Now that you've visited our personal website and know our availability, rates, and special offers hopefully you are ready to relax at our upscale 1½ story Ranch style lakehome with Western views and spectacular sunsets over 1304-acre Lost Land Lake; a Class-A musky lake! The view is even better from your private 40’ long dock with bench seat where you’ll likely be visited by bald eagles, loons, ducks, and great blue herons. The backyard gently slopes down to the lake and very few properties on the lake have beach/walk-in access for weed-free swimming with no drop-offs like we do.
Inside is a two-story river rock fireplace and open-floor plan perfect for entertaining, socializing, and special needs. West facing windows and French doors in the gourmet kitchen highlighted by the stainless appliances and large center island that seats four. Dining area features a large table for seating up to ten, a smaller toddler table that seats four little ones, and two booster seats plus one highchair for the smallest guests. There are views of the lake from almost every room! Step out onto the panoramic front screened porch for morning coffees and afternoon/evening cocktails. Take a few more steps to the outside fire pit. It’s not cabin time without evening conversation and S’mores around the bonfire pit- yard chairs, skewers, and firewood are all included!
Sleeping arrangements: Four good size bedrooms- all located on the first floor, so no stairs to climb; three of the bedrooms are furnished with queen beds- two are master En-suite bedrooms, fourth bedroom has two twin beds. There is also an open bedroom loft with two twin beds that overlooks the Great Room (Note-mattresses can be placed side-by-side to create sleeping for four in loft, additional sheets/pillows provided). Two Pack-N-Play cribs are also available.
NOTE: OGE employs a professional cleaning service that thoroughly cleans and sanitizes the home prior to every arriving rental and utilizes a laundry service for the cleaning of all bed linens, but just don't take our word for it, go to our personal website (link below), click on the REVIEWS tab and read some of our 60+ highest rated Five-Star guest reviews including reviews from 2023!
Close to the water! Only 50 feet from 183 feet of sugar sand beach. A private boat launch on premises is available depending on water level and your boat size/trailer type. There is a 14’ V-hull 4-seat Alumacraft boat included in the rental rate. Rent a boat motor, or pontoon boat from Wilson Bay Lodge 5 minutes from house. Bring your favorite grilling food too as gas and charcoal grills are provided.
Being 24 miles East of Hayward, WI when it’s time to take a break from the lake, plan to explore the charming and not too exploited downtown with its' unique shops, the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, or a lumberjack show. Even the drive to town on The Great Scenic Byway (Rt 77) is... scenic and relaxing.
Whether you are an avid fisherman wanting to fish for musky, northern pike, walleye, largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, bluegill, or perch (they're all here!), nature lover, canoe or kayak enthusiast; Our Great Escape will take you back in time. The Chequamegon National Forest surrounds our Northwoods vacation rental and our two lake chain - yes, Lost Land Lake is connected by thoroughfare to 1049-acre Teal Lake! Together, they make up the “Quiet Lakes”. 10 mph speed limit and no motor sports are allowed. Teenagers and little ones will enjoy the fishing on either lake. In fact, they’ll spend hours fishing right from the dock. Slow & easy works well around here if stargazing, swimming, and lounging are part of your vacation plan.
Nearby are one-of-a-kind specialty and boutique shops, several dining clubs (Friday night fish fry), golf courses, horse back riding, and a casino. Since you book directly with me (Rob), I can give you some local tips for walking/biking trails, fishing reports, etc. Having a property manager who knows where to get answers comes in handy when you're looking for a bait shop, boat repair, fresh baked loaf of bread, old time candy store, homemade ice cream, local winery, etc. Our Great Escape is within driving distance of events like Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival, North Country Trail, Fall Fest, Wine Tasting, Musky Fest, weekly Lumberjack shows. And, in case you did not know, this is the “Golf Capital of Wisconsin” so bring your clubs.

In the meantime, here is a sampling of a few of the reviews:
Tim and Patti S.-Date of Stay June, 2018 . This is our second year at our great escape. We love it here. The kids can swim right out the kitchen door. And lots of fish to be caught! Such a special time for our family. In these busy times it's so nice to be able to get everyone together. The house is plenty big enough for all 12 of us and very well supplied. We had a deer walk by the porch and were delighted with a family if ducks every day. We also rented a pontoon. What a nice addition. Highly recommend.
Sue S.-IL-Date of stay August, 2017. This was our third year at Our Great Escape and the three of us (my mother, my husband, and myself) once again had a wonderful time! Mom is 86, and loves the gentle slope of the swimming area, as well as the comfortable yard and home. You're so close to the water it almost feels like being on a ship. There were some colder, rainy days, but we never felt hemmed in. And the place is spotless! It's the best place up north, ever.
Cathy - IL - Date of stay June, 2017. We had stayed elsewhere on this lake before, but it was the first time at Our Great Escape. This has always been our favorite family vacation location and the house did not disappoint. Everyone had so much fun boating, fishing, swimming and watching the eagles fly overhead. This lakehouse is well taken care of and stocked with the necessities to get us started on our vacation. Rob was always quick to respond to questions and very helpful with everything. Beds and furniture were all extremely comfortable. The place was very cozy, but roomy enough for my husband and I along with my son & daughters families. We are all looking forward to returning.
Katherine B. - This was our first year staying at OGE. We stayed the second week in August. I wanted to write a review for anyone wondering if they should stay here, that we had an absolutely wonderful experience and stay. We have rented many homes and this one was by far the cleanest we have ever stayed and that is saying a lot! Jacque and her crew did an excellent job preparing the home for us, especially with everything going on right now if that is a concern for you. Rob was very helpful and always a call away for any questions. You can tell this home is well taken care of and we felt at home from the moment we got there. The open plan was perfect for visiting with our family while cooking. The screened porch was very nice. There is beautiful view of the lake. Can’t say enough how much we enjoyed the home and how comfortable we were. Also, the beach area was so nice to have for swimming. My son caught and released his first Muskie, he was so excited about that! We love the fact that the lakes are quiet lakes, it’s so peaceful and serene. We enjoyed watching the eagles, deer and even saw two baby bear on the way to the house. My daughter also loved going horseback riding not far away if you’re looking for other activities to do. We rented a pontoon from Wilson Bay Lodge and it was a great experience, I would definitely recommend that! We had a wonderful vacation and can’t wait to return!
Cathy & Joe E. - We just returned from our second visit to OGE, and I've reserved it again for next year. The house is big enough to comfortably fit my husband and me along with my son's & daughter's families. The kitchen is well stocked and the whole place is clean and inviting. We love the lake. There is a nice little private beach in front of the house where the kids swim. We bring our kayaks and fishing is always fun. Rob is easy to contact and very helpful if needed.
Valerie Turner - This was our 2nd year at this beautiful lake home with our family. Rob continues to improve yearly with the beautiful screened in porch with new patio furniture a huge kitchen table a smart TV with wifi and movies for the kids. On site laundry and many water toys and outdoor games. Fully stocked kitchen with every pot pan skillet and all imaginable utensils. Firepit with wood two refrigerators and spotless interiors. Very nicely decorated and very private. We enjoyed swimming boating fishing playing in the sand and making wonderful memories to cherish. Look forward to returning to this little piece of heaven!
