Situated on 13 acres and 1/4 mile of private shoreline, this lakehome/cabin sleeps up to 12 and is located within 2 hours of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Wonderful summer, fall, and winter activites.
Enjoy your vacation in the time-honored Wisconsin tradition--UP AT THE LAKE. Available for rent for the first time, this family owned cabin is located on Lake McKinley which is 8 miles northwest of Spooner and two hours northeast of Mpls./St. Paul. The cabin has 1/4 miles of sandy shoreline and 13 acres of heavily wooded land which affords you a degree of privacy seldom found. Situated on point, the cabin overlooks a 105 acre lake (30 ft. max depth) that provides excellent fishing with northern pike, various panfish, bass and some walleye present. A plus for the younger non-swimmer is the shallow depth at shoreline with gradual increase in depth. No drop offs. A fishing boat with small motor as well as a canoe and kayak are available.
Warm honey colored knotty pine paneling surrounds you as you enter the great room. The decor is rustic but don't let that fool you--all new carpeting, bathroom fixtures, and appliances (even washer and dryer for your convenience) all immaculate. The three bedrooms are all paneled in different versions of pine and the main floor bathroom has a wall history of the cabin. Scoot down the spiral staircase to the family room in the walk-out basement with a Franklin wood stove for those chilly evenings. There's a large bathroom down here for the shower after swimming. A spacious deck on both levels gives you a wonderful view of the lake. Nearby is the small guest house with bunk beds which the kids love.
Plan a canoe trip down the Yellow or Namekagen River, both close at hand. Play golf at the Spooner Country Club or the renowned Voyager Village course, both open to the public. Visit the Tommy Thompson fish hatchery in Spooner, largest in the state and tours are given. Go to the Potter's Shed in Shell Lake and watch them fire Raku pottery or have them glaze your own pot. Hike the trail through the wooded 13 acres surrounding the cabin--you might surprise a deer. Play tennis on the Olympic sized court right on the property. There's a basketball hoop if HORSE is your game. And, of course, fish and swim.
Great fall hunting (deer, ducks, grouse), cranberry picking, and leaf viewing. Enjoy winter skiing downhill (Telemark) and cross-country on the lake. Snowmobile and ATV trails border the property.
