Photos and Description of the Minong vacation chalet rental

This tasteful, artist-owned, quality Cedar 'Chalet' on the Minong Flowage has a Northwoods theme that fits perfectly with this Canadian wilderness-feeling lake. The interior is warm and inviting and very tastefully decorated.

The stunning vaulted & beamed great room with a floor to ceiling wood burning fireplace opens with a window-filled wall to a large upper level lakeside deck equipped with comfortable patio/lawn furniture and a gas grill. Wildlife prints and paintings by the owner can be seen throughout the home. No matter where you find yourself there are plenty of places to gather with friends and family or just to relax by yourself. Equipped with washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher. 8 miles west of Minong, Wisconsin; 30 miles west of Hayward, Wisconsin.

The Master Bedroom in the loft, has a flat screen TV and a bathroom with shower. A second bedroom with a queen bed is located on the main level. Directly across the hallway there is a third bedroom with bunk beds and a full bath with a fourth bedroom and bathroom on the lower level. Experience book lover bliss in the readers chair and ottoman in the loft overlooking pines and the lake. In the spacious Great Room you can curl up next to the Fieldstone Fireplace to unwind, or play one of the dozens of games that can be found or simply catch a game or favorite show on the flat screen TV. The lower level of the lake home has an additional great room with a large sectional sofa, a 55' projection screen TV and stereo. Perfect for when the kids need their own space. Bring your favorite DVD movies, x-box and CD's or watch a DVD from our collection of over 100 movies to play on the surround sound stereo system.

The attractively landscaped yard features a stone pathway that winds it's way to a patio area and firepit overlooking the lake. We have a 30' aluminum dock on a natural shoreline. We value the beauty of the lake and don't want to contribute to run-off into the lake so we have not altered the shoreline. There is a nice sandy bottomed area with a gradual descending depth for the children to play in or for you to place your chair when the weather is warm. A canoe, 2 kayaks and a paddleboat are included so the whole family may explore the islands and cruise across the lake. A Pontoon is also available for rental. Pogo's restaurant can be reached via water as well as three other resort/bars. You can now reach another 300 acre lake via a channel.

If you need any supplies there is a great General Store located within 3 miles of the Lake Home. This store provides groceries, liquor, wine and beer, dvd rentals, fishing licenses and bait, gas, propane, and a full selection of hardware tools and supplies as well as a post office.

You won't find a more quiet or private place to relax, swim, fish and just have fun. A 1500+ acre lake with many bays and islands and channel access to another 300 acre lake. We are only 5 miles from Black Bear Golf course, an 18 hole, par 72, public course. There are many other golf courses within easy driving distance. You may also enjoy hiking or canoeing/tubing on 2 nearby rivers (Totagatic and Namekagon - the latter being a federally protected wilderness waterway). Perfect for a home-base for biking or golfing and a perfect place to gather with friends for scrap-booking. Daytrips to Hayward, Spooner, Duluth and the Apostle Islands are common diversions. You will be hard pressed to find a finer vacation home in the area. There is a non-smoking policy in the home for this rental.

FREE LONG DISTANCE IN U.S., FREE WI-FI, DIRECT-TV

Why Ken Edmondson chose Minong

The 'whispering' pines. Set in a stand of mature pines, on a beautiful bay, ShangriLodge is the definition of serenity.

What makes this chalet unique

Peaceful yet convenient to many amenities.

Our Excellent Birkie Adventure via Shangri Lodge

5 of 5
Submitted: February 27, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Our stay at Shangri Lodge was everything we were promised and more. The beautiful home was very comfortable and relaxing to stay at before and after doing the American Birkebeiner. The birdfeeders were busy and fun to watch. As an extra touch, we were welcomed with a waiting plate of fresh cookies upon our arrival, which were devoured over our 3 night stay. We would recommend Shangri Lodge to anyone looking for a peaceful time in the woods with all the creature comforts one could ever want. Many thanks to Ken and Claire for having us. We hope to come back some day.

Ladies Retreat

Myself and five other women had an amazing weekend getaway here at the Shangri Lodge, the owners where so nice and helpful with even the smallest details. We enjoyed our time cooking and working on projects of all kinds in this clean and beautiful cabin. Our two favorite things would be the real wood fireplace and the large comfy couch downstairs.

Family Get Together - Perfect Location

Thank you Ken & Claire for allowing us to stay in your vacation home. First, the great communication you provided on your property was much appreciated. You answered all questions and went beyond helping us arrange our stay. Your home is warm, comfortable, and perfect for multiple families. The view of the lake and the yard is amazing. We loved looking at all of your artwork as well. We hope to come back in the future - maybe when it's a bit warmer outside so we can enjoy the canoe and paddle boat! Thank you again.

Owner's Response: Thanks, Debbie! It was a pleasure to have you and your family. You are welcome anytime. By the way, I love what you did with the stools and chairs at the kitchen island. Genius!

We absolutely loved our stay at the lodge. It's really comfortable, and has anything you might need. We did use the boat and had a great day out at the island. My kids had a great time running in the woods, swimming, and catching frogs :). We barbecued on the deck and enjoyed cocktails in the screened in porch. It was just lovely!

We rented Ken's lake home for a weekend and it was everything it was billed to be. What a wonderful place to relax and enjoy family. Plenty of water sports, quiet corners, and comfort. Ken was a great host. I would highly recommend this beautiful home for families vacation or romantic get away. Don't forget to visit the Golden Chipmunk for dinner.

Fabulous Stay!

Thank you Claire and Ken for a wonderful stay at Shangri-Lodge! The first things that struck us upon entering were the beautiful setting, the spaciousness, and the unique decor - everything looks like it is 'meant to be' in this space. It's very tasteful, yet at the same time inviting and family friendly. The view of the lake from the deck is breathtaking, and the tall pines all around the property add to the relaxed feeling and privacy.

The multiple bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect accommodations for our family. We found the space to be very roomy - everyone had their own space, while the common rooms were a perfect spot to gather as a group. Our teenagers appreciated having a space for themselves in the lower level to watch movies and hang out. We had some rousing games of Balderdash and Banana-grams; your supply of games were well used by our group! The full-size kitchen along with a large gas grill made it easy to feed our large group, and the dishwasher was a very welcome amenity for clean up, too. We enjoyed gathering around the firepit area in the evening after a day on the lake.

We had a fabulous time on the lake and were so glad to have the use of the pontoon. We spent the afternoon at Sand Island playing games, swimming and socializing with other lake dwellers. We also took the boat to have dinner at Pogos, which is a great place to have dinner as a family. We love how quiet the lake is, and everyone that we met was so friendly - it's a great community atmosphere.

Dealing with Claire and Ken was a pleasure, and we would highly recommend Shangri-Lodge to any family or group looking for a relaxing vacation spot. The entire property is so well maintained and every detail is attended to. We definitely plan to return!
