This newer, air-conditioned vacation home features a 100% barrier free, open layout all on one level with DSL/Wireless Internet access. The home has an extra large, fully stocked kitchen, two bathrooms, one wheelchair accessible that includes a roll-in shower. The property is level all the way to the lake.

With over 3,000 acres, Lake Namakagon has plenty of room to explore its many bays and islands as well as the headwaters of the Namakagon River. It is a good all-around fishing lake and one of only three lakes in Wisconsin managed as a Class-A trophy Muskie lake. Anglers regularly pull 40 pound fish from the waters. There are also healthy populations of walleye, northern pike, bluegill, crappie, and large and smallmouth bass.
Lake Namakagon is surrounded on all sides by the beautiful, million acre Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest. The forest has miles of trails for hiking, biking, cross country skiing, and snowmobiles. There is also good hunting for white tailed deer, black bear, ruffled grouse and water fowl. The Namakagon River, part of the 252-mile St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, is protected for wilderness and recreation. It is a wonderful place to explore by canoe or kayak with your own equipment or through one of several outfitters.
The town of Cable is 10 minutes away and is very small and quaint. There are several accessible restaurants, retail shops, museums, a grocery store, and nearby resorts with fine dining. One of our favorites is the Rookery Pub but there are several others with various levels of accessibility. The Sawmill Saloon/Mooselips Java is also very accessible. It is halfway between Hayward and Cable in Seeley and offers live music. Hayward is only 30 minutes away and offers a variety of more activities including a bigger retail district, fast food, family, and fine dining, grocery and liquor stores, a winery, museums, movie, local live theatre, and full service medical facilities. There are several casinos in the area run by the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Ojibwe offering dining and entertainment. Hayward has always been a popular vacation destination for Chicago residents including its most famous, gangster Al Capone, who had a secluded hideout on one of the area lakes during the 1920’s.
Copper Falls State Park is about an hour away in Mellen, WI and has an adaptive hiking trail to a beautiful waterfall. It has two accessible rustic cabins and is breathtaking year-round, but especially in the fall. The scenic town of Bayfield, WI and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore are a little over an hour away on beautiful Lake Superior. Accessible activities in Bayfield include Ranger-led ferry rides to historic lighthouses, apple orchards and festivals, and live music at the Big Top Chautauqua, which brings in national bluegrass and folk venues from Willy Nelson to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
The Madeline Island Ferry makes hourly departures to the tiny, scenic town of Lapointe, WI, which has a nice selection of quaint shops, galleries and restaurants, and a state park with a beautiful, sandy beach. Cars and wheelchairs are allowed on the Ferry. You can stop at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center on your way to Bayfield for an hour or afternoon. The beautiful twin port cities of Duluth, MN and Superior, WI are also about 1 1/4 hours away. Duluth’s harbor features a paved lake walk with nearby shopping, restaurants, beaches, entertainment, museums, and historic mansions.
Scenic Skyline Drive in Duluth, MN is above the city and offers outstanding views of Lake Superior. There are numerous state parks and waterfalls along the North Shore of Lake Superior, but you will need more time for that. Plan a day trip/picnic to Gooseberry Falls or Splitrock Lighthouse State Park in Minnesota. Both have accessible visitor centers overlooking Lake Superior. The Gitchi Gami State Trail follows the north shore of Lake Superior and can be used for biking and handcycling and other wheeled recreational activities. When completed, it will be 86-miles long.

We are wondering if there is any available time open for this totally handicap accessible cabin in wi
And if a pontoon is available.
What would be the price for one or two weeks?
Thank you so much, it's perfect and thanks for having a cabin so accessible
Both bathrooms pictured are not "handicapped accessible" at all.
There was someone in a wheelchair living there and it worked for him. I agree that these bathrooms could be WAY more accessible, and would not work for me personally, but we all different abilities. The purpose of the pics is to show you the real situation so you can prepare how you need or decided on another property.
Dorothy: Please clean your cookies and refresh the website. There were renovations and bathrooms are much more accessible. New photos too.
I was wondering if the week of Sept 5 is open.
