Spacious lakeside cabin in the heart of the Northwoods

Whether you enjoy waking up to the chirping of birds in the middle of the forest, spending an entire day fishing, or hitting the slopes at the nearby Ski Brule—home to the “Best in the Midwest” downhill skiing—Homestead is the place to be! This lakefront cottage features beautiful views from both of its spacious decks—one upper, one lower—facing serene Stanley Lake.

The cottage includes four bedrooms and two full baths, along with a bonus room featuring a flat-screen satellite TV with a DVD player, and a large open-concept great room and kitchen. A freestanding gas Franklin stove adds warmth and charm to cool Northwoods evenings. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher and garbage disposal, while the master bath includes a washer and dryer for added convenience.

The spacious master bedroom has a king-size bed, two of the other bedrooms have queen beds, and the fourth bedroom offers a set of twin beds. Outside, you'll find a fire ring overlooking the lake and a BBQ grill on the upper deck. The sunsets over Stanley Lake are breathtaking—perfect to enjoy from a cozy deck chair.

Homestead is located within the Lac O'Seasons complex, where you'll have access to a sandy beach and your own private dock. Two kayaks are available for your use.

Come unwind, relax, and make memories that will last a lifetime!

We wanted to rent a cabin close to Ski Brule and found this gem. We were less than 10 minutes away which is nice for all the items we forgot with 3 children. It was during the artic blast and the house was very warm:)

Wonderful Week of Memories

We had another phenomenal week at the Homestead:) This property is always spotless and homey:) Time seems to stand still in the UP and nothing changes about it:) The weather was great except for one day. The memories we made as a Family we will cherish forever. Our kids, our In laws and grandkids have found their favorite Vacation spot! We can’t wait to return! Tom is a fabulous host. The only negative is the Clubhouse. We all wish it were open! The pool would draw many more people back. If I win the lottery I’m going to save it:)

Lac O Seasons Annual Vacation

40+ years staying at Lac O Seasons for the Brauns/Gouldings and it’s always a wonderful week. Staying at the Homestead is just lovely! The accommodations are perfect for our group, a full kitchen, two full bathrooms and lots of sleeping quarters. Plenty of room for activities and of course, a beautiful view of Stanley Lake. The loons sing us to sleep every night and the cool evenings are a perfect break from hot summers back home. Thank you for a glorious summer retreat. We will see you next year!

June Visit

I’ve stayed at these cabins regularly growing up. I was pleasantly surprised by how the new owner updated the property. The cabin was clean and welcoming. And the space was perfect as a main gathering area for the larger family. I had a little bit of trouble finding the right cabin because they all have the same address. I also had some trouble with the keypad lock but I think this was my fault. The great thing was that the owner answered my calls right away and was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

Just Perfect!

We were overjoyed with our accommodations. Room to gather yet have personal space. Kids enjoyed the checkers (but one black piece was missing). The host, Tom, was very helpful and made us feel very welcome despite very short booking notice on our part. We are hoping to come back again.

Our family has been staying at Lac O Seasons for 40+ years. We enjoyed our stay at the Homestead very much. The rooms are clean and comfortable with lots of room.

Great family getaway!

Absolutely stunning cottage! We stayed with a family of 6 and there was plenty of space for all of us (and more!). Nice warm, clean house in a peaceful area. The kids really enjoyed the lake access and campfire. The host went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. Will be back when the skiing season kicks in!
