About this property

Your Ideal Up-North Family Retreat Home

Our spacious home is an easy 2 1/2 hour drive from the Twin Cities. Providing all of the luxuries you expect and all of the lake charm you seek, it features an all-knotty-pine interior, a ground floor primary suite, a cook's kitchen, and a wood-burning fireplace in a great room that overlooks the beautiful Lac Courte Oreilles Gold Coast. Its four bedrooms + spacious loft all face the lake (a 5th bedroom with a bunkbed is reached off of the primary bedroom), and the finished lower level will give the kids a place to hang out, watch TV and play pool. You can watch the sun rise over the lake in the morning and in the afternoon, watch the setting sun's rays dance off of the water.

A 2018 22-foot Bennington pontoon is available for rental to our guests.

Fantastic stay

Lefty's Lodge was absolutely perfect for our stay while visiting the area for the 50th Birkie. The house is huge, but it's the kitchen and living room that were just what we needed. Hope to be back someday. Our thanks to Misha for her hospitality.

We come up to the area every year and have a group of 10-12 aged 6-70 and this has been our favorite cabin! The owners are fabulous to work with and have a great location on a wonderful lake. We already made reservations for next time!

Northwoods Gem

Lodge was full of everything we needed. Lots of space for everyone to spread out and have their own floor. Love that each room had its own full bath. Something for everyone to do whether you enjoy sitting on the deck, napping in the comfy chair or going out on the water. The stairs aren’t for everyone but they are sturdy and new. Dock may need an upgrade soon. Cant beat the beautiful view of the lake!! Overall a great place to stay!!

Another great week at Lefty's Lodge

This was our 2nd cabin week stay at Lefty's Lodge. Twelve of us: three generations ranging in age from 2-64. The house is very comfortable for everyone. Plenty of space indoors to play games, work on puzzles, and watch late night movies. We love the lake! The best swimming right off the dock and not too deep quite a ways out from shore. We also rented their pontoon, which was great for cruising the lake. We've already booked for next year!

Perfect Getaway

Lefty’s Lodge is a beautiful, comfy lake home. Kitchen has all the necessities, beds have good, supportive mattresses. The view of the lake from the house is lovely, gorgeous sunrises. We all said we would stay at this rental property again/anytime. Owners are friendly, helpful and very accommodating.

Lefty’s Lodge… We enjoyed it so much last year. We booked it right away for this year and it was incredible. Lefty’s doesn’t leave anything out…they’ve thought of EVERYTHING a family would need for the most amazing time on the lake.

Lovely home

This house was perfect for our group of four couples but it would also be great with kids. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable in every way. The location is also nice. Private but not too far from Hayward or local restaurants/bars. Don’t hesitate to book this home!

Excellent property with great features

Really enjoyed our time staying at Lefty's - we highly recommend renting the pontoon if the weather is favorable. Misha was a great host and gave a very thorough overview of the property. It's clear that Lefty's is well taken care of and it is very nice to see quality and consideration put into such a nice relaxing property.

About the host

Hosted by Misha

Host profile image
After 25 years of renting cabins on various lakes "up North," we fell in love with the Hayward area and decided it was time to own our own place on a beautiful lakeshore. We purchased this home for our family's use throughout the year, but want to share the joy of being at "the lake" with others, just as other cabin owners have done so with us.

Why they chose this property

We love Lac Courte Oreilles -- it is a clean lake, not too small, not too large. Our property is located on the western end of the lake, easy to get to, and it has an eastern exposure, which means you won't have the afternoon sun bearing down into your living room.

What makes this property unique

Our home has a big kitchen and a large counter space where kids and/or adults can sit and enjoy the lake view (and so can the cook!) through the two-story great room windows. Nothing obstructs the fabulous view, and we are perched just enough above the lake to give you a magnificent panorama. And with plenty of space both inside and out, you'll have privacy, even with lots of people in the house.

We've loved being Vrbo hosts since 2018.
