Luxury Lakefront Cabin w/Hot Tub, 2 King Beds
Acorn Shores Lake House by Wildwood Escapes
Come experience summer living at its finest-handmade ice cream from West's Hayward Dairy, a campfire overlooking the peaceful McClain lake, or an ATV ride on beautiful trails. Indoors you'll find a wood burning fireplace, full coffee bar, 2 spacious King suites, 4 total bedrooms, and 3 baths. The hot tub is the ideal place to relax and soak in all the vibrant colors. This is the place you've been looking for-come for the ultimate family summer getaway!
*There is a 3 night minimum on summer weekends May-August.
*The bathrooms on the first floor have been newly renovated. The basement bathroom of the lake house has not been renovated, but is functional and a full bathroom.
RUNNERS/MOUNTAIN BIKERS:
Head out the door, down the peaceful lake road, and explore the nearby trails via the Gravel Pit Road trailhead/CAMBA MTN BIKE trail (.5 miles away) which leads to over 300 miles of mountain bike, ATV, and running trails.
FISHING INFO:
The navigable channel at the end of McClain Lake takes you to Upper Twin Lake, which is classified as class A musky waters, and is abundant with Musky, Perch, and Bluegill. Or fish right from our new dock for bass and panfish!
SWIMMING INFO:
While McClain is a great lake for fishing, it's mucky bottom isn't always ideal to those wishing to swim. Because of this, we provide a lily pad for our guests to attach to the end of the dock to enjoy swimming off of/on. Swimming is also great off a pontoon or from an island the next lake over.
BOATING INFO:
The nearest public boat landing is 4 minutes away by car. You are more than welcome to bring your own boat, but please keep in mind that McClain is a no wake lake. For full rec fun, the next lake over (Upper Twin) allows wakes between 11am-5pm every day and is accessible through the navigable channel at the top of McClain. Black Iron Grill is accessible via the lake for a delicious meal right from the boat! For pontoon rentals, we recommend Hayward Power Sports which is 4 minutes away. After your booking, we will email you a discount code for 10% off the rental.
ATV/UTV/SNOWMOBILERS: All town roads are ATV routes unless otherwise marked, however we do ask all guests to drive slowly on our road as many neighbors walk daily. The trailhead can be found at the end of our road. There is room for parking up to 2 trailers at the property, and maneuvering can be done with the use of our round-about.
PARKING/DRIVEWAY: In the summer months, we have parking for 6+ cars. In the winter, we have room for 5. There is one dedicated spot for the EV charger that is shared with the cottage next door. Please note that our driveway is quite steep and difficult to navigate in winter months, we HIGHLY recommend 4WD. Fortunately our property shares a round-a-bout with the next door for maneuvering. Please note that we do not control the neighbors plowing and clearing schedule.
*Please note that this listing is for the Lake House ONLY and is part of the Acorn Shores resort, with some amenities being shared. Shared amenities include the EV charger, parking, canoe and the Lily Pad. The lake house has a private dock, grill, firepit, 2 kayaks and SUP.

Great spacious winter cabin!
We booked this location because it was close to the Birkie trail and had a hot tub! We loved the views to the lake. It very comfortably and easily fit 4 adults and 3 young kids. Kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable, and the 2 living room areas were great to spread out. The 2 bathrooms upstairs were much more updated while the lower bath had some retro basement vibes but very clean and no complaints! We went sledding out the front of the cabin and it was only 10 minutes drive to one of the Birkie trailheads. The hottub was awesome at night after a day of activities and we appreciated all the unused beach towels as well. We would stay here again!

Quiet Weekend Vacation
We had a great time! Quiet area with a few homes close by, but otherwise very private. Great amenities. We paddleboarded and kayaked every day. Plenty of space for a large family to stay, cook meals, enjoy the outdoors.

Great lodge at the lake - perfect for families!
The lodge is very nice and the hosts are always helping to have a great time.
If there was something missing or not working, the hosts replied quickly.
As it is a huge house the time between checkout and checkin must be big enough to let the staff clean up according to the hosts expectation.
The ice maker in the fridge was shut off by the hosts on purpose.
The foosball was broken, but the hosts immediately took care of it.
The amenities with the boats and the shear is great!
We would always stay there again.

Great Find on Short Notice!
Acorn Shores Resort worked out really well for our family of 8. The 4 bedrooms were well appointed and the 3 baths were great. The kitchen was well equipped, and my wife really liked the ample storage for our food.
The main activity on these annual trips is fishing, with floating on the lake being second. We rented a 24 ft pontoon from Hayward Power Sports. The dock could be a little longer and higher to better accommodate a boat of this size. We almost had to be on shore to get the entry gate by the dock. The fishing on both Lake McClaine and Upper Twin produced a wide variety of fish, but no musky or walleye.
Most everyone enjoyed the hot tub multiple times. If we weren't on the water, we typically sat on the porch to enjoy the lake view through the trees.
We saw that this house is a work-in-process with some trim still to be installed. However, it did not detract from our very enjoyable stay. Acorn Shores is on our short list to visit again.

Fill with Amenities
The home was very clean. It had more amenities than any other vacation rental I have stayed in. The kitchen had everything imaginable and the bathrooms were also nicely stocked. The hot tub seemed new and in great condition. The lake is beautiful to look at but it is weedy and mucky (as noted in the listing) so we chose not to swim there. We rented a boat on nearby Round Lake. The host was very accessible and helpful.

Beautiful accommodations with updated bathrooms and kitchen. The hosts are attentive and helpful should you need anything. The lake is perfect for kayaking with little or no motor boat traffic. We had an excellent long weekend with our two boys.

Solid spot with lake access
10 of us stayed at this property for a boys fishing trip. Cabin is in a great location, not too close to town, but close enough that it’s not a big deal to run in. Lake access is great. House layout and beds were great, although it did seem that some areas were still under construction. Not a big deal. Plenty of room to spread out and definitely enough room to sleep 10.
One thing to keep in mind is that the neighboring cottage (part of the same “resort”), is literally right next door, as in maybe 20 feet. If another group is renting the cottage, you’ll have to share the dock, fire pit, and canoes/kayaks with them. We were lucky that the host was staying next door our weekend - if it had been another group that wanted dock/fire pit access, there definitely is not enough room on the dock to tie up two boats.
We also followed the hosts suggestion and rented from Hayward Power Sports. Excellent service and experience.
Fishing tips: we had the best luck on trolling crank baits for northern/bass in the connected lake, with some small hits on casting spinners on the home lake. Worms and jigs were great for sunfish and crappie as well.
This property is accommodating for any type of stay you’d want to have, and the hosts are great with communication. If I’m in the area, I would certainly consider staying here again.

Family vacation
I loved our stay at acorn shores! My family and I vacationed here and everyone enjoyed themselves including our dogs. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing on the lake. We also loved the outdoor fire and s’mores by the lake watching the sun set! The place was great and we were at one with nature. It was like a cabin in the middle of the woods only upgraded! The locals were so kind. You have to go eat at the Tavern! Great food and such kind people. We also enjoyed our pontoon and fishing boat rental with Hayward power sports! Definitely a great experience!
