Beautiful property
My wife and I chose this property for a weekend getaway in spring. The cabin was tucked away, just off the main road to Hayward, secluded but easy to find. During our stay we had morning coffee on the screened in porch, reading and enjoying the views on the outdoor deck, and also spent time on the bench on the dock watching the visiting swans (we saw 22 one day!). The host was friendly and responsive, the property clean and well-maintained, we highly recommend if you are looking to relax and unwind.

The most complete cabin we’ve ever stayed in.
This is a great place to stay for a getaway to unwind, relax and enjoy a quiet wooded setting. It’s not a place to swim or fish,there are many of those places close by, but it’s a great place to take in the beauty of the north woods while sitting on a bench on the pier or taking a quiet canoe ride. We were there the end of June. The pond/spring/back water was coming alive. The tadpoles too numerous to count, several small families of ducks landing for a rest and the local turtle very busy digging holes to lay her eggs in the sandy gravel of the driveway.

The cabin is quaint, warm and charming. The decor greets you with a smile as you walk in, but the amenities make your stay comfortable and convenient. The quality of kitchen ware is top notch. My pots and pans at home should be so nice. There was nothing we wish was there that wasn't, and the communication with our host was exemplary. Thank you for a weekend of tranquility and rejuvenation. We were very pleased with our stay.

Five star stay! Location is just minutes to all the fantastic trails. Had a such a wonderful time at this cozy cabin. The hosts do such a great job in the upkeep and care of the property. It was very clean and comfortable. There were even games, puzzles and books which I thought was a nice touch. We are looking forward to another stay here again, this time to enjoy some warm weather activities.

Winter Ski Weekend
We had a great time staying at the cabin for a long weekend skiing on the Birkie trails. It was so convenient to get to OO Trailhead and Birkie Ridge. The cabin was well stocked with kitchen essentials and there were lots of extra blankets available. The cabin stayed plenty warm despite frigid conditions for a couple of nights. The gas fireplace/stove provides most of the heat for the main living space. The kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom have separately controlled baseboard heaters, and there is also a space heater available. Would definitely stay here again for a family getaway!

Cozy cabin, close to CAMBA trails, loaded with pesticides though!!!
Cozy home in a quiet location close to the CAMBA trail system. Very clean and organized. Only drawback was the surprise early 8:30am pesticide whole house spray. We had no notice before getting blasted, and I was very uncomfortable with it. My son and I had no chance to leave prior, and the owners were unapologetic. Very poor communication was disappointing. Otherwise was great.

Hi Mandy, As I previously communicated with you, we did not know that the company was coming when they did. It was a routine treatment for asian beetles. If we had known the time, we would definitely have let you know. It was a 10” treatment on the outside of the cabin. As we previously said, we are very concerned about pesticides because the water in the lake is pristine. The chemical used was a repellant, not a pesticide, that the beetles don’t like so they stay away. We are sorry that you were disturbed and surprised but we were unaware that they were coming on that day. Le

For our 30th anniversary, my husband and I stayed at this very comfortable, attractive cabin. We enjoyed relaxing down on the pier, reading on the porch, and grilling out when we weren't exploring the many beautiful waterfalls within easy drives.

Beautiful location, cozy cabin
We were in the area for a weekend of ski racing at the Birkie Trailhead, and this cabin was so perfect for our family of three. Super clean, very very cozy. It was dark when we arrived, and we woke in the morning to the most beautiful views of the lake and fresh snowfall. Just lovely! The photos don’t do it justice; it has a quintessential north woods cabin vibe and gorgeous views all around. The kitchen is well stocked, including olive oil and loads of spices. Quick access to the Birkie trail at OO and the Trailhead. Le was very responsive with questions. We didn’t want to leave!

Well-stocked cabin, great hosts
Le and Terry were *incredibly* gracious hosts! The cabin is stocked with anything you'd need for your stay--I wanted to cook all of my meals at the cabin, and had everything I needed. There were thoughtful touches throughout the whole cabin! For pandemic planning/distancing purposes, wanted to let others know the owners (currently) live next door, and the next nearest neighbors are along the south side of the cabin by the dock. There's strong cell signal, and the owners are testing cellular internet for their guests, if that's important to you. The trumpet swans were so fun to watch, and I enjoyed the screened porch. This is a gem of a cabin, and the hosts are wonderful folks!

This cabin has all of the north woods feel on a gorgeous small lake. It is newly remodeled and clean, which are high priority items for my family!

The screened in porch was a great place to have coffee in the morning and get outside while avoiding any mosquitoes.
