Welcome to our family cabin! “Castle Point” is a rustic 2 bedroom cabin located directly on the Chain O’Lakes. It sits on a 1 acre wooded lot overlooking Beasley Lake with a large private dock (bring your boat) and fire pit. Beasley is part of the main chain and also provides quick access to the upper chain via Beasley Creek. The lake is deep and clear of vegetation off the dock for great swimming. We provide two kayaks and two canoes as well as firewood. The cabin is a short drive to restaurants, boat rentals and shopping.
A few things to consider before booking:
- Guests must bring their own bath and beach towels. All bed sheets, blankets, pillows are provided. Hand towels are also provided.
- The property is best suitable for no more than 6 adults. Larger family groups (adult/kid mix) up to 8 are welcome.
- No parties, events or large group gatherings.
- If your group is more than 4 people please be aware you will need to utilize the screened-in sleeping porch. You are essentially sleeping outside. All bedding for the porch is provided but guests make up their own beds on the porch upon arrival.

ABOUT: Castle Point is a rustic cabin/cottage located directly on the Chain O’ Lakes. It was built over 100 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. We provide a vintage Northwoods experience. The cabin is old and rustic but with tons of character and charm and is very well loved. We do our best to provide a clean and comfortable space with various updates and some modern amenities. *If you are looking for a fully updated space or hotel experience this may not be the place for you.* Also please note that there are numerous steps leading down to the lake (see photos).

BED LINENS/TOWELS: We provide all sheets/blankets and pillows for the beds. We do NOT provide towels except for hand towels in the kitchen and bathroom. You must bring your own bath and beach towels.
BEDROOMS/SLEEPING PORCH: There are 2 bedrooms–one with a queen bed and the other with 2 twin beds. Additionally, there are 4 twin beds on a screened-in sleeping porch. There is a ceiling fan and floor fans for use on the porch. Fleece blankets are also provided for each porch bed. *The sleeping porch is screens only. You are essentially OUTSIDE.*
AC/HEAT: The bedrooms and living room have air conditioning and heat. Each room has it’s own mini-split wall unit or window unit, no central air or heat. The cabin can be heated but please keep in mind if you are staying early or late in the season during chilly weather you will need to heat each room individually. Space heaters are provided for the bathroom and kitchen. The gas fireplace can also produce heat but it is not guaranteed to be operable. The cabin is not available to rent during the winter/freezing weather.
WELL WATER: The cabin is on well water that is tested annually by the county health department and is safe to drink.
POWER OUTAGES: The well pump relies on electricity to pump water so in the unlikely event of a power outage there will be no water. We will issue a refund or partial refund on a case by case basis if the cabin is not habitable due to an extended power outage. (In 20+ years of summer rentals power outages have been rare but just want to disclose the possibility).
THE LAKES/SURROUNDING AREA: Beasley Lake is a peaceful no-wake lake connected by a short channel to Long Lake and the rest of the Chain. The shoreline of Beasley is natural so there is no beach or hard sandy bottom but the water at the end of the dock is deep and free of vegetation for great swimming. There is a ladder for easy in and out of the water. Larger “wake lakes” are adjacent to Beasley for boating, waterskiing and tubing. The Upper Chain is also easily accessible by nearby Beasley Creek for kayaking and canoeing in a tranquil state park setting. We provide two kayaks and two canoes. Beasley Creek is a great shallow spot for kids to play. Tom Thumb mini golf is two doors down and Hartman Creek State Park is within walking/biking distance. Boat launches and rentals, restaurants and shopping are also nearby.
