Description: Big Bear Family Cabins L.L.C. is on a private lake meaning there is no public access, which keeps it much more peaceful and quite. The lake has about 50-70 acres of water depending on who is rating acreage and what depths they count, and neighbors have verbally agreed to not use gas outboards, so it stays quite and peaceful. We also require catch and release fishing for Musky but you can keep other species if they are of legal size and season, and you have a WI fishing license. The lake is a public lake without a public access point. Our deck looks over approximately 300' of Southwest facing shoreline without having to look at neighbors , other than houses across the lake. We have a pier and several fishing boats with electric motors, canoes, and a paddle boat that are free to use. The living room has a cathedral ceiling with windows facing the lake. There is a 22' tall stone fireplace from the floor to the ceiling. The Dining room and Master bedroom also face the lake. There is a large deck overlooking the lake and the only neighbors that can be seen from the deck are across the lake. The lake has good Musky, Bass, and Northern Pike fishing, along with endless bluegills for kids can catch right from the pier. In addition to the living room mentioned there is a rec room with TV, pool table, air hockey, a basketball game and lots of other games for kids on rainy days. Almost the entire house interior is cedar or pine and the atmosphere is very lodge-like and while it is not a log cabin it is almost all wood inside and out. . The end of our driveway directly connects to a branch of the snowmobile and ATV trail. We don't get much traffic here but it is nice to have direct trail access. Guests can walk to a small restaurant about 1/4 mile away,. It is usually open 3-4 days a week. We have a rental contract that you will need to sign and return before a rental can take place. We need to make sure your group is of legal age and will not violate local ordinances which limit the amount of noise and the number of people that can be at a rental property. We have a Smart TV, 4K, with access to the internet so you can bring your Netflix account number or similar streaming passwords to use there. We do not have satellite TV Most shows are now available online through Netflix, YouTube Amazon etc. We do not pay for these options but you can use your account from home on any Smart TV. There are a few channels we get through the air with a TV antenna.
