The scene might be of another world. Ghost Creek empties into Ghost Lake after meandering for miles through the national forest. The cool creek water brushed by warm air currents creates a dense vapor the hovers low over the lake. No lake in Northern Wisconsin seems more appropriately named than Ghost Lake, hidden in groves of virgin evergreens, birch, cedar, and maples about 23 miles east of Hayward, WI in the heart of the Chequamegon National Forest. The forest extends to the water’s edge and this beautiful undeveloped body of water cannot be excelled. Local legend has it that Ghost Lake was named by two trappers who built a camp some time in the deep hickory-smoked past. Just after sunset they heard loons calling and determined there were ghosts out on the lake. So it has always been named Ghost Lake. In 1935 a resort was built on the very best spot to enjoy all that Ghost Lake had to offer. In 1954 the original lodge burned to the ground. Noted architect, Paul Thomas, was contracted to design a new lodge. Rising from the ashes a new state of the art Lodge was constructed with strong influences of the Frank Lloyd Wright style in the form of glass, wood, and stone. Today this stunning Lodge sits amongst towering virgin hemlocks with all the grandeur of the past blended into today’s upscale amenities. Surrounded by 40 acres of your own piece of the Chequamegon National Forest on 2100 feet of spectacular Ghost Lake shoreline, this private retreat is priceless and available as an ongoing business, family estate or corporate retreat. In addition to the main Lodge building, there are 5 condo log cabins, plus three condo units in the Lodge itself. Most of the cabins have a fieldstone fireplace, 2 or 3 bedrooms, full bath, and large living and kitchen area. All units include a 14’ boat, outdoor grill, color TV, microwave, major appliances and all incidental linens, furnishings, and kitchenware. Set beautifully in its natural environment is a spectacular 2,800 square foot comfortable log owner’s home with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and everything you would expect in a Northwoods residence. Several additional outbuildings are on the grounds for storage and utility purposes. This property is all-inclusive and with everything needed to run a first-class resort or create a corporate or family retreat, including an outdoor heated pool and a tennis court. Currently operated as a seasonal business – spring through fall hunting and there is an option to run a year round establishment, with potential for a restaurant. Hayward is a world-class tourist destination with plenty of family enjoyment to be found in the many activities in the area including World Lumberjack Championships and daily lumberjack shows, riding stables, National Freshwater Hall of Fame, Native American ceremonial dances, National Musky Festival the last week in June, miniature golf, go-karts, biking and hiking trails, and plenty of fine dining establishments. There are also many fine golf courses in the Hayward area (known as the Golf Capital of Wisconsin), some within a few miles of the Lodge. Spending the day at the Lodge relaxing by the heated swimming pool, playing tennis, fishing, or just walking the forest trails can provide a rewarding and relaxing experience. During the winter season there are hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile and cross country ski trails as well as a world class cross country ski event know as the American Birkenbiner. Other attractions within an hour’s drive of the resort include Lake Superior, the Apostle Islands, and many State Parks and waterfalls. See the video below for a complete tour of the grounds.
