House rental in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin - Beautiful Newly Constructed Handscribed Log Home / Lodge on Lake - Property 303311

In spite of it's modern conveniences, this home maintains a rustic look, thanks in large part to the hand-peeled logs and meticulous workmanship. It has central heat/air conditioning and plenty of large windows as well as accent lighting. The great room contains a massive natural-stone fireplace, S-shaped log staircase, octagon overlooking both the lake and a smaller pond, ceiling fans, and a 22-foot ceiling. Numerous nooks and crannies, a secluded sunroom, and a 40-foot-long screened porch provide ample opportunities for solitude. This home has numerous tasteful decorations with a hint of the southwest along with a somewhat eclectic assortment of Wisconsin 'treasures.' We have opted to have no television and find, at least for our family, that this promotes games and other 'community' activities. Hardwood floors throughout, along with the log, cedar, and pine walls, butternut bookcases, and ash cabinets provide the warmth and charm that comes from natural wood.

The kitchen is complete with microwave oven, dishwasher, and garbage compactor along with utensils. Each bedroom has two twin beds, which can be combined to provide a king-size bed. Linens and towels are provided. A washer and dryer are available as is an outside shower for those who want to experience a cleansing in nature. In addition to the four bedrooms, there is also the opportunity to utilize a pullout couch/bed in the sunroom and/or the large family room for additional sleeping accommodations. Beyond this, arrangements can be made to use a separate log cabin that sleeps an additional two-four guests. The rolling grassy lawn provides the ideal location for spirited games of croquet or bocce ball, both played, of course, with special rules (more or less made up as you go) to account for the trees, roots, and hill into the lake! A toasty fire in the fire circle (complete with plank benches and marshmallow sticks) overlooking the lake makes a great way to end the day.

The lake is home to large mouth bass, crappies, and bluegills, and a canoe is provided. The nearby Chippewa River provides additional fishing opportunities. The lake is large enough for water skiing and a private dock is available. A nearby public landing makes launching a simple matter. This is a new listing. Amenities:Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, garbage disposal, compactor, ice maker and microwave, linens and towels, fireplace, telephone, great room with octagon, large and numerous windows, ceiling fans and sky lights, huge (40') screened porch, sandy beach, lawn, fire circle, BBQ grill, dock, canoes, and much more. Activities: Swimming, hiking, biking, loafing, water skiing, canoeing, lawn games, sightseeing, exploring, etc. Within a short drive you'll find golf courses, restaurants, movie theaters, shopping, etc. Area: Located approximately 30 miles north of Eau Claire on a small lake.

Golf: Lake is shared with two small cottages. I.e. no resorts on this lake. Surrounding area consists of agricultural lands, rolling hills, hardwood forests and spruce/tamerack bogs. This home overlooks both the lake and a small pond, that is surrounded by floating sphagnum moss mat. Quite picturesque.
