Wonderful Chalet on Big Lake Chetac

All you need for a wonderful 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 queen bed and a slider door that opens to the deck. The second main level bedroom has two twin beds. The fourth bedroom, with a sliding door that opens 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. Mia's Black Dog Lodge is one of two vacation rental homes that we own and manage on Big Lake Chetac.

Northwoods Retreat
The place looked even better than the pictures on VRBO. Located on a dead end road to add to the peaceful seclusion of the property. Of course the fishing on Big Chetac is always great. We will definitely be staying here again.

Quiet Lake Cabin
Stayed with a group of friends for a ice fishing/snowmobile trip. Although there was not enough snow to ride we had fun ice fishing on the lake and another lake nearby. Very fun getaway. House was very clean and organized. Great communication from owners. Will definitely be back!

Great place for a family vacation
We loved the access to the lake, the comfort of the home, and all the amenities. We would highly recommend this place and hope to be back! It was also nice to have the option to bring our four-legged family member! :)

Great Family Weekend Spot
Our family spent a long weekend at this lake home. Great gathering space in the main room and the kitchen was easy to use for getting big meals done. Bedrooms were all nicely set up. And having three full bathrooms was awesome. Communication with the owners was easy and they were very responsive. Nice lake with a good balance of peaceful quiet and active lake life. Note for those with a physical restriction, there are a lot of stairs you’ll need to manage to get down to the lake front and back up to the house. Yard space for setting up games like cornhole is a bit limited, but we made it work. Overall we had a wonderful time around the bonfire and would recommend for large groups.

Great property!
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Black Dog Lodge. Everything was clean and exactly as described. We loved that firewood was provided and the kitchen had anything you could need. The only downside was the checkout was really early at 9:00am.
