Harlequin Haven is your ideal family retreat — a warm, woodsy escape tucked beneath the trees and just a short 5‑minute stroll from the quiet lakeshore. This charming cabin blends comfort with the easygoing spirit of the Northwoods, making it perfect for families, couples, and anyone looking to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, oven/stove, microwave, dishwasher, drip coffee maker with Keurig option, crockpot, blender, and ice maker — everything you need to cook, gather, and enjoy meals together. Dine at the indoor table, the kitchen bar, or head outside to the outdoor dining set and grill for fresh‑air meals.
The cabin offers a convenient layout with a main bathroom featuring a tub/shower combo, toilet, and sink; a shared powder room with a toilet and sink; plus an additional shower located in one of the bedrooms. A washer and dryer are also available in the cabin for your use.

LAKES:
The cabin is nestled in the Northern Highland State Forest with access to both White Birch Lake and Ballard Lake. This chain of lakes offers a gorgeous lake setting for nature lovers and sport fishermen alike. White Birch Lake is a 113-acre lake with a depth of 27 feet. Fish include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye. The lake's water clarity is very clear. Ballard Lake is a 503-acre lake with a depth of 25 feet. The lake's water is moderately clear. Visitors have access to both lakes from a public boat landing with a boat slip near the cabin. PLEASE NOTE: the cabin is not directly on the lake. It is a 5 minute walk to the lake and corresponding boat slip. There is no swimming access. The boat landing is accessed on Ballard Lake. Guests bringing a boat will launch there and then navigate from Ballard, through the channel, and over to White Birch Lake. (Please let us know if you will be bringing a boat on your trip. We have limited boat slip space and need to confirm those details with you before arrival.)

ATV/UTV riders can cover a variety of terrain in the area, from paved roads to dirt routes. Enjoy hiking in the nearby Nicolet National Forest or biking on the WinMan Trails. Check out the "Map It Vilas County Trails App" to navigate all the trail systems for any sport - snowmobiling, ATVing, cross-country skiing, biking, and hiking.
