- "Great place to stay. Accomedations are wonderful and the peace and quiet is amazing this time of year (May). I would highly recommend this resort!! It is in a beautiful setting with great lake view and beautiful trees and vegetation." - "Had Alderwood on my hit list for a year or two, but could not get in due to availability. When I saw a cabin open in early June I adjusted normal timeframes and booked. Cabins are as described and were perfect for our needs. Stayed in Bayview and at times it felt we were away from others at the resort, but in reality we were right there (best of both worlds). Cabin was ready and clean upon arrival. Management was attentive when needed, but not on property which is just fine. Had a great time and will return. Only change would be to come later in Summer due to our schedules, but will take what we can get at this beautiful and highly desirable resort."

Welcome to “Mani Bay Chalet”. This excellent Manitowish Waters cabin has been furnished to a great standard. It’s the ideal retreat for a water-bound & adventure-filled stay, located on the Manitowish River between Rest and Stone lakes. We believe it’s the ultimate location to experience the area the way it should be. Get ready to get inspired! Settle in by zoning out with the whole family in a professionally cleaned home while you gaze over “Oxbow Bay.”
Unfiltered fun for everyone!

This property is amazing all year round for a visit to the lakes.

The Manitowish Waters Chain O Lakes is an enjoyable trek for quiet water canoeists and kayakers. From its origin at
High Lake, the river flows for nearly 44 miles before joining with the Bear River to form the North Fork of the Flambeau River. The 20-mile section featured in this guide is nestled in the northwest corner of the 232,000-acre Northern Highlands-American Legion State Forest. Paddlers will find mostly flatwater with occasional riffles as you glide by open marsh and lush, northern lowland forest. A large number of sloughs provide excellent opportunities for exploration
and bird watching. One of the state's more popular canoe camping rivers is the river, with seven overnight camp areas spread out between Circle Lily Creek and the Bear River confluence.

The frequent wide-open spaces of the marshlands immediately surrounding the river make bird watching easy. Warblers, sparrows, finches, thrush, woodpeckers, wood ducks, and hooded mergansers, are just a few of the species that inhabit the riverway in summer. Eagles are also common; you’ll occasionally see one of their massive nests in a tall pine near the river. Beaver and otter are often spotted, and you’ll sometimes see: fisher, white-tailed deer, raccoon, red squirrel, and the occasional black bear. Our “Mani Bay Chalet” includes a sloped pursuit to the water where kids can play.

Manitowish Waters has a ten lake chain with several restaurants on the waters, free water
skiing shows, and concerts on the water.
Loads to do for all tastes, from outdoor adventures for local explorers to total isolation for those
who prefer the homely and the comfy!

- "We made the best for snowmobiling, looks like we missed all the snow! We ended up trailering up to Mercer and rode north from there. Trails were great. The house was really nice n plenty of room with all the amenities needed. Thank you!" - "We had people of all ages and noone at any point was bored! The family rooms are large enough to accommodate quite a few people and there are also plenty of rooms if people want to split up in smaller groups. We had fun sledding and truly enjoyed the views in winter! We're hoping to be able to return in other seasons as well. Wonderful location and very well kept house!

- "Communication was 5 stars and everything was exactly how it was described. Would not hesitate to book this property again. Thanks for a great stay!!" - "We stayed here to ride snowmobiles around the Northwoods. The trail is quite a ways from the house, and we were not sure of where the lake took you nor if it was thick enough. But we did see sleds ride by the house. The house in general was really great. Plenty of room, excellent communication with property owner. It would be a great place all year round to get away from life."

Added bonus being able to bring our dog with us." - "We stayed a couple of days off season in April. Very quiet, had the resort to ourselves. Beautiful view, very nice unit. The ground floor makes it easy to access from parking." - "This place is cozy and comes stocked with everything you could want and more. The views of the lake, the sunset, serenity… all perfect.

Enjoy the Northwoods in our newly remodeled true log cabin. We have thoughtfully combined amenities with family and guests of all ages in mind; from a Queen over Queen bunk bed, hand carved from the trees of Northern Minnesota to a Vermont Castings gas fireplace to warm your loved ones (seasonal)!

You will find everything you need in our oversized kitchen; stainless appliances including a full-sized refrigerator / freezer, induction stove, dishwasher, and microwave. Gather your family and sit at the beautiful kitchen island, with views of the largest lake on the Manitowish chain. Need more seating? A table with chairs / bench seating awaits you, just off the kitchen island. Enjoy a more private meal or drink at our pub height table for two. Regardless of your seating choice, you'll be in the middle of love and laughter in our open concept kitchen / living room area!

The living room boasts a beautiful Northwoods full rock, floor to ceiling hearth / surround. At the center, sits a cast iron Vermont Castings gas fireplace. Enjoy a clean burn, while the fireplace warms your hearts (and everything else).

Each of the first-floor bedrooms have a Queen-sized bed, dresser, large closet, and original artwork from the Northern Wisconsin area. The first-floor full bathroom is situated steps away from both bedrooms. Enjoy the modern look of a tiled bathroom, coupled with rustic overhead logs.

As you head upstairs, you'll see the craftsmanship from generations of local masonries on the back side of the floor to ceiling rock fireplace surround. Upstairs, you'll find an open concept loft which has the feel of a studio. The loft is equipped with a King-sized bed, and views of the 865-acre Island Lake. Stream your favorite show from a 65" Samsung LED TV while lying in bed or seated at the cozy leather couch in front of your bed. A semi-private half-wall allows you to call the shots to those below you...or to simply enjoy your view from "above."

Venture into the master bedroom, where another King-sized bed awaits. With a large closet / dresser, you'll have plenty of room for extra clothing. A second, full bathroom is also steps away. Enjoy the natural sunlight from two skylights, while you get ready for your day.

