We enjoyed our long Labor Day retreat at Fred & Sue's cabin. The north woods cabin is beautiful and reflects that it was built with love and skill by the owners. It's a true get away!
Great little Cabin in the middle of the Woods. If you are looking for some peace and relaxation, this is the place. We loved the screened porch because the Mosquitoes were really bad when we got there !!! Our 2 dogs were in heaven, seeing & barking at all the different Wildlife.
Fred is a great and generous Host, who will help you with all of your needs & questions.
We really enjoyed our stay.
Thank you for sharing your great cabin.

Cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Great solitude and a breathtaking view from the cabin & dock. Our only regret was not asking the owners for some fishing spots because we didn't catch much. Our fault! Thanks Fred & Sue. Tried to leave the cabin as clean as we found it, hope we didn't let you down! We will be back but next time with a fishing guide.
This was a winter retreat for our 26th anniversary with our 2 dogs. It was really a beautiful experience. The cabin is perfect for small groups ( large room with 3 large beds. The screened in porch and back porch were amazing and I can imagine how beautiful it is in summer and fall. We got snowshoes which was perfect. The flowage is lowered in winter so the side of banks are safe to snowshoe or cross country ski on ( we did both) Each night we marched out to a certain spot where a larger root/ driftwood was exposed with the lowering of the water. It was a great bench to watch the sunset. Deer would come out everywhere⊠the white terrain was magic to our soul. Our dogs were in heaven. Thank you for sharing your craft and lil slice of magic!!!
My husband, dog an I spent New Years at this picturesque cabin. Itâs like what is in the pictures but better. Practically everything in this place is bespoke. Itâs got all the amenities youâll need for a north woods getaway. The space makes you want to cozy up and relax around the fire. Truly a special place.
A note about bringing a pet: no dogs allowed on furniture or beds. If you have a dog who you know wonât follow that rule, be prepared to pack a lot of covers and blankets.
Fred was very responsive to all my questions, especially impressive during the busy holiday season. A suggestion to Fred would be to please confirm with the renter that itâs okay to bring a large dog before the window to get a full refund closes. I was a little panicked when I got the check in email asking to confirm that we were bringing a dog 3 days before the trip. It all worked out in the end, but I think would be helpful to reduce unnecessary stress for the renter.
If youâre on the fence about booking this cabin, Iâm telling you⊠book it. You wonât regret it. My husband and I are already talking about coming back next year.
Very simple place. Owner built the cabin and much of the furniture. Beautiful setting, easy access to trails, nature and walking out the door. Canât count on WiFi, but that turned out to make for a better experience.
We enjoyed relaxing by the lake, having a fire, reading in the hammock on the porch, and dinner on the porch. It was a little bit creepy sleeping at night as our dogs woke us up quite a bit as they must have heard things. I snuck down stairs to turn the light on quick and found rodents scurrying across the floor and counters. So the dogs knew they were there and letting us know there were rodents in the house. I advise to keep food in fridge and cooler to keep the rodents and ants out. Other than that, it was a pleasant place to stay and a great location on the flowage. Perfect weather the weekend we went.
This is the perfect winter getaway. Easy to wind down, read, enjoy the fireplace, and disconnect!! Close to a variety of restaurants at local lodges. We want to come back in the summer and enjoy the amazing screen porch!!
My significant other and I spent a wonderful Christmas weekend at the cabin. Everything was as advertised, including the spectacular views from every vantage point. We highly recommend this place.
Received an email 4-5 days before the trip from the owner asking how many dogs we had (we were bringing 3.) This seemed to cause some discomfort although when I booked I never saw an area where we were supposed to enter the number of dogs. Not sure if Vrbo offers to enter that information and it's entirely possible that I missed the area where you enter number of dogs. Owner was very concerned about dog hair which seems more logical, in that case, to not allow dogs because they all have hair. We were most attracted to the trail offered on the property and found out at that 4-5 days before point that the trail was not available to us. So we had to drive 20 minutes each day to find a place to run the dogs. Again, I could have missed that info at the time of booking but I didn't see it anywhere prior to booking.
Property had nice views, cabin was nice an clean. WiFi connection is unsecured so proceed with caution if you want to use WiFi.
I would say this rental would be great if you were going with no dogs and a couple guys to fish and relax. Owner communicated when needed. I wouldn't choose this property if you were going for hiking and exercise as you will have to drive somewhere that is public property.
Absolutely delightful stay. Property and cabin are excellent and remote, had a blast hiking in the area, star gazing and fishing. Amazing getaway from the crazy of everyday life, but there were several small towns 20-30 minutes away with great food/coffee shops which we also enjoyed checking out. Kitchen was awesome(loved the gas stove) and beds were comfortable! Would love to re-book in the future. Truly a gem!
Secluded peaceful location. Lovely handbuilt home. Bonfires, walks in the woods and do nothing kind of weekend. Just what we wanted. It was our second visit and highly recommend if you want to get away from daily life!
Very private. Interesting handmade-looking construction and furnishings throughout. Well-furnished with cooking essentials. The huge screened porch, lake views, and cozy wood stove were highlights. We had our young kids with us (3 and 7) and had to take care around the steep stairs and a couple potential snag spots. Host provided detailed navigation and stay info to us on our check-in day - that worked for us but getting that info a day or two earlier would have helped.
We built this cabin as a family retreat in 1990. Privacy was our number one priority...we wanted a place to go and relax...a place for high quality family time. We live in Hayward and this cabin continues to be one of our favorite places to get away to!
