The Triangle: An artist’s funky modern A-frame for solo retreats or group stays on Lake Lipsett

Enjoy the magic of this groovy four season A-frame cabin that sits hilltop to Lake Lipsett in Spooner, Wisconsin. Modern with that wink of cabin kitsch inside, this cozy spot can fit 6 people. This spot has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, an open kitchen, wood stove, full lower-level with kitchenette, and a big deck that sits in the trees out back, you may hear the neighbor Eagle singing to you in the morning. Outside to enjoy there's a 6-person sauna, gas grill, fire pit, and plenty of snow shoes for snow-romping. The cabin has a long dock with a sundeck for day-lounging or keeping your own boat at as this lake has public access for all the water shenanigans. This spot is filled with games, craft supplies, movies and art books, we've got you covered on rainy days. Great fishing on-site (popular for ice-fishing) and trails, antiques, and restaurants nearby. A perfect getaway for those solo-adventurers, work-from-homers, or group getaways.

While the water frontage may not be suitable for swimming (due to shallow waters and abundant lilly pads), there are lots of other ways to enjoy Lake Lipsett, including fishing, kayaking, canoeing (both available on-site) or simply taking in the scenery dockside and watch a sunset. Experience a rare, ecologically intact lake. The shoreline of Lake Lipsett hasn’t been denuded of its natural flora, and the lake inhabitants have equally remained intact. Watch sand cranes, loons, and turtles and the occasional eagle enjoy the lake as they’ve always done. We’ve elected to sacrifice a swimming area so as to keep our natural shoreline in favor of biodiversity.
