The views of the lake from the deck, primary bedroom, and upstairs living area are truly amazing. John is a wonderful host and quickly communicated when needed. Being close to both the Hayward and Stone Lake areas is another perk. The two bathrooms are newly renovated, and the bathtub downstairs was great for our infant. Finally, the cabin is pet-friendly and had plenty of room for our dog to run around and swim in the lake. We would definitely return in the future! ##### Ben B.

We stayed with four adults and a baby and had a wonderful time. The best feature of the place is the great room. Windows on all sides over-looking the lake. It was a wonderful place to hang out with the baby. While the place doesn't have A/C there were plenty of fans and the lake breeze to keep things cool. The beds are super comfy. In fact, all the furniture was very comfortable! The lake is nice and shallow - easy to get in and out, even for old people. John is an excellent host offering us any assistance as needed. Great vacation! ##### Kathy S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mindy z. Aug 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Easiest Lake Vacay EVER! This cabin (and owner) exceeded our expectations. John was very communicative through the entire process. Directions were easy to follow and spot on. I was wondering how it would be with the owner staying next door but John was welcoming, helpful and non-intrusive. He came in because he was having tv trouble and on his way out took it upon himself to grab two bags of recycling we had sitting by the door disposing it for us! When I saw it was missing I thought, "that couldn't have been MY kids taking out trash without being asked!" Nope, it was John😊 The cabin had so many beautiful sitting areas with room for everyone. Even under the deck was a nice little swing for two. The view from the whole cabin was spectacular. The fishing was fantastic right off the dock. The water and floating pad were perfect for the kids and dogs to play. There was a little playhouse in the yard that my grandchildren adored and lots of quality toys for them to play with inside and out. It was clear and shallow enough to let the kids and dogs play for hours. There was lots of wildlife to view on the lake. Listening to the Loons was emotive and beautiful. We took advantage of the pontoon rental and enjoyed every minute. The boat is very roomy with accommodating seating. Our family of 9 would definitely recommend this wonderful cabin with the well stocked kitchen ANYDAY! ##### mindy z. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph Z.

The host was warm, easy to communicate with, and made us feel welcome right away. The cabin itself was wonderful—well stocked with everything we needed and more. We really appreciated the two nice bathrooms, newer appliances, plenty of table space, and comfortable chairs throughout. Each room even had its own oscillating fan, which was a thoughtful touch.The lake is quiet and serene, perfect for relaxing, and there was an array of water fun to enjoy—kayaks, paddleboards, a canoe, and a rowboat. The shallow shoreline was also a big plus for families with children. All in all, it was a peaceful, comfortable stay, and we left with some really special memories of Lake Windigo. ##### Lisa B.

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. ##### ann g.

John’s spacious cabin had the perfect setting on Lake Windigo with great lake views and access. We rented the pontoon for the week, and it was great for both fishing and exploring the lake. The cabin is well maintained and supplied with whatever you’d need, particularly in the kitchen. The WiFi was efficient, should you need it. Highly recommended if you are vacationing in the Hayward, WI area! ##### Maureen and Eugene R.

Sep 12, 2015 #### Family & Friends We had a wonderful time at the Knapek cabin on Windigo Lake. We had a big group of young adults and had plenty of room for them all (some slept in sleeping bags on the floor). The cabin was very clean and so was the lake. We took out the canoe and brought extra kayaks to explore the lake, also went water skiing and fishing. Plenty of things to do and it is just a short distance from Hayward, which made it very convenient. Thanks John & Christine for sharing your cabin. ##### Cathy K. ### 6/10 Okay #### Bruce B.

We had fun anyway. ##### Bruce B.
