“It’s like having your own cabin without having to mow the lawn”

   
Kehoe's Northern Retreat is a cozy resort located in the Northwoods of Wisconsin in the Birchwood Area. Our cottages are all fully furnished; just like your own little cabin on the shores of Big Lake Chetac; close enough to the Hayward Area for its many attractions to be just a short trip away but far enough for the quiet, relaxed atmosphere you need for a pleasant vacation from your busy life.

All four cabins have color cable TV., showers, and all have comfortable beds with bed linens and blankets. New deep, wide aluminum boats.
