About this property

Your home away from home mountain cabin

Our house offers space to come together as a family, slow down and enjoy nature. The fresh, cool mountain air is refreshing and inviting. Like most mountain homes, our house does not have AC as the breeze keeps the house cooler. During those unseasonably warm times, the box fans in the windows keep the air flowing and trips to the lake or river are just perfect!
The house has 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms and plenty of open space to hang out with the family. Up to 9 people will be comfortable in our 2000 sqft house. There is 1 acre of property to play on and explore. We offer internet and streaming services though internet can be temperamental. Cell service in our area can be spotty. WiFi calling works for most phones through the internet. Open concept floor plan, with full kitchen including common spices and condiments. The back porch offers a great place to sit relax and watch the wildlife as they pass through.

Notes:
4 wheel drive/AWD is highly recommended during the late fall, winter and early spring. We receive significant amounts of snowfall during these times. We have a short steep gravel driveway.
Our house does not have air conditioning. It is typically comfortable with the windows open and the fans running on those hot summer days. During the unseasonably warm days, the mornings and evenings provide cool weather.

Great house and location
Great stay and felt secluded yet close enough to Bayfield for supplies and eating out. Very happy with experience.

Wonderful place
The cabin was a great size. There were 3 good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, and with 3 granddaughters was perfect. Nice deck, from where we watched many families of deer, turkeys, and a lone squirrel. It was just a great place to stay.
