This cabin is perfect for those looking for a cozy, no frills, rustic cabin-camping experience in the woods of western Wisconsin.
The historic Log Cabin sits on the banks of the Elk Creek and was built in the 1920s. It features handmade log construction, concrete in-floor heat, a stone gas fireplace, woodstove, and a handmade door. The cabin has one bedroom (queen), a sitting area in the loft (low ceiling), and a pull-out sofa sleeper couch for additional sleeping.

The cabin has a bathroom with a shower, quaint kitchen, one bedroom with a queen (new sealy posturepedic pillow top) size bed, a living room with a sofa sleeper, and enough room for an air bed (bring your own), and a small loft sitting area. It also has a wood heated porch overlooking the creek.

The kitchen includes a sink, oven/stove with four burners, microwave, fridge, griddle, toaster, and coffee maker. Dishes, pots, pans, eating and cooking utensils and a gas grill are provided. Dish soap and dishtowels are also provided, but dishes must be handwashed by our guests. Please note that we recommend our guests provide their own drinking water. The water is safe to drink but by preference we recommend you bring bottled water.

The bedroom is simple, but spacious and features a queen bed with a night stand, lamp and dresser.

The living room has a dining table with four chairs, couch, futon couch and chair (room for an air mattress-bring your own). Also a beautiful stone gas fireplace. The fireplace offers ambiance to the space and heats the cabin. Wood for the woodstove is located in the wood shed. A controllable thermostat allows guests to set the temperature of the cabin to their preference (there is a/c, however the shady location keeps the cabin cool in summer). There is also a small loft that is accessible by a ladder (reading nook). There is a television and a DVD player in the porch area and in the living room area. Free WiFi is now available. Chromecast is available on the television. There are board games located in the antique chest.

The cabin does have a steel roof and when there is rainfall, guests will hear the rain drops. Relaxing noise for most but...

There are two kayaks, many board games and yard games available for your use.
