Lake Chetac is a 2400 acre lake located in Sawyer County. It has a maximum depth of 26 feet. The public boat landing is less than a mile away. Known for superior fishing - includes Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. You can fish right from the shore or ice fish in the winter.

Once the ice is off the lake, in the Spring, we will have 2 docks: 1 on each shore of the peninsula. The public boat landing is less than a mile away by road and you can see it from our shoreline, a few hundred yards away.

Pontoon & boat rental, just across the lake from our home at the Fred Thomas Resort or from Ri-shell’s Echo Bay Resort.

Watersports are #1 on everyone's list. Our lake has room for all water sports: swimming, water-skiing, sailing, pontooning, canoeing, paddleboats, kayaks or wave runners.

Close to recreational trails for ATV/UTV, snowmobiling, biking and hiking. The Tuscobia Trail is the main off road/ATV trail. Running for about 65 miles, it is well marked and easily accessible. In addition, The Ice Age National Scenic Trail, a thousand-mile footpath entirely within Wisconsin is nearby to hike some of the state's most beautiful natural areas. For biking, the Chequamegon National Forest offers endless hours of trails.

Golf is one of our best-kept secrets. The area offers an array of golf courses ranging from Championship to Executive. Tagalong, an 18-hole course patterned after St. Andrews in Scotland is challenging and fun. There are no less than 7 other courses within a short drive. If you enjoy golfing, bring the clubs along.

WINTER: "Bring on the Snow!" is a cheer echoed by all as the last leaf of autumn hits the ground. When the snow flies and our lake freezes over is when the true outdoor adventurer comes alive.

The thrill of snowmobiling can be found on hundreds of miles of local trails that are part of the largest network of snowmobiling trails in the Midwest. County and community clubs ensure a smooth ride by their dedication to grooming, signage and trail maintenance.

​Step into your cross country skis and off you go out our backdoor or across the lake. Looking for picturesque cross country trails, then try Nordic Woods, Beaver Brook, Ice Age Trail, or the famed Birkebeiner Trail.

​If you think fishing is over once the boats are off the lake, think again. Get your tipups, jig poles and ice shanty ready for some real fishing fun.

Visit historic Stout Island: Stout Island has been captivating visitors for nearly 150 years. By landing on these historic shores, you’re joining a long list of adventure-seekers.

Great stay!

A great place to stay in Birchwood with friends and family. The place was clean and had everything that we needed to make us feel at home. The host was friendly, helpful, and accommodating at every point during the booking process. The only issue we came across was the slightly confusing access road...perhaps additional signage would help clarify direction toward the property a bit better. Otherwise, no complaints! Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect northern WI getaway

We loved this place! It was so quiet & private, surrounded by nature. The lake itself was peaceful too, just the occasional fishing boats cruising by. We especially loved taking the kayaks & canoe out around the nearby islands. It was a very special place to get our family together for our annual family reunion.

The perfect getaway

This was our second stay in this lovely home, and it was a fantastic week! The house is well stocked with kitchen items, from a crock pot to coffee maker… we appreciate how well stocked it is. The location on the lake is prime, as you have two docks, and the sunset views are just stunning from the deck. Utilized the kayaks and caught a good amount of Northern right off the point!

Great getaway with Family

The cabin was fantastic! The view was great. The kids loved fishing off the two docks. The dock in the bay worked well for our two boats. All the rooms were setup well. We loved using the Blackstone grill outside, we were able to cook almost all of our meals on it. The lower level was nice with the big TV and games. Everything was clean and ready for our stay. Thank you for sharing your cabin we really enjoyed our stay!
