This cozy cabin, perched above a quiet, beautiful lake, with views of soaring pine trees and wildlife is a great place for relaxing next to the warm fireplace, or taking a dip in the cool water. If you're feeling adventurous, consider hiking nearby trails, or enjoying a game, or a laugh with family and friends around the fire pit.
The cabin sits about 80 steps (a challenge for some) above Elk Lake. Elk lake is a no wake lake that is great for fishing, kayaking (we have two), and swimming.
The space:
The cozy cabin has four bedrooms on the main floor. One queen, two double beds, one single bed and a full futon and one full bathroom on the main floor off of the fully stocked kitchen and family room. The upstairs has a queen size bed bedroom and a full bathroom with its own heat and air conditioner and a beautiful view of the lake.
Stay comfortable with central air during the warm months and a wood burning fire place in the cool. Sip your coffee or grill out on the deck off of the kitchen on the patio furniture or picnic table.
Outside, let your children, or furry friends play without worry in the fenced in yard. Start a fire in the fire pit or try out some provided yard games in the large grassy yard.
At the lake: There are about 80 steps to reach the lake. Trust us, it is well worth the hike if you are physically able. Please know that the steps may be too much of a challenge for some. Elk lake is a beautiful no wake lake perfect for fishing, kayaking and swimming. We have a dock at the water to relax, swim from, or tie up your boat. We also provide two kayaks, a paddle board, paddle boat, and life vests. There is a boat landing directly across the lake about 1/4 mile down the road-a quick drive, or a nice walk.
We supply the following: blankets, linens, pillows, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, coffee maker and coffee, glasses, cups, water, firewood for heating the cabin, outside chairs and table, grill, fire pit and washer and dryer in the basement for your convenience.
Guest access: The whole house is available for guests.
Other things to note: Thank-you for picking up after your furry friend.

Very nice home and very comfortable for a large group. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of outside chairs for camp fire and lounging . The steps down to the lake were worth it-also good exercise! Loved the kayaks and paddle boat!
Great place to stay and Michelle was a great host - clear communication and instructions for check-in/out. This cabin home suited our needs for our weekend stay in Eau Claire and the adults and children all had a great experience!
This was just what we needed for our family to get together. We had space to cook, to eat at the large table , and rooms were very quiet for the little ones to sleep ! Was great highly recommend !!
We had an excellent experience at this property! Communication from the host (Michelle) was consistent and clear. She answered all of my questions! The cabin itself was so cute, it was just what we needed for the night. I would definitely recommend staying here!
Our stay was perfect! The cabin was clean and had all we needed! We loved that there were lots of blankets to cuddle up with!!! Thanks for a great night!!
We had 3 adult couples stay at the cabin and we all enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, the large central room with fireplace and having large bedrooms. Cabin was very clean and well stocked. Would stay there again.
OMG! This place is wonderful. Yes, the steps to the lake is a challenge, but we found driving to the public landing was just as good as carrying our stuff down steps.The house is very spacious - if you are ok with the small kitchen. Which my family was! !!!Don't second guess if you should stay here. You should!!!

Thank you and I’m so glad that you had a good time and Enjoyed the Water. Thanks again!!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The description of the property was accurate and the host was clear about the access to the lake. The yard was level, grassy, and great for the kids to enjoy. they loved the swing! There was plenty of room to pull up lawn chairs as well as deck seating. The location was so peaceful, yet it was only 15 minutes from town.The kitchen was small, but well equipped. We appreciated having access to washer and dryer, but the steps to the basement were steep.We enjoyed the variety of games and puzzles for all ages. Would we book this again? Yes!!
We stayed at the cabin while visiting our daughter at UWEC. It’s only 15 minutes from campus and has everything a family needs to enjoy their time together

Im glad you had a nice visit and for taking care of the place. Thanks for staying!
House was in a great location for our plans while in the area. Beds were comfortable. House was clean. Everything we needed was available. Living room furniture was comfortable. Communications with Michelle were excellent. Instructions for checkout were simple.
Great place for a girls weekend away! Plenty of room, lots of little thoughtful touches throughout the house and very welcoming host. I’m envious of the number of closets there are. Every room had extra bedding, blankets and pillows available. If we’re ever back in the area, we would definitely stay here again!
