Pristine 5-Acre Secluded Black Oak Lake Hideaway

This is a lovely property. Right on a beautifully clear lake, surrounded by woods, peaceful and quiet. You can watch deer coming down to the lake in the morning. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortably furnished. However, we came in September, when the nights were pretty cold, and discovered the furnace was not working. The pilot light needed to be lit and that's really something i'm not familiar or comfortable with, particularly when the equipment is not my own. We called for help about 6:00PM - it took us a while to determine that the heat was really not working - and could not get assistance that night. We piled on all the blankets from every bed in the house - there are several - and were ok until the next day, when a handyman came to light the light and also clean the burners, which were dirty. The owner of the cabin told us he would give us back one night's rent, which I felt was reasonable. Unfortunately, we never received that credit. I'll say again that the cabin was comfortable (once we got heat) and absolutely beautiful. I think it should be better maintained, with things like the heating checked out before people arrive. The owner said there were space heaters in the house, but there were none. And if you tell me you're going to give me back a night's rent - which I did not ask for - I expect that you will do it.

Awesome lake Very clear water excellent for kayaking water skiing tubing Very peaceful lake and property Loons and amazing sunsets

Great cabin, walkout basement provides easy access to lake and separation for larger groups. Great fishing, rented a boat through a local rental business. Excellent panfishing off dock and watch out for a northern or largemouth off the dock in the evenings.

Exceptional cottage on what might be the single best clear-water lake in Wisconsin. My wife and I had the very best time and we hope to visit again for a longer stay next Summer.

Love coming up here to get away from our everyday lives. Love that they are pet friendly. We have only come up in the fall but would love to see what it’s like in the summer.

This property is lovely with lots of acreage to roam. The peak of Fall in the Northwoods should be on everyone's list. Our rental is warm and comfortable with great views of Black Oak Lake. Lots of room for a large family. Everything that was listed was working and made our experience enjoyable. I definitely suggest this property.

Perfect spot to relax!

Our family of 6 had a wonderful time at Chad’s cabin. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host even allowed us to use the beach toys which were a huge hit with the kids. Even our yellow lab felt welcome with the dog bowls left for her in the kitchen. We spent the week kayaking, swimming and watching wildlife. We saw bald eagles, deer, otters and loons while kayaking on the Big Oak Lake, a huge treat for big city people like us. The cabin is comfortable enough but nothing beats the privacy and beauty of its location. We have found our new favorite vacation rental! Thank you Chad!

We had a wonderful week on Black Oak Lake with terrific weather and a gorgeous setting. We have stayed at BOL many times over the past 30 years and were excited to bring our grand children. We rented a boat and the dock was accommodating for the 22’ pontoon. We had quick communication with the owner Chad on many occasions and found him genuinely interested in helping us have a great experience. Sadly, during our stay, there was a huge mosquito issue in this area of the lake that we were unaware of prior to booking. We obviously don’t hold Chad responsible for the mosquitos, but we did ask for some extra attention to make it bearable to be outside. He was generous in having the property sprayed while we were there. The provided kayaks, paddle boards and floating island were loads of fun and our family enjoyed it all. The fire pit area is nice, but tall grass and mosquito issues prevented us from enjoying it. You honestly couldn’t be outside for long without being attacked by the mosquitos. I mention this mostly so that future renters prepare beforehand with mosquito spray, foggers, even netting for future visits. There were new beach towels for us to use and the laundry facilities in the basement were greatly appreciated. We did have concerns with cleanliness in the cabin as there was a plentiful amount of dog hair found on both floors, including in the downstairs bed. We vacuumed and swept daily. Also, a few of the towels pulled from the upstairs laundry closet reeked of cigarette smoke. The downstairs is roomy, but musty smelling, even despite air cleaning attempts. We were somewhat disappointed the grass around the cabin (during our visit) was ten inches taller than shown in the Evolve photos. All in all, our family had a wonderful time at Black Oak Lake.

Absolutely beautiful place. Last house on dead end road. 5 acres of privacy with a pier on a bay. Had a great week there. Thanks
