McClaine Lake is a smaller 53 acre lake which is perfect for swimming, kayaking, and cruising around but it's also connected to the Tiger Cat Flowage which is a 819 acre fully recreational lake and the Tiger Cat is great for skiing and motor sports as well as fishing. The navigable channel at the end of McClain Lake takes you to Upper Twin Lake, which is classified as class A musky waters, and is abundant with Musky, Perch, and Bluegill. The fishing is also pretty good right off our dock for bass and pan fish! This rental includes two large docks and a boat lift that guests can use while enjoying a relaxing time at our cabin (See the picture of the dock). The lake also has a resort nearby that you can boat to for food and drinks as well as to get gas for your boat.
The home itself is situated on a large flat lot with a stone path to the lake making for an easy walk down to the lake. There is also a large flagstone fire pit area with plenty of outdoor seating to sit back and enjoy star gazing at night or lake views during the day. There is even a screened in porch on the lower level with a dining table to eat dinner or play games while still enjoying the beautiful outdoors.
When your done exploring the lake, there is a lot to do in the area from our great local dining options to boutique shops, and activities like wineries, lumberjack shows and even go cart tracks.

Dog Friendly but.... A Note About Dogs:
We LOVE dogs and we want our guests to enjoy their vacation with the whole family, including the furry members :-) Up to two dogs are allowed at this cabin with prior approval- an additional fee applies. That being said, please be mindful of whether our home is appropriate for your dog(s).
We may not be the vacation rental for you if your dog(s):
*Consider barking to be a favorite pastime;
*Chew things other than bones;
*Like to visit the neighbors unsupervised (we do not have a fenced-in yard), and/or;
*Use the house as a bathroom.
We ask that your dogs be supervised when at the cabin and crated when you are not (One large crate is available at the cabin). Also, it should not need to be said (but unfortunately needs to be, as we have had guests leave enough surprises for us), but PLEASE pick up after your dogs!! It is NOT the responsibility of our cleaners. Sorry, no cats, please.
