Some homes at Canoe Bay Village sit on the lakeshore. This one sits where hardly anyone thinks to look. CUSTOM LAKEFRONT — Lot 19 is a brand-new Escape home on an end-cap lot above Lost Lake, a small, quiet lake that most visitors to this corner of northwest Wisconsin never know is there. Behind it is a protected nature preserve that will never be developed, which makes this one of the most private sites in the village.
It isn’t a copy of the other Shoreline homes, either. Escape gave Lot 19 a new floor plan that turns an enlarged king bedroom to face the water, plus floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room, French doors, oak floors and maple trim. It’s listed at $189,240, fully furnished, and it’s currently the lowest-priced home for sale in the village. If it looks familiar, that’s because this same home was listed earlier this year; it’s now back on the market.
See Canoe Bay Village in person this fall: Escape is hosting Open House Weekends on the last weekend of October and the second weekend of November, with two nights of lodging, all meals, and tours of the homes still for sale. Here’s what’s included and how to reserve.
A Hidden Lake and a Preserve Next Door
Lost Lake is the reason this lot is special. Canoe Bay Village is built around a handful of small northwoods lakes next to the Canoe Bay resort near Rice Lake, and Lost Lake is the quiet one, ringed by trees with lily pads along the edges. Lot 19 is an end-cap site, so neighbors are on one side only, and the preserve behind it means the view out the back windows stays woods for good. If privacy is the thing you’re paying for in a lake home, a permanent green buffer is worth more than another few feet of shoreline.
An Oversized Screened Porch
The porch is oversized, and it’s positioned to look out over the lake and the forest at once. Cedar on the ceiling and walls ties it to the exterior siding, and the tall screens are framed in heavy timber so the view reads like a series of big windows rather than a mesh box. In a northern Wisconsin summer, this is where you’ll eat, read and nap, and the bugs stay outside.
A Long, Bright Great Room
Step through the glass French doors and the whole living space opens up in one line: sofa, coffee table, dining spot and kitchen, under a tray ceiling with a fan and recessed lights. The long wall is mostly glass, floor to near-ceiling, so you get the trees on one side and the porch at the end. Oak floors and maple trim keep it warm instead of stark, and a ductless high-efficiency A/C unit handles the summer heat.
Look back toward the porch and you see the other end of the room: the French doors to the porch, an electric fireplace set into the wall, and a Smart TV mounted above it. It’s a simple setup, but it means the same room works on a July afternoon with the doors thrown open and on a snowy January night with the fireplace on. The village is open year-round, and the high R-value spray foam insulation is there for exactly that.
A Window-Wall Dining Nook
The dining table sits in a corner where two big windows meet, so meals come with a forest view. Open maple shelves above the counter divider give you a place for dishes and books without adding upper cabinets that would block the light. It’s a good example of how Escape keeps a narrow home from feeling narrow: put the glass where you sit, and keep the storage low or open.
An All-Electric Kitchen
The kitchen runs along one wall with maple shaker cabinets, light quartz counters, an undermount sink with a tall faucet, and an induction cooktop. A tall stainless fridge and a built-in microwave fill out the end of the run, with a window over the sink. Going all-electric means no propane tanks to refill, and induction cooks fast without heating up a small room. USB outlets are built in throughout the home.
The King Bedroom Faces the Water
This is the big change in the new floor plan. Instead of tucking the bed against an interior wall, Escape enlarged the bedroom and turned the king bed toward the lake. A pale maple headboard wall with a slatted detail anchors the bed, small floating nightstands sit on either side, and clerestory windows let light in up high while keeping privacy.
Across from the bed, a large picture window looks straight out into the trees and toward the water, framed by floor-to-ceiling maple closet cabinets on both sides. You get serious wardrobe storage without giving up the view, which is usually the trade-off in a home this size.
A Spacious Bath With a Walk-In Tile Shower
The bathroom has a long quartz vanity with maple drawers, and a front-loading washer/dryer combo tucked right under the counter, so laundry doesn’t need its own closet. The toilet sits at the end beside the vanity, and there’s a frosted window for daylight.
The walk-in shower is the real upgrade: large stone-look tile from floor to ceiling, a glass door and a built-in niche. It’s the kind of shower you’d expect in a full-size home, not the fiberglass insert that comes in a lot of tiny houses and park models.

What Makes This Home Special
- The site can’t change. A preserve behind the lot means no future neighbor will block the view or the quiet.
- The bed faces the view. Most small homes put the bedroom where it fits; this plan put it where the lake is.
- Storage without blocking light. Tall closets flank the windows instead of covering them, and the shelves in the living area are open.
- Built for four seasons. Spray foam, a fireplace and A/C mean this isn’t a summer-only cabin.
