About this property
Fernwood Forest MTB/Nordic Retreat with Sauna. EV charging on premises.
Enjoy this gorgeous, cozy retreat in the woods. This custom-built,1,850 sqft. home is nestled on 5 beautiful, wooded acres. Head out the front door and be on the Birkie or CAMBA trails with just a short walk or bike ride. Several major lake chains, boat docks, and swimming beaches are a few minutes’ drive.
The modern open concept floor plan provides entertainment space on the main floor while the upstairs sleeps up to 8 people. The main level includes a living room complete with floor to ceiling wood-burning stone fireplace, full kitchen with custom cherry cabinets and high-end appliances, dining area, laundry room with washer/dryer, 3/4 bath, office area and amazing 3 season living space boasting a second fireplace, couch and dining nook.
All bedrooms are located on the second floor. The first has two sets of bunkbeds ~ twin over full, second bedroom with a queen and third bedroom with a twin. The upstairs also has a full bathroom with double vanity and living space with a full-size pull-out couch.
The cabin is well appointed with many modern amenities and comforts to maximize your enjoyment. Inside, you’ll enjoy the home audio & stereo surround sound and high-speed Starlink internet enabling remote work in addition to play.
Heated concrete floors on the main level and solid wood floors upstairs, custom beams, and ceilings that give you that Northwoods feel you love. The cabin has an outdoor hot/cold shower, wood-fired sauna, and wood pellet grill for your culinary needs.
The home has outdoor security cameras for guests' protection. This is a pet-free/smoke free home and a cabin designed for silent sports. We are more than happy to provide you with information on the area before your trip begins, and we will email you with information on the cabin before your arrival. We hope you enjoy your stay!
Wondering how to spend your time? This home is in a perfect location, located directly off Seeley/00 in the middle of Cable and Hayward, WI. Only a 15-minute drive to downtown Hayward and Cable. The house is located on a private road in a friendly neighborhood, and the Hayward and Cable area is full of interesting spots for you to explore.
Mountain Bike/Fat bike, Nordic Ski, Hunt/Fish, Golf, Kayak/Canoe, Snowshoe, Hike, Trail Run, Boat, and Relax! There is CAMBA/BIRKIE trail access directly from the end of our private road, getting you right to the 130+ mile CAMBA MTB single track mountain bike trail system, and the area’s 200+ miles of gravel riding or the world renowned Birkie trail. The cabin is within one mile of the brand-new Seeley Nordic Ski Center. You can bike, ski, hike, or snowshoe for days right from the cabin. There are snowmobile trails close, but we do not have direct access to get on them so you will have to trailer them to the trail head. The driveway has ample space and features is oval to allow you to easily maneuver your trailered toys on and off the property.
After your outdoor adventure, relax in the 3-season porch or outdoor patio with a book or board game, watch a movie, take a soak in the bathtub, relax in the wood-fired outdoor SAUNA or build a fire in the back-yard fire pit and enjoy the dark skies.
We have set the max occupancy to 8 people. Previous guests (prior owner) have provided high praise for the property and has consistently provided great experiences for their guests. This cabin is now under new ownership but will provide just the same excellent experience for the guests.
Level 2 EV charging available in the garage on a 30 Amp circuit giving you roughly 18 miles per hour of charging.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by martin widenbrant

Our family lives in Stillwater MN and love the outdoors, mountain biking, Boundary Waters Wilderness and winter activities such as nordic and downhill skiing. This is our first venture into short term rentals. We've often felt disappointed in the quality of properties, cleaning and maintenance which is why we want you to rent this property and enjoy a luxurious stay in solitude in a clean well kept property.
Why they chose this property
The direct access to the Birkie trail and the CAMBA trails at the end of the private road (less than 500 yards) made this the perfect property for both quiet living solitude in the woods and access to outdoors activities the perfect blend.
What makes this property unique
This property in the woods was a custom-built house for year-round living. No expenses were spared when the house was designed and built in 2014, so the guests will enjoy this wonderful property and not be disappointed with a cabin with ingrained dirt from the past five decades.