Take a stroll into the lower level, just off the kitchen and you may not want to come back up. A mammoth Queen over Queen sized bunk bed (handcrafted from Northern Minnesota) rests in the corner of this retreat. A sectional leather couch encompasses the center of the lower level. From either location, you'll be able to enjoy streaming your favorite tv show on a 65" Samsung LED TV. Also in the lower level, is a 3rd full bathroom.

Conveniently located in this area is a stack washer and dryer, and adjacent is a tub sink and a location to hang your wet bathing suits. Don't want to come back upstairs? No problem, simply exit the lower level walk-out door and take in breathtaking views of magnificent Island Lake.

We are happy to announce that we have added a second Vermont Castings gas fireplace to the lower level area (seasonal). We continuously update our photos and captions, so if you are waiting to book, take a new look and you will more than likely see additional amenities.

The lower level is my favorite "getaway" in the cabin. Well, maybe my second favorite. I do love the open concept "loft" area. It is "private," yet socially inviting!

Regardless of how you exit the cabin, you'll want to enjoy the freshly stained wraparound deck. Take in the early morning sunrise, right from the deck. Watch the fishermen cast for trophy musky in our peaceful cove. As your appetite increases, pull up a bar stool at our custom-made tabletop, or simply enjoy your favorite cup of coffee. Turn the corner and enjoy a more private, secluded location on the covered portion of the wraparound deck. Take in the views of multiple species of trees, ground growth, and wildlife, as the area boasts numerous deer, ground critters and yes, an occasional area bear.

Take a stroll down to our private dock system on the lake. Want to bring in a boat? No problem. We offer plenty of docking to tie up your boats. Want to bring in a jet ski? Feel free to raise it on our easy-to-use lift. Want to simply relax on the lake? Have a seat on our large wicker couches (Brown Jordan brand) at the end of the dock system on a 144 square foot platform, while the kids jump in the water on our inflatable platform. From here, you’ll see Loons, Merganser’s, and Otters. You’ll be enticed into exploring one of the many islands on this lake. Feel free to use one of the multiple kayaks (4) or paddle boards (2) that we have. We have over one dozen coast guard approved life jackets, which we do require when you utilize our water equipment, as we want you to be safe. There are paddle board rentals on the chain, but why pay $50 per board per day, when you have ours for FREE with your reservation with us!

We have exterior deck lighting to aid in your evening activities. Whether you want a traditional color, or want to create your own color combination, you’ll be able to do so right from your phone. Be sure to come out at night, gaze at the stars, and take in the calls of the wild.

Whether you are looking to enjoy world class fishing, top notch winter activities, or explore the 4,000-acre Manitowish chain during the summer, look no further. We are situated on a private road, seconds from the snowmobile trails, and right on the shore of Island Lake. Enjoy all of the lakeside restaurants and bars, minutes from our home, either by water or land.

*** Security camera details ***: There is one exterior camera overlooking the driveway.

- "Perfect location for our stay in manitowish waters. No disappointment at all. Clean, fresh, very comfortable beds. Great docks with easy path back to house. Great communication prior to our stay too. Thank you." - "My family and I have been coming to the Northwoods for years and would put this place in the top of the list of homes we've rented. Angela was terrific to communicate with and the house had every amenity you could ask for." - "We came to snowmobile with friends for the weekend and loved the layout of this beautifully decorated house. It also has easy access to snowmobile trails, although if the houses were all full, trailer parking could be a little tight, but we had no problem this weekend. Communication was top notch prior to check in & hosts answered any questions we had very quickly during our stay. The only thing I would caution is, if you have all adults in your group, the twin beds are kid size rather than normal twin size bunks, It's not comfortable for adults, but other than that the house has tons of room and anything you could need for a terrific stay! It was also fun to watch the deer walking through the property. I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to enjoy evenings in the summer on the enclosed patio! We definitely enjoyed our stay! Thank you!!"

- "We felt like we were taking a little bit of a risk booking The Loony Bin for our summer family getaway because there were no previous reviews and all the photos were from the winter ...but we were not disappointed! The house was cozy with plenty of room for us and our 4 kids. The decor was charmingly 90s with appropriate updates and there wasn't anything we were concerned our rambunctious kids would mess up. We used the fire pit several times to roast hot dogs and marshmallows, cooked on the grill, ate on the deck table once. The kids wanted to live on the dock; the blue gill were so plentiful they could catch them with a net and fishing line tied to sticks. We explored Clear Lake with the canoe and spent lots of time reading and playing card games in the three seasons room looking out on the lake and hearing the loons. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing and serving meals and then some. The beds were comfortable, mattresses felt pretty new, and the sheets and towels felt like nice hotel quality. It was great to have a tub to bathe the kids and a shower in the other bathroom for us parents. We made use of the washer and dryer and dishwasher every day. We spent a week and while we made a few day trips, we all enjoyed a few whole days spent relaxing here. There were cupboards of books and games to play and while we did watch a little Netflix, our trip was mostly unplugged and we loved it. The area is very peaceful. Be advised, you'll need insect repellent!"

- "This is such a cute cabin! It's perfect for two people for a long weekend. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a weekend getaway." - "The stay was good. Could use some chairs on the porch and a couple extra blankets! " - "This property worked for our needs. We spent most of our time away but the beds were decent. I was traveling with my adult son so the bathroom being part of the master bedroom area was a little weird. The place was fairly clean outside of needing a deeper cleaning for cobwebs in corners and dirt on sills. This house is very close to the bar that it shares the property with. So you can hear the music sometimes and someone coming out to dump the days bottles at 11pm. Other than that it wasnt an issue. The Wifi is almost unusable. I wondered if this property was sharing wifi with the other house next door. "
