Rustic Clam is a comfortable 3 bedroom, 1 bath with shower/tub, log vacation cabin located on the wooded shores of Lower Clam Lake. Enjoy the magnificent Northwoods setting in the heart of the Chequamegon National Forest – the West Fork of the Chippewa River flows out of Lower Clam Lake at this location over a logging era rock dam. The cozy deck and large yard with fire pit, grill, twinkle lights, patio furniture, benches for fire pit and picnic table overlook the lake. We recently put in a brand new chain link fence in the back yard as well as new dock and new living room furniture...all in 2022. We have also made several upgrades since purchasing the cabin in 2018, also including new beds in the lower level, futon and brand new flooring throughout and appliances.
There is a private dock and row boat as well as a newer pedal boat included with the cabin rental. You can access the launch for your boat on the side of the property which goes down to the back back and our own private new dock. The property also includes a swing set for children to play.
The property at Rustic Clam is very quiet and has a footbridge that leads to another property. This footbridge is over the mouth of the Chippewa River and offers a tranquil sound of water flowing which you can hear from the cabin and if you have the window opened in the back bedroom, you will fall asleep to this peaceful sound. We are also located on a small back bay which opens up to Lower Clam Lake. There is a small sandy/gravel area next to the dock which is good for kids and allows for wading in the water and while we do not swim in the lake for fear of fish...lol, several of our guests have thrown out floaties and grabbed a cold one in the back bay. I've also seen people out in the main lake swimming from time to time. It is a quiet lake so you will not have much water traffic.
This red pine log cabin contains a living room, fully equipped kitchen, full bathroom, 2 main floor bedrooms with a one queen bed and one full size bed, a loft bedroom with 2 twin beds and futon which sleeps 2. The living room is furnished with a “smart” tv as well as a retro wood burning fireplace. There are also many games, magazines and books available. The kitchen has a microwave, gas stove, full size refrigerator as well as fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, crock pot, toaster, and just about anything else you need.
We do provide linens but do not provide towels so please be sure to bring your own.
Lower Clam Lake offers good fishing for walleye, musky, crappie and bluegills as well as generally quiet waters for other recreational activities. Clam Lake is conveniently located in the heart of the Chequamegon Forest and offers access to snowmobile, ATV and ski trails as well as many hiking and biking trails. There are numerous lakes and amazing fall colors and variety of wildlife viewing opportunities. Clam Lake is also known as the Elk Capital of Wisconsin and more often than not you will be able to see these majestic animals.
The town of Clam Lake is home to a few bars and restaurants as well as a convenience store / gas station and the surrounding area has some amazing restaurants, bars and good old fashion Wisconsin supper clubs.
We are a pet friendly cabin for well behaved dogs. We recently added a chain link fence out back to keep you fur kids and small children safe. Please be responsible and pick up after your pet as well as keep on a leash when not in the fenced area. The forest is a big place and we’d hate to see your fur baby get lost. We also want to be respectful to neighboring cabins and homes.
