Ryan and Mary's cabin is the perfect place for a small family getaway. The 3 season porch overlooks the lake and it's the perfect location to enjoy your morning coffee. My wife and I actually spent more time there than in the cabin! Beds were very comfortable and the window AC unit kept the cabin plenty cool even with temperatures approaching 90 degrees. We will definitely be booking here again.

The cabin was clean and well stocked with the essentials. The beds were very comfortable and the room air conditioner was able to keep the entire cabin cool even though it was 90 all week. The big screened in porch with an outside deck was a nice place to relax and enjoy the view of the lake.The pontoon was clean, ran great and reasonably priced for the whole week. Fishing was good considering the temperature and Canadian wildfire smoke.The host answered any questions we had in a timely manner. I would recommend this cabin for a fun and relaxing vacation.

Cabin on the Lake

This is a cutely decorated cabin on the lake. We had a wonderful, relaxing week! Spent a lot of time on the pontoon fishing. Enjoyed time on the screened in porch overlooking the lake. Loved watching the eagles!

A wonderful little cabin!

Despite the fact that i ended up on crutches 2 days before our trip, it was a wonderful stay and we enjoyed every minute of it. The pontoon was awesome and we spent a great deal of time on the water. The cabin was clean and cozy. Would definitely return!

Beautiful property in peaceful surroundings

We had a wonderful and relaxing week. Loved the screened porch patio and enjoyed breakfast and dinner overlooking the lake. Loved the eagles. The only downside is the size of the shower, so tiny. Loved the pontoon, worth every penny. Thanks Mary & Ryan

Peaceful Getaway

We truly enjoyed our week on Lake Chetak. The location was very quiet and very peaceful and the Eagles were absolutely gorgeous. When we were not touring the lake on the Pontoon, we spent most of our time relaxing on the very peaceful screened porch or enjoying a nice bonfire. My only wish is that the cabin had Wifi. That said, we plan on returning.

Great time

Had a wonderful time. Very relaxing and stress free. Caught more fish than we could possibly keep. We ended up catching and releasing most. We would highly recommend this cabin if you want a peaceful and relaxing getaway. Can’t forget the wildlife. Bald eagles above and deer everywhere.

Rest lake vacation

Very peaceful lakeside location! Good bluegill fishing right off the dock. Renting the pontoon made the vacation, we were on it every day. Easy drive to Hayward shopping and sites, lots of bar/grills in the area. The screened porch was a lifesaver, the mosquito conditions were prime with the wet summer. Owners right next door, were available but not intrusive at all. Cottage was very well kept and very comfortable. Very nice lakeside cottage, highly recommended!

Nice cabin

Nice location on the lake .was cold and rainy most of the week, so gas fireplace was great We rented the pontoon, but because of the weather didn't use it much. Fishing was tuff but we had good luck off the dock. We caught bluegill , bass ,perch, crappie and northern pike from the dock

Great place on fabulous lake

The property setting is beautifully situated overlooking the lake. The cabin is roomy enough and nicely equipped. The screened in porch is a fabulous place to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The deck is a nice size and is the perfect spot to watch the sun set. A fish cleaning station with running water is awesome for cleaning the beautiful pan fish caught on Big Lake Chetac. The lake is fabulous with lots of room to have some fun and play, relax, or go fishing.

Clean, quiet, well set up cabin

Very clean and has everything you need! Loved the screen porch so much we are going to add one to our home. The whole place has a nice open feel. Nice grill and appliances. Was a quiet week on the lake which was exactly what we wanted. Fishing was enough to keep you interested but could have been better.,. Beds were comfortable. Awesome place would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your cabin Ryan and Mary!
