with a ceiling fan and a large walk in closet on the main level, and a king bed in an oversized bedroom and full closet in the lower level. Each bed is prepared with quality sheets, blankets and quilts for sweet dreams for all. Two bathrooms round out the house both with showers and one with a tub. The main floor washer dryer is available for use as needed.

Enjoy the excellent fishing and boating on Lake Chippewa. This 15,300 acre lake is one of the best fishing lakes in the Hayward area; known for it's Musky, Northern Pike, Walleye, Bass and panfish. Be amazed by the silence as you relax at the fire pit or spend time on the water. Our 35 foot dock is ready for your boats, or just sit on the bench and throw in a line! There is a fish cleaning station near the garage ready for you to use.

Take a break from fishing and explore the Flowage with our 2 Kayaks. How about a bike trip Hayward has amazing bike trails for both the leisure biker and the fat tire enthusiast. Or find that me time with one of the many books, Cribbage, puzzles, cards, dice and board games inside the property!

For your stay we provide all paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, coffee filters), trash bags, LP gas for the grill, liquid dish soap, dishwasher tabs and Clorox wipes. We also provide linens for all beds and bath towels. We have a traditional coffee maker AND a Keurig with a variety of coffee and tea pod for you to use. For your convenience there is a second refrigerator in the garage for any extras you may have. We do not have beach towels so please bring your own to use outside on the property so we can keep the bath towels inside for all to use.

We LOVE dogs and we want you to enjoy your vacation with the whole family, including the furry members. Up to two dogs are allowed at our home with prior approval and an additional fee. With that, keep in mind our home may not be the place for your furry babies if they:
*Consider barking to be a favorite pastime
*Chew things other than bones
*Like to visit others unsupervised (we do not have a fenced-in yard)
*Uses the house as a bathroom.
We ask that your dogs be supervised at our home and crated when you are not on the property (a crate is not available on-site, so please bring your own). Also, PLEASE pick up after your dog(s)!! It is NOT the responsibility of our cleaners.

We are excited to share our Great Escape with you all year long and welcome the opportunity for you to enjoy it too! Be it a sunny summer day on the water, a day enjoying the fall colors or a cozy winter retreat - there is always something to do and enjoy time together!

We are happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to hearing from you!

    We had a great stay at this property. The house was very clean and well stocked with all the essentials, which made everything easy and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location on the flowage was excellent, with convenient and easy access to the snowmobile trails. It was exactly what we were looking for and worked perfectly for our trip. We would happily stay here again and would recommend it to others.

    Nice house tucked away near the water. The house was exactly as pictured and described. Great kitchen area, no complaints whatsoever with bedrooms and baths. We were on a fall fishing trip and appreciated the water access, views, warm house and large driveway.Would recommend the property to anyone looking for a great stay on the Flowage.

    Very well stocked and equipped. Screened in porch a real plus, especially in rainy weather. Home was clean and just as shown in pictures. Owner was easy to contact and very responsive. Also a great place to bring a pet (private and generally contained yard). We had a great time.

    Been to the area many times, first stay at this property. The home is very nice--full of everything you'll need for a week of vacation. It's nice that the home is so well stocked! Everything was clean and welcoming. The host was easy to communicate with. Chippewa Flowage is an absolutely beautiful body of water. It's mostly wilderness and wildlife abounds. If you're staying here, it's a waste to not have a boat. The home sits on a narrow, quiet cove, which is nice, but you won't get a real feel/view of the lake without a boat. We rented a pontoon for the week, which we used a lot. It was a good sized boat and tying it up securely to the dock took some creativity since there are no cleats on the dock. If you're going to dock a boat, definitely bring your own ropes and a couple large carabiners. There were a couple ropes left on the dock, which helped, but it took some real effort to tie the boat securely enough to withstand whatever wind/storms could occur. A couple dock cleats would be a VERY welcome addition. Fishing from the dock was pretty good, got a few pike, a few bass, and a single perch. There wasn't much in the way of panfish, but that's okay. The firepit is really nice and we used that one night. Overall, I highly recommend this home!

    Superb cabin/home.So many amenities. . . Kayaks to use, fire pit with marshmallow roasting sticks, outdoor yard games, indoor family games, hea lamps for bathroom (oooo yeah), and those are just to name a few.Oh and ropes at the dock to tie your boat off, that was handy.When messaging to owners they were very quick to respond and helpful.Deer roamed in the backyard, just gorgeous and peaceful.Better than any hotel, so glad we went this route.

    Property is as described. Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, blankets and other supplies. Beds were very comfortable. This property is located in a very quiet, peaceful and private location. The spacious deck and screened porch were favorite hangout spaces. The lake is great for fishing! Caught enough fish for a couple meals and even more to take home. Owners very easy to communicate with and very responsive to our questions. Highly recommend this property, would rent again!

    House was plenty big enough for our family and had all the amenities we needed. Liked the fact that the property had a path and level walk to the dock and that it had a spot to clean fish. The dock had a bench at the end which was nice for fishing around the dock. Thanks for allowing us to spend our vacation at your property. Thanks for

    My family has been camping in Hayward for over 20 years, and this year we decided to do a Vrbo. We were so happy with our experience at the Great Escape! The house was clean, fully stocked, and the owners were very responsive. The house was very private, and the views were beautiful. We will definitely stay here again!
