Beautiful view of the lake from the cabin. Cabin was well stocked. The pontoon boat rental was a bonus. Would stay here again.

We had good time overall.

Beautiful cabin, perfect lake, so much fun! Family of 6 (3 generations) plus our water loving dog….cozy but spacious cabin, very well stocked kitchen, plenty of room for all. Wonderful views of lake inside and out, GORGEOUS huge window views from cozy living room. Comfy places to sit (inside and out) to have coffee and gaze at lake and plan what to do first! Places for all of us to sit inside or out together for meals. Used the BBQ grill several meals and even caught enough fish to have a fish fry dinner. Plenty of room in kitchen, we made all our meals ….and baked muffins, birthday cake, bread and pies. Nice new big fridge and great gas stove/oven. 2 full bathrooms, great water pressure, lots of hot water for us all to take showers at the end of our blissful days. We enjoyed every Single second of our week! We rented the pontoon for the week (awesome) and found some great fishing spots….bluegill, crappie and even a 20 inch bass off the dock!! We swam (Heaven! Warm clear water), fished, kayaked, canoed, had campfires while gazing at lake. Paddled around and saw bullfrogs, turtles, loons, bald eagles. Watched a couple movies in the very comfortable living room on rainy nights. Played cards and Scrabble. Great selection of movies. Went into town (convenient) for an ice cream stop - West Side Dairy….huge scoops and homemade waffle cones. John (the cabin owner) was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. A special place! Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven John!

Our family just spent a fabulous week at the Knapek’s cabin. The view and location can’t be beat. Windigo Lake is beautiful and quiet. Our kids had a great time swimming off the dock and the lily pad. We also rented the pontoon boat just for a day and had a great time exploring the lake. Highly recommend taking advantage of the boat rental - it was one of rue highlights of our week. The cabin was very comfortable for our family of 5 with plenty of room to spread out inside - two full bathrooms definitely a plus! The outside space was great. We grilled and ate outside most nights. My husband and I both have family nearby and enjoyed entertaining a couple of nights at the cabin. John and Chris met us at the cabin when we arrived and were so kind to our family. One of our boys had a bit of sunburn and John brought over some aloe for him. They were nearby if we needed anything and really made us feel at home. We are already talking about returning next year. A really special place to make memories and relax as a family. Thanks for a great week!

Our week at this cabin was great. The cabin was very clean with all kinds of room to maneuver with 8 people staying plus a dog. John was very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. We rented the pontoon which turned out to be a great decision. The lake was very quiet with little to no traffic. Great place to stay, 5 stars.

John’s place has everything your family or friend group could want in a vacation getaway. From the living room window, our group of five enjoyed the stunning lake as it changed color and temperament throughout the day. We ventured daily onto the private lake to canoe and paddle board and bird watch. We alternated our meals inside and out to take in the woods and lake views and fall air. What else? Hiking and biking trails. Comfy beds. Well equipped kitchen. Fire pit. Collection of board games and novels. Pet friendly. Washer/dryer. TVs but we opted for the views out the window. Relaxation mixed with adventure. My definition of up north. We all gave the place 5 stars. Thank you John for sharing your wonderful cabin.

Had a great long weekend getaway at John’s cabin. This is a guest cabin on shared property that John stays at so he was there to let us in, walk through the cabin and check in process and to answer any question we had throughout the stay. The cabin is right on the water which is a rare find and makes for great views! Very comfortable. Highly recommend

My husband and I stayed here with my parents for 3 nights at the end of September. We were very excited to book this cabin based on the description provided and we were not disappointed. It was exactly as described and the view from the living room and deck were absolutely beautiful. It is a lovely, peaceful cabin perfectly located on a mirror-like lake. The cabin was clean, spacious, well-kept, and comfortable and also a perfect combination of modern and “outdoorsy” feel. It had all the amenities that make you feel at home (kitchen appliances, internet, tv, hair dryer, washer/dryer, etc.). One of the reasons why we picked this cabin was because we thought it would be easy for my parents to navigate in terms of stairs and walking and they had no problem at all. The other reason was for the description of the view and it really does have a picture-perfect view from the family room and the spacious deck. We appreciated the extra touches, like the charming lake décor, comfortable furniture, three season room, extra large wooden table that we could all sit at, and the fire pit with Adirondack chairs – all nice extras that make a vacation that much more enjoyable. Most importantly, the owner, John, was super nice and friendly and made us feel comfortable and welcome. He contacted me immediately upon booking and was attentive and available the entire time and quickly responded to questions I had before arrival. We recommend this rental based on our superb experience and we hope to return next year!

Wonderful and peaceful property. The view of the lake day or night was beautiful. The owner greeted us and was very nice.

Bass Lake is in a perfect spot just outside Hayward. The property is excellent and has everything you need to enjoy a week at the lake. Access to the pontoon and lake makes it extra fun. The owners are quite responsive, helpful if there are any needs leading up to and during your stay. 5 star family vacation!

The property is in a truly lovely lakeside spot. The house has all the modern conveniences, but also has a genuinely rustic Northwoods feel to it. While the setting is that of a lakeside retreat, it is also relatively close to Hayward, shopping, good restaurants, etc. And the owner, John, was extremely helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would hope to return with more members of our family.

Great lake, wonderful views, nice pontoon for daily lake tours and perfect proximity to the Hayward area.

We had a wonderful time on lake windigo. The cabin was very rustic and the setting was ideal. We rented the pontoon and spent much time exploring the lake, swimming off the boat and fishing. Caught lots of sunnies and some large bass. Thanks, John, for making our stay a success.

Our family had a wonderful stay at the cabin in late June. The location is perfect - close to town/amenities, tranquil/quiet lake, and great sandy shoreline. The house was well equipped with 2 kayaks and SUP boards. i highly recommend renting the pontoon boat as well. great way to explore the lake and find those whopper bass!

It's a great space on a lovely lake. There are lots of places to gather in the cabin and to spread out. The lake is beautiful.

My family and I rented this cabin over Thanksgiving weekend for a "quarantine Thanksgiving" with just the 4 of us. The cabin provided us a much-needed cozy getaway. We hiked on a beautiful trail nearby, played board games, and watched movies. The kitchen was well-equipped for making all of our meals. We had plenty of room to spread out but spent most of our time in the comfy living room overlooking the lake. We enjoyed some gorgeous sunsets! I'm sure it's even more wonderful in the warmer months. John was fantastic and communicated with us before arrival. He went out of his way to make sure the cabin was ready for us. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!

We had a wonderful time. Thank you to John for the wonderful hospitality and making our stay exceptional. We really enjoyed staying at your cabin.

We were so pleased to have lucked upon this property when our California trip was cancelled due to fires and Covid.It is a remarkable cottage decorated in a classic “Up North Cottage” style. The views of the lake are incredible! We rented the pontoon from John, the owner as well for cruising around the 500 acre lake.John is friendly and knowledgeable. He made us feel like friends throughout our stay. Everything was easy. We relaxed and had fun. We couldn’t ask for more!

Ask to rent the pontoon boat. It is fun to see the entire lake. The host is a great communicator.

Gorgeous views and property. Located just far enough of the beaten path, but convenient to Hayward. The cabin was very relaxing and comfortable, and the host was very accommodating. Would definitely stay again!

My family and I had the privilege to spend a week at this "honey hole" of a cabin and the past reviews were spot-on. Every aspect of the property exceeded our expectations. Our stay was extremely relaxing and yet it seemed like we were always doing something. The cabin was clean, spacious and very close to town. We are already looking into booking it again next summer!
