LAKESIDE LOOKOUT: Experience Stunning Views, Endless Shorline, Family Retreat.

  • Lakeside Lookout: Your Perfect Lakeside Escape

    Nestled on the shores of beautiful Bashaw Lake in Burnett County, Lakeside Lookout offers the ultimate getaway for families, friends, and outdoor enthusiasts. This 170-acre, full-recreational lake is perfect for fishing, swimming, and water sports, with two private docks providing easy access for all your aquatic adventures.

    Bashaw Lake is a haven for anglers, featuring abundant walleye, largemouth bass, northern pike, and panfish. Whether you’re fishing from the docks in the summer or ice fishing in the winter, the opportunities here are nothing short of amazing. The lake’s 16-foot depth and quiet atmosphere make it ideal for a leisurely paddle in the provided canoe, kayaks, or paddleboards, or simply enjoying a refreshing swim.

    Located just down the road from a convenient boat launch, Lakeside Lookout makes it easy to bring your own boat for even more lake fun. The semi-secluded property offers a tranquil retreat, surrounded by nature and frequented by wildlife like ducks, geese, and majestic eagles. Keep an eye out for the eagle’s nest near the water—it’s a true highlight of the area.

    When you’re ready to explore beyond the lake, you’ll find plenty to do just a few miles away. Tee off at a nearby golf course, hike scenic trails, or bike the popular Gandy Dandy Trail. The surrounding quiet towns are perfect for discovering local charm, unique shops, and hidden gems.

    Back at the property, enjoy yard games like cornhole or bocce ball, or head indoors for board games and family fun. End your day gathered around the fire pit, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories under the stars.

    The newly remodeled Lakeside Lookout combines the best of lakefront living with modern comforts and outdoor adventure. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, recreation, or a little bit of both, this cozy retreat offers something special in every season. Come experience the beauty and serenity of Bashaw Lake—it’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again.

3 generations of our family totally enjoyed our long weekend at the Lakeside Lookout. This well-stocked cabin is on a quiet lake, Bashaw Lake in Burnett County, WI, which is less than 2 hours from the Twin Cities. The A/C and ceiling fans were much appreciated during our hot and humid stay. Our granddaughters loved the Sharing Shack, which had lawn games, life jackets, fire sticks and the best of all, a Lily Pad. They spent a lot of their time doing gymnastics on the Lily Pad in the water. They also caught some sunfish right from the dock. The SUPs and kayaks were also used by all. The kitchen had all that we needed and the beds were comfortable. We ended each night playing cribbage, as a family, on their wonderful cribbage board which was also a lake map. All agreed, we need to come back next summer!!

This was our second stay at Lakeside Lookout. The property now has recent renovations that are beautiful, making it even better than our first stay (didn’t think that was possible). Very comfortable, well laid out for our multi-generational family. The setting is serene, lake views are amazing, indoor and outdoor amenities include everything for a great vacation. Great host who cares about offering a top notch property for an excellent guest experience.

Everything we needed and wanted was right there! Great property-caught lots of fish (some right from the dock!) and rented a small fishing boat from Dave at Bashaw Lake Resort for a few days. Beautiful small lake! Great communication-would definitely sray here again!

From start to finish we had pleasant and relaxing stay at this trouble-free VRBO. Check in was smooth and easy with good communication from our host. The home was neat, clean, and very comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped and food preparation was easy. The lake is quiet, even on the weekends. We would stay here again.Thank you, Mr. Wickenhauser!
